sorry boss can't come in today i was on my way to work and then a gentle spring breeze kissed my cheek and reminded me it is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world

[hyperculture]

OH OKAY......

[gingik]

[willgrahamscock]

you really have to wonder why is ai so widely accessible when all our lives we’ve been told nothing in life is free

[willgrahamscock]

disabled people have to live below the poverty line to have access to things that give them independence, but ai is largely free and marketed as a tool to make life easier for everyone, it’s a therapist, it’s a partner, it’s an ‘art’ tool it’s getting people degrees in school… and then you read the studies where they’re proving ai is causing severe cognitive decline and it all makes sense, that’s exactly the type of people that can be controlled en masse, people that cannot think without being spoon fed information

I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

Shrimp hat of a shrimp wearing a shrimp hat. Is this anything.

Happy Holidays from the Holiday Boar

[guavajagular]

Christmas/Holiday Boars have always been a thing but it still blows my mind that people choose my Holiday Boar to celebrate. Thank you for all the love, Stay safe and Happy Holidays!

[heraldic-thunderbolt]

I am a huge fan of retiring to my quarters

[oflightningandstars]

"actively hungry" + "none of the foods sound good at all" is one of the worst combinations. who let this happen

[sunsetbuddie]

hey so anyone else just, feel thin. sort of stretched. like butter scraped over too much bread. like you need a holiday. a very long holiday. and you don't expect you shall return? or is that just me and bilbo baggins

[ebb-is-learning]

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

diagnoses character with whatever the fuck it is that i got

[hotshotriot]

stop being silly in front of me

[redstonedust]

anyone else wish they would get roped into a freaky friday body swap situation just for the hope that the other person will go "oh jesus fuck how do you live like this" and instantly validate your feelings of being Strange and Built Wrong.

[junglejim4322]

Why are there like 5 daily chores where if you skip them for 2 days your life becomes a time based psychological thriller after

[fancyasian]

man wouldnt it be silly if someone wanted to like, love me forever or smthn. what a wild idea totally crazy am i right...👀
