the girl who is comfy in bed yearns to be On The Computer. The girl who is On The Computer yearns to be comfy in bed. Thus does desire become the root of all suffering

ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:

if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.

the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?

people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...

all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads

#taxonomy dictates they would be a mammal as they are synapsids descended from an ancestor who has hair produces live young and produces milk #descendent of a common ancestor losing ancestral traits doesn’t suddenly exclude them from the group #fun fact this makes us fish :]

yeah this is. this is correct actually everyone else go home

#no #they're cold blooded ffs

one time when I was really bored and high I decided to see if I could ghost k.o. everyone in lady boyle's party just for the hell of it, and in retrospect and sobriety, that is absolutely terrifying to think about from the perspective of the partygoers.

You're attending a lavish masquerade while corpses pile up against the walls of the estate. Maybe on some level you recognize the injustice of it all. Maybe not. But it hardly matters, because you're safe here, with the tallboys patrolling, and the guards around every corner. You're safe.

Until you realize that the crowds have begun to thin, so slowly and subtly that you didn't even notice, did you? They didn't all leave already, did they? So fast? So soon? Without even saying goodbye? You were just chatting with lord so-and-so in the parlor, what, ten minutes ago? Where did he go? Where are the ladies boyle? Where did everyone go? Why is the only other guest you've seen in the past five minutes that ghastly skull-faced man? Why can't you hear any voices in the next room? Any footsteps? Where are the guards? Where are the servants? Where is everyone else?

Where is the skull-faced man?

on your belly you shall go and dust you shall eat all the days of your life, you said to me but the man and his wife returned me my feet with the knowledge i did sow

Look at this! Look at my mutual!

This is glorious. Almost all of the same text was preserved, but it was structured in a way that A). Reveals more of genesis. B). Has an ABCDCBA rhyming structure, which is like... the chiasmus of rhymes. And chiasmus is like, one of the only poetic structures that is actually preserved through the funhouse of translation layers that the bible has suffered. C). The syllable counts match in each thing as well, just as a flex. D). The poem is comparing man to God, and the D line is structured so that the comparison happens over that line, and it's... I don't know what the word for it would be. It is just really, really fucking clever to have a mirror point in a poem that's essentially about comparisons.

Just. Holy shit.

chris fleming is funny because he looks like someone forced a jc penney mannequin to watch sex and the city 57 times in a row and left it on the front doorstep of a gay bar, but you listen to him talk and recount his experiences and he sounds like arthur dent discovering that he's bi at 31, like i could hit chris fleming with a sledgehammer and he'd get up and be like "well what the fuck is this, a home depot?"

hey so were y'all gonna tell me chris fleming had a tumblr or was i just supposed to find that out that he reblogged this after waking up from a 5 hour nap like some sort of groggy soon-to-be-hired on the spot court jester
