It would’ve been debunked by Snopes on day 1: “impossible, the game is written in Rust”

(I can’t think of one language that defaults to saturating integers)

Yet another downside of using ‘safe’ languages. You don’t get cool stuff like this.

The post-2022 Eternal September cohort and the deluge of new green accounts really love AI

I’d rather use Lobsters if I had an invite (hint hint wink wink), they are much more moderate about LLMs if not mildly negative, which is a breath of fresh air after a few minutes on here.

I sincerely do hope AI resistance becomes the spark to the class war barrel of gunpowder. Especially given who stands to truly benefit from this technology.

Yes, but the “architecture-independent” bytecode for these RISC machines that run underneath your various Intel and AMD CPU models is the x86_64 instruction set.

Page has been edited after my comment and changed from triple to double tap, and now they had to protect the page from vandalism.

I really don’t know how we went from “there are people bullish about AI, and others that see it as an existential threat” to the complete reversal/psyop in the past few months where AI doomer has become a synonym of booster (?) and grouped with rationalist and other pro-AI weirdos.

Like, I have never participated in the rationalist communities, I am not a neo-rx, I have always believed AI research to be an existential risk for humanity, and voicing this opinion now puts me in the same category as Yudkowsky and Altman/Amodei, the latter two being the total anathema to O.G. AI doomers like me because they’re the ones that are building the bloody thing

I really do not get what is going on, but this role reversal smells like a massive psyop campaign in tech circles to just silence any form of dissent against AI.

Not using an adblocker in 2026 AD is just asking for it

Double tap? It was a triple tap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Minab_school_attack

Also known as the Cobra effect

Better late than never to look past the propaganda, I guess.

Well, that’s what people have said all the way to $70k+ price.

Let’s just say it: most people have no taste.

No, learning is definitely not a sign of super intelligence. I know words don’t mean anything anymore, but that is simply general intelligence, despite the claims we have reached this milestone.

Not sure what GP meant, but I found this googling that term: https://static.bullionstar.com/blogs/uploads/2022/03/Bretton...

> Maybe we should vote for people who are financially literate, can think long term, and can "conserve" rather than politicians who promise endlessly?

Maybe we should consider the possibility that there is no such candidate, or if there is, they cannot compete against the 'populists'. What then?

Where are the articles about non-aphantasic people? And those from neurotypical people with rock-solid focus for that matter.

I keep reading about people with aphantasia in threads like these, and I never hear from who don’t have it explain what do they see and how vivid it is.

Does everyone have aphantasia? Is it like ADHD where finding a person that doesn’t claim to have it is pretty much impossible?

How is it that the entire rest of the world has managed to move on, yet North America is still going on with vaccine conspiracies 6 years later? And we got the same vaccines as you guys.

I bet €5 you’re using a mickey mouse linux distro.

Haven’t you heard that you’re not supposed to type code anymore?

Antifa is an American political construct to rally the neofascists behind. In Europe it just means ‘antifascist’, and is still something to be proud of.

I read you argue in favour of far-right German anti-immigration politics a few days ago, in which you admitted living in .de, now you're saying that there is no one better than Trump for US citizens?

How would you know and why would you have such a strong opinion?

Do you also happen to astroturf rightoid politics on Twitter by any chance? I heard it's a common pastime.

Well, I guess I inadvertently got great recommendations for running shoes with my ignorance (and wide feet). Thanks.

Cunningham’s Law strikes again.

Are these the flock cameras I keep reading about?

FWIW I have never heard or seen the Hoka brand in my life until now. I wouldn’t even try to google what On looks like. The first time I heard about Allbirds is when they pivoted to AI.

We all live in our own bubbles.

There is more to creative arts than raking in billions.

Why wouldn't a Formula 1 driver enjoy self-driving race cars?

Thank you, but we're discussing who's the worse to decide the fate of humanity between Amodei, Musk and Altman, not if one should be afraid of their local librarian. All three currently hold a lot of power in their hands.

Though I know I attracted all the downvotes for not agreeing with most Americans that Musk is the worst person since Adolf.

At which point does this argument stop being valid? Is the project manager the one that created the product? Is it the CEO that is paying the people to? Is it the bank that has granted the loan to build the company?

In my view, the one that "creates" is the one that puts in the majority of the effort. Under this definition, the average vibe coder isn't creating anything.
