What in the AI slop is this website? Looks like it's trying to get me to download malware.

I’m not against, I’m just saying one can find answers to the deep questions of life without having to buy into religion wholesale. No one ever told me this was even an option, especially due to the toxic discourse around atheism and Christ

Can we stop conflating AI hype and boosterism (i.e. LLMs are great and can only get better) with AI doomerism (i.e. AI research is gonna end up killing us all)? They are two very different camps that because of ignorance or malice (Altman a

What is moral ? It is not a law of the universe. It is a subjective and culture-defined human construct. It is very ineffective to try and understand metaphysics through the ever-shifting lens of morality.

I love both of these, and I wonder why would I need mainstream religion when stories like these are deep enough to provide answers, hope and meaning for those who seek it. If the message resonates with you, why not adopt it? Nobody could ev

> Tech has always been breaking social contracts The unnecessary hyperbole ruins your argument. Not all of tech is about breaking social contracts. Whose livelihood is destroying the engineer that design better protein folding software?

Nowhere is safe, is it? All that is holy is profaned.

Another pro-AI psyop to show that AI generated content is perfectly fine, created by cunning machines and spread through mindless meat proxies glad to do their bidding. /s but also not really.

timecube.com is lost, zombo.com has been redesigned. If this is not proof of a dead internet, I don’t know what is.

Another one: encode instructions on how to draw the glyph into the text itself. The string becomes both the text and the font. Why not make it turing complete and as powerful/complex as TTF.

Given the HN-worthy differences posted by others, here’s another example of why it’s not a good idea to delegate your thinking to LLMs.

True, but not all non-UTF8 bytestrings contain 0xFF bytes, so it’s not very useful in practice.

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

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.

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 gro

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.
