  • Like, why did you manufacture this intractable problem by mandating clothing and shaming nudity in the first place?

    You think humans invented clothing because of shame?

    That’s completely backwards, we invented clothing for protection, and not seeing everything all the time led to shame when someone could see us.

    Like, I’m pretty sure hermit crabs feel something similar to shame when they don’t have a shell, they need something to drive them to not only protect themselves, but to ensure they can reproduce and raise their young. That’s why humans instinctually get weird about exposed genitals and boobs, those are the most important parts of a human from an evolutionary perspective.

    I get what you’re trying to say, it’s just you’re going about it completely backwards





  • Although the chatbot had been given a “baseline board” to learn the game and identify pieces, it kept mixing up rooks and bishops, misread moves, and “repeatedly lost track” of where its pieces were. To make matters worse, as Caruso explained, ChatGPT also blamed Atari’s icons for being “too abstract to recognize” — but when he switched the game over to standard notation, it didn’t perform any better.

    For an hour-and-a-half, ChatGPT “made enough blunders to get laughed out of a 3rd grade chess club” while insisting over and over again that it would win “if we just started over,” Caruso noted. (And yes, it’s kind of creepy that the chatbot apparently referred to itself and the human it was interfacing with as “we.”)

    It’s fucking insane it couldn’t keep track of a board…

    And it’s concerning how confident it is that it will work, because the idiots asking it stuff will believe it. It’ll keep failing and keep saying next time will work, because it’s built to maximize engagement.


  • And the title contains a false statement made to make people feel like a group of “others” are really to blame…

    If you don’t understand how that parallels Republican ideology, you’re making my point that the people who dunk on others can’t think like Democrats.

    Because Republicans always think they’re the Normandy assume everyone agrees with them.

    The reason America is so fucked up is 30 years ago those people took over the Dem party under the lable “modern neoliberalism”.

    That’s why there’s such a large disconnect between dem voters and dem leadership. And why turnout has been depressed and Republicans have been winning.

    Luckily for everyone, the neoliberals are out of party leadership now, and even if you all vote R like you did when Obama was the candidate, neoliberals voters are statistically insignificant.

    You won’t win Republicans the election, you won’t lose it for Democrats.

    Because we get sooo many votes from traditional non voters when we don’t have to ask them to hold their noses.









  • So, they got kicked for hosting CSAM…

    And in this post:

    I’ve received many emails over the years regarding the cost of datacenter colocation, including things like “why is it so high”, “why don’t use you [insert cloud provider here]”. The reason I colocate my own hardware is for multiple reasons, including the reason for this post. I can manage my own hardware (I’m actually smart sometimes!), upgrade it with 1-off costs (instead of needing to change plans, increasing monthly costs, etc), purchase new hardware when needed, and plan accordingly. I also don’t have to worry about getting my service suspended by providers like Cloudflare or other shitty dedicated server providers who balk at the first abuse report.

    Meaning it’s really just running in their closet, they’ve received multiple reports there’s CSAM, and they just keep operating?

    Like, am I wrong or is this person really just bald faced admitting to a serious crime while begging for money?
