  Oh yeah this is one of the biggest things that AI fucks up – reality. Nobody would put a painting above a stove IRL. That’s the most obvious flag to me. It’s like a spot-the-difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you like math⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  From this we can infer that fucking is a complex function 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hope you like math⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What in the fucking fuck implies that fucking is an injective function over the field of fucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure about this one ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not sure about this one ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely not. Lifeguards literally save so many lives. Maybe it’s different in the US with its weird power structures and motives, but lifeguards are more like the fire brigade than the police here…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah a grass lawn with no flowering lawn plants is dull and borderline sterile anyway. At least it’s not being replaced with AstroTurf

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨functional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Source???

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨functional⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Formatting is wild there my dawg. Fermat’s sufficiently recognisable tho’ that I know what it meant to say

  The proof is actually pretty simple but the character limit on my instance is too small to contain it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They even got their own island⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow that article’s a blast from the past

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a very very good video. I loved the review of Atlas Shrugged

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon isn't a Microsoft fan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good book! Fascinating that the author was hoping to write about the rise and fall of Tether, but it never quite fell, so he ended up with the climax being SBF’s downfall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Misleading you to what conclusion that you wouldn’t otherwise have reached?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t agree with you more. In particular, the way most state pensions are structured imply infinite exponential growth. It’s gonna be a tough drug to wean off of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon takes shots at Donkey Kong⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could start Starfox without the extra chip if you did some trick with the cartridge, but there were big black bits on the screen or something? It sorta worked but it sucked. I can’t remember any more details than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly it’s not objectively false, it’s merely vague. There’s no equivocation whereby it actually specifies that the unit of measure is the individual animal, rather than, say, kg. It’s just playing on your assumptions (I did assume biomass fwiw, but who cares).

  But anyway, the point made by sheer fucking biomass imbalance is surely the thing to focus on here? Now that we know what it means, and are in agreement that the wording should be clearer, the statistic is still egregious, isn’t it? Humans have taken far too much of the world for themselves IMO. Vastly diminishing returns for us, devestatingly larger impact on the environment, the more we push it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think biomass is probably more important than sheer number for these comparisons. Although I would also accept ‘proportion of world’s arable land being used to sustain them’ as I suspect the ratios come out pretty similar for obvious reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s just upsetting. What’s the point of even asking trick questions like that if you’re just gonna provide an inaccurate answer? Like, it’s absolutely terrible teaching. If you’re not comfortable teaching the concept of negative numbers just… don’t ask questions where the answers are negative? Completely batshit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes experience⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s just a greentext. It’s fake.

  Also gay.

  Mostly it’s a fetishization of being the minderstood smart kid with scenarios that aren’t true but feel true.

  Pretty fake. Pretty gay.

  I don’t really like the slur I’ve been using here, but authenticity requires it. Oi moi.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lizards in space math⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stop bringing your practical realism into my dreamworld moral absolutism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lizards in space math⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you’re trying to match individuals to dissemination, idk man neither of us were there

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hey..⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good story. I’ve bookmarked that one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon conserves power⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually wait this is glib as fuck and probably wrong, I retract it. You could have the capability to understand, given specific allocation of resources but only do it rarely, without violating any information theory fundamentals

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon conserves power⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But then you just have the same paradox writ large. Maybe we, as a collective, can entertain understanding of a single mind - but the generalisation of us as ‘the mind’ rather than ‘a mind’ includes all of us, and must therefore be left wanting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves The Lord of the Rings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair. Braid is, in some ways, the video game i consider most worthy of the status of ‘art’ so I couldn’t not say it, although it’s certainly not like LotR in that respect. OoT OTOH, feels like it fully fits

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves The Lord of the Rings⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Braid and Ocarina of Time are the two that come to my mind…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon conserves power⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a pretty trivial informational paradox for a mind to comprehend itself – comprehension of its comprehension of itself then needs further comprehension… So yeah. Only a much more complex mind can understand a given mind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too many non-working holidays in America.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fellas, is it woke to like holidays?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It largely won’t happen. We’re near a ceiling on what predictive models can do, and it’s still painfully obvious when something’s bot-generated. Porn is one where I can actually see that changing because people have never minded absolutely trash porn, but the arts as they currently exist are not gonna vanish

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not gonna double my response - OP deserved it more - I will say another ‘fair enough’, give you an upvote, and leave it at that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon predicts the future⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good response, happy with that. Sorry about the implications, I think I just found it a fusty conservative choice. Had it been Infinite Jest and Chaucer I probably wouldn’t have bothered responding. Sometimes the idea of ‘classics’ can seem… narrow and dull. Just wanted to mitigate the notion it was all brown bread (not that I don’t love your suggestions tho’)
