bro you basically have to pinch a bee to get it to sting you, they’re the insect equivalent of sheep.
- Comment on Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die." 2 days ago:
i feel like that’s being forced in here, i’m literally just saying that they should scan through any text with the literal word “die” to make sure it’s not obviously calling for murder. it’s not a complex idea

woah dude, that’s far out
- Comment on Why? 2 days ago:
this is true for the star trek transporters specifically since they’re used for all kinds of absolute nonsense, but the easy solution to this is simply having a designated volume that is transported and making VERY certain that nothing important crosses the line.
- Comment on [Thread] Mental Math 2 days ago:
i feel like being objectively better than your body is a pretty fundamental requirement for transhumanism, like generally what’s shown as the ideal transhumanist body is a nanomachine swarm that can just make precisely whatever you want at any moment, you can be ostensibly human one moment and then turn into a fucking jet plane and go to the other side of the world and become human again to traipse through the jungles.

neural networks are like how small parts of your brain look like they work
- Comment on Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die." 2 days ago:
huh? finding only the literal word “die” is a trivial regex, it’s something vim users do all the time when editing text files lol
- Comment on Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die." 2 days ago:
anything containing “die” ought to warrant a human skimming it over at least
- Comment on Rail freight scheme sees 64,000 less lorry journeys in first year 2 days ago:
also like 30 minutes is a fucking chunky saving, usually with public transport you’re talking saving like 3 minutes! 30 minutes can very well be what makes services usable for way more people, getting them to switch from car to train.

- Comment on Why is my GPS so terrible?! 1 week ago:
also most devices nowadays and even for a fair while now support other systems too: galilei, GLONASS, beidou, etc. The broad term for GPS-like systems is GNSS.
- Comment on Animals that use Drugs 1 week ago:
honestly basically any animal that eats fruit will end up drunk at some point, a classic children’s story here in sweden has a scene where their chickens get drunk, and it’s pretty regular fare to hear about moose getting drunk on fermented apples from peoples’ back yards.

- Comment on Hummingbird Moths 1 week ago:
i want to live in a world where all insects ended up fluffy like these moths and bumblebees are.
- Comment on Hummingbird Moths 1 week ago:
but also evolution can be fucking horrifying: barnacles are crustaceans, slice them in half and you see a twisted gross crablike thing inside the shell.
- Comment on somebody has to do it! 1 week ago:
i mean looking at how all animals behave, in the absence of anything resembling their natural habitat they’d probably hear a fan running and feel it’s close enough to running water.
- Comment on Shorebirbs 1 week ago:
really all it should take is just the word “seahorse”, most people have at some point heard about how the males carry the children there. Can’t really dismiss that.
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
i like how yahtzee used “[youtube]” cut over in a deadpan voice when he was still with the escapist, make it obvious that you’re having to censor yourself and call out the platform for forcing it.
- Comment on New frog just dropped!!! 1 week ago:
“It was described in 2021 by Antoine Fouquet”
oh man my mind immediately turned that into a scene from Keeping Up Appearances…“Hello mr. Fucket!”
cringes “It’s Fouquet dear…” - Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
Same, though i don’t even consider them imperfections since that implies it’s in any way negative.
It’s more like how a perfectly uniform naan bread is just boring and kind of unappealing, you want the bubbles and charring for flavour and visual appeal.
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
it’s baffling because personally i could rant about how pretty most women are for hours on end, and if desired i can extend that to a lot of guys as well and i’m not even that into dudes.
- Comment on Jewel Beetles 1 week ago:
i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!
at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.
but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.
