Everyone:

please stop.

Soon they will realize they simply have to much money to spend constructively and will start sharing with the rest of us. Any day now.

People used to make fun of me cause I made up a fake persona for Facebook, never allowed tagging, never allowed my picture on it.

Nobody, makes fun of me for this anymore.

Most of them are off Facebook as of last year, but their profiles, personal data are all still there.

As someone who has been in IT since 1994, I have a nearly zero presence on the internet, and I've had to work hard to keep it that way.

The goal is to train our replacements so the rich will have replacement servants ready when their slaves start dying off.

I can't stop thinking about this piece from Gary Marcus I read a few days ago, How o3 and Grok 4 Accidentally Vindicated Neurosymbolic AI. It's a fascinating read on the differences of connectionist vs. symbolic AI and the merging of the two into neurosymbolic AI from someone who understands the topic.

I recommend giving the whole thing a read, but this little nugget at the end is what caught my attention,

Why was the industry so quick to rally around a connectionist-only approach and shut out naysayers? Why were the top companies in the space seemingly shy about their recent neurosymbolic successes?

Nobody knows for sure. But it may well be as simple as money. The message that we can simply scale our way to AGI is incredibly attractive to investors because it puts money as the central (and sufficient) force needed to advance.

AGI is still rather poorly defined, and taking cues from Ed Zitron (another favorite of mine), there will be a moving of goalposts. Scaling fast and hard to several gigglefucks of power and claiming you've achieved AGI is the next big maneuver. All of this largely just to treat AI as a blackhole for accountability; the super smart computer said we had to take your healthcare.

Fucking stop lmao

Still pushing those silly ray ban spy glasses I see.

And who will pay for this absurdity? Someone has to provide the power, the water, the air quality, the land degradation etc. This is all for pursuing a dead end technology that actually isn’t intelligent and given how it works, won’t be. A waste of effort to shore up share prices.

And meanwhile people are starving.

Why not build vertically instead?

Between this and the other NOAA headline, I feel like we'll soon live in the Rainworld universe.

Woody Allen is making another project related to Manhattan?

Hi, can he not?

Just… no.

This guy is single-handedly reversing the trajectory of nerd bullying.

ITOps is going to wonder around drunk and piss on a rack.

Why don’t people block all Meta properties at the network level via IP addresses and/or DNS? Where do you think the funds to pay for this come from?

So, remember matrix 3?
