When I have kids, I'm gonna make sure the first AIs they get exposed to are really old dumb ones while I explain how they work. Then maybe they'll always have that little bit of wariness in the back of their minds, like I got because I used those old dumb AIs when they first came out.

I was an Amazon delivery driver and it's a rat race between contractor companies where if you're too slow your contract gets terminated.

Except these "contractors" have to use Amazon's app, Amazon's warehouse, and custom Amazon delivery vans. If their contract gets terminated there's just no more company.

The one thing metric screws up is file size.

A gigabyte is 1000 megabytes or 1,000,000 kilobytes or 1,000,000,000 bytes.

A gibibyte is 1024 mebibyte or 1,048,576 kibibyte or 1,073,741,824 bytes, because it needs to go by increments of a power of 2.

This would be fine except gigabyte also means gibibyte. So if a file claims to be N GBs, I don't know if it actually means metric GBs or GiBs.

Considering in the past, even before AI, there have been games put in the store without an executable file, this rule makes sense and should've existed long ago.

0 to 60 in a few seconds is fine.

60 to 0 in under one second is not fine.

The apes settle their differences and none of them are forced out of the jungle into the plains.

And BAM, humans no longer exist.

Weird opinion: I like square brackets, angle brackets are neat, curly braces range from neat to ok.

But I just don't like the look of parentheses compared to the others. They especially look ugly and clunky when you need a bunch of them in a row, in a way that's not true for the others.

I can't think of a reason why I feel this way apart from the fact they tend to be very clunky in math too. They're also the ugliest one when handwritten despite being the arguably simplest shape.

All that said it annoys me how parentheses are the most used bracket type in programming.

But buying up the world's silicon wafers that you don't even have the ability to turn into chips is a much better use of resources, right Sammy?

I understand why AIs struggle with letters, because they see each word/subword/phrase as a numbered index in a token dictionary.

But what I don't get is how stubborn they are about it. Every single time I see an AI fail to count a number they will swear up and down they are right. They will stop being agreeable assistants and fight tooth and nail for the fact that seventeen has three 'E's.

I like the concept of Ultra Genders.

AGAB: "I'm transgender, no I'm not a trans man, no I'm not non-binary, I'm just even more of a girl than what I was assigned at birth."

The only de-gendered bathroom signs I think works are "Toilets" and "Toilets and Urinals".

If we're removing the aspect of gender then that's the only real difference between bathrooms.
