intelligence is an extension of the body! thought does not exist independently of a material substratum! this substratum conditions all operations of "the mind" and anything with a meaningfully different substratum seems unlikely to develop intelligence in the way that term is generally used! okay!!

AI controls are coming to Firefox | The Mozilla Blog AI is changing the web, and people want very different things from it. We’ve heard from many who want nothing to do with AI. We’ve also heard from

I wish this kind of toggle existed for the rest of my life. Would very much like to press a button to never have to hear classmates say they cheat chatgpt as a friend to ask when they're stuck studying ever again

i think it's bc more and more countries are putting social media bans in place for minors (Australia, Spain, prob more coming) and they just wanna comply in advance

where can a girl in the year 2026 find a copy of Max Havelaar that leaves the weird antiquated spelling in tact rather than modernising it

after i told my two friends with the same first name the tale of mario 64 ryan (i.e. not wittgenstein ryan) consulting me about the dubai esports washing tetris event, one of them was like why does mario 64 ryan get a cool epithet while i get called "smaller"? so we redubbed her "portable" instead

i met with a professor in post colonial studies who's studying saudi arabia investing money in fighting games, he said if i ever wanted to get a job researching street fighter he could probably find me a position. this is probably easier to get funding for than philosophy, tbh

Koningin Máxima begonnen met reservistenopleiding bij de landmacht Als de koningin haar opleiding heeft afgerond, krijgt zij de hoge rang van luitenant-kolonel.

it's so funny how much effort the dutch royal family puts into seeming useful. the queen is joining her oldest daughter by joining the army, which will most likely lead to a boost in recruitment lol

one of the best pieces of advice my dad's ever given me is to get a good night's sleep rather than pull all nighters to study more bc getting to the exam completely exhausted doesn't weigh up against the extra study time

i can't help but feel a little bit vindicated in my exam prep approach of taking notes in class and then making a practice exam or two, given that I've so far passed everything with middling grades while people who spent more time cramming didn't pass

like the dolls aren't gonna mine that crypto themselves, they're gonna have to buy it on an exchange, which require your real name and a picture of your ID, and also literally get hacked all the time. estrogen isn't even a banned substance in many countries. what's the point of this.

making trans women pay you on crypto for estrogen is one of these security measures that exposes literally all your customers to the hundreds of ways in which you can get hacked or scammed in the crypto space. seems like a really poor trade-off frankly

<puts my philosophy hat on> that's such a weird thing to say, the prisoner's dilemma should be classified under rational choice theory rather than ethics

i'm adapting to the cognitive revolution of artificial intelligence by printing my school readings on paper and taking notes with a pen bc honestly i'd be pretty upset if my thoughts and my writing turned into boilerplate slop

getting our best people on R&D to start developing some new slurs for bisexuals

a reference for the subsection of my followers that watched belgian children's programming on public television circa 2005

our doorbell broke the other day and I'm very disappointed that nobody who's been at our door has used this opportunity to say "sorry ik moest kloppen want de bel deed het niet"

in hindsight it's silly that i was worried there wouldn't be a fansub of the new kamen rider girls remix special within 4 days of its release

anyways the examinator said he didn't get why anyone would stress about their exam grades, since nobody at the department cares nor anyone you'd later work for. positively surprised at how good the vibes are here ngl

the hardest part of my exams this block was not making disgusted faces at my classmates for using chatgpt to prepare. i think I'm morally I'm the right but it's imprudent when part of your grade depends on a group project

Yellow, blue and red printer cartridges and a big pile of cotton swaps with red, blue and yellow ink next to a bottle of cleaning alcohol

the suspect appears to have left all the signs of debugging a printer at the scene of the crime

i'm glad that our heroes in blue get a war crimes voucher

the new visa system for the UK is just such a waste of time man. what are they gonna do if i ticked the box that said i've done war crimes in the past? invite me to become prime minister?

also extremism isn't a fucking crime man. you can't be convicted of that.

if we take it as a given that the pen is mightier than the sword, and a picture can say more than a thousand words

do we think a picture is mightier than the sword or is this a fire emblem weapon triangle type thing

ohhh pls drop the recipe

Screenshot of the Windows store. it shows an application named Windows Scan by Microsoft corporation. At the bottom a PEGI 3 age rating is displayed

i like that the microsoft corporation scanner application has a PEGI 3 age rating on it

my housemate informed me that a great moral weight has fallen off her shoulders because she realised that she doesn't have a video essayist

it's so hard to explain Inherit the Wind (1960) to people who haven't seen the same moves as i have, like what am i even to say when talking to someone who hasn't seen twelve angry men or kamen rider x ooo & fourze movie wars mega max director's cut

it feels so decadent that we get our own purpose built search engine that's specifically for finding legal scholarship and jurisprudence

am i the only one that finds the amazon bus stop ads that promised "endless entertainment" a little ominous sounding? entertainment seems like one of those things that shouldn't be endless
