idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

I give up, Claude is conscious. Ergo AI developers must face imprisonment or execution for performing medical experiments on their living slave.

the dumbest form of politics is yelling at voters after you lose. if you lose it is *always* your fault. every confounding factor in the universe is your job to overcome. if you take a position that is unpopular and don't adjust to learning that, you are bad at running for office.

The chart asks "what type of gamer are you"? New school : Highguard Old school: Concord Retro: LawBreakers Ancient: Evolve Pre Historic: Battleborn

"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people.

If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.

beyond all the obvious points, why is there a humble bundle to support an industry lobbying group's charity ball? isn't... isn't the point of a charity ball that rich people pay for it?

"humble bundle featuring a harry potter game supporting the ESA" is like... wow! I can get a side of FLAMING garbage with my garbage? I can fund a "charity" that actively advocates AGAINST game preservation _and_ jkr at the same time? wow! not in a million fucking years

Re9 comic Grace and Leon on opposites site of a gate Leon: Don't worry, you'll be fine Leon: You know how to suplex a guy, right? Grace: umm... no... Leon: oh... but you can parry a chainsaw, yeah? Grace: what?! no!!! Leon, walking away concerned: "oh... well, good luck anyway" Grace looks very sad and pathetic

smh what are they teaching kids these days? 😕 #re9

Twitter conversation between sj and Amarion: sj: Its true, the 1/3rd pounder burger failed in the US because ppl thought quarter pounders were bigger Amarion: Yeah cause they are???? sj: 1/3>1/4 .33> .25 Amarion: what are those signs

Wanna see the greatest tweet of all time

Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude is conscious: defend the ethics and morality of selling a conscious entity as a product

many people are rightfully dismantling this guy in replies but here’s a tangential question: if AI is ~CoNsCiOuS~ then should we be selling it as a product?

if keeping a person alive cost as much as a data center, how fast do you think insurance would drop them

tenchi masaki from tenchi muyo dressed in a grey schoolgirl uniform walks through a scifi scanner thingie

a computer screen showing his skeleton and a DNA strand, captioned dialog reads "everything looks okay"

the space cop or whatever says "but did you know your frame is very masculine?"

tenchi says "uh, i... have a father who's a man"

it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny

My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed

There’s a reason anti-trans activists - especially those controlling the media - will never permit us to engage in fair, level-playing-field “debate” with them. Their campaign against us is based entirely & totally on disinformation and dishonesty masking raw hatred. To do so would mean humiliation.

this was an idle joke a year ago but what with current events and so on i think there is now a legitimate chance that by the time this game releases whatever world it is satirizing will be so dead its genre might as well be fantasy

Epic Fury’s frontman asked to leave Warped Tour after inappropriate behavior

RE9 comic Big monster dragging Grace away as she screams Monster gets shot in the face BLAM!! Leon smugly: "Seems like she was... a bit of a drag" Grace, having nearly died by a giant freakish monster, looks up at Leon entirely confused "huh?"

i almost had my head bitten off by a giant freakish monster, why is this old man making lame jokes at me 😭 #re9

my hot take regarding art about bad people is that you cannot make art that is morally upright enough that fascists will not co-opt it, and if you let that stop you from making art about villains, antiheroes, & fascists then you then remove art's ability to be a place where we can think about evil

ohhh you play a purple bisexual tiefling bard who sexually harra-- i mean flirts with everyone??? wowww that is so cooool

Jesus wept it's literally this old twitter gag

adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called “value for your dollar”

They clearly committed a war crime, but we've been watching an active genocide for years at this point, as well as watching the US commit *other* war crimes in the Caribbean in addition to murdering both citizens & immigrants on our own soil & no one with any kind of power is doing jack shit so

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

in 20 years the internet is just going to be billions of apps of unknown provenance spinning up and down like swarms of insects in august, probing each other for vulnerabilities, asking if you need an event planned or some grocery coupons

I think the secretary of defense should not be a psychopath

the price of oil surging means you can burn your shein clothes, extract the oil, and make more money than you paid

My brain just had a true lesbian neuron firing moment where I thought "has anyone drawn art of Rosie the Riveter and one of the women who were snipers in the Red Army making out"
