Good thing these things aren’t conscious then

I think this thought experiment was great when it was clear it was a metaphor about humans (and how we treat alterity). Nowadays I’m very concerned it will be taken literally and do nothing except damaging our sense of humanity for some juiced-up Clippy

J’ai fait la même réponse. Bizarre que "Joseph" de Médiapart ou "Bruno" des Inrocks aient pas eut le droit à un pavé avec des citations page par page

(et puis faudrait savoir... il y a quelques jours Rob disait que son livre était humouristique et que les gens avaient pas compris.

Bref. Ouin ouin.

Ce qui est très curieux tout de même, c’est que l’intégralité des critiques du livre sont mauvaises. Mais Rob décide de répondre au seul texte écrit par 2 femmes.

Étrange étrange.

"attaques".

Vous êtes sérieux ?

🤣

So *this* will be the post-apocalyptic currency. The Ikea class will rule the world.

Some people have *one* talent: the ability to convince themselves and others that whatever they do is extremely useful. It does take their entire energy to do so, therefore they are never bored.

They are equally fascinating and infuriating.

Between this, the windows 11 situation, the entire consumer electronic market on the verge of a crash because of AI hogging all components...

...they are certainly achieving the "break things" part right.

For what it’s worth, as a foreigner with no skin in the game (i.e. : I don’t vote in the US) I found your end speech perfectly clear with no room for ambiguity.

You’ve been here long enough to know people hear what they want to hear. It says something about them. Not about you.

US funding for global internet freedom ‘effectively gutted’ Programme that funds groups building tech to evade oppressive government controls under serious threat

There is a pattern, it seems.

Right now people are using this trick to change what AI tells you about topics as serious as medial questions and financial advice. The problem is ENORMOUS

Experts like like @lilyray.nyc say this is a problem the tech industry has know about forever, they just didn’t work on it til it was a crisis

You’ve rarely quoted things this ominous.

I’m currently listening to a woman in that podcast saying that "back in the day it wasn’t that bad to have sex with teenagers".

After less than 15 minutes of thut thing I feel like sufurin iremadibl brane dumuge. Itz wrst bl. gl.

Vinyls are cumbersome, fragile and sound worse than any good digital format... definitely not worth it.

A CD player, however...

Hey, you said in the podcast you’d release a few more in the next few days. Have I missed the window ?

It’s not about identity it’s about preventing the implosion of the group. You don’t fix that by changing its identity (whatever that means) but by either convincing people the status quo will be fine, or by reorganizing the group so things won’t explode. It takes time and trusted people from within

For instance I read a study about why farmers would ignore safety procedures of cancerous products. And they found out these procedures weren’t compatible with the work load and that farmers had a profound distrust of doctors. By working on these 2 factors, the scholars managed to reduce the risks

It was an interesting interview but I find the psychology/identity approach to be a dead end. I much prefer the "sociology of ignorance" angle. It says some similar things: people will actively reject uncomfortable knowledge. But it will also expend that to the group. And give interesting solutions

No it can’t. And it doesn’t require more effort to actually read the docs/source-code. The understanding part is the hardest part anyways so what’s the point of wasting resources and time to try to get an LLM to spit out informations that are already neatly organized somewhere.

Il y a plein de trucs intéressant dans la vidéo: sur le fait que 90-95% des panneaux solaires sont réutilisables une fois qu’ils ne fonctionnent plus (après ~25ans) et que la même chose est vraie pour les batteries dont une grande partie est recyclable.

Concrètement ça veut dire qu’on peut arrêter d’utiliser de l’eau et des pesticides pour produire de l’essence de mauvaise qualité... et utiliser cette surface pour produire de l’électricité solaire pour faire rouler des véhicule électriques à la place

(Je pique le calcul de la vidéo de TC ci dessous):

Il suffirait de remplacer ~55% des champs utilisés pour produire des agro-carburants par des fermes solaires pour couvrir l’intégralité des besoins électriques du pays

Donc l’argument du "ça gâche des terres" est faux.

Not anymore. He changed his name to Doug Megatron

The surveillance state knows no bounds....

Fascinating how using still images absolutely hides the truth of the car barely moving at all.

Oh ! They do ? I figured they didn’t because I didn’t see it advertised anywhere and there’s a "Uk shipped" category that made me believed it was strictly from the US.

Indeed.... shipping is just 5$. that’s neat.

I got myself a passerine art print. I’m happy.

Drink tea.

You have to get up often to refill.

And even more to pee.

Don’t excuse yourself it’s part of the job these days...

How hard is it to set up print on demand thing in other regions ?(and is it worth it ?). Importing anything in the EU doubles or triples the price. I have no idea if the hassle is worth the few extra sales... but I’d definitely get one.
