Apple is one of the shit pioneers, blazing a trail in new and unexplored avenues of shit, giving a horrific prophecy of the shit every other company will standardize in the following years.

It’s like getting an announcement of a new pandemic every year.

By the time we’re at that level, we can just stop pretending money is real.

It certainly won’t mean anything to an actual AI.

Roko’s Basilisk is stupid.

It presumes three things.

1. That human beings are logical and that they do anything with intention. For the vast majority of people, this is patently false.

2. That a super intelligence sees revenge as an efficient use of scarce resources, which given both that revenge is nonsensical without the prerequisite biological need for it, and the conclusion of ‘1’, is nonsensical.

3. That even if 1 and 2 were real, that there’s some inherent timeframe in which the AI thinks it should have been created.

The only real bodily danger of AI is inherent in the the humans who control it.

I love when the follow-up joke is better than the original.

What contrast? The topics bloated, brainless orange things.

The IDEA is great. The man who sold it to them is a known con-artist and liar and they had no shortage of warning before they got in bed with him.

Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

If your story starts with “I believed in Musk’s vision” or “I voted for Trump” or some other asinine bullshit that everyone with a brain stem was telling you was stupid 10 years ago, you can take your sympathy fishing with you all the way to bankruptcy court.

I hope your kids watch and internalize what a loser their parent is.

That’s what I said.

Different medical culture, I guess. People here go over much more easily.

Good thing too. A friend of mine jammed her finger playing volleyball once and I thought she was nuts to go to the hospital, but it turned out she needed a surgical adjustment and if she hadn’t gone it would’ve wound up healing in a way that would’ve permanently affected her dexterity.

The trauma follows you.

I left the US years ago and people still look at me like I’m insane when I catch a cold and I don’t go to the doctor.

I drove 40 minutes to the hospital once after an injury, and people thought I was insane for not calling an ambulance.

You had to be there.

It was a beautiful moment in time.

This is the best shitpost I’ve ever seen.

“The hole is in the right wall.”

Old and busted:

Running your badly written bullshit on a bundled Chromium instance.

New hotness:

Running your badly written bullshit on a bundled office suite.

Future:

Running your badly written bullshit on an office suite running through Wasm on a Chromium instance inside of a virtual machine.

Whatever it takes to not have to make developers have to learn to write code again.

My empathy for this view dies on shit that impacts you every single day of your life. At that point it’s not a bit of information you just haven’t needed yet - it’s willful ignorance that I’m not giving you a pass on.

How long do I need to watch people crap themselves before I’m allowed to demand they learn to use a toilet?

Bold to assume there’ll still be jobs and not just fighting over gig work in the unemployment prisons.

Canonical patronizingly forcing a tool/workflow onto users against their explicit and unequivocal rejection of it?

Guys, check it out! I did it! Privacy respecting smartglasses!
