  • So we get this tip, chief, water and power bills, big trash bags, the usual. We go in hot break the door kill the dog all by the book, and you wont believe what we see:

    Santorini, Tiny Tim, Tomaccio, Big Beef, well lit in these pristine pots like its fucking Breaking Bad. All the while the owner’s blabbering how it’s a mistake and this isn’t for sale, we’ve all heard it.

    So I put them down and go check the cellar just in case, and this is where the worst of it was. H1776-2023, the pesticide resistant variation, straight from Monsanto labs.

    Naturally the sick bastard had an accident on the way, let the coroner do the booking.




  • ALSO The North Star is actually three stars! The big one is 5.4 solar masses and 'uuge, a smaller one (1.39) is where our Jupiter is, and there’s another one (1.26) waay out there, like 80 times farther than Neptune. All that ~400 light years away from us.

    Got funny names too, because in 18th century they discovered the existence of the outer one and called them Polaris A and Polaris B. Only to realize 150 years later “oh crap Polaris A is also two stars, gotta call them AA and AB now”

    As a layman who’s into physics it took me like a decade to understand what is “wrong” with them. No educational string theory video is prefaced with “Hey this is an old unprovable theory that is essentially dead in the water, but it has some cool math tricks and is fun to think about” as they should be.

    What do you mean no advances in the last 70 years?! In the last decade scientists detected gravity waves and imaged an actual real black hole. Also they’ve been steadily chipping at quantum gravity, give it a couple decades they’ll get there.

    unless we cancel all the funding


  • AI will solve it, bro. We just need 100 billions to build it more data centers with a couple coal plants each but then it will revolutionize all the jobs. Every single one of them

    Just 500 bil and it will improve itself and stuff, do all the science and we can just chill bro can you imagine it? No work, no problems, just 24/7 chilling

    We can’t afford to stop bro we’re almost at the singularity. 10 trillion us dollars and it will terraform mars or what you fucking want? Time travel? Sucks your dick and fucks your wife? You don’t want chinese commie bastards getting quantum superintelligence do you bro? Fucking give it here. Your fucking future, give it to me you stupid piece of shit. Trust me bro.




  • Fam have you seen evaluations of AI companies. For the amount of venture capital poured into openai, their profit should 20x or it’ll take a century for the investments to recoup. The reason for why they keep investing is that the AI is supposed to blow up the market and earn gazillions back.

    Everyone agrees ML is extremely useful. Most people also agree that LLMs have their uses too.

    What we don’t agree is that AI is the printing press, electricity and the internet rolled into one. And if it isn’t, then all this investment is made under false pretense, hence it is a bubble
