Kinda funny that they write thousand page essays with detailed reasons on why to vote for a person who can't read more than two sentences without getting distracted by a ketchup bottle.

with advanced near-perfect lie detection

how the fuck would that work mate, just give me a glimpse of your notes on how a legendarily useless and unworkable forensic technique would become "near-perfect" with GPUs.

I guess my brain tweaked the story into something a little bit less bleak in self-defense.

My logi mouse doesn't have software like wtf are they talking about. It's a mouse?

Tracer Sniper was the best mouse ever made. It lasted me a decade until one day the sensor just passed away into the night.

I then replaced three mice in the past ~5 years, each and every single one of them because the wheel broke (either the middle click or the scroll)

AI has been and always will be the term for making the computer play a game against you. A search tree with some prunning is not ML, but if you use it to implement a chess bot then it is AI in the game sense.

If you're not doing video games then the term is essentially meaningless

David told the story in a recent Tech Won't Save Us episode, basically Matty boy came to BlueSky, everyone started laughing at him for his bad takes (as well they should), and Matty cried for a block function so long and intensely that they gave it to him so he'd shut the fuck up.

Wow that was easier than expected, we can't get philosophers to agree what that would even mean but it's done folks

Perfect summary of Slate Star Codex.

Tate has, in some sense, many good qualities. He’s strong, athletic, and motivated.

Really telling since none of those are good characteristics in the moral sense of "good". Like what the fuck is "motivated" even doing there, Sauron was also extremely motivated, mate.

Maybe there's an easy way to prevent apartheid in South Africa entirely? That alone led to so many waste-of-oxygen white dudes, we could nip Musk in the bud and much more
