He did, it's the Turing Award.

Okay sure, but this is comical. A Turkish nationalist will be a Turkish nationalist with or without this idea. It's the equivalent of saying that Turkish people have naturally less odorous farts and thus TURKIYE SHALL RULE THE WORLD!

This operating system has NO SCIENTIFIC RELATIONSHIP with our universe and actually causes the brain to become agitated.

This but about Windows and unironically.

like people thinking that all languages come from turkish

This is amazing, I fucking love this. People striving to create the lowest stakes possible conspiracy. I struggle to think of something that would have less impact on the world no matter it were true or false.

A shadowy cabal of powerful people guarding the secret of "actually, it was [rolls die] Turkish people who invented [rolls another die] language!"

My commitment is that maximalism or strict binary assumptions won’t work on either end and don’t satisfy what anyone truly wants or needs.

What's truly lovely about GDPR is that it is maximalist, strict, and binary. For any "but..." of a corporation the GDPR answer is "fucks given: 0, this is YOUR problem, comply or perish."

Which makes it so baffling every time a techbro fails to understand it or claims "GDPR doesn't apply to me." Just don't fuck around with PII and don't collect any without explicit permission from the user! How is this difficult?!

A popular meme on social media makes a series of allegations about the musical tune pitch A=432Hz and A=440Hz, including that the latter was a standard imposed by the Nazis to manipulate their enemies.

spittake

Multiple experts told Reuters these allegations are unfounded.

NO WAY

Thanks Reuters.

Neural nets are much better at processing language than anything produced by the Chomsky school of linguistics.

Hey mate, did you get your PhD or a fucking Nobel in linguistics by any chance? No? Just talking about shit you apparently have no idea about?

I didn't even know you could be a crank about linguistics, that's pretty amazing. What other otherwise really boring fields are you going to tackle, geodesy?

You're were hired for a backend team. They started learning React as you joined.

Ye that is when you strike. Build a guillotine if necessary. The fuck.

Every AI spring brings an even harsher AI winter.

Winter is coming.

Well the main problem is that a datacenter is running much more than just AI. You'd need to somehow subtract "normal" cloud usage from just the promptfondling.

Typical OpenAI Practices And Behaviours are going to inform what becomes anathema

Thou shalt not make a grift machine in the likeness of OpenAI

Does this mean the big money people are planning to dump their shit on the rest of us so that when genAI goes down its our savings that go “pop”?

You know how crypto is about me selling you a useless and worthless token before anyone realises and the price collapses? Ye, that but with companies.
