even hp already fucked off from this idea for less-used consumables, imagine being the product manager thinking you could make this fly for a decades-old computing peripheral people use literally daily

landlord brain truly is something remarkable

this remark demonstrates a stunning lack of any understanding of anything at all of any of the topics involved in this, amazing

first taste of apple intelligence and it's about as good as you could expect

but hey, an apple product has acknowledged swearing - progress!

(at a guess) that reversal in terms is probably thanks to the USA, where “Conservative” also doesn’t mean conservative, and “libertarian” has little to do with liberty

"rat"/"rats" is short for "rationalists", which is not to be confused for the english meaning of the word but instead is a reference to the capital-R Rationalists: a de facto cult that follow the teachings originated from their ~~sage~~ ~~creep-in-lead~~ Thinking-Really-Hard non-messiah eliezer yudkowsky, centered around his blog-and-forum LessWrong (a place named in remarkable antithesis to how frequently you can find wrong things there)

one of the key things believed/feared/waffled-on-voluminously by the rationalist community is us mere mortals tampering with computers is going to lead to creating a machine superintelligence and that if we're not super duper nice to it in advance of it existing then the big bad AI is going to kill us all (because it can make chips out of us, or whatever). for not having been nice enough to it. (they call this "alignment", as in "it should be aligned with human values")

you can check the sidebar in the sister community (sneerclub) for some more references, and do some reading up around the TESCREAL bundle (as named by Timnit Gebru)

advance warning: these people are real fuckin' dumb, and you will learn some very depressing shit

other handy thing you can do: make a bookmark that has the URL be javascript:(function() { function bits go here} )();, and stick it in your bookmark bar

from the top down with either dfs or bfs depending on how you found the thread to spread, or from the inside out (by clicking through QTs until you get to the root). because twitter totally made browsing this shit easy.

what's hard.

I wouldn't be too quick to conclude it's that - I've seen a number of these creeps wear/handle-pick slurs as a trying-to-be-funny pejorative

christ and it's always the fucking bad-faith bullshit arguments. I bet if you pulled another dimension to the same fucking numbers there you'd instantly find some Rather Interesting correlations with income brackets, and if you pulled a dimension for care/spend class you'd find Another interesting correlation

I wish these people just fucking wouldn't, gah
