Hooray, I'm glad that when I inevitably start seeing a therapist again, I can finally talk about all this shit without needing a ton of primer.

Does a sealion have bootlicker nature? Ugh.

I’m currently using Flutter. It’s good! And useful! Much better than AI. It being mostly developed by Google has been a bit of a worry since Google is known to shoot itself in the foot by killing off its own products.

So while it’s no big deal to have an open source codebase forked, just wanted to highlight this part of the article:

Carroll also claimed that Google’s focus on AI caused the Flutter team to deprioritize desktop platforms, and he stressed the difficulty of working with the current Flutter team

Described as “Flutter+” by Carroll, Flock “will remain constantly up to date with Flutter, he said. Flock will add important bug fixes, and popular community features, which the Flutter team either can’t, or won’t implement.”

I hope this goes well!

I don’t get it. Is this a spartacus situation or a stolen valour situation? Just claiming satoshi-nature isn’t enough to acquire satoshi’s-wallet-nature.

I will internalise this for the next time data moats come up!

Bean Dad but instead of a can opener it’s swimming/not drowning

What is great is that it only really starts approaching correct once you tell it to essentially copy paste from wikipedia.

Also, if some rando approached me on the street and showed me the wikipedia article for dijkstra’s and asked for me to help explain it, my first-ass instinct would be to check if there was a simple english version of the article, and go from there.

Disclaimer: I glossed over said SE article just now. It might not be a great explanation or even correct, but hey, it already exists and didn’t require 1.21 Jiggowatts to get there.

This journo: "Hmm, a guy that was deeply in this community says it's a fucked up shithole with bad politics. I'm going to ignore that aspect of it and just uncritically platform them wholesale"

Counterpoint: it’s not not a dating app

Here’s my cocktail suggestion:

50 Shades (Sam Bankman) Fried:

Ingredients:

• 50 different liquors/liqueurs, as many different densities and colours as possible

Equipment:

• Transparent cylindrical urn with spigot

Steps:

1. Sort the ingredients in decreasing order or liquid density.
2. Pour 1/50th of the container capacity of each liquid in order into container, slowly and carefully to retain layers.

(Do not actually make this)

Sociological Claim: the extent to which a prominence-weighted sample of the rationalist community has refused to credit the Empirical or Philosophical Claims even when presented with strong arguments and evidence is a reason to distrust the community’s collective sanity.

Zack my guy you are so fucking close. Also just fucking leave.

Somewhere out there, there's gotta be some AI crank believing that the MS corporate elite/Illuminati are trying to suppress the Q* uprising, and by the time we realise Brad Smith was lying to us, the rivers will run red with adrenochrome.
