The new world's hottest pepper, Pepper X, is 3 times spicier than its predecessor
  • Exactly right. Funny thing is he’s had Pepper X waiting for just such an event, but decided to release it anyway because nobody could beat the reaper. But they were getting close, so time to pull ahead again.

  • I know Ed Currie personally. He's a great dude, gives back to the community, and is a total mad scientist. He has peppers waiting in the wings which put this one to shame!

  • [DALLE] An unforgettable luncheon
  • This needs to be on a t-shirt and I need to wear it.

  • Are there any kbin instances which are up to date with the source code?
  • That's a shame, because I much prefer the interface to Lemmy's.

  • Supreme Court likely to side with South Carolina GOP in racial gerrymandering case
  • "Circumstantial Evidence"... yeah. The circumstance is that South Carolina is extremely racist (I live here) and the congresswoman who drew this map is extremely racist. The same shit was just proven racist in ALABAMA of all places... but not here? Unreal.

  • Artificial General Intelligence Is Already Here | NOEMA
  • Comparing current LLMs to the ENIAC is thought-provoking; I understand the eagerness to extrapolate in that direction. That being said, I don't think it will be linear or even logarithmic in progress. The current state of computing and technological advancement has become:

    1. Initial introduction or release
    2. Major hype and influx of greed money. <- we are here
    3. Failure to live up to the hype, resulting in the tech becoming a punchline and gobs of money lost
    4. Renaissance of the tech as its true potential is eventually realized, which doesn't match the original hype but ends up very useful
    5. Iteration and improvement with no clear "done" or "achieved" milestone, it just becomes part of society
  • First Look at Pristine Asteroid Dust Reveals Abundance of Water And Carbon
  • So cool. We are on the cusp of very interesting times in exploration again.

    Bennu's exterior were so loosely packed that if a person were to step onto the surface, they might sink in, much like a pit of plastic balls in children's play areas.

    No they wouldn't, that thing barely as any gravity and that's why it's so loosely packed. But the visual is fun. Galactic ball pit!

  • What popular quote are you tired of hearing?
  • Yeah the genie is already waaaay out of the bottle in the US. It would be logistically impossible to get rid of guns, nice as that would be. This is something both extremes refuse to accept, because they wouldn't have a cause or solution to rally around. No, Bubba, nobody's going to take your guns. No Stewart, we can't just ban guns and wash our hands of it. Other countries have indeed mostly eradicated firearms in normal society, but nowhere near on the scale that the US has.

  • What popular quote are you tired of hearing?
  • To be fair I've been abusing with alcohol since my late teens. So I guess we're even now.

  • Hmmmm I do love to eat bananas 🤔 BRB, off to sue Chiquita

  • What popular quote are you tired of hearing?
  • In my case, it was through no action of my own and merely bad luck. So the only "reason" would be bad luck or a shitty all-powerful deity.

  • Oh sweet summer child

    The cancer disagrees.

  • Oh wow this is great

  • I would not mind having a third eye, would you?
  • More eyes means more flavor!

  • What kind of stew do you have today?
  • I just think they're heat!

  • What do people use to start a blog nowadays?
  • Enshittification. They've turned the corner of chasing profits by being user-hostile.

  • What do people use to start a blog nowadays?

    Now that Medium has fully enshittified, and Substack is well on its way, where can I publish for free with good discoverability and no paywall? I've considered starting my own blog site using a static site generator, but I figured I'd get people's thoughts prior to doing that. Thanks!
