And if I use "I feel" instead of a more concrete assertion, it's clear from context that I don't have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.

Feel free to disprove me.

They shouldn't be plotted that way technically. The big 5 are independent traits so they should essentially be sliders, not linked like that.

That said, it's way easier to see the points when you do that. Easy to miss when colors swap, for example, without the lines when you've been looking at this stuff for a few hours.

I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.

It's not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it's really not equipped to do.

To pile on: They don't filter anything, or search anything. They are clever parrots made up of huge streaks of linear algebra. It has no understanding of anything nor interest in doing more than generating sentences that look right given a prompt. Even saying that it has 'no understanding' or 'interest' is giving it too much credit, implying intelligence or decision making capability. It's just ridiculously vast math.

Upvote for use of real interrobang alone.

Mormonism is like acid-trip-based fanfiction for displaced Europeans to feel included in shit that may or may not have happened in the middle east.

Been a minute since I read these. It's so telling that the actual crimes start at 6, and move to thought crimes at 9. The rest is god fluffing itself.

Wait. Is scientology related to the abrahamic religions?

I was thinking frame them in a really bad frame that falls on its face all the time. If you have older students, just loudly state how much you would dislike it if the commandments were stolen or otherwise defaced and let nature do its work.

But I like yours.

It is, definitely. We own our home and leave it on the level 1 charger all the time. It gets us around the metro just fine, no long commutes so it's great for us. And as someone mentioned somewhere around here, a longer charge time isn't necessarily bad if you're the only driver on long trips. I'm honestly more worried about having to stop in areas with only a couple chargers (Midwest here) and some asshole vandalizing them and leaving me stranded. But that's a concern that pops up once or twice a year at best. And the various charger apps are pretty good a letting you know they're down.

I'm certain that I won't be able to put out an ice engine either. That's fire people territory and I trust them to know their business.

Someone once referred to motorcyclists (specifically the ones without helmets or leathers) as "meat crayons" in front of me and I can never get it out of my head.

As the owner of a Bolt, the only significant criticism is range (mine's a 2020, gets ~180mi comfortably on the interstate) and charging rate (2020 bolts are limited to 50 kW, so kinda specific). Not great for road trips, but otherwise fantastic. As for electric fires... yeah I wasn't gonna be able to put that out anyway so the firefolk have it either way.

Sociopathy, lack of long term planning skills, drugs (metaphorical and physical). Some combination of those I suspect.

Good call. Now steal one of their trucks to haul them and we're getting into real crime!

Or steal the sign, modify it, and put it back. That way no money goes to them. We're already committing vandalism, what's a little petty theft?

I've no significant opinion of India beyond anti-Modi, and that's a product of John Oliver. Most of my engineering team are Indian and some I like, some I tolerate. And a fear of Indian traffic by reputation alone.

But you could swap "American" with "Indian" in that first paragraph, change nothing else, and it be largely (if not entirely) accurate.

Fair enough. A lesson in "not every bad take is Russian".
