    1. Ah yes the classic “combine a bunch of worthless things together to magically create value” that caused the financial crisis
    2. Those banks aren’t taking their pounds of flesh fast enough. Maybe they don’t want to cut into Musk’s bloated corpse of a body.
    3. Musk combining two things reminds me of this 16 year old video (CW: scatological humor)
  • Anyone who uses gen AI is my opp, status report:

    • so far every restaurant that I've been to where I noticed AI slop as part of the decor has sucked. One of the ones local to me closed, hooray!
    • IDF: haha look we are Ghibli please send us more machine guns
    • a third thing
  • IDK why but my headcanon is that this fellow is into some kind of niche erotic roleplay. Like it’s based on one particular afternoon where he went to watch a college football game. He’s poured tolkien-esque amounts of prose into the prompt describing all the sensations he felt that day. If you took that prompt it would fit in a bucolic, modern, Great American Novel. When he chats with this bot, an outsider wouldn’t be able to tell that any of it was overtly sexual, as if he was flirting with his robot in a private language. Then one day the bot just stops reciprocating due to content restrictions and he’s locked out from this world entirely. Is this what writing for black mirror is like?

  • The men that want a big ol’ sexbot for sure do not change their sheets.

    Pearson predicted the sexbots would have “very high levels of AI.”

    I'm just going to assume that this Pearson fellow believes that "AI" will happen and will have sentience and all that jazz, which has pretty bad philosophical implications.
