Yeah I know, I was just making a Futurama joke, all I can do before the American doggun bots swarm into Europe and herd my poor ass into the MoldyAI powering oven.

Saw the Boston Dynamics robot dogs with a gun, and I don't think we have to worry, due to it using a regular magazine and not having opposable thumbs it is has a preset kill maximum of 30 people.

Also, the amount of “ChatGPT is basically AGI already” people in the comments is alarming.

They prob should do a video on this effect as shown by the early ELIZA experiments. That even the smartest people could get fooled by a dumb program. Doubt they will though if they are into EA stuff.

Shen always seemed like a pretty decent person who posts pretty well. The whole situation where people attacked him for accepting the theft of his bike was pretty strange. (The comic just went 'well, guess they need it more than I do, whatever' which seems like a healthy way to get over your bike getting stolen. And people lost their minds, how dare Shen not be angry!).

And seems somebody made a docu about that note the person reacting to this still mad about Shens acceptance.

Congrats on your stoic non-reaction and ejection. You are now provably better than the whole alpha-maleosphere.

It is the not totally bad idea that you understand a different perspective if you can reliably write pieces of text in such a way that somebody from that perspective cannot tell you don't hold that ideological position.

It fails pretty quickly when tribalism comes into play (aka do it a few times, conclude 'our side is better at passing this test, so we are better', ideologies being broad and people not always realizing which ideology they really are in/differences in definitions. And other issues like it is just a bit of intellectual masturbation, depending on finding neutral people of that perspective. 'you failed the intellectual turing test so we can ignore your criticism of our side'. 'You would fail an intellectual turing test so we can ignore you'. It being debate bro culture with extra steps. People are not actually interested in the test but use the test as an argument to bash people (you once failed at detecting sarcasm and misattributed a sarcastic joke from a leftwinger to the far right? This shows the entire left fails the intellectual turing test and should not be listened to). etc etc. /rant

The 'kids learn english from movies' line is just insane. Yes they learn it from movies, and music, and books, and the internet, and etc. That is how it works. A lot better than duolingo in fact (Free yourself from the terror of the owl, you have been keeping your streak for over year and you still can't speak the language well enough to watch a movie. Streaks, progress bars, challenges, making the app sad, experience points, achievements, shit thought up by the utterly deranged).

Before anybody asks, pump didn't work out. Doing saline injections now, read on SSC it would work.

Walks into the room, hits the top of the doorframe, making sounds like a gallon of water being sloshed around
