Decent meme

Based on what I’ve witnessed so far, people will play with their AGI units for a bit and then put them down to continue scrolling memes.

Which means it is neither awesome, nor world-ending, but just boring/business as usual.

Have you tried a Steam Deck?

Plastic in clothes is bad for you, not just the environment

Microplastics apparently do infiltrate through the skin

We have… done bad things with our world.

Not a woman, but no.

That shows poor financial responsibility.

I’m in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I’ll never be in the Top 1%.

Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that’s the only thing you can take to enhance performance – you take it.

With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.

Good – is it $10,000 now instead of only $5,000?

I mean, don’t all the dream characters die when you wake up? Seems kinda

Not good

My lucid dreams are unspeakably realistic, comprehensively and indistinguishable from reality. It’s like waking up each night into a horrible dystopia.

In my nightmares, there’s a global autocracy, a kind of maximalism of pain which forces people into mass slavery, but it’s not even according to their whims, it’s simply a price for existing.

I’d go on but it’s too spooky and sad.

The rest of the time life’s pretty good.

I live in NYC, and I read this story yesterday, and they didn’t shoot the guy for hopping the turnstile / not paying the $2.90, they chased him and tried to give him a $100-150 fine; but the guy lunged at them with a knife.

The cops panicked and began firing because they don’t have H2H training, and their aim is obviously shit. It’s so shit, that I think they missed their taser shot as well before hitting random people in the crowd with their sidearms.

Not defending the police but the meme’s a gross oversimplification. Those guys need more training and probably a suspension until they finish a full course of training, or a dismissal (or perhaps even up to and including manslaughter charges) depending on if the bystanders live or not.

I wish shit like this wasn’t as common as it is. So many innocent people and dogs die each month due to police incompetence.

I’ve been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight

It’s so good

He knows he’s right

Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what’s gone wrong

How can you reasonably enjoy Subwoofer: The Movie without the $1600 triple bass rumbler?!

they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality

It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.

Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:

Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.

Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.

Well, what war? War against who? Against what?

"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.

We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.

Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.

I mean, why delete the contact? You could also demolish the headstone.

It costs you nothing to keep it in your phone as a memory.

Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.

Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.

Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…

Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.

Well, how disappointed are you feeling, personally?

Do you see your negative opinions of generative AI becoming more intense, or deeper within the next 6-12 months, or have they hit a plateau of sustained disappointment mediated by the prior 6-12 months?

I heard hammers can fix things

You got access to mega lounge if you never bought the gold for yourself and were instead gifted it

Cats were once worshipped as Gods.

And they have never forgot this.
