The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don’t need.

Hey, it’s got a handrail, it’s fine.

Do you think quoting Hosea 8:7 is a little too on the nose?

Which is also weird if you think about it because they have the republic system too.

This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

Unfortunately that is more a symptom than a root cause. Even if we could the infection would remain.

But if I don’t have American politics to distract me I have to confront how generally fucked the UK is.

Unironically? Maybe not. But using something ironically is still using it.

Imagine making paying someone to make an AI to be your friend and it still hates you. (I presume, given the current state of the right and twitter Grok might not think it is a bad thing.)

Why did you, personally, leave Reddit?

Just don’t read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

A lot of it is follow the leader type bullshit. For companies in areas where AI is actually beneficial they have already been implementing it for years, quietly because it isn’t something new or exceptional. It is just the tool you use for solving certain problems.

Investors going to bubble though.

It’s not just the discomfort it causes to the user, it’s how high quality, non-dissolving paper fucks the sewer system for everyone.

Best I can do is .7, but I’m taking all the risk here.

Yeah, you are right.

I think it’s the Ge’ez script used in Ethiopian.

Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.

But what are they filtering for?

If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.

A lot of them assuming you don’t get the required secondary powers.

Super speed, if your perceptions aren’t heightened it rapidly becomes impractical, if they are things are going to get painfully boring real quick. Even thinking at double speed means you are going to be waiting for the world to catch up a lot. Never mind what even relatively low G-forces can do to someone.

Super-hearing. Imagine if you really could hear conversations a block away, it can be hard enough discerning one conversation in a crowded room, imagine it being like that everywhere. All the rats and insects you will be hearing, the sound of people’s clothes rubbing together. Even if normally loud things aren’t deafening just focusing on one thing will be taxing.

If you don’t get secondary powers then super strength is going to suck. The human body is already capable of injuring itself with its own strength. How many fastball pitchers get arm or shoulder injuries just from throwing something really fast, or power-lifters who have something break or burst. Modern sporting records are starting to push up against the structural limits of the human body.
