  • Is it actually possible for a fish-like animal to have eyes at the front (i.e. an animal with a hydrodynamic shape that spends all its time underwater)?

    I feel like that’s really difficult for evolution to achieve, especially because the mouth has to go somewhere at the front too. I mean, look at where the lights of a high-speed train are placed and their shape.

    Intuitively it feels easier to just put the eyes on the side. Plus it feels like there’s a lower risk of damaging them when bumping into something.







  • Let M be the set of all memes.

    Is this well-defined? How can you tell whether something is an element of M?

    f(x) is a meme making fun of x for all x in M

    Does such an f even exist? Why? Obviously it exists for some x in M but for all?

    Thus there exists a normie meme n

    What’s a normie meme? Why does its existance follow?

    and a unique function F for all natural number k

    This again requires f to be well-defined.

    The set M is also equipped with a dankness norm.

    Prove it has that norm and please also prove it fulfills all properties of a norm.

    with property that ||F(k)|| ≤ ||F(k+1)|| for all k in N.

    [proof required]. Idea for a counterexample: A meme making fun of a meme in such a terrible way it cannot possibly be “danker”. Though this would require f^-1(terrible meme making fun of meme) to not be empty.


  • Disagree slightly, human created content can have intent but doesn’t automatically have it.

    A corporate ad does not have any artistic merit besides grabbing as much attention as possible. Actually creative ads where some thought was put in are the very rare exception.

    The same goes with a lot of pop music today. I cannot speak too much about English language pop but German pop is nothing more than fast food. See the Wikipedia article of Menschen Leben Tanzen Welt.

    Or take a look at video games. How much artistic effort is put into AAA games? Maybe someone spent 40 hours making the lootboxes as satisfying as possible to open but that’s probably where the most thought was put in.

    And movies? Aren’t Disney’s recent “live remakes” of their old, successful animated movies anything but CGI slop? Sure, I admit it takes a lot of effort to make and animate all these models. Just like it takes effort to shit when you’re constipated.


    Honestly, the only thing distinguishing AI from megacorp content is that the latter has more consistency and fewer “mistakes” than the former. The sole intent of both is making money.



  • China’s emissions have peaked and are going down now. Way before the promised 2035 deadline from your post.

    The 2035 deadline is not for the emission peak. It’s for the 7 - 10% emission reduction from the current peak. The difference between 7% and 30% is very much significant.

    Plus how has information changed?? The article linked is from 5 days ago. Nowhere is the period from 2020 to 2025 mentioned, neither in this comment nor in the article.

    Are you an LLM? Because your reading comprehension sure is no different than one.
