Why in hell would it be Andy Weir?? Especially with authors like Dennis Taylor and Ernest Cline around.
Also, spoiler: it’s Ayn Rand according to my vigorous skip through the YT video. (This could have been a paragraph post, not a 10 minute video.)
Gosh, it would be a shame if all his financial records got released without his consent. You know… like all the names and personal information of the Epstein victims.
Thank you. Glad to know I am not the only one that got triggered, lol.
Yep, when it’s all staged, you want your actors standing around on-stage not off-stage…
I literally choose all my books sight unseen from library website or online shop websites based solely on recommendations or prior author experiences. The cover art plays zero role in my decision to buy.
Weiner kaiju, lol…
But unlike Google’s version, Claude can accidentally regurgitate the entire text or passages from it, yes?
So it’s not really internal and this judge is an imbecile, correct?
(I know that previous “AI” engines have been tricked into returning the original paintings and faces of people that they had ingested, so I assume this is also a possibility for this “AI” too.)
That would be the dumbest thing he could possibly do to himself. Honestly I hope he is smarter than that because Putin would turn him upside down and shake him until every last nickel falls out of his pockets, and put it all into the war effort against the Ukraine.
Humorous rogue cyborgs aren’t super common, alas. The tongue-in-cheek humor of it reminds me of Stainless Steel Rat a bit, and occasionally Larry Niven’s stuff too. His Gil Hamilton character is pretty droll at times, and it comes through in some of his short stories about him. (For pure humor from Niven, try “The Flight of the Horse”.)
You might try Strata by Terry Pratchett, which is a bit in both camps? It’s a one-off, but a lot of fun. Can’t say it has anything at all to do with rogue cyborgs though.
I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.
I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.
Oh no. Anyway…
The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…
Yeah this seems like a weird use case for Mastodon to me too. Also, the entire point of Mastodon is that no one entity can control it all. Switching to BlueSky is basically just falling straight back into the trap where someone can buy it out and repurpose it as a disinformation machine again. I’m not saying ActivityPub is perfect, mind you. Just that it sucks less (for me) than the alternative.
That’s actually pretty cool to know. Thanks!
I feel like unless you bought an Incel Camino or a brand new Tesla like in the last year, you really shouldn’t be on the receiving end of quite so much hate, TBH. They were the car that finally got EVs off the ground as an acceptable alternative, so it’s a shame early adopters are possibly being lumped in with MAGA truck owners.
Aren’t these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide “both sides” coverage up until about a month before the election?
Ah yes, the “personal liberty” to just accumulate wealth without limits or taxation because that is a “free market”. Never mind Amazon drives on roads built with federal dollars—they are a job creator and everyone should lick their boots for that.
Could not agree more. Not only is it smartly written, but the writers respect the intelligence of the viewer and basically are like “Keep up, we have a lot of ground to cover here.”
