  • How will you remember to watch it if you have dementia? Your odds of ever getting dementia are less than 50% anyway, and if you watch it right now and get dementia you probably won't remember watching it. Treat yoself and just watch it.

  • At 70 I find Phineas & Ferb entertaining.

  • Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

    Jump

  • Accused???

    Well alrighty then, I hereby accuse the operators of donaldjtrump.com of piracy! Anybody else notice any piratical activity? Foxnews.com seems pretty fishy.

  • They maybe did...

  • It's a two-sided coin. As a straight guy, watching Lucy Lawless in the Xena costume made me more hetero than ever.

  • Study Finds Water Isn't the Best Drink for Hydration

    Jump

  • Thing is, why does it matter if something exists that hydrates you better than water? Water is abundant and practically free - at least orders of magnitude more free than any marginally better substitute. You don't need a precise and refined strategic hydration strategy. When you get thirsty just drink some water, you'll be fine.

    edit: yes, this does not cover edge cases like illness or working under very hot conditions

  • To many people back then, a prism turning a sumbeam into a spray of colors must have seemed like actual magic happening right before their eyes.

  • The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists.

    Jump

  • Not saying it's unreasonable to err on the side of caution in opposing anything Trump does, but the move to end birthright citizenship is aimed at the automatic citizenship granted to anyone born on US soil, and anyone born anywhere with at least one American parent. The goal is to suppress non-white voting by invalidating citizenships for people MAGA considers "foreigners". Most Americans were born in America to American-born parents, and have nothing to worry about unless MAGA tries to redefine citizenship at the Constitution level.

  • I see nothing wrong with making sure people who vote are citizens, what I object to is kicking actual citizens off the voting roles because they're not Republicans.

  • Against AI: An Open Letter From Writers to Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Macmillan, and all other publishers of America

  • I see this as the 2025 equivalent of the entertainment industry's collective backlash against Napster back in the day. The issue will probably be decided by courts and legislatures, as before, and that legal decision will be transmuted into fierce morality, as before. The major difference is that in 1999 the legal combatants were a whole industry vs a handful of software developers and basically Lawrence Lessig, whereas with AI they're all corporations with tons of money at stake. So the outcome could easily be very different this time, and our crowdsourced moral standards could follow suit.

  • Are you a law-abiding citizen?

    Jump

  • Good question, and I dunno, but I wouldn't think an invitee has the power to invite others. Seems kind of dodgy.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

  • No dude I'm not under that impression, and I'm not going to take an quiz from you to prove I understand how LLMs work. I'm fine with you not agreeing with me.

  • I doubt that this would affect vampires at all. The rule is that they can't enter your house without being invited, not that they have to move if you build a house around them.

  • Police don't typically execute search warrants alone. If I knew that specific policeman was a vampire I would address his partner(s) individually and invite them in, but I would not invite the vampire. Explaining to them why he was staying outside would be his problem.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

    Jump

  • No, I didn't start by predicting a series of words, I already had thoughts on the subject, which existed completely outside of this thread. By the way, I've been working on a scenario for my D&D campaign where there's an evil queen who rules a murky empire to the East. There's a race of uber-intelligent ogres her mages created, who then revolted. She managed to exile the ogres to a small valley once they reached a sort of power stalemate. She made a treaty with them whereby she leaves them alone and they stay in their little valley and don't oppose her, or aid anyone who opposes her. I figured somehow these ogres, who are generally known as "Bane Ogres" because of an offhand comment the queen once made about them being the bane of her existence - would convey information to the player characters about a key to her destruction, but because of their treaty they have to do it without actually doing it. Not sure how to work that yet. Anyway, the point of this is that the completely out-of-context information I just gave you is in no way related to what we were talking about and wasn't inspired by constructing a series of relevant words like you're proposing. I also enjoy designing and printing 3d objects and programming little circuit thingys called ESP32 to do home automation. I didn't get interested in that because of this thread, and I can't imagine how a LLM-like mental process would prompt me to tell you about it, or why I would think you would be interested in knowing anything about my hobbies. Anyway, nice talking to you. Cute theory you got there about brain function tho, I can tell you've know people inside out.
