Yeah this is the part about all this AGI talk and AI going rogue, it requires a prompt. It responds to an input. These agentic systems have powerful tools that can do other things then spit out text but it’s always responding to a prompt. It may be in a loop responding to its own prompt but it’s still a prompt. And what it spits out is never really anything new. It’s some derivation of what it’s ingested. Actual human intelligence works differently. We do come up with new ideas, new thoughts. So I’ve often thought these LLMs are a dead end to AGI.

I’m assuming this is daisy chained. In a power strip there are not cables between the plugs that can be unplugged. Nor are there switches on each individual plug that can be accidentally flipped off. Any extra component is a failure mode. If it gets unplugged it loses power just the same as any failure. Now don’t get me wrong, I think this design is clean, expandable, and offers some neat features over a plain power strip, but to suggest there aren’t extra risks associated with this design is a bit short sighted.

I think stronger language might be called for here. 🤔

umm… what?

yeah… and that….

That would really be 4d chess. I’m not sure they are that smart.

I’m going to propose an alternative theory. I think the real reason is because they are childish, immature trolls and revel in causing other people’s misery. Although these two theories are not mutually exclusive.

I totally believe there is someone for everyone. But given the amount of people around you and the number of combinations there is a very distinct possibility you may never meet them. It’s basically a math problem. Well computer science (and possibly economics… can’t remember), lookup the stable matching problem if you really wanna nerd out.

I’m sorry you have run into that. I can’t help that some people are just racist assholes but I understand how that could make it difficult. My entire life has pretty much been in academia so I don’t really see that side of people very often. I guess the more educated someone is the less racist they tend to be.

I consider myself very lucky in that I have quite a few friends. Some for as long as 35+ years. But the one trick that I have found to making friends is pretty simple… well its at least worked for me… just be interested in whatever they are interested in. I mean don’t be someone you’re not, but just finding their passions worthy of discussion almost always gets my foot in the door. Eventually, unless there are just a narcisstic asshole, it will be recriprocatedI. If they are that selfish and just use you, you really don’t want them for a friend anyways.

Apparently I don’t have enough tattoos to use this phone

Well yeah of course. Lots of people may not like the real you. You just need to find one. Well unless she’s a cheating bitch and then you need two. Er… I mean … never mind. 😂

Yeah me neither.

I was referring to all the YouTube stuff recently from folks I normally trust. Now I’m starting to question it.

Moral of the story: be yourself not something you think somebody wants.

I learned that lesson a long time ago.

All of this Omarchy stuff seems very astroturfed.

Wow. Tech and a dad joke joke.

👏😂

Nobody is mentioning Project UFO. I saw it as a kid.

Of course the intro I remember looked more like: https://youtu.be/yVVADz0Afss?is=oioZcaQj_SkelcaB

I also thought it was called Project Bluebook

Oh and this really bad Christmas based alien show that nobody bit me remembers: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182015/

To me the graphics always look fine. The lighting might be slightly off but what really takes me out of it quick is the physics. When things don’t move right it’s off putting. Like the gravity is weird or the biomechanics are just wonky. Perfect example was some of the earlier spider-man movies. The web swinging especially. It just always looked off.

I don’t understand all the hype for Omarchy. It’s not really that groundbreaking or awesome.

What should really be the case is that the ring doorbell has a contact switch that works like a regular doorbell. When the doorbell is pressed it triggers the exact same thing a plain old doorbell used to do. Now all the other electronic and cloud functions are neat features and if they go down it’s no big deal.

Might it have something to with costing upwards of 6k a month to LEASE one? If pizza guys are making that much I’m gonna get me a part time job.

I hope they get inundated with “reports” of an incorrect name. I mean they’ll ignore them but still…
