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…
Dammit I thought I was being clever. Guess I’m just slow.


So here’s going to be an unpopular opinion. First let me preface this with I think hurting children is one of the worst things you can do. But is drawing a naked child illegal? Is a video game with a naked child 3d model illegal? Where is the line? Is it weird? Hell fucking yes. Is it wrong? I also believe yes. But it’s not an actual child. The real question should be, how did the AI know how to create those images? Because it was trained on actual child porn. And how this AI was trained should really be the crime. Because it ingested shit-tons of actual CSAM.


Here’s the thing, AI isn’t going away. Even when the bubble bursts, which it will, it’s a useful tool that can do useful things. I also don’t think in its current form it’s as useful or “necessary“ as the major tech bros want us to believe. I’d much prefer smaller models running on my hardware than just being controlled by a handful of those tech bros. But NVidia buying one of the major players in the local AI scene worries the shit out of me.
But AI is just a tool. It’s not good or evil. I can use a hammer to build a house or bash someone’s skull in. It’s not the tools fault either way.


Yeah I think the growth is going to be in these little models that think big. Like the Qwen3.8-flash idea. Using little tricks to make a small model perform better than it should. Localized AI is going to scale much better than being dependent on giant resource hogging DCs. And god forbid someone figure out how to chain these things together in some sort of peer to peer network utilizing all that processor time that goes unused throughout the day, like some sort of AI@home setup. Pretty sure that’s how Skynet starts.


Yeah they are definitely pulling a VMWare. Only big customers matter.
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.
