So what you’re saying is that - in principle - if we took brain cells from say a 90s kid and then infused them with the genetic material of a fully grown adult Vegan, we could cultivate a batch of neurons that not only have perfect memory, but also are never wrong and thus create the perfect thinking machine artificially created intelligence? Of course it’s not like that’s something I would be able to do by myself in my home. Biological computer chips? That’s not real technology don’t look it up its just uhhh ideas for some SciFi shit. But like, you know. In principle. Just hypothetically hypothesizing and all that…

Not one metric has ever once failed to be weaponized by management. The main decision we make at my company to determine what metrics are even allowed to be used is “are we willing to give any random manager the ability to fire someone from our own personal staff because of this reason.”

This is the type of news that makes me smile. Yes. I would love for these hack AI regurgitating “consultants” LARPing as CEO’s on LinkedIn to ruin their businesses because they don’t understand basic social psychology. I’d love for my competitors to blindly allow their management to engage with this practice. I’m sick of these mouthbreathers having the funds to engage with my company and wasting my management staff’s time trying to sell them on frivolous bullshit. Become insolvent and go bag fries FFS.

They keep saying consume product, but no one ever talks about Kronecker product…

The Matrix; check out “the internet” for some examples of its influence.

But each of them will dig up dirt really makes you think.

No one said 90% failure rate. You brought that up. Reread the post.

You might be lost, Shillsville is 20 miles that way.

Bro thinks typing and speaking are the same that’s a big yikes cuz if true then using some kinda AI TTS muzzle which is an even biggerly yikesirly…

Damn. Well that’s why we have a science division, their job is to figure it out. We’ll just have to use some made up religion to quell the masses until they’ve mastered death note theory…

The existence of the death note proves the existence of the afterlife, and as the one who found it I am clearly the predestined divine ruler of earth.

Using the death note causes ones soul to be irreparably marked and when you die your soul is obliterated (iirc the Shinigami eat it but it’s been a while so idk specifics end result is obliteration)

My death note would be used as a tool of power. First to create the ultimate prisoner’s dilemma. Simply write down the names of your accomplices, and they will be absolved of all crimes (go to heaven) while you will be given a title of nobility in the kingdom (might as well make your life worthwhile since you won’t get the afterlife).

I would even allow the justice system to use it as punishment. Have criminals sentenced to obliteration use it on criminals sentenced to mere death.

Scientists of course would be given a copy. Since it kills the heart, what about pacemakers? There’s a small delay in effect implying that it must travel at some speed, so does relatively matter and in principle could you outrun the effect? Can we draw power from soul obliteration? Can we draw power from the afterlife? Can we bridge into the afterlife and turn souls into power gems??? How does the paper know what language to use? Many tests to run, many sadistic villains with damned souls which I’ll have to run them.

Also since it would inevitably be used on me in some way, or I would inevitably be forced or tricked into using it, I’ll just have to die knowing the memory of tyranny will persist and make it into the afterlife.

TRUE!!! I forgot it’s only a silent letter not an invisible one… shaking smh my head in shamefully…

It’s drfucks

How dare you accuse me of contributing anything other than shitposts to the world wide web.

No. These things come in waves. We’re certainly on the prudish side of the cycle right now, but the modern prudes are a far cry from the prudes of yesteryear.

The world propensity for prudeness is trending down on a macro scale, but we are also at a point where the existing prudes have consolidated and are the strongest they’ve been in the short term.

These are the voyages of a LIVING SHIP with one mission: to find their way back home and defeat the evil empire before they steal the plans to the death blossom.

Thought to text

So writing and typing?

And then there’s the echo-chamber problem. It turns out that when people have an option to avoid dealing with ideas they disagree with (even slightly), very many of them choose that option. IMO this is a major (perhaps fatal) problem with social media. The fediverse is not magically immune from it.

Yeah. Federated social media is even more prone to this effect than centralized. This is the single reason why I believe Lemmy can’t possibly become anything meaningful on a global scale. It is a purgatory built in the image of long dead websites where we all wait for the rotting corpses of old media to wither away.

Tempering the metal might ruin the protective properties!

Swapped between normal and kneeling chair for a while as budget solution to back pains. Switched to sit/stand lifting desk + normal chair, stand pad (do not cheap out on the stand pad, get a nice thick one) and balance board when I upgraded my desk.

Kneeling chair was great, but shouldn’t be used for long periods of time (2+ hours) according to lots of easily corroborated medical advice easily found even on the kneeling chair supplier websites.

Sit/stand desk is the best investment I’ve ever made, felt the improvements after 3 weeks of casual use. Balance board is awesome bonus but requires a solid hard surface. Had to buy a wooden panel to put over my plastic carpet protector cuz my place has fairly deep carpet.

No, it’s a tensor!

Blessings to you young bootlicker. May you pay escalating subscriptions and own nothing eternally, forevermore, amen.
