Fun fact, it’s not just there. That happens near most coastlines. It’s actually more prominent near BC/Washington/Alaska.

At the time, in Greece they thought of apes as monkeys without tails. They also had no reason to think those creatures were particularly bipedal. Or that there was any particular relation to humans. Aristotle was describing Baboons, which walk on all 4s. To Plato, a bird might be the only other creature that walked on two legs. It also has pink skin for what that’s worth.

It’s easy to forget that the foundation of knowledge we have is so incredibly vast it would be incomprehensible to the ancient Greeks. We learn in elementary school things that people wouldn’t work out for centuries.

Imagine telling Diogenes that dolphins are foxes that learned to swim. Or that the giant skulls they keep finding aren’t one eyed giants, but the skulls of ancient hairy elephants.

Plato was alive when Greek philosophers decided the earth was round, and it would be a few hundred years before somebody would make the first real calculation of its size.

I love brutalism. I’m also not a fan of the design of the library.

Brutalism kind of requires an environment. But it’s like a jagged tooth sticking out of a garden. Like a giant lawn rock. Lift it up and you’ll find the keys to the American dream. Locked away like some davinci code nonsense.

That’s the most engineer ass answer I’ve ever seen.

High Co2? Algae can solve that. How much… Well a vat should do, better make it two just in case.

“Why yes, I do keep vats of algae in my bedroom why do you ask?”

Holy shit you’re not kidding.

Did you uh… Mix anything with those beer, guy?

Like six shots of tequila?

Or cocaine?

Kinda depends on the generator. I saw one the other day that was of a guy in a bedroom on an oil rig. It had an HP Chromebook on the desk. As in I was able to reverse image search it to find the brand of computer it was. The entire image was AI generated. There were a few details off, a few weird things about the image that didn’t make sense on closer inspection but by in large, it looked like a regular old selfie.

Swamp monsters from the Swamp Planet find questions about their horrifying egg sacks to be very personal.

You need better hobbies my guy

I’m gonna take that guy’s advice and tag you as well

🤘🏻

Mostly feet.

The problem is, the models are really good at some things. We’ve been using these things since before chat gpt hit the market. It’s identified tumors, cured a dog of cancer evidently, and with adversarial training beat the AI that beat the chess master in a matter of hours.

This is one of those disruptive technologies that isn’t going back in the bottle. We’re stuck with this crap.

(Note: I was convinced the dog cancer vaccine thing was bullshit but there’s quite a bit of actual data, a fucking tech bro actually did it.)

A lot of people grew up being bullied, turned on a show that was supposed to appeal to them, only to be bullied again. 90% of the jokes are “hey look how fucking stupid these nerds are for liking nerd things.” The remaining 10% is sexist or ignoring Penny’s crippling alcoholism.

It was an attack on a culture of people, rather than the celebration of that culture it pretended to be. That’s why people hate it.

I don’t know what the hell happened to outlook’s search function with the update to 11, but I’m convinced it was actual sabotage.

Outlook insists that no one has ever sent me anything. If I search for an email from a specific person, that person doesn’t exist. Unless sometimes they do. The first three letters of their last name, out of order? Fine, can find them no problem unless you’re looking for when they sent you an attachment. Then no.

Copy and pasting their name in to the search bar? Who the fuck you talking about guy??

Looking for an email that has “and” in the subject line?

Here’s every email you have with the letter A in it. Hope this helps! By the way have you tried CLAUDE?!

I’ve said it when I know I’m next to some maga idiot and it’s we either don’t talk politics or SippyCup catches himself a felony
