Truly a utility that we have all been waiting for without even knowing it.

Oh man my friend is going to shit a (happy) brick if people actually involved with the ISS end up seeing this.

I let them know! They’re pretty tickled that it’s clearly given people a chuckle.

It’s a ridiculous app which makes it so funny, but it’s also kinda cool that it’s possible to bang out an app that actually streams the real time status of a fucking space station’s toilets in an afternoon. I mean what the hell

I was particularly fond of the naming:

Really is isn’t it? A friend made this and forced me to be an alpha tester, and I just had to share.

And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.

Current AI models aren’t going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. The current “static” neural network models just won’t cut it, we need something like spiking neural networks so the AI can be “on” all the time.

Actual AGI is probably still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.

Well, could be like Taiwan; never, ever underestimate the human capacity for fucking things up. If there’s one thing humans are exceptionally good at, it’s making the dumbest fucking decisions you can possibly make without being single-celled.

Who knows how the world would have turned out if things had gone in such a different direction.

We meatbags have to be the absolute worst role models for AIs

Fines levied by the EU can be pretty damn stiff though, so I doubt Bluesky can afford to just ignore the DSA

Oh it’s the rule 30 sea snail! Didn’t know they were super poisonous, huh

Current models point towards a max ~6°C anomaly for the pessimistic (and, imo, most probable) scenarios where we continue acting as we are now.

I feel we’re dealing with some sort of Trolley Problem scenario here

Nah, just making a silly joke about guns usually not bringing things alive

Surprisingly enough it’s an oven for toasting things.

They’re not super common outside North America as far as I can tell, or at least I don’t think I’ve ever seen them here in Yurop (well except in like cafés etc. of course). Don’t really see the point, I can just use my oven to toast things

I’m unaware of an ammunition type that can bring things to life

Yeah the article mentioned that at some point. It still seems a bit petty to geofence it, instead of just calling it something else

Why do people still think this is simply a boomer problem? After the recent election even the US is waking up to the fact that Gen Z (and younger) generations are much more conservative than Millennials.

This is not a generational issue, the problem is not age. The problem is conservatism.

Why is a feature like that geofenced in the first place?

In the future, computers will do all our art and entertainment for us so we can concentrate on making rich people more money. Yay!

Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory
