Then you get a colic and die.

Dude, this is some random-ass post on social media. People who want the deep cut can do it, people who are mildly interested can read a summary and everybody else just ignores it.

My very short summary: We hate losing something way more than we enjoy gaining something. That’s why governments prefer subsidies. They are perceived as gaining something, while taxes are perceived as losing something. They also talk about nudges versus shoves. Nudging people toward positive behavior works better, especially if you do it in a way that makes people feel like they have agency. But this makes it difficult to change behavior drastically (a shove), which Stewart argues is required with the challenges we’re facing because of climate change. Thaler replies that with the kind of people we have in power, allowing for drastic change will not yield the kind of change we need nor want.

I think that’s what the conversation boils down to, for all the people who hate watching a long video for what could’ve been some clean text.

Yes, this is what drives me crazy. These fascist fuckers literally wrote down what they were going to do and then started doing exactly that. How could we have known? A mystery, for sure.

Who is this Durham guy and why does it feel like 80% of tweets I see posted are his?

Do you even lid, bro?

Shows the time since the pill bottle was last opened.

I agree. I think that all AI companies need to crash and burn. But it’d be disingenuous to claim that what these models are doing is completely different than what humans are doing. Humans don’t pull stuff out of thin air. We are products of our upbringing and schooling. I say that, because I hate our current copyright laws with a burning passion and have done so long before LLMs showed up. It’s possible to hate copyright and AI companies.

Yeah, but… I recently watched a documentary about a bunch of deadly diseases and except for one spread by mice in the US, all the viruses used bats as hosts. So I think it’s understandable that some people feel ambiguous about bats.

One thing I think about regularly when seeing the ocean is that we’re all fine with swimming in a body of water that has dead people in it. All the oceans are connected and the probability that there is at least one dead person in it at any given time is extremely high if not outright 1. And yet I don’t think there are many people who won’t enter an ocean because there are dead people in it. Yet there won’t be many people who will willingly enter a small pool with a bloated, rotting body in it just to go for a swim. So somewhere between these two scenarios is the threshold where you’re fine with the dead body to water or space ratio.

You can always help the world to become a better place and go kill billionaires until you end up in prison where you get jacked and read books. I don’t see a single flaw with this plan.

When this whole thing with Lily Allen was a thing, where she got more from posting feet pic on OnlyFans than from Spotify, someone posted an article that said Spotify is paying out like 150k-200k per month just for her streams. And yet only a tiny fraction of that ends up with her. Music labels fucking suck.

Simba. This is CNN.

I have mild face blindness. Is this is all the same woman or are they different?

I love that song.

That’s very patriotic of you.

My taekwondo trainer is younger than my driver’s license. That kind of hurt.

We had coworkers from India over here, visiting for a conference. They asked how many kinds of mango we can buy here and it was at that moment that I realized there’s more than one kind of mango. Sure, it makes sense. There are many types of apple or pear. I just never thought about it, because there’s only ever one kind of mango at the store.
