Yup, this is on him. Ignoring the warning signs for all those years, especially this last half year, has come back to haunt him.

Some are renting, some are under heavy debt for a run-down old house they are stressing out over as they are legally obliged to fix it up to certain standards within a set period of time (usually 5 years).

This to me seems just a setup to have a good excuse later on when implementing Draconian surveillance measures.

Use a notebook to write down TODOs. This will get them out of your head. You’ll be at ease knowing they are easily retrievable whenever you have some time for them.

If they need to be done at a particular time, note them down in a calendar (and set up reminders).

It’s been quite a while, over 20 years, but Dog Eat Dog at a local venue was a blast. They brought a huuuuge bottle of martini and went absolutely wild. One of the best, funnest shows I ever attended.

Fair point, no argument here! Can’t wait for it all to implode, I’ve got a shopping list ready for when it does :)

You are just stuck choosing between different flavors of shit

Or self-hosting your shit. Or at least find a friend who does…

The evolution of menopause and the mathematical impossibility of population growth are two gaping holes in the hypothesis that Paleolithic humans died at 25. Available data from modern hunter-gatherer societies also contradict the hypothesis that prehistoric humans all died very young: members of these groups who live to reach puberty have life expectancies between 60 and 70 years.

Back in the day Morrowind on a Twilight disc. I’m not into fantasy at all, but that game took me for a spin that lasted many years.

The Savage Empire, a game I played a lot as a kid.

On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life.

So that’s what OpenAI will now do for them…

Anthropic had not argued that such weapons should not exist. To the contrary, the company had offered to work directly with the Pentagon to improve their reliability.

…

this impasse over autonomous weapons could be resolved if the Pentagon would simply promise to keep the company’s AI in the cloud, and out of the weapons themselves.

djeez… Anthropic does not come off as nice as before

• Ramones - Ramones (1976)
• The Stooges - The Stooges (1969)

Agreed! As a doom metal and stoner rock fan, I’m hard-pressed not to name a band from those genres not influenced by the album or the band.

Great suggestions, although personally I would have picked Electric Ladyland for Jimi, as that feels more as a well-rounded concept album showcasing his musical skills better. If only he hadn’t died so soon, Band of Gypsys gave him the freedom to really do what he wanted.

Perfect. Right in the center of the idiots’ Venn diagram.

Maybe we’re mature enough to have standalone computers…

Once we find a way to make them without child labour, sure.

Time for some V For Vendetta me thinks.

Europe is. More lobbyists than MEPs + staff in Brussels, by a factor of 3 to 1.
