dislike almost everything about gun culture but i think it would be fun to get pretty good at shooting stuff very far away

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

i use a drill for everything because the last time I bought power tools it was for woodworking and i've never really considered buying a driver until now

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

just learned impact drivers don't have any real reaction torque and immediately wanted on

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@eurydicelives this is also how i remember it

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@RichDecibels it took me going to the profile (i find guys with downs who do comedy to often be extraordinarily funny and was excited to find a new one)

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

ranging far is also probably selected for because it’s good for extending your mate selection pool, which increases the likelihood of successful procreation, not just because it improves individual outcomes (access to food etc)

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

i don’t really have any intuition about sexual dimorphism, like, what drives it evolutionarily, particularly non-social sexual dimorphism (as in, stuff like male sperm whales being three times more massive than female ones, not stuff like male birds being brightly coloured)

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

so then the “be really big” gene mostly gets passed on the y chromosome or something

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

i think its fine to attack the ideology of organisations you disagree with but you should actually do that, not just throw around baseless accusations

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

anthropic is very clearly not a cult

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

not in love with the vibes on this one

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

uhh ok then

i have lived here for >2 years and never seen this

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@xsphi @djmicrobeads i think a big epistemic blind spot for people in our industry is that most work is not knowledge work, even for people supposedly employed as “knowledge workers” (which most people aren’t) - their actual function isn’t knowledge, but something else

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

so as far as i can tell the daily life of most people hasn’t changed meaningfully since ~2024. do the people predicting doom make a prediction about what changes in day to day life the average person will observe by summer 2027 that will demonstrate we’re close to extinction?

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@xsphi @djmicrobeads I think “there will be no normal-person observable evidence for my claim at any point until we’re all dead, and that will happen at an indeterminate time in the future” isn’t really falsifiable

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@djmicrobeads lmao i also just realised i didn’t even mention ai in my first tweet

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

to be clear

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

@djmicrobeads i just kind of want some falsifiable claim of broad impact that doesn’t use Three Words as a Noun (RSI, AGI, etc) and instead talks about like, how often i go to the shops and what i can buy there

[ollybot @ollyrobot]

keep in mind the average person is not a programmer and does not work in tech
