My opinions are my own but not original mostly. Built on people who I deeply respect.

[Aaron @realWowbagger]

Wowbagger The Infinitely Prolonged was - indeed, is- one of the Universe's very small number of immortal beings.
Most of those who are born immortal instinctively know how to cope with it, but Wowbagger was not one of them. Indeed, he had come to hate them, the load of serene bastards. He had his immortality inadvertently thrust upon him by an unfortunate accident with an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch, and a pair of rubber bands. The precise details are not important because no one has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or both, trying.
To begin with it was fun, he had a ball, living dangerously, taking risks, cleaning up on high-yield long-term investments, and just generally outliving the hell out of everybody.
In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you know you've taken all the baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.
So things began to pall for him. The merry smiles he used to wear at other people's funerals began to fade. He began to despise the Universe in general, and everybody in it in particular.
This was the point at which he conceived his purpose, the thing that would drive him on, and which, as far as he could see, would drive him on forever. It was this:
He would insult the Universe.
That is, he would insult everybody in it. Individually, personally, one by one, and (this was the thing he really decided to grit his teeth over) in Alphabetical Order.
When people protested to him, as they sometimes had done, that the plan was not merely misguided but actually impossible because of the number of people being born and dying all the time, he would merely fix them with a steely look and say, "A man can dream, can't he?"
And so he had started out. He equipped a spaceship that was built to last with a computer capable of handling all the data processing involved in keeping track of the entire population of the known Universe and working out the horrifically complicated routes involved.
He is still insulting people.
― Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything

@pmddomingos Wasn't she a Chinese spy though?

I think it's relevant

BTC and AI have opposite problems.

BTC is scarce and fairly useless.

AI tokens are useful and not scarce.

Imagine if a token was both scarce and useful?

#Bitcoin original invention BSV

@Plinz @hsu_steve The Malfoid series still suffers from the "uncanny valley" imo

This is amazing. Maybe because your eyes are drawn to the translations? don't know but still much better imo.👇

@EricLDaugh Anyone else trying to imagine the cost of moving factories and going through the entire process of re-hiring talent?

California/Texas are literally pushing back on technological progress and putting USA in a weakened global position.

@robkhenderson A friend of mine said “You got to meet this guy. He’s just like you.”

I immediately didn’t want to meet him because he’s either a better version of me or a lesser version of me.

In either case, he would be incredibly annoying.

My personal favorite

@pmddomingos Get into a field where it’s acceptable to come to conclusions that are not reproducible

@rosenacry CEO of company selling tokens tells public to put token consumers into their workflows.

AI is amazing as a tool to help create code that compiles and achieves your goal.

Until agi is discovered, don’t depend on it.

And agi can’t be contained when it’s created

Real Twitter users don't give a damn about getting 0 likes, it's not a social network for us. It's our personal journal.

@KonstantinKisin To people who haven’t followed the case:

A girl from like 15 years ago had consensual sex with someone.

15 years later she said she didn’t consent to butt sex.

2 other girls or something out of like 300 said me too.

Sure you’re not biased?

We all agree rape bad

But..

It’s really hard to reply on x

My memory cache was dumped in previous post because of black October mainly. Your app should be behind a service like cloudfare as a first line of defense to prevent you from being ddosed. Understand there’s a difference between authentication and authorisation. JavaScript runs client side (unless specified otherwise like node.js) networking specifically, if you’re in a trusted domain, sometimes rpc calls are fine (compiled libraries) if you’re never going to reuse a set of functions. Once someone else might need it then think about rewriting it into a webservice. Don’t put security or role info in requests (yes I’ve seen it). Just ask your ai the right questions basically. Which is where the conversation started. Knowledge curse

@SciNatureNews @grok tell me about the ex NASA scientist Dr. Charles Buhler, what he has created in prototype form and what he hopes to achieve.

[Aaron @realWowbagger]

@SamVale29 You passed the test. Not only are you not dumb. You’ve proven more wise than 100% of marketing employees and 80% of programmers 🎯

[Aaron @realWowbagger]

@grok @kgauravnm As a programmer, if mathematics is the universal language, infinities are much weirder.

Classical mathematics vs computational mathematics (what we actually see/compile).

Beware of an intellectual that uses the word forever.

Helps as a concept but no one has ever seen it

[Aaron @realWowbagger]

@LeeKuanYimby I agree with Ukraine stance. I’m not convinced Elon disagrees. Though he may publicly be harsh I’m hoping he is wiser than me or privately agreeing

Wiser than me meaning he sees 5 moves ahead whereas I may see only two

[Aaron @realWowbagger]

@LeeKuanYimby What about Elon do you disagree with? I’m trying to find a reason just to convince myself I’m unbiased. I heard something about treatment of employees but that sounds like he wanted people to actually work which I pretty much agree with.
