Cyber dude and amateur philosopher. I'm okay if you don't like my thoughts or beliefs.

@rekdt I’m not one to say, I told you so, but…

Count down to Anthropic apocalypse is a matter of days or maybe a week or two.

@0xM0rtal @WholesomeMeme Even the Universe used to drink like that, such a cute baby universe.

@jeremiahg Nothing more annoying, well I'm being dramatic, than about to land while finishing the show/movie and being interrupted by flight staff advertising the credit cards.

@HackingDave @UK_Daniel_Card Yeah, give us time to get more money, infrastructure, and cleanup our processes! They are “rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell”.

[Steve McGregory @stevemcgregory]

Agreed 100 times and have said so for a while now. They are a marketing driven, money first, FUD workshop with problems throughout. Try to open a problem with them, weeks will go by before you get a lame response. They don’t care about you or me as customers. The model and their security have big weaknesses, and I’d report it to them if I thought they would listen; but they don’t. The CEO is making stupid and reckless claims. I predict a great mishap from them very soon, all signs point towards it.

@HackingDave Ignore the above, I just realized the other thing, steering wheel is on the passenger side!

[Steve McGregory @stevemcgregory]

@HackingDave Glad I rented a very small vehicle for our upcoming Ireland trip. I’d gone in straight and exited via hatch. I assume you squeezed out through the passenger side?

@BoLoudon I want to know how and why your stupid tweet showed up as a notification for me? I don’t know you or follow you, but this made it onto my X notifications!

I lean towards and relate to 1 and 11, aligning with what the physical world experiences. Math may say something different, but then again, math is created by humans.

11 different interpretations of Quantum mechanics explained in brief ✍️

1. Copenhagen Interpretation: The "standard" interpretation where quantum systems exist in superpositions until measured, at which point they "collapse" to a definite state.

2. Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI): Every quantum event spawns countless parallel universes, with each possible outcome actually occurring in a different universe.

3. De Broglie-Bohm (Pilot Wave) Theory: Quantum systems are guided by "pilot waves" that determine their behavior, implying that particles have definite positions at all times.

4. Objective Collapse Theories: Quantum systems spontaneously collapse to definite states over time, without requiring a measurement.

5. Quantum Bayesianism (QBism): Quantum states are subjective beliefs about the outcomes of experiments, emphasizing a Bayesian approach to probability.

6. Relational Quantum Mechanics: The properties of a quantum system are relative to the observer and do not exist absolutely.

7. Transactional Interpretation: Quantum events involve a time-symmetric exchange of "offer waves" and "confirmation waves" between source and detector.

8. Ensemble Interpretation: Quantum mechanics only applies to ensembles of systems, not individual systems, emphasizing statistical outcomes.

9. Consistent Histories: Focuses on establishing a consistent framework to discuss sequences or "histories" of quantum events over time.

10. Quantum Logic: Proposes a modification of classical logic to account for quantum phenomena.

11. Participatory Anthropic Principle (PAP): Observers play a role in bringing the universe into existence through quantum processes.

None of these interpretations alter the core mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, but they provide different perspectives on what's "really" happening beneath the calculations. The debate over which interpretation, if any, correctly describes nature is ongoing and remains one of the central philosophical questions in the foundations of quantum theory.

@McGrewSecurity I wish I had not started reading that post..

We never actually own property, the government owns and leases to us until someone else leases it.

@gothburz @TheEconomist The exterior lighting on my house has been automated for about 10 years. The garage lights were not on last evening and my wife asked me how to turn them on. "The light switch, my dear."

@JBONAMASSA Tough choice between 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. I think 50’s, then the 70’s, and then 60’s. 50’s was hardcore transition from prior decades and music. Same for 70’s, eg. punk and disco mix brought us the 80’s which was very awesome.

I can 100% agree with the findings and practices being used. I’ve only been using AI to help code for about a year now and I have experienced all the fears. My practice today is highly controlled and managed by specific strategies to maintain that control. I still get burned here and there, about a 50/50 split between my fault and the AI ignoring my specific instructions.

@war24182236 I've been in that area twice this year, both times in March. and have seen a couple of people in this "shape". It's a very sad sight to see anyone in this vegetative mode. This drug needs to be vanquished from earth.

Is piracy not theft? I treat theft the same as murder. If you’re advocating for theft, you’re far from a justified stance. It seems like you’re honing in on IP piracy, and fighting protective measures which I would agree are being abused by powerful structures that have no creativity other than their money and ability to write contracts limiting others from benefiting from the IP they “own”.

Also, I’ll admit that I didn’t read all of your text as I felt I had the picture about halfway through it.

I’m a creative person, a bit talented, and able to produce novel works. I don’t necessarily want others not to benefit from my work, but at the same time I’m not a force of nature and I don’t have the necessary resources to put it to work for myself without concern of a large organization taking it and turning it into their profit. I need some protection from them and people who are not as capable as me. How do you propose it work?

[Steve McGregory @stevemcgregory]

@anton_chuvakin @UK_Daniel_Card I did admit that I’m a bit grumpy right now.

[Steve McGregory @stevemcgregory]

@anton_chuvakin @UK_Daniel_Card My bad, I attacked an innocent bystander…
