@MuseZack Tolkien’s books are like that for me. It takes a day or two to get used to the language, but once you’re in, it’s a great ride.

@theblaiirwitch That is a really amazing look.

@spaceghost It doesn't. It won't. We're stuck with this silicon diode bullshit until we invent cold fusion or some other nifty keen power source. Then maybe you could make a brain

@AbsUnitt731 @spaceghost Your mom wasn't.

@joelansdale The popcorn king? That should say All Hail The Pure Shitfire Wordsmith, and I do not understand the oversight.

@Cactuscali19912 Good night! I hope you're not mad anymore in the morning.

@titsandmarxism This is the real deep learning.

@Sonderisfon I have not only a monologue but multiple songs, pieces of dialogue from the scene I'm working on, five mental YouTube videos

@SpookyThiccGurl Look at these two precious floofs. The earliest cats that Egyptians revered were made with atoms that came straight from supernovas. I absolutely did not just make that up because it should be true

@titsandmarxism You are a literary hillbilly. Do you read the hipsters? Kerouac, Tom Wolfe, Ken Kesey? Ginsberg, incredible visual writer, no fucking clue what the poems were about. I'm mostly a pop fic guy now. Definitely wouldn't call my writing literary.

You are not creating Frankenstein’s monster. You are creating the greatest misallocation of capital in the history of mankind. Assigning literary metaphors to your overgrown computer program is adorable but it’s still just a bot.

What is anyone doing building new data centers in the age of drone warfare? Serious question. In general, computing should be moving to the edge. Better for everyone, and certainly better for national security.

Ben Affleck says AI is simply matrix multiplication, linear algebra and floating point calculations, and however convincingly it sounds like a person, it has nothing to do with thought, humanity or feeling

“Nor do I believe, and I think it’s important to draw the distinction between what AI does, which is simply predict the next token or the next word in a sentence, then add that word on, run it back to the machine, do a lot of computation and pick the next word."

"That is a very different thing than sentience or thought. And I think we need to be really clear about that because it can be convincingly, in an illusory way, sound like thought or like a person."

"But let’s be real clear. This is matrix multiplication. This is linear algebra. These are floating point calculations. It has nothing to do with thought, humanity, or feeling.”

@MadelaineLucyH You don’t look dead. Annoyed, perhaps

@Wolfgang1683 @Halloweenmcqn You’re a bot. Nothing’s going on that you could ever be involved in
