What movie should I watch tonight?

Marlowe or Jesus Revolution?

Consider an AI that generates hot anime girls, but over time swaps in more catgirls, then more detailed catgirls until it has groomed the user into a furry.

@deprecated_ii me when I heard there's a new _Spice and Wolf_ anime project in the works.

@niplav who owns it now?

@amerika "Diversity" is the officially approved reason that allows you to be racist. (But only in one direction.)

Do we have any idea how many TPUs there are?

(TPU is the supercomputer/cluster needed to train a modern AI.)

The only people who use the term "reverse racism" are the people who claim it's impossible.

Using the term is a tell that you're not speaking to people who are concerned about racism against white people; you're just talking _about_ them.

Oh man, I can't wait until some leftwing b-lister is revealed to have a history of posting on 4chan. That'll be an exciting day.

@phryk word on the street is that they just copied the Java Date class.

Eventually, there will be a successful business, but the right bet is always: not this one.

(This thread is not really about businesses.)

Most businesses fail.

The right guess is that a promising new business will fail.

To make a better guess than that, you'd need to get into the details.

Of course, the people starting businesses know the most about the details and they're still overconfident.

@niplav I hear LLMs are the future of search, but somehow I doubt they will help with this case.

Stuxnet, but for TPUs.

A substack is just a sparkling blog.

(Unless you are both famous and good enough that people will pay for your blog posts, I guess.)

Nerds: the government should use prediction markets to decide on policy.

Virginia: Hold my beer.
