Hiii (sorry this is late, I missed a lot today and just catching up!)
“Huddy this is not it” was my exact feelings about that video…
We’ve seen Hudson interact with his known friends with more emotion. He’s a masterclass in watching visible emotions and he doesn’t hide his reaction to anything he encounters… which is why that video of him interacting with her seemed insanely like “hey you good? It will be ok” and then he bounced ✌️
Bruh! Girlfriend, best friend, beard, your cab driver to the Oscar’s… whoever the hell she is to you, don’t leave her alone! She looked clearly uncomfortable to be there and I cannot imagine for the life of me why you wanna drag her to something you didn’t even stay more than 30 mins for… also why leave her behind? I have MANY questions and they will NEVER be answered anon 😭

Why are there so many creepy men between the ages of 25 and 39 on this app? And hot take why are girls interacting with them??? If girls didn’t interact with them and give them what they want, they probably wouldn’t be there.
Answer
From what we see, Garlan is socially perceptive (noticing Sansa’s relief at not having to marry Joffrey as well as her interest in Loras), understands less glamorous military tactics (when he compliments Tyrion’s chain and wildfire preventing Stannis’ men from crossing the River and the mountain clansmen slaying his scouts), is a great warrior/frontline commander (able to duel 3 men at once, leads the Tyrell vanguard and slays Guyard Morrigen in single combat, can raise men for an army quickly) and kind even when it doesn’t fit his family’s goals (comforting Sansa at her wedding, warning/defending Tyrion against Joffrey’s cruelty at Margaery’s wedding; he must have a hell of a poker face if he was in on the plot to poison Joffrey). He sounds like he’d make an excellent lord, being both socially and militarily adept with a good heart; however, being an able-bodied, charismatic, kind, and intelligent lord in this series probably means he’s going to die so the more flawed protagonists have to step up.

I think space based AI data centers deserve an award in the dumbest ideas ever contest. Defying the laws of physics and being wasteful and impractical all just really make a strong case for being a contender for the dumbest recent technology idea. It is hard to imagine how even with extensive innovations you would ever achieve anything resembling a sustainable data center in space—especially given the inefficient cooling systems required.

I have only two questions:
1. How has posting LLM slop become the new influencer flex?
2. If LLM slop is the new flex; can we ban all influencers who do it from the internet?

Not AGI Touted by People Who Don’t Understand
I appreciate how the definition of AGI has been reduced down to be almost meaningless here. OpenAI likes to do that. They want to make sure that their statistical chatbots might be able to be defined as AGI someday—doesn’t matter that AGI doesn’t really mean general intelligence in their definition.
Also, how is that linked Git project AGI? I can’t sleep because I am so shocked by how dumb this definition of AGI is.
I appreciate how this guy thinks counting goes 1,2,5,3,4.
“Level 3: Agents: Systems that can act autonomously on behalf of a user over extended periods, making decisions without constant oversight.”
To say we have reached level 3 is pretty generous. LLMs mess up a lot. If you like having your stuff broken I guess we have. To say that LLMs are reliable for this application is just a woefully silly thing to say.
Honestly given that LLMs don’t actually reason I don’t think we have reached level 2. Again boosters see what the LLM slop salesmen tell them to see. To reason you need actual concepts and the ability to symbolicate. LLMs can’t do either since they operate at an only a semantic level.
“Level 4: Innovators: AI that can aid in invention and generate new, original ideas or solutions.”
We aren’t even in the neighborhood of this. Remember this author thinks he saw AGI. I ask how can something innovative arrive from the collection of the most likely words? If I take the average of the average how will that end up being extraordinarily? This is just typical LLM hype slop trotted out by the boosters who don’t understand what the hell is going on.
An LLM has never done better than to plagiarize the work of a human or to plagiarize the work of another bot that plagiarized a human. This is just such anti intellectual nonsense to think that an LLM can innovate.
For anyone concerned—no AGI isn’t here. This guy talking about it has mistaken stupid for smart and truth for obvious lies.

Leido El juicio final de Carl.
Mantiene el ritmo comico/aventurero del primer libro, pero me lo he devorado mas rapido. Tambien porque era mas corto XD.
El inicio con el cambio de clase y la mision del circo es lo que mas me ha gustado.
La parte final con la mision de infiltracion y la bomba diria que es lo que menos me gusto, pero tambien ha estado bien.
El epilogo no me gusto XD. Pero supongo que sera clave para futuros libros…
Lo gracioso es que leyendo el libro pense que seria trilogia porque en los libros salen 3 calaveras que se van encendiendo… Pero viendo que termina en el piso 3 de 18, algo no me cuadraba y buscando descubri que eran 7/8 XD.

Here’s the news from Iran – Donald Trump is making America lose wars again
Humiliating failure now looms, as symbolically damaging to US global standing and national self-esteem as Afghanistan or Iraq
Donald Trump menaces the world. He’s global public enemy number one. He’s steadily losing the illegal war with Iran he started but cannot stop. His violence-addicted Israeli sidekick, Benjamin Netanyahu, is terrorising Lebanon. And ordinary people everywhere, their security threatened, face a huge economic bill for his reckless folly.
Add Trump’s war-making to his daily debasing of democracy, appeasing of Russia, punitive tariffs, climate crisis denial and flouting of international law, and it’s clear this White House travesty has gone on long enough. Americans must put their house in order and act decisively to restrain someone who endangers us all.
Trump is a man without a plan. He hasn’t the foggiest what to do next in Iran, deluding himself that he is in control of events. The more the US and Israel batter Tehran and other cities, the more defiant is the odious, unvanquished Islamic regime. US regional bases and Gulf Arab partners are sustaining significant damage from retaliatory strikes.
Iran has succeeded in closing (and is now reportedly mining) the strait of Hormuz, which Trump, astonishingly, failed to defend. Rising oil and gas prices are driving a global energy shock that harms international trade, fuels inflation and creates food and medicine shortages. Poorer countries will suffer most. But few will escape the Trump plague. He’s the new Covid.
Netanyahu’s worst instincts have free rein as Trump flounders. Unceasing, disproportionate Israeli air attacks are hitting Iranian homes, utilities, banks, cultural heritage sites and mosques. The attacks are said to be counterproductively rallying nationalist support for the regime.
In Lebanon, it’s the same criminal story: civilians killed, hundreds of thousands of people displaced, destruction, occupation – all supposedly necessary to smash Hezbollah terror. But this is something worse: it’s state terror. Compare it with unchecked Israeli settler depredations in the West Bank. The “greater Israel” project advances on all fronts, olive grove by uprooted olive grove, village by depopulated village.
Taking fright as markets tumbled, Trump half-tried to declare victory last week, but even he couldn’t sustain so big a lie. At least George W Bush had the courage of his (foolish) convictions in Iraq in 2003. Bush knew only a land invasion would achieve his aims. Trump lacks the balls for that. In Iran, he sought swift, painless victory from the air.
What he – and the world – have got instead is, potentially, another forever war. The regime will keep fighting, increasingly by asymmetric means; there can be no popular uprising while this continues. Israel wants to make Iran and Lebanon like Gaza: permanent aerial free-fire zones. And thanks to Trump, the US is pig in the middle.
Trump and his Bible-thumping Pentagon mouthpiece, Pete Hegseth, would prefer to declare “mission accomplished” sooner rather than later. It’s undeniable Iran’s military capabilities have been severely degraded, however this will not end well for Washington.
Humiliating failure looms, prospectively as symbolically damaging to US global standing and national self-esteem as Afghanistan or Iraq. Body bags are coming home. And the war’s financial cost is running at more than $11bn a week. Midterm election voters, watching prices rise, will not easily forgive its careless architect. Donald J Trump: making America lose again.
The central issue of Iran’s suspect nuclear intentions remains unresolved. Its facilities have been “obliterated” not once but twice. Yet it retains a hidden stockpile of highly enriched uranium, plus scientific knowhow that cannot be bombed away. This stockpile might have been peacefully surrendered or diluted, had Trump not torpedoed negotiations.
Some hardliners want to copy North Korea and build nukes to ensure regime survival. To date, Iran has not taken that final step, blocked by a fatwa from the then supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. Now he’s been assassinated, that may quickly change. If Iran does finally go nuclear, it could be Trump’s and Netanyahu’s doing.
The Iranian missile and drone threat is diminished but far from eliminated, as Tehran’s continuing strikes show. Pentagon boasting about “permanently” destroying Iran’s offensive capabilities is plain silly. The US is taking hits, and suffering casualties, at military bases across the Gulf as Iran learns how to exploit defensive vulnerabilities. Tehran is also holding proxy militias in reserve.
Hegseth’s ranting about “barbarians” and “savages” says more about him and his boss than his enemies. It seems the “secretary of war” may have had some traumatic experiences while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, where many US and UK soldiers were killed by improvised explosive devices (IEDs). In contrast, draft-dodger Trump probably thinks an IED is a contraceptive device.
The coming US defeat is moral and legal, too. Trump’s lying efforts to shift blame for the killing of more than 100 schoolgirls in a US Tomahawk missile strike in Minab on 28 February are utterly contemptible. Deliberate or not, Minab was a war crime for which those responsible must be held accountable.
In this context, it’s significant that Trump went to war without necessary congressional authority, flouts the Geneva conventions and ignores international law. US troops observe no rules of engagement. Ethically challenged Hegseth claims they can do whatever they want, with impunity. No, they cannot.
Trump’s “little excursion” will have big geopolitical consequences. Regime change, which he cruelly promised protesters, is slipping off the US agenda. It was always unrealistic to suppose it could be imposed from above. For his part, Netanyahu still hopes for regime collapse, not least because it may boost his re-election chances. He will want to keep on bombing Iran and Lebanon (and Gaza) when it suits him, regardless of whether Trump proclaims an end to the war.
Allies including Britain are dismayed and alienated by Trump’s arrogant refusal to consult and fatal lack of strategic planning, exemplified by his strait of Hormuz fiasco. He’s irresponsibly escalating the war, saying he is bombing Iran’s Kharg Island oil terminal “just for fun” – which could further drive up global prices. Simultaneously, he’s asking those same allies to get directly involved by sending warships to his rescue in the strait. Unsurprisingly, there are no takers so far. Meanwhile, Russia – “temporarily” released from US oil sanctions to Ukraine’s great detriment – and China are profiting from Trump’s bellicose bungling and disdain for global opinion.
If there is any justice left in the world, Trump’s Republicans will be punished in November’s elections. But that’s the very least that should happen. US and Israeli leaders should face prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity in national and international courts. Britain and other adversely affected states should demand the US pay compensation. Iran and Lebanon should receive reparations. And Trump should be impeached in Congress for his many gross abuses of power.
People may say this will never happen. But the point is, it should – and must. This is the universal standard to which even the most powerful leaders must be held, or else all is lost. Trump has almost three years left in charge, what else might he do if allowed to rampage on unrestrained?
Failing, flailing Trump poses a clear and present danger to the US and the world. Take him down.

I think fans have been weaponizing the Sonic philosophy over time. I’ve seen a slowly growing number of comments in various places which stress that Sonic is all about living in the present, and to enjoy what we have in the moment.
This is a nice, thoughtful sentiment that I can vibe with in theory, but with the way it’s used in context, it’s clearly a means of dismissing criticism towards sacred cows, given how common it is for them to turn around and say how glad they are that we’re not in the 2010s era anymore.

About God and His Angels
For Kiddo.
In January I began talking about angels and God. It seems I’ve found a guardian angel who is meant to be a soulmate. It is a light in my life, a spirit that appeared out of nowhere and has now encompassed my being.
Rarely in life, at least in my life, has such a thing occured. Maybe it does occur in other people’s lives more often. In some people’s lives perhaps it occurs and they…

{quick rant} ages of old: individual who favors a particular story of a mind of another who makes their own story as appreciation. as the age shows perfection due to concentration or such else.
or-old fanfiction was better: a duality between the ages
Time has shown us that old is gold and gold shines brighter than the rusted iron. This metaphor preceeds to show throughout our lives and creations that we produce. The myriad of it has been squeezed of all dignity throughout history, whether it be from one creature to another. But there are those who skip around the whimpering of the lack of use in those, its an utterly creative mind to leap over the rising shadows of those mistakes, its like the bible but worse with the generational translations that began to peter out of reasons.
But despite that gut-wrentching thought, there’s still hope in it for us. Though not so much for those with who wear gold with those cocksure grins, thinking that now not just their minds but skins have any inch of value. Thus weirdos like us have to tear is off and hang it on display with the words below it saying “The skin of a stuck-up prick with no dignity”. Maybe some grandma can make use of it as oven mitts or a rug, maybe then it will have vaule to a rightfully so extinct species of asshats.
But enough of that, let’s move on the main man of the hour. With the not-so-easy acess to the ebb and flow of public posting on the interweb, it might’ve been the key to the peace of mind and accelerating ability to perfect your craft the way you want it. To the ways of making crafts before your very eyes on the silk papery sheets as a child with a wild imagination, but execpt you’re an adult without good paying labor(Which is good to not starve under the bellies of well-fed baby men)- Once you were there, 2014 writing your story. Maybe of the blue hedgehog or wizard teen, no matter what it is, it was the beauty in your eyes. You witnessed the extravagant perplexity of the giant rock you walked upon, and how it looked through your brains and pupils. You posted it, and everyone and their grandma has read it.
To cut to the point, those who were around put out the funniest, alluring, inordinate and most seductive stories to the world. And once those great examples experienced generational translations, something got lost and corrupted. This is the same for the more favored visual arts but thats for another post. I’ve read a lot of the oldest fanfictions on AO3, from 2009-2016. And there was no shying away from their true ambitions and will/need to concern their abilities to fantasies, despite social construct and backlash. I have a bigger-than-life belief for anti-censorship and higer expectations for everyone’s creative endeavours, like how many others did more in fandoms in the golden age of interweb fandoms, especially on here Tumblr. Once so many friends and close people bonded over their ideas, art, stories, and even sexual intrests. There’s a invisible wall between who people are these days and the freedom everyone once and still has, and to break free from the mundane and samey status quo of your mind. No enthusiasm to be had, no excitment, just the same mold and cookie-cutter personalities that maybe once had their own mind to make the desicions.
The modern internet hates creativity and sexual/general freedom. And the most important thing is will you follow the current social construct or craft yourself? your own original self and begin a new and better life. Do art, writing, and such other things the same way or experiment and even come up with your own like the days of old and have fun, make friends, and learn new things?
You choose which one will be better in the long run. Because im not here to babysit everyone.

In a world spiraling into war, with AI rising and jobs falling, it’s easy to miss the little things — like a spate of young Republicans praising Hitler.
Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross in a decent democracy, and for good reason: fascism, the Second World War and genocide. Murdering millions of humans should never inspire admiration.
But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains revealed among young Republican leaders. This isn’t an outlier or a one-off. It’s a pattern and a problem.
Last week, the Miami Herald revealed the contents of an extensive group chat started by the secretary of Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party, for conservative students at Florida International University. The chat quickly degenerated into a cesspool of racism, violent fantasies, and Hitler-admiration. The n-word was used over 400 times, including in ruminations on the best ways to murder African Americans (curb-stomping and crucifixion were mentioned by one allegedly pro-life member of the chat). The chat also included extensive references to women as “whores,” fantasies about all-white immigration laws, and free-flowing hatred toward Jewish Americans. The chat group was named “Gooning in Agartha” — which is a strange combo platter suggesting ornate masturbation rituals in “Nazi heaven.”
Now, an isolated bout of hate-flu perhaps could be dismissed, but it directly echoed another group chat of national young Republican leaders uncovered by reporters at Politico less than six months ago. In this Telegram chat, leaders from New York, Kansas, Arizona, and Vermont let their bile casually flow.
[…]
This didn’t come out of nowhere. There was evidence of an ugly permission structure in Trump’s refusal to denounce David Duke in 2016, the both-siderism after the Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally in which khaki’d men with torches shouted “Jews will not replace us,” and the presence of at least give self-described Nazis at the January 6 attack on the Capitol, as I reported in a CNN “Reality Check” segment. The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols — himself a former Republican — recently catalogued the Trump’s administration’s increasing use of Nazi iconography in an article concisely titled, “The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem.”
We cannot allow this depraved new low to be normalized in America. The autocratic impulse that leads weak people to fall under the sway of a self-styled strong man leads to lethal places. This problem is erupting from the base, particularly from younger members, who should be the most idealistic participants in our politics. It cannot be contained, it must be confronted consistently — particularly from Republicans. Each party has an obligation to police its own extremes and there is nothing more extreme — and evil — than Adolph Hitler and his genocidal goosestepping thugs. If you can’t clearly and confidently call out Nazi admirers in your own party, then you’ve put party over country, conscience, and common sense.

If Only This Was Satire
This would be amazing if it was satire. The image at the bottom of five Mac Minis that cost $10,000 exactly etc. It really has the elements to be just clutch. Sadly the author didn’t write it as satire and that just makes me sad.
I think he is confusing the Codex App with what actually does the work—ChatGPT. He also has this random thing about using a hosted VPS instead of Mac Minis to save money—even though you aren’t saving anything since most of your money is going to API costs. At least with the Mini you can run local models.
I don’t understand why you need multiple Mac Minis if you use Claude or the like. I also don’t understand why you’d choose to torture yourself with local LLMs. I think the author confuses necessity with popularity.
Anyways it’s just a dumb post that is amusing to read. I like to imagine it’s satire—less sad that way.
