And the thing is, I think the reality is even worse than that.

Current AI models aren’t going to lead to general AI, we need something radically different. The current “static” neural network models just won’t cut it, we need something like spiking neural networks so the AI can be “on” all the time.

Actual AGI is probably still so far away that I doubt mass-scale industrial society has enough years left before either the climate or some other human-caused idiotic omnifuck kicks the chair away from under it.

We meatbags have to be the absolute worst role models for AIs

And I’m here for it

Ehh, I mean yeah I get what you mean, but guns are still pretty useful tools (if not exactly pleasant.) US gun fetishism is way off the deep end, but we’re still pretty far from “bluetooth smart diaper” territory

Guns are inanimate.

People who do dumb shit like this are dumb.

And in your opinion, how could I have better represented someone test firing a gun in their own goddamn hand?

Wait, you’re right. After your reply I think “moron” was way too lenient of me.

Please tell me you weren’t wearing eye or ear protection, that’d make this even better.

Yeah, using the wrong kind of filament accidentally is understandable and doesn’t say anything about anyone’s intelligence.

Takes a real moron to test fire a brand new experimental gun in their hand, and then cry about it and blame their friend when it inevitably goes sideways

That’s too many nuts. The recommended maximum amount of nuts is 2

“Understandable, I hope you have a better one”

Surprisingly few downvotes so far.

Lemmy stalinists are going to enjoy this one

Urr, I don’t think that’s it, I don’t think stereo sound for vinyls has ever worked so that something like this would be necessary and it wouldn’t really make sense – why would they have to put vocals on one channel and instruments on the other?

A stereo vinyl player just has the needle moving up and down in addition to left and right, so that the left-right axis is the sum of the waveforms of both channels and the up-down axis is the difference – which means that a regular mono player can play stereo vinyls

THE PEETS

If OP’s not from the US, turkey might not be an option – it’s not very common in a lot of places here in Europe for example.

Might be an option to just buy cat food (after they recover from their injury) and hide it in their room if the stepmom is that controlling

Gah, honestly I’m not surprised at all she’s like that, she sounds exactly like the type.

Holy crap, that’s sounds outright abusive

Ah, I managed to completely miss the last part of the comment because I’m an eejit who can’t read good

Which naturally means it’s impossible for it to be an issue for literally anybody else anywhere at any time

And no, before some dumb fuck has any bright ideas, I’m not saying this will be an issue for everybody, just that it’s absolutely fucking idiotic to pretend it’s never an issue.

In 2017 his name was mentioned as a visionary comparable to the Wright Brothers and Zefram Cochrane (inventor of the warp drive) on a Star Trek episode set in the 2250s.

By a character who was explicitly evil and whose judgement we were not meant to trust, though

I got smoked out of a company I helped found because I had health issues, even though I was still capable of doing my job. It’s illegal to fire people for health issues here, but it’s not like firing someone is the only way to get rid of them.

Everybody who’s telling you you can legally use these appointments is probably completely correct (depending on your jurisdiction). Whether the legality actually matters is another thing entirely.
