Pretty sure most of this thread is bot vs bot.

PS. it would be funny if the same "social media management" organization that is hired by one side was also randomly hired by the other :)

Not if Count Binface wins the elections.

First the UK, then leadership of Europe via behind-closed-doors politics, then a gentle colonization of both the east and the west using our amazing cheese, bread that is baked rather than synthesized from fossil fuels, and 30 days of paid vacations per year. The path forward is clear.

Yes, those that work in intelligence, sort of. The depth and character of application of this rule depends on a particular country. For example nearly all of them would justify a few murders to keep trade routes open.

Any decent compressor will take care of this - and much more.

When I started reading it I thought for far too long that this person is actually stupi^H^H^H^H^H serious. So writing that it is satire is useful for people that do not read enough of the text, and just jump into the comments :) Also, this type of behavior has little to do with the neurodivergent spectrum, if anything it touches personality types, maybe maybe some trauma or addiction, unlikely to be caused by anything in the affective space (episodes would be too short) or psychosis space.

Why would you even generate fake pictures of this type? Don't you already have real ones? I mean, it's actually more work, unless you don't have the real ones.

H8crilA — Sun, 07 Jun 2026 21:56:16 +0000

That's about 0.25% of total water consumption. I.e. the entire country uses about that much per day.

Why would it ever be more economical to put datacenters in orbit, rather than on some dirt cheap land?

Every single population goes through a baby bust when a certain level of development is achieved - women education seems to be a particularly strongly correlated sub-component.

Yes, that is the definition of consciousness (you care about them).

Latest filing, as of end of March 2026, shows $126.8B in total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities:

I guess they don't want to burn it down to $40B?

It's not just an unlock. It's a major discovery.

H8crilA — Sun, 24 May 2026 10:30:44 +0000

As far as Brockman account of the past goes, there's also his personal diary which was made public as a part of that lawsuit by Musk. Includes for example the line: "Financially what will take me to $1B?". BTW, if you don't know, Musk lost it because he filed too late, lol.

New comment by H8crilA in "The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics"

That was my point, make it so that apps can run on that RAM budget. At least some apps.

H8crilA — Fri, 22 May 2026 11:57:15 +0000

It would make memory-poor phones more viable. Like why can't we have a 512MB, or even 256MB RAM phone. Although I doubt that the software effort would be cheaper than just buying the extra RAM. It's definitely much more uncertain.

I'm trolling, figured some people would actually spend time thinking about this. Wasn't wrong :)

Exactly. Just like paracetamol and autism. Like that's a difficult decision, duh.

I assure you that I am not conscious (and a human, not an LLM). Therefore at least partial solipsism is true.

H8crilA — Mon, 18 May 2026 09:31:39 +0000

I am pretty sure I am not conscious, and this seems to solve the entire problem that other people have.
