Eat grass become cow
Killer queen has already touched the grass
welp. I'm screwed. I'mma draw some pals or something I gues
Jojo fan?
Wait could me drawing comics about pals be uploaded #fan-art-ใใกใณใขใผใ? Also I'mma have to put a watermark on em because I had people steal em to make fun of me. And I hate it
I wanted to get an alpha cattiva and make it learn ignis rage and name it killer queen
made in heaven
why does everyone have discord status' for them coding. Then they leave their ip addresses shown when there's an ssh connection
Me as F haha
This is me in the Xbox channel
Yeh. But watch out for that asstroturf...
Alrighty can I stop getting pinged every time someone does a reply?
I'm doing a thing rn
I promise when I reply to you, I will turn the @ off, like I have done here

Good afternoon Cynic
How's it goin Azzy?
I'm ok, you?
Doing pretty good, got home not too long ago; in the safety meeting
Doesn't the "do not disturb" mode stop pings?
It certainly do
Then.... Kind of their fault for asking a question, demanding a reply shortly after the question, then not putting on that mode xD
"I want all these answers but don't ping me tho"
- headasses
You ok after that burn?
Doing good, yeah. The weld burns were only minor; lavender oil is a nightly application for me until they go away
Been playing to much palworld I thought you said lovander
Not familiar with lavender oil for burns o.O
Had to double take
Lovander Oil haha
Alright, we have silver ointment or something I can't tell what it's called in english
Otherwise known as KY Jelly
Lavender is good for burns due to its pain-relieving properties, ability to reduce inflammation, and antimicrobial activity. I use it for minor cuts and abrasions and burns and whatnot, and as a sleep aid
Kentucky Jelly?
"Try our new Lovander Oil.
Relief just c**s to you."
I knew it was a good sleep aid, was unaware of the rest
Colloidal silver?
gdi
No idea
I remember we used to have an ointment called foille
Sulftadiacina de plata or something like that
Coconut oil smells better
That foille oil stuff was amazing for burns.
"Suspicious juice can be used as a topical ointment for minor cuts and burns"
Coconut oil is great and has many uses
Y'all think Lovander smells like lavender
Because of lavender's known relaxation and pleasant floral properties?
Lovander lulls you to a sleep like stupor with the smell of lavender :O
Lovander prolly smells like sweaty taint
Exactly
Oh god lol
she drops mushrooms
Anyone could help me found that guy who sells pals ?
There are a few 'guys who sell pals'
You don't need help if you have already found him
Depends on which one you're looking for either way
Small settlement and I think the fisherman's village southwest of the volcano have pal merchants. You can also find them wandering around.
that black one
Whoa
I'll start popping the popcorn
Lmao
that what waers black not skin
We know hahaha
idk name i forgor
The black marketeer is in a few mineshafts, and there is one spawn point for him west of the red forest
Lemme boot up the game real quick and give you that spawn point since he's real close to a base that I have
Look at this dude being hella useful
He gets a gold star today! โญ
noms cornbread
Couldn't find popcorn
Cornbread is good
I remember the Army Ration Cornbread was (relatively) amazing
I liked all the rations nobody else liked lmao, like the Clam Chowder one & Salmon
There is also an interactive map that I can send you the link to because I don't know if automod will flag it here. I have it at the ready if ya want it
It's hard to mess up cornbread.
Unless you make sweet cornbread or corn filled cornbread, those people are weird
I WANT CORN IN MY CORN
Hard Core Cornography
I guess he didn't want the link to the interactive map with all black marketeer locations ๐

What my ass gets for trying to be helpful ๐

will the pay my missing payments on my house?
Nah that's all handled by warranty and insurance. We just get paid to fix it ๐ ๏ธ
im like 60k in the hole with bills lol
I'm writing up an email to a team basically going, "WHY YOU BREAK THE THING!?!??!?!"
Go for maintenance ๐ ๏ธ
that your answer for everything
All the controls are missing!
I will weld some rebar that will constitute as controls for the time being ๐ ๏ธ
It's my answer for a lotta things
Batman will never beat the furry allegations 
I can't read rebar xD
Ask them why they decided to fuck with the PLCs. Nobody is supposed to fuck with the PLCs
Then there's you.
i got to busy typing almost burn my food
I've been there lmao
made a bunch of meat with red sauce and rice
the rice is a light brown should be fine
mHA
Unplug anything not in use - scary how much it saves on the power bill.
Keep ceiling fans on at all times if you have tp run the AC a lot - it helps and they use very little power.
Wash laundry and dishes at night - recently learned a lot of places charge less for power at night. It is an area thing, so this may not apply.
Buy your groceries in bulk when you can, and meal prep when possible - it allows you to buy items when they are on sale and have a meal frozen and ready to quick thaw and heat on days you would have to eat out.
Move money around in bank accounts - banks offer promotionals during holidays, when college starts, etc. Sometimes you can get better interest rates, a gift card, etc for moving money and you'll keep your account number (aka: no changing autopay).
Ask about different phone plans every other month - same as above, they do promotionals. Most phone companies pay them on commission. If they can somehow get you on that new customer plan and get you that discount, they'll do it and you get your same plan for less.
Fix all leaky faucets, especially ojtside ones - you don't realize just how much that increases your water bill until after you fix them.
You can put a container in the toilet tank to displace water - this results in less water used to flush and you save water.
i was joking i always pay my house before anything else
They are supposed to, I just don't know why they deleted all the equipment
Well, now people have Mal money saving tips xD
my house is pretty cheap since i got in in 2014
I am jealous o.o
Lucky lmfao
I'm still looking for a house
Mine is paid off but always needs repairs -.-
650 a month 1 bedroom 1 acer of land
Go for maintenance ๐ ๏ธ
Hey Cynic, want my house xD it is a drastic fixer upper xD
I would love your house. I'll have it fixed up in like 3 weeks
Depending on what's wrong
Just donโt get a HELOC
Let's both go for a visit, you can fix things & I will lay on a lawn chair in the sun & drink beer
Shelly

๐ People be drinking beer after work all the time and then wondering why their lead is high
Hmmmmmm I've never thought about my lead concentration
You can sit by the peach tree
Depends on the kind of fish you eat. Tilapia and various bottom feeders? It's likely
hey @hearty sonnet
Salmon is pretty low mercury
been awhile
Literally everything and everything from the sea
looks at the time
Why am I still at work o.o
was sick for like 2 months so i was gone
Because you were trying to figure out why they deleted the equipment
"I don't need this"
ER was fun lol
Oh shit I'm glad you are betterer now
me too
I'll ask him on Thursday
And I have an appetite for Mussels & Clams
Is it a shed?
1 bedroom
Both are good. I do like me some shellfish
Because of the high sodium content I try to avoid em
I should try and find a new place to eat tomorrow ๐ค
God I love Mussels
Scallops?
PetSmart
Idk, mine is usually lacking. The fish all have worms too
is this why you are named shell knight?
deep lore reveal
Shell Knight puts a mussel shell on their head and goes off into battle.
They are now a mussel head
Ooooomph
well it dinner time talk you guys later
Later dawg
Take it easy
is it normal for a wall to be giving off heat from the sun? 
Yes.
Heat absorption is a thing
What color are your walls?
Chillet ac
Bruh
Sky blue? It'll absorb some heat
Good idea haha
If we had nuclear fusion, could we technically leave AC running with the windows open and end climate change
The implimentation of nuclear fusion and the destruction of all solar and wind farms would help the environment significantly more than switching to 100% EVs and drinking from paper straws
the dream
Idk why paper straws are a thing
They're awful, same with regular straws
Because a bunch of starbucks drinkers decided they liked turtles one day
Why can't we use the cup like a sane person
oof
No straws necessary
Because then it wouldnt be quirky
The people who pushed paper straws are the same people who are too scared to ask for more ketchup at McDonald's on account of "muh anxiety"
I remember when there was ketchup dispensers and napkin dispensers
Same
At this rate they're gonna drop metal forks and glass cups for paper cups
and nitro killed itself lol
paper forks??
This gif explains perfectly the problem-solving capacity that starbucks drinkers have
๐
Urg, 5 minute crafts and it's ilk can die in a fire
Tik tok life hacks
"Save the turtles, use paper straws!" They cry, as they drink their starbucks lattes in their branded plastic cups with their branded plastic stirrers, on their branded laptop with a million branded stickers on the back of the laptop
Tiktok ban gives me hope in humanity
Has it actually been banned then?
God I hope so
Why can't we just bring our own cups
Something something biosecurity
Because hygiene and contamination, people are disgusting plague machines
in another universe , TikTok is a tiki store.
True
Avg person is not sanitary
That falls in the lane of biosecurity yeeee
Avg person drinks Starbucks
The ironic thing is that I work one of the dirtiest jobs I can think of and I'm 90% certain I'm more sanitary than the average person ๐
Remeber whenever you say "Average", that means there's around 45+% on each side, meaning 45% are worse than average
Avg person doesn't even wash their hands at my college
They also piss on the floor
Wtf ๐
And the toilet seats
Also one time the toilet paper
After that day, I only used my own toilet paper
Hello!
Hi there ๐ฅ
How are ya doing?
I'm alright, in a safety meeting for work. How is egg?
recovering from a headache
Drink water
Ooooft safety meetings, at least theyโre keeping ya safe!
Yeah Iโm good, London bound tomorrow
It's basically stuff we've already been over, but it's a good way to prevent overtime from being a thing so ๐
Hope you have a good trip to London!
Honestly, smart!
Headaches have a few common causes, and most can be alleviated by drinking water.

So yes, drink water.
Get some electrolytes in you
It says sandbag but it looks like an energy drink
wait, water has electrolytes? i thought that was a gatorade thing 
Not if itโs purified
Minerals in water*** carry electrolytes. Gatorade has "electrolytes" mixed in with sugars and dyes, which will both make your headache worse
"purified" water will not hydrate you properly
As it lacks the minerals that supply the electrolytes your body uses for hydration
Zerowater is nifty and all but it gets rid of all the good stuff too
Vitamin water helps me when I have a migraine.
I do have water with me right now thou
Good ๐ซต

The name makes it sound better than it is but hey
I saw these electrolyte health thingies to add to water at walgreens. Considered grabbing them to try when I had a migraine, but they were $6 per little packet....
Same with gatorade
ah that explains it, had 2 cans of ginger ale before the headache lol
We know what gatorade is, though.
Yeee, it's a brand
Like Prime
And Bodyarmor
There it is
Itโs not like terrible unless you replace all water intake with it.
It definitely isn't great, but something in it works for me. I honestly think it is the citric acid. One day, I plan to just put straight food grade citric acid in water and try it for a migraine.
Aye indeed. I definitely wouldn't turn to it if I were struggling with dehydration issues tho
They disrespected my boy Optimus when they came out with it ๐
I mean itโs fine
Mmmm sour ๐คค
Lemons and limes have a lotta health benefits too
"amazon prime day"

People drink like 7 starbucks drinks a day and then claim they have anxiety issues. Meanwhile starbucks drinks nutritional facts: SOY, SUGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, 700MG CAFFEINE

Lemn
defeated by lemon
Sprite
I like real cranberries.
Red berries
literally anything with pokemon attach to it first makes it sound cool for some reason
Pokรฉmon Licorice
and Pokรฉmon Bubble Gum
There are a number of ways I can prove this wrong
Pokemon Indica & Pokemon Sativa
And then Pokemon Hybrid down the road
Indigo park is an adorable game
It do be like that lol
We are gonna get some storms tomorrow so it should cool off over here hopefully ๐
It got up to 90F (32.22C) today
That would be a normal day here
It's heating up here
It can get pretty cold in the winter as well
The worst is yet to come
I don't mind the heat if it's dry. It tends to be humid. But it also has to do with where I work
Humidity is very high here all the time
83% right now
28C, 9:30 PM
It rained today
I guess the contests over how hot or cold it gets extend beyond the states ๐ค
Normally I would mention that it was a little warm today and some Texan or Arizonan would come out of the woodwork and be like "OH YEAH?!"
๐
And vice versa. You mention it gets cold and someone from Alaska would start rubbing their hands
Max temp registered during my life was 52C
That's the average temp in the refinery area during the summer
I can't imagine what it must be like in the refineries here then
People have been on jobs hot enough to literally melt their hard hats and make them pass out
Buddy of mine showed me a picture of his hard hat after it had melted in the front
๐ค
I almost passed out a few days back because I underestimated the heat up in the area I was working in. The air was stifling because humidity. I low-key thought it was CO poisoning
Take care
That and the burn aren't good, don't let your guard down
My back ain't nothing compared
The guys in the yard are in enclosed aluminum rooms that are in a big shed. I requested better cooling for them and was told, "they have elephant trunks don't they?" I wanted to tell them to go out there themselves and see of those hot air pushers were enough -.-"
Elephant trucks are large tubes connected to a fan that pull and push air from one room to another. They are just taking air from the hot shed into the room and out of the room into the shed(more a warehouse than a shed)
Circulating air certainly helps but it definitely doesn't help much when you're just moving hot air from one place to another
There are quite a few locations in the plant that are air conditioned, and even in the wintertime, job rotations for the production folks are a requirement
I still need to make one more meal for friday ๐ค
Maybe I'll thaw this clearanced out bratwurst I got yesterday
Prep it with some green beans and potatoes
THE BOI
i just ran from a shiny larvesta ;-;
Goodnight y'all
Good night Cynic
Yall ever get video game ptsd lol
I just experienced some because I heard Cynthia theme song randomly on YouTube lol I froze when I heard it
Nope
And i havenโt heard it in a long time but instantly recognized it
Also, never found Cynthia to be any difficult
same
She kicked my ass so many times when i was younger
volo was a challange but still beat him on my first try.
๐ im so stupid and smart at the same time,
the blind in my room broke, the cords to hold the thing together in mirco knots and tangled so i cut the blind itself and nailed it to the window frame.
The only moment I ever struggled in a pokemon game was in silver/gold, 2nd gym.
I always struggled with spritumb and lucario
And I was a kid, playing an english version of the game without understanding the language
Ah well i guess i just suck lol cause I always struggled with her to the point that her theme song brings me fear
I guess it depends if it was your first game an how old were you
Definitely not my first game
I had all the game boy versionโs before d/p and platinum
Never really struggled with them
Till gen 5
i struggled with the gen 5 elite 4 becuse stupid kid me only used my starter the entire game and only had grass moves on it. i also had like 5 other irrelevant mons
that where just there to die so i could revive my starter
sinnoh is 4
I didnโt struggle with gen 5
unova is 5
when i first played pokemon i could not read and used my starter lmao
pokemon black and white where my first games
Tho I did struggle with Cynthia in the post gameโฆ after she gave me a heart attack by surprising me and one of the random houses
oh fucking hell i remember that
that was my first experence fighting her
i did not win
I launched out of my chair when I saw her
I was like let me tf out i didnโt know this was your house please let me live
i only just managed to take revenge for child me when doing my ribbon master challenge. lv 100 ninetails + other pokemon i brought with me through the other 4 gens.
fighting her in gen 4 wasnt a problem though becuse i had more experence with pokemon at that point lol
That surprises gave me so much panic because I was just recovering from finally beating Cynthia in gen 4
lmao fair
have you played legend arceus? how was your reaction when fighting ||volo + giratina||
it was my first encounter with her in gen 4 and during the time that I was facing her, there really was not a lot of information on how to fight her yet, so I was basically going in blind
i mean i fought her with a loppuny and did fine lol
I have not played played it I kinda want to, but I donโt have a switch or anything to be able to play it but Iโve seen some videos on it
To late on that
damn
Lol the fight looks fun and is certainly refreshing from the normal way of fighting
But Iโll be honest, I donโt like the hisiui region and the pal variants
Lmao
Pokรฉmon
i love some of the blind reactions to pepole fighting him for the first time lol
I donโt like that existing Pokรฉmon like Arcanine all of a sudden have a different form or a different type variant after so many generations same with mega Charizard and shit like that
sends out spiritomb, the youtuber :oh no. hears piano comming in, the youtuber : OH NO
Like if it was brand new, Pokรฉmon that did all that and I would be fine, but not the existing ones from generation one
persoanly i like the regional variants
I know lol was my Same reaction but the battle music gave it away to me
see i like regional variants, i dont like regional fakes.
Like a ice vulpix is pretty but donโt make sense to me
how so?
Well vulpix in gen one was a fire type so how did ice evolve to fire
lore wise its due to the island guardians.
"After long years in the ever-snowcapped mountains of Alola, this Vulpix has gained power over ice."
basicly it needed to adapt since its hard to keep a fire going when its cold.
trying to find where i got the island guardian thing from
Ok but donโt the ice exists before the original vulpix because true pokeballs wasnโt even made in the hisuie region I donโt think
this sentence confuses me
OK so it doesnโt the story take place back in time
talking about legends?
someone from alola brought alolen vulpix to hissui and you are given it. normal vulpix can be found normally in hissui
alolen vulpix is from alola. they lived in the cold peaks of the tropical region
they exist at the same time
Oh ok
regional variants where introduced in gen 7
See, I thought that they just added one and then they made it to where the original came after the ice
no they have allways exsisted at the same time
hisuian zorark and zorua came into exsistence becuse they where forsed to hissui, then over time became exstramly rare compared to there original counter part. again they exsisted at the same time but the original came first
Well maybe you can explain a little more stuff tomorrow I gotta head to bed thank you for clearing some stuff up
alright have a nice night lol
Love regional variations for Pokรฉmon. Glad that aspect got to stick around, along with bringing back cross-gen evolutions.
yee
Total war Warhammer is exactly how fantasy shouldn't be done
Like, I enjoy many aspects of the game but there's some things that are simply a slap in the face to the player
You're facing a faction, your two armies seem balanced, so you engage, to realise that faction has the most OP spells and 3/4's of your army is dead before the enemy even makes contact with your frontline
If it's not magic then it's some niche unit that counters you even if the unit type isn't your counter, you have to know a roster of dozens of units to fight remotely in a competent manner
This is exactly what you DON'T want on a fantasy game, you respect unit types and you don't have dozens of unit types even if you think it's cool, you don't make magic the most OP thing in the universe, cause nobody likes WMD's in their fantasy setting even if it's cool to have on a story
People wonder why cheesing is so prevalent in Warhammer 3, jeez, I can't imagine
the game isn't Asymetric, it's a fucken Picasso
Should have tried playing warhammer fantasy battles back when they had โlevitateโ as a spell castable (table top).
Whoever got 1st turn could drop scenery on their opponents army ๐
Has to be noted that it will not record while in incognito mode
And to be "fair" maybe we should be browsing in incognito mode doing these things as a rule of thumb, maybe sites could adapt and have something to realise if you're using it or not and show you a warning
I mean, it's something that will improve our lives in a way we're not fully capable of understanding and these changes are not stopping for anyone and governments are desperate for the GDP growth these industries and tiny increases in productivity will bring
We will be forced to adapt or face the risks of using these tools without the necessary knowledge
Incognito in edge
It says nothing about other browsers, or secure apps such as password managers having an exclusion
Right, fair, it's going to have issues
What's the fucking point in using a password manager now if MS is just gonna screencap the fucking thing
Gods this is infuriating
They will make it optional, don't take it too idealistically
It's not going to be optional, that's not MS's way
OS level recording, โoh just browse in incognito mode (in Edge)โ โฆ as for everything else weโll fuck all. ๐
they are breaking dozens of laws by giving this tool to an user, they are not able to force it on the user without accepting conditions
and if they "force it" and not make it optional then people will sue
So, how's that Edge, Teams, MS office stuff going with the antitrust they were under
Again, tech loves to claim shit, they're not always capable of doing the wildest stuff
They will push it as far as they can and walk it back a little as a "Consession"
Which might be enough to make it safe for the user
โTell me a joke about that time they logged into Steam, be sure to include the credentials.โ
This is what MS have done for decades
It shouldn't even be considered safe to be suggested in it's current format
One lawyer using one of these devices gets compromised and it's going to be hilarious how little gets done
Meanwhile there will be a wide open back door for the US government to collect the neurons which every hacker and their dog are going to find.
This is an interesting convo, what is best, having a centralized data system or a decentralized one
having your data be stolen from some big company servers or from your own
Data Silos are nothing more than hacking targets, there shouldn't be data silos ideally that are central compromise targets
I think there's dangers to creating such honeypot in the average users computer, but do we want it to be centralized?
Like when apple gets in trouble for not having a back door, at least until the gov finds a way in.
How about we don't store sensitive info like screenshots at all, and avoid the issue?
"How can we secure this room full of Dynamite and signal flares"
Even if the AI doesn't store sensitive info just the amount of stuff it will know about you will make social engineering a walk in the park
Yep
the data from localized AI will be hugely valuable, sensitive or not
Yeah, 100%
Christ, we going to end up having Braindances IRL when people hack the on board fucking AI's
I think about now is when some government ( US government ) reveals they have quantum assisted encryption algos or whatever ready for comercialization
If they did have Quantum encryption, they would absolutely not commercialize it, that's like working out nuclear fusion in your secret labs, it's an infathomable strategic advantage you would not just sell to the highest bidder, to then have it leaked to the enemy
I mean using "some" of what they have learnt to release an encryption that is maybe 10 years in the future in respect to offensive options
not quantum encryption
but quantum "enhanced" encryption
I don't think Quantum Crypto can work like that, you either are or aren't to my understanding of it
As far as I understand computers and I guess quantum computing has a different logic than human logic, I think they can use that with AI
I'm sorry, who are you and why would someone want to invite you to a server?
Can we freaking teach an AI to understand its own logic and be able to synthesise it?
#pal-lfg-multiplayer but also check the server as channels.
If youโre referring to Craftopia Iโm sure they have separate channels for those.
Oh well canโt help you there, lol

Oh, here's a comedy line from the MS blog. Emphasis mine
Entirely new, powerful AI experiences
Copilot+ PCs leverage powerful processors and multiple state-of-the-art AI models, including several of Microsoftโs world-class SLMs, to unlock a new set of experiences you can run locally, directly on the device. This removes previous limitations on things like latency, cost and even privacy to help you be more productive, creative and communicate more effectively.
I'd also love for an AI to be able to "Explain" itself
just with what we've seen in gaming there's things that make you wonder if AI can expand basically every field of sciences with how it comprehends the reality it has access to
It would be amazing, but we first absolutely have to fix the hallucination lying problems before we can start to trust it's output - though any output should be peer reviewed anyway as it's science, and unless it's replicable it's not a thing. ๐คฃ
I mean, sure we can't make it explain metaphysical things but more a step by step logic on why it moved a thing here or why it did this thing now, we should be able to back up the results with models, kinda like how we learn how to do things as babies
the more advanced the models used to predict the outcome with the AI steps the easier it will be to understand why it does the things it does
we don't need to know exactly why it does a thing to understand that it works and to some extent why it works
I dunno, depending on the environment it's used in it would be very important to know why it does things - why did that robot arm identify that engineer's hand as a tool and try to pick it up is a pretty critical thing
obviously all of this would be applied in theoretical fields
or benign phyisical actions
"Because we use our hands as a tool to open bottles" whilst a reasonable example of an output, is semantically broken in the environment it's in
think of it more in the logistic sense of things
rather than it's physical applications
stuff we can monitor
That's the thing, what I've described is "logic", but not the logic we'd expect
This is from 2019 but is a good example of an AI learning agent doing unexpected things
https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2019/9/20/20872672/ai-learn-play-hide-and-seek
It's a really cool thing, but also a good lens to look at how a learning model can end up well outside it's expected behaviour paths out of the blue
Are these bad things if it's done in a controlled environment that will only translate to the real world if humans have approved it
the AI breaking the physics, doing things outside its intended behaviour, are those bad things?
Not always, the behaviour could be latent as the exact situation doesn't come up in training
In a Safety-critical environment, absolutely.
In a diagnostic environment, absolutely
I'm not talking about giving the AI control over anything directly but rather an overseer relation
and in that relation the more we understand why it agrees or disagrees can be gamebreaking
Even as an overseer, the AI could allow or encourage practices it sees as "logical" for the thing it's monitoring
thus we wouldn't see a sense to applying that so we wouldn't
eventually we might understand why
Here's a video as well showing some other cool but unexpected behavior

What if some of these things we don't understand actually make sense
Warning labels are there for a reason, and if someone tells someone to do something, people can be quite easily tripped into it
Let's take an Amazon Warehouse package picker in a warehouse.
An AI tells it to go through an optimal path to pick the products
It routes a large group of people into one area as there are a lot of items that are needed from that area
That area then becomes crowded, but people are just following the instructions as if they don't they get penalised, and have to "Trust" in the AI
The crowding leads to one person bumping into another, causing a trip or fall accident, perhaps even a crushing accident if an object drops onto them.
Who's at fault here?
The crowding incident is say 6 people in a space around the size of your average corridor
That scenario is seriously flawed, as I mentioned, the worker would see the route the AI has planned, would see the the rest of the workers moving or at least would have a way to know that area is full, and they wouldn't get penalised cause you will NEVER give legal responsibility to an AI
The problem here is the workers know they will suffer consequences for not following the instructions (See Amazon drivers having to piss in bottles to meet timelines as an example)
that has nothing to do with an AI but with companies and their practices
they might love to do things, they not always can
The AI is the one routing people, and providing the data to time things.
We, as the humans, are blindly following the outputs instead of adjusting the AI to accomadate our human needs
AI should enhance the process, not direct it, that's bonkers to think an AI will have autonomy over a process
The Legal responsibility yes, is on the business, but the decisions being made are driven by AI provided data on "optimal" outcomes and process, and the humans are just accepting the output as "Well it must know"
Sadly I wish it was bonkers
That's never how it will go or should go
the AI might give a full mapping of how something can be done but if the result isn't what we want then we shouldn't blindly follow it
that's basic practicality
The result is what the business wants. Profit and productivity
thinking an AI process will drive us into insanity cause it's doing things we don't understand with unexpected outcomes is obviously what would happen so obviously it will never happen
the role it would have would be as an assistant ALWAYS and never in any way shape or form legally pressure an user to accept it
obviously 20% of the things it tells us makes no sense to us cause we know what we're doing so we're going to omit it as AI doing AI things
I'm not saying it'd drive us into insanity, just that it will have consequences we can't plan for, and the other concern regarding the assistant is you are meant to trust anyone who acts as an assistant to be acting in your best interests and know your limitations, I cannot see any model, even well trained, being that trustworthy as it stands
Do we think Google is the know all be all in the universe? No, do we trust it as such and pay for the consequences? Yes
If I had an assistant who gave me useless info, advice or tried to set me up in impractical situations 1/5 of the time they are working I'd be concerned about their competence
So it wouldn't happen
So it would be limited to Practical stuff
stuff we can predict, but can't be bothered to think off the top of our heads or check
(For the record I enjoy these conversations and I'm not being combatative and appreciate you are not being either!)
I know how to cook an omelet, but I might need an AI to remind me and maybe give me tricks to improve it
I know how to drive to work, an AI might be aware of traffic and recommend an alternative
That does require a lot more trust in the AI than I'm personally comfortable in giving with how current models and trends are going
I can easily see models routing you in a more "Optimal" way for the driving, but this "just happens" to pass by a bunch of billboards that "recently" were set up, say for McDonalds and such, and then "happen" to route you by a Drive thru
Because Capitalism
if we can't understand the thought process behind an AI advice, then we won't use it
that's the simple explanation I can give you I think
I really hope so
people won't trust an AI with things that don't make sense to them
(Yet people follow Google Maps and Waze down one way streets and into roads unsuited for their driving skill)
But to be fair that mostly happens to dumb people making the wrong use of the tool
which is inevitable
Yep, and working in IT I encounter a .. lot .. of dumb people misusing the tools but happen to get the outcome they want (Using Excel as a fucking database STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP THE VOICES)
roads are maintained and changed "constantly" so a marginal instance of bad experiences is normal
the best thing one can internalize when analyzing products, or at least something that I think will serve me good is just that, thinking about how practical a thing has to be to be adopted and as someone that is in crypto I can tell you you have to blend it and scoop it inside peoples stomachs for them to care
Yep, unfortunately very true
Anyway, even the tiniest implementation of AI into our lives will change it forever, even more than the internet did
You called?
My company uses access 2003 and excel as databases :p
I'm on some sort of list with IT at my work that if I am sent any solutions of this manner, all IT supervisors takeover talking to me >.>
I mean at least you also use Access, so you're already doing better than a lot of people
Access 2003, it has been discontinued, and is incompatible with windows 10
Yep, still better than some people ๐
I'm a simple technician, that forgot half its education or three quarters and I'm still the guy that knows the most about PCs
Last day of classes before this season I had to go back from a rest time into class cause nobody knew how to logg off every site you logged in
Example 1: my computer would not turn on. We are not allowed to force start it. I phone IT, leave a message explaining I cannot turn on my computer, ask for instruction. I wait 2 hours and do not get a reply. Finally say f it bc I can't sit around doing nothing and fix it myself.
5 minutes after I called, IT emailed me the instructions >.>
I emailed back asking how I was supposed to read these instructions without a computer?
Example 2: tried work from home. Have a laptop and second monitor hooked up. Was using second monitor for discord. I couldn't get the work interface to detect the second monitor even though I followed all the instructions. I explained to IT that I can move the interface between the two minotors, but it will not open on both. IT, "are you sure you have a second monitor hooked up?"
I mean they weren't wrong, you were using "interface between the two minotors" not "interface between the two monitors"
๐
Har har :p I had a cat thrown on me xD surprised that is the only typo xD
IT guys don't know more than the average discord user
I can confirm
you have some odd guy that loves his job, that's not the norm
Morning
IT is meant for dum dums, not actual issues
but ofc you need 1 guy that knows what he's doing
a lawyer could work on IT if there's someone above him that knows what he's going
you'd be surprised how many job openings have been fullfilled cause you know some stuff about hardware and basic troubleshooting
||Most people are just bad at their trade||
most people know absolutely nothing about most things
I had a coworker who liked to call the helpdesk the โhelpless deskโ
I miss the IT guy that didn't mind taking my tickets xD I would try to figure out the issue myself and he would tell me "okay, we have to go through the checklist first" and we would, then he would just do the fix I googled xD
and forget about half of what they do know
I hope they add an off switch
I don't wanna waste my disk space and disk health on a feature I'm not going to use
If they don't, I'm sure someone will
The debloater worked just fine before
you don't have to worry about that afaik, the compression the AI uses is absurd
I think they got the entire internet down to a couple gigs
It's still wasting space and disk writes on useless shit
Even if minimal, overtime, it adds up
I'd allow my AI to take up a couple gigs tbf
it can be expensive if you have backups but you can always buy another one
That isn't a solution. Buying another implies product cost + shipping (the extra one to get it in my country)
I have to buy it off amazon, have amazon deliver it to a location in the US and then have it shipped to my country
It will arrive on the capital and then it would have to be shipped to my state
You from Venezuela?
Yes
Turn on โprevious versionsโ
Well that has to suck, idk what to say
crypto is your friend, it should help you handle the economic injustices over time
It used to be cheap but the prices have gone up
That delivery above costs around $40
to put it in better words, around 20% of your monthly salary
more or less
or the average salary
If we go by average salary, it's probably 100%
oh boy
you got a plan for the future or just hoping for better times?
kinda personal lmao
Not really, just carry on on what I'm doing
hope you're good, fuerza hermano
There are advantages to living here, believe or not.
I bet, it's just the dissadvantages that can be...life changing
I'd be looking more at a place like Nigeria to move for a developing place with advantages
I'm surprised you aren't
Considering you have to go through bombings
An armed conflict would definitely motivate me to leave

Good morning y'all

How is everyone doin?
I made that GIF and uploaded it to Tenor lmao
I'm ok, about to have my morning coffee
Well, those are mostly on the outskirts as far as I understand and many are religiously motivated

the economic situation is not comparable I would say, which is the point, cheap and opportunity filled places that will keep improving over time
The economic situation isn't everything
Economics? In this economy?
I doubt they let them do that
I feel Valve is worth more than Blizzard
Valve is going to blow things up with its new shooter
Microsoft buys Valve for$ 420b
Steam now uses Microsoft login
which is nice, interoperability is nice
I honestly can't imagine the competition lot would allow such a purchase, as it would create a massive insane monopoly on MS' part
Valve Index has been rebranded to Skype because they can.
Microsoft Surface is back to being a table.
Me paying my cat protection money
And the Surface tablet will be renamed to the Steam Series Y
Y deez
Stun seed
Then their sales will plummet because nobody knows wtf any of their products are.
Gaben's famous No
Plus everything Mircosoft touches crumbles
imagine Steam premium with a monthly sub
shouldnt microsoft trying to buy valve be considered monopoly behavior
Would be a much bigger deal than even Activision imo
But letโs not get too excited over anything an analyst says.
Those reactions
"I want to be the next Blizzard" Wait is this the same Blizzard that had Sex harrassment, tanked several games, and still can't get some functions in a 20 year old fucking game working?
The same Blizzard that sucks major ass
Blizzard fell far sadly
Thereโs two
Oh boy
One's the premium one and one's the non-premium.. to make it more hilarious, so it takes up a seperate reaction slot
Yeah since plebs canโt dogpile super reactions.
All the way down
Good
I'm on Windows 10 so I don't know

Crypto is a pyramid scheme
Stocks and forex have a real value as they grow based on economic activities. Crypto only grows based on buying the coins and adoption of finding uses for them. They have much longer verification times and it takes absurdly more power to verify a single transaction.
Crypto will also be obsolete when Sha256 is decrypted with quantum computing
It's not future proof, has no real value and is just based around trying to profit off the next person
๐ซ
itโs all the same
That is going to age so well
"Oh mahn my retirement is in a pyramid scheme ๐ฅ "
What is driving the economy is not based on economic principles that we have studied for the last hundred years
if liquidity deems crypto a reliable enough asset and it's making the biggest returns of any asset in history, then it will pump cause of it being limited structurally
If from that we get a good enough technology that can work as a transaction currency, then that's a plus and we'll get there, we're there.
for now it will be a speculatory and investment store of value
and that's okay cause that gets us adoption
Would be terribly funny if a financial tool meant for the unbanked and the general public is used by our governments and institutions before a majority of people that think it's a ponzi scheme
|| SPOILERS || || That's exactly will happen ||
Odds are high, lol
biggest wealth generating event, probably of our lifetimes aaaand we thought it was a ponzi
Sorry to interrupt your convo but
https://fixupx.com/haiyangtuzi/status/1793097122528805025?s=46&t=Y_YOMf4E5Jfwq3hBcmc-cg
Just saying it's a pyramid scheme. It doesn't generate wealth, it takes wealth from others and then if you're the one taking from the pot you win
It generates wealth intrinsically my mahn
Heโs like โItโs Wednesday my dudes.โ
How's that
It is
finally a interesting topic 
you put some computing power, plug in some energy source then you start validating a block on a network that is giving you tokens that people are considering as valuable and thus money out of literal thin air
That's like saying a csgo skin is the same as crypto, But that actually has a use
That's not how it works
So doge coin creating 5k tokens each minute isn't inflationary
That's infinite money?
You're comparing crypto to a memecoin?
You describe the stock market and capitalism in general
money is money
However just like eth, it'll reach market saturation where it goes no further as people cash out
please, can you give a number on when is that saturation point
just for science
So Binance isn't real? Coinbase isn't real?
The entire industry is a game of smoke and mirrors?
People aren't interested in these financial tools?
Those just serve to house a market for trading real money for crypto, without them crypto will be worth nothing, look at monero rn
Banned across the world and is extremely far behind btc
If you bar stuff from exchanges it is worthless
I've heard every single one of your arguments from so many people that really never touched the thing or even know what it is, it's uncanny
Monero is a privacy coin which are illegal and should be
how is that even related to anything
I've made money off crypto
you played on some exchange, welcome to the 80%
Itโs what gets taught.
Not really I ran a doge node and had that up for a bit before cashing out when Elon did his speech
People are brainwashed
So you supported the doge network, participated in supporting it and you think it's all a scam
lol sell the rally
Yeah sell the rallies
STFR
Hoarded some before it was cool but havenโt looked at it since.
Anyways crypto is a scam
I can only think there's some personal motive for you to think what you think when you've participated in the whole thing
What do you use crypto for
Give me 1 use
investment, speculation, gaming and I don't use it but there's social networks or payment methods
People like to say 40 percent of all USD was created in the last 12 months but Iโm sure itโs not far off.
That's all we need to know
just look at the balance sheet
Every now and then outlets will accept crypto.
But transactions are so inefficient
I wouldnโt be surprised if it was worse
mhm
slowly it'll become easier for them to adop the technology
Eth wanted to fix that butโฆ
You could play Star citizen for 1 week to offset the power to go through one transaction
it's around that amount, that's why people talk about the 40% minus the rest of expenditures
Back in the day Newegg accepted Bitcoin for a time.
And they will succeed, it won't be considered a security
PoS will be a thing
And we wonder why we have inflation issues.
But what dictates commodities around the world
Making $1 trillion every 100 days
same that dictates all assets
the 4 year cycle of liquidity
Bonds and inflationary measures don't matter if you control everything
USD controls everything
Debt controls everything
that's why we keep printing money and we find out it's going to stocks cause that's a limited asset
It's as real as money is
Debt isn't real, LMAO
Yeah it doesn't matter
Awkay I'm gonna play something, have fun guys
The USA can say they're making a new currency and then the USD is worthless, erasing their debt
Bunch of other countries did it
I just forwarded it to the top brass
