And the already predicted heavy damage to the ozone layer from aluminium oxide from re-entering sattelites would be increased a thousand fold so somewhere on that list is learning to live without oxygen or sunlight.

One throwaway line about how the transporter works being disasembling the user (as opposed to say warping space or making the start/destination mathematically identical) lead to decades of ethical debate.

iirc you can’t expect not to be caught in random photos or videos but you do have a right for someone not to film you specifically, someone wearing these glasses is doing that in every interaction.

The greek gods are basically how a regular person would react if given godlike power too, yeh you might try and make thigns better at first but eventually unlimited power would mean unlimited boredom and you’d end up using magic to troll people which is basically the greek gods main passtime when they’re not focussing on one specific person.

Even in the anime the random skills are just horribly balanced, doesn’t he end up being forced to join that guild after a duel where he’s objectively the better fighter but the guild leader just has a random ‘actually I can stop time’ skill?

The prisoners dilema is a worst case scenario as you can have an infinite number of prisoners but just one can create the worst possible scenario for everyone else, the commons generally has the ability to sustain a couple of selfish people without breaking down. Everyone has their own threshold for how much abuse of shared resources they can tolerate before they too will begin to abuse those resources out of self preservation, society stops working properly when that process hits a tipping point that makes it self sustaining so it encompassas everyone.

Disproven multiple times, though actually something of a real life memetic hazard as people who are taught the tragedy of the commons tend to then act as if it was real thus causing it to be real. Its basically a way for rich sociopaths to justify their own behaviour by convincing other people to act the same way.

I feed them bird feed peanuts (unsalted, out of shell) I wouldn’t say they’re my friends exactly but they’re pretty comfortable around me and will land where I put the food before I’ve even walked away.

It was literally just secure boot, disabling secure boot fixed it…

This is why I keep a good chunk of my steam library downloaded locally and don’t buy always-online required games.

Awh I thought we were all gonna give funny answers. Since clearly they wash it ever since Greg made that candyfloss vanish completely and now raccoons everywhere are trying to figure out how to make things vanish so that no trash can ever stay locked away ever again.

At least we can have the ctharsis of staking them out in the sun and watching them burn like the vampires they are.

So that in the 1 in a however silly big number chance that they turn out to be real, they can’t run off between person 1 taking the mushrooms and person 2 taking the mushrooms. Thus producing a more objectively verifiable result.

Image recognition AI has been found to be vulnerable to prompt injection via text present in the image.

Meanwhile my country still does 99% of its internet on fucking coaxial cables.

Nepenthies is a type of webpage that generates an endless chain of links and pages to bait in content scrapers and feed them garbage that poisons their training data.

If it makes you feel better that AI is almost certainly doing a horrible job that will burden your former employer with unfixable tech debt in just a few years.

You could piss off the company running them though, don’t these cameras use AI? Get some QR codes that lead to nepenthies traps full of their own AI generated images of nonsense license plates. Waste their money and poison their training data.

Potentially (potentially doing a LOT of heavy lifting here) unethical, make a reasonably comfortable tiny person cell, take the mushrooms, put a tiny person in the cell. A second person who is completely unaware of the previous events takes the mushroom and we see if they can see the same tiny person still in the cell.

Stupid AI bloat asside, the important part of this article is:

lightweight, web-based Windows shell

This is the start of the ‘thin client’ we’ve been warned about.
