More shenanigans.

Tl;Dr AI suggested adding glue to pizza to make the cheese stick. Sourced from 11 year old reddit post.

These are all good fun to mock until someone actually gets hurt taking these responses literally.

I'm torn. I've thrown my share of shade at s and the rush to shove "AI" into everything, and even what they do well, one can argue if it's worth the cost.

But I've seen some useful stuff too.

Riding in passenger seat in the car, looking at my phone, and some nearby car (a ) tried to Bluetooth pair with me.

It nominally had the owners's name in the pairing request. That's a and problem.

I denied the request, of course, but was really tempted to accept, then play "Baby Shark" out their speakers.

Another banger from @pluralistic . I don't know how he consistently keeps putting these out.

There are too many great lines for a single pull quote. Spend the 5 minutes, read the whole thing.

This is brilliant stuff about and the nature of meaning.

Try resetting your password on Southwest airlines website.

It didn't reveal the requirements, until you try to submit, then it tells you which you failed, onesy twosy.

Space not allowed at all (tell me you didn't trust your input sanitization)

Non-alpha required, but can't be the first character.

Other shenanigans

Even the 's are on our side on this one. I had one create a fictional persona of an "average American" and it came up with a cisgendered midwest father of two, mildly conservative, that I could ask questions of. "He" fixes cars.

llama3-70b has internalized some of our more idealistic self-myths, of the US, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

Any building civil engineer tyoes out there who could opine on this?

Structurally, could you build a human habitation house out of name-brand Legos? Do they have enough structural strength? Would it be more or less earthquake safe than, say bricks(not very) or other materials?

How many layers thick would you have to make a Lego floor to support a 100 kg human?

I suspect that, with, it would be pretty strong. Maybe not tornado / hurricane proof, but one could add some reinforcing.

@arose62 @pseudonym I skimmed the video. they were aiming for Lego-only structure, but had trouble with making durable support beams. They seemed to think it was possible, but for insurance reasons ended up using a wooden frame for structure. So, not pure Lego construction. Waterproofing was also an issue.

Wife was talking to me about seeing geese with a single baby. I said "Oh the little one must be Ryan."

"Why Ryan?"

"Ryan Gosling."

"I walked into that one, didn't I?"

"Yes love, yes you did."

(And she's still married to me)

Easy Turing test.

Ask your counter party to swear and say something disparaging about a famous political figure.

All the commercially viable, Internet facing ones, have guard rails for polite conversation.

Swearing will be our captcha, our human shibboleth.

I'd love to see in place for all Americans. Like others, I agree that taxing billionaires, companies, reducing military spending, and such would all be good sources. But to my untrained math mind, it still doesn't add up.

Order of magnitude: GDP ~20 trillion $/yr, Population 330 million.

Assume $10 /person / day. (Not enough, I know) But even that modest number would be over a trillion a year.

That's 5% of GDP to buy everyone a nice sandwich a day.

Not sure how we fund bigger goals.

@pseudonym

I don’t know….that doesn’t sound half bad to me! Obviously 5% of GDP is a lot, but it doesn’t seem totally infeasible.

And a sandwich a day might not sound like a lot but $300 per month isn’t nothing, and that calculation included the whole population, including kids. So, if a family of 5 is getting $1500 per month, it seems like a useful chunk of money.

And the is on top of whatever people make working, no strings attached.

@pseudonym To be fair is a nice concept but it’s just a mechanism to avoid capitalism collapsing on itself. It doesn’t address the root causes of poverty.

If the government just printed money (and it could) to build houses for people until every family owned one with no mortgage all the calculations would seem different. But rest assured that the powers in place will get you fascism before that.

No, interstitial pop-up, I will not be recommending your software to my friends, because: a) I'm not in the habit of chatting about SaaS products with my friends at all, but more importantly, b) you are interfering with my workflow while I'm trying to use your software for $thing and prompting me now is the worst experience you could provide.
