  • David Attenborough no longer allowed to play with Lego

    Jump

  • LEGO is one of the best companies with regards to environmental sustainability (surprising for a plastic brick company) and inclusion for everybody.

    Just don’t infringe their trademark… their lawyers are just as bad as you’d expect.

  • Ukraine has officially allowed a parade to be held in Moscow on May 9. Zelenskyy signed the decree

    Jump

  • It would be embarrassing yes, but more likely to cause panic and death than a “farcical chase”.

  • Little Secret 🤫

    Jump

  • Not paying taxes sounds pretty good when you look at what the US is spending tax money on.

  • Extortion Using Smart Glasses Is a Thing Now

    Jump

  • I think they must be pushing back on the term “extortion” in the title, when it’s really “harassment“. I don’t think they implied that it’s fine, just that the title was not representative of the actual story.

  • THERE IS NO SAUCE

  • Definitely Syndrome

  • highest grade

    Jump

  • Difficult to do it in a way that is physically consistent with a camera lens/sensor.

    I don’t see any of the expected issues with AI (garbled text, impossible geometry, strange anatomy, etc) in this picture. Of course it’s quite possible to just edit a portion of an existing picture with AI, and it will match the rest. So I may have been overstating the difficulty.

  • highest grade

    Jump

  • Very hard to get an AI to make an image that consistently blurred. Very likely a real photo.

  • Is time ~25% faster now?

    Jump

  • Am I talking more slowly? No, it must be time that’s wrong.

  • THERE IS NO SAUCE

    Jump

  • It’s Hal from Megamind for those who don’t know:

  • Take-Two CEO “Deeply Disappointed” After Years Without BioShock, Says Money Was Wasted

    Jump

  • Meh, suspension of disbelief is how fiction works. Surely in a game where you can drink a magic potion to throw literal fireballs in a world of flying buildings and homicidal robots, some plot holes aren’t that big a deal.

  • Take-Two CEO “Deeply Disappointed” After Years Without BioShock, Says Money Was Wasted

    Jump

  • Public sentiment is that it’s bad and stupid? The game is hovering around a 90% positive rating on Steam. That’s 3% less than Bioshock and 3% more than Bioshock 2. Surely it can’t be that bad.

  • The cheaper option

    Jump

  • Man, think of all the work to get a dead guy, strip off all the flesh, bleach the bones, and then turn around and discolor the bones and put rubber flesh back on for a horror film. They could’ve just skipped the whole cleaning part and used the original corpse.

  • I'm Scared About Biological Computing

    Jump

  • Okay, but who’s to say your whole body isn’t just reactions? Unless you define what consciousness is, it’s an ambiguous statement.

    Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you, but this is exactly the problem. People keep making broad claims without first agreeing on a testable definition of consciousness.

  • I'm Scared About Biological Computing

    Jump

  • Exactly, and I also think that people confuse consciousness and intelligence. A creature can definitely be conscious even with a simple (or possibly no) mind.

  • I'm Scared About Biological Computing

    Jump

  • In my experience, the majority of philosophers trying to define consciousness do it with pseudoscientific spiritualism. There seems to be an irresistible urge to distinguish humans as special, as if we would suddenly disappear by acknowledging we’re just funny thinky animals.

  • Need a AI update

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it caused an electrical fire when I tried to use the soldering iron on itself.

  • I'm Scared About Biological Computing

    Jump

  • There’s such a debate over whether or not cells in a dish have consciousness, and whether or not pure silicon representations of those cells would also have consciousness.

    So very little effort goes into defining what consciousness is, because humans are scared to find that there are really only two likely possibilities: almost everything is conscious, or nothing (including us) is.

  • Need a AI update

    Jump

  • Huh, my soldering iron doesn’t even have an on switch, just “plugged in” or “not plugged in”. I’m not saying everything needs to be that simple but we sure do overcomplicate things in our devices.

  • Gasoline costs 50% more in the US than it did before the Iran war

    Jump

  • Republicans are the ones who get hurt by gas prices the most, since they are the ones driving big trucks for no reason.

    Also it’s a concrete number they understand because they see it plastered on billboards everywhere. They can conveniently ignore rent because it’s not as “public” of a number.
