When you say “daddy” do you mean your father? No judgement, but I don’t think my father would do that for me in the same situation. I’m British and the stereotype of us being squeamish about sex is still true to a degree. What nationality are you?
Rusty you giblet head.
Attend the 1934 Nuremberg rally.
Not keen on the politics of it obviously but you can’t deny the nazis knew how to put on one hell of a spectacle.
But the URL would drop people straight into what they’d be able to quickly realise was a social feed. Yea a lot probably wouldn’t then use it but a percentage probably would.
“That son of a bitch said he was wearing a catdom. Now I’m starting to think that’s not a real thing!”
Round trip that can make changes? Probably a few hundred or even thousand years ago, so I could give them modern technology, information about climate change, try to educate people on social issues, etc
What tech would you take back if you could though?
I had a nightmare that a video of me accidentally bumping into a woman and knocking her out of her wheelchair went viral, turning me into a social pariah. I lost my job, my family abandoned me and I got hounded by people everywhere I went. It was one of the few times I remembered a dream very vividly and was genuinely releived when I woke up and realised it wasn’t real. Don’t know where the hell that came from.
Not from a bar but I got drunk as a teenager and brought a pair of skis I found back to my Mum’s house. My old room was used as a store room when I moved out and they were in there for like 15 years. I helped clear it out, asked where the hell these skis came from and was reminded of the drunken find I’d totally forgotten.
Maybe. But I have a feeling it’ll be a dumb single mistake that’ll make someone say “ah, shit” just before we’re wiped out.
When the Soviets trained anti-tank dogs in WW2 they did so on tanks that weren’t running to save fuel: “Their deployment revealed some serious problems… In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog
History is littered with these kinds of mistakes. It would only take one military AI with access to autonomous weapons to have a similar issue in it’s training data to potentially kill us all.
Possible or not I don’t think we’ll get to the point of AGI. I’m pretty sure at some point someone will do something monumentally stupid with AI that will wipe out humanity.
My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don’t.
Yea I didn’t think about that but if someone said to an AI powered robot “Hey, can you shred my reports?” as they leave work they could easily come back in the morning to it tearing their junior staff into strips like “Morning boss, almost done”.
That first one reminds me of a part of HHGTTG where I think Ford starts counting in front of a computer to intimidate it because its like walking up to a human and chanting “blood, blood, blood”.
Well I mean if they’re not giving out wank screens that’s on them
Ah, technically. So is there a loophole? Just asking for a friend…
Do they have areas for private masturbating on the New York subway?
If I had access to the human ones I’d have those for breakfast but until then I’m just going to be eating bird period on toast every morning :(
Thanks for the post. I have now decided that my new year’s resolution for 2025 is to learn to lucid dream.
