  • While we can hope for that, you gotta remember, the intelligence agencies are inherently pro-authoritarian, and anti-egalitarian (probably spelled wrong).

    The USSR wasn’t the actual enemy for the last century. Communism was the enemy. The entire defense industry was built up to fight the idea of communism. It just helped that the USSR called themselves communists.

    I don’t think for a second that any really meaningful classified information can be leaked without immediate consequences. And that is usually troop movements or locations.



  • You mean an AI that literally generated text based on applying a mathematical function to input text doesn’t do reasoning for me? (/s)

    I’m pretty certain every programmer alive knew this was coming as soon as we saw people trying to use it years ago.

    It’s funny because I never get what I want out of AI. I’ve been thinking this whole time “am I just too dumb to ask the AI to do what I need?” Now I’m beginning to think “am I not dumb enough to find AI tools useful?”

    You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.

    I’ve never seen him with any of his kids before.

    And if you think about it, he’s definitely a heartless bastard to do this.

    And now I’m wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I’ve seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.





  • It’s why I fucking love astrophysics. There’s so much handwaving because so much information is observed.

    But without the handwaving you can’t find crazy ass things like nuclear fusion being behind the power of stars. You find these really big numbers everywhere that make the “normal stuff” negligible.

    It not that the precision isn’t important, it’s just not always relevant at particular scales, like the scale of space.

    Man I’ll tell you, it certainly doesn’t feel like being an immortal wizard with a cool sword.

    It feels like being the foot soldier at the front of the spear line as Orcs are charging at you.

    And the formation is a triangle, and your the tip.

    And I would trust the devs behind me if I had time between everyone I have to talk to .

    I fucking literally went into this career to limit the amount of talking I have to do to people. $150k isn’t worth this level of stress for the remainder of my career.
