In my head, this is a deleted scene from their shore leave in Yosemite (Star Trek V). They're struggling to share a single tent, and this is the inevitable outcome.

A bid for immortality on the back of an LLM is just... asinine. What are they thinking?! That's like saying we can bring Shakespeare back from the dead because we created a very clever digital knot based on all his written works, and he can only speak to us from a web browser or text terminal. Do these animals really think they can just model their Reddit posts and live as a ghost in the machine after that?

I would love to hear what Kurzweil has to say about all this.

And just like that, the e-machine continues to fulfill its intended purpose: browse the internet like it's 1998. It's never obsolete, but you do need a time machine to take full advantage of it.

Legal. Ethical. Moral.

These are all different things, although they overlap in a Venn diagram of sorts. Ideally, you want everything in life to be all three, but that's not always possible.

Who is the guy that shows up on time and just wants to have fun, no matter the outcome; win, lose, or draw?

every bug in linux can be fixed with sudo rm -rf /*

To be fair, that does remove the bugs from the system. It just so happens to also remove the system from the system.

Exactly.

To put it another way, trusting AI this completely (even with so-called "agentic" solutions) is like blindly following life advice on Quora. You might get a few wins, but it's eventually going to screw everything up.

I was gonna say. There's none added because that's what they are.

"Oops, all preservatives."

Please let us yanks know how to do the same after you figure this out.

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
