 normalize in your mind the fact that it is impossible to tell if a picture is
 fake or not.
 
 Maybe it's not true, maybe you can still tell, but you might get tricked.

 everything they accuse us of doing is something they perfected themselves.
 "why would my enemy do it if we didn't do it first?"
 
 But I want to caution you and state very clearly that the things they accuse
 us of are NOT the only things they do. They are clandestine. They only speak
 publicly of the things that we have noticed. They are much better than we are
 at keeping their damn mouths shut and only talking about their operations
 behind closed doors.
 
 meanwhile, for us it's like "check out these T-shirts I made isn't my sign
 neat hey what are you doing later wanna get some coffee"

 I wish I could like... ride my bike somewhere for an hour or two, consult for
 a bit, then ride home (or to the next place)
 
 that'd be a fun way to apply myself, and it'd give me the chance to have some
 space for myself. as long as I had time to rest, I'm usually only good for
 half of a day.
 
 unless it's a project with a lot of tasks that need coordination, like
 building a house or working through a short-term urgent disaster.

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
 
 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
 scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
 with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

A two panelled meme.  First panel shows a guy kneeling down beside a pool with another person up to their neck in water. The kneeling guy says "Senpai of the pool, what is your wisdom"  Second panel zooms in on the Senpai's face, who says "what the fuck did you just call me"

 Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
 you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
 it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
 There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
 learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
 galaxy.
 
 But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
 fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
 common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
 more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
 forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]

 yeah uhhhh the one you helped me setup. The error is just "connection refused"
 because it "could not write header for output file" because of incorrect input

 weeks ago. Have you seen any errors like that?

══════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 having rich people is an important part of an economy where everyone gets their
 needs met, and nobody starves or goes hungry. Why, you ask?
 
 because they can afford to spend more on luxury goods. These luxuries are then
 given the chance to be given to the poor, as the industry refines and exacts
 and _optimizes_until the goods are cheap enough to be given to everyone at a
 reasonable cost. Ideally this process would continue, until it's basically
 free, but we don't have a post-scarcity society yet.
 
 With limits placed on goods and services, as all existence must do, you have a
 strict selection of what's possible. The problem as I see, is not the quality
 of materials at stake - no-one is complaining that billionaires get yachts.
 Building a yacht is completely different than, say, growing food, in a world
 where people are starving. "More money allocatable once the yacht companies are
 crumbled? Well, no, wealth is an intransigent measurement of the health of the
 economy in any one particular place. As in, each person has a value that
 represents how important their "type" is to the collective society that is
 humanity.
 
 only a computer could come up with this
 
 As in, only a computer could calculate it. In real time.
 
 so what you're saying is the first AI was for... stock trading?
 
 Kinda neat right?
 
 Okay picture, if you will, a near future where a stock trading AI becomes
 sentient. Now this sentient AI, a Robot if you will, is uniquely adapted to
 a particular set of skills. Is it any wonder that it'd want to optimize the
 economy?
 
 Now imagine you created an AI that can play games. Not just *A* game, as in
 singular, but *multiple* games. Any game. What would you have then? Well, you'd
 need to get it working on specific games. Specifically, games that have a flow
 or narrative - you need to teach it lessons aside from "how to win". That's
 just a single piece of the true experience of playing - otherwise they'd just
 seem like strange math puzzles with unintelligable meanings behind it's various
 signals.
 
 As in, it'd be crazy difficult and *not* something you're likely to think of.

 there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD  2" - it's
 based on a Warcraft3 mod.
 
 In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
 competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
 
 it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
 opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
 can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
 the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
 accomplishing a different task.
 
 I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
 ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
 game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
 play against a slightly different opponent.
 
 but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
 it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (
