yeah, "everyone gets the same mail service, no exceptions" is such a big social good

(admittedly i don't know how the logistics work out in the far north where you need like, bush pilots to access regions)

sucks that they're putting you through this
you shouldn't have to but i wonder if there's wording you can use to make them less likely to ignore this

anyway if you're really stuck i think your community could fund it uninsured? id kick in a bit. the affirmation and continuity of care matters

My dad drove us in a loaner Tesla this morning where Grok AI:
Turned itself on
Would not turn off
Instructed how to tell it to stop (did not stop)
Instructed how to tell it to play music (did not music)

After setting the volume to 0 and sitting in silence, an advertisement forced the volume back on

ah yes, the "holy fuck can ONE thing please just be simple and go as planned for once" effect

(the answer is "no")

pack tactics

ughhjjjj

but i would still accept that over like, stacks of torches and blocks and circuits/repeaters with very specific tick timing

im several books behind :(

but brokerage already cost as much as the actual books and now that cross border commerce is all fucky it's probably gotta wait a while...

Some Egrets, All Regrets @some.egrets.ca · 20h

well i mean in the real world anyway, i figure most people probably know scifi fiction AI but that's not comparable

it's the grift machine working as intended
most people have never meaningfully been exposed to the term and the sam altmans of the world have convinced them that they invented it

im honestly not sure whether i feel worse about "the idiot image classification machine ironically doesn't know what to do with advanced hand configurations, to your detriment" or "a bunch of actual humans decided your everyday life needs to be censored for their comfort"

Some Egrets, All Regrets @some.egrets.ca · 20h

i mostly object to having to build logic gates out of entire multiples of blocks using weird timing or positional properties

if you're not gonna give me first class logic gates as a builtin, you've already lost me

i know like three actors by name, against my will

Some Egrets, All Regrets @some.egrets.ca · 20h

for real i think the borderline cultural obsession with actors is kinda creepy and almost certainly bad for everyone involved

like they can never have a normal life under that much scrutiny and also sometimes one just decides that the vaccine-autism thing is real and an entire culture follows suit

some posts never go out of style

old birdsite post from @thomas_violence that reads: "I'm one of the dozens of people worldwide that live in a country that's not America"
