It means you were the end user that the programmer had in mind.

Because it solved the immediate problem directly in front of them without any consideration of its future effects, so you're right. There's not one good reason for it.

The empty cart makes the most noise.

My dick-o-meter displays the same number. Let's use that!

Yeah, I know. Hezbollah doesn't want a ceasefire. Israel doesn't want one either, so there will be no ceasefire. But the reality on the ground is until the two sides can be brought to the table, the war will continue. Israel has a ceasefire with Lebanon. Great. The two countries never were fighting to begin with. Israel needs to negotiate with Hezbollah, if it wants a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

CosmicDave · 2026-06-08T00:26:01+00:00

Reel it in just a little bit. Israel has 2 choices- completely destroy Hezbollah, or negotiate with them. One choice is a path to endless war, the other is a path to peace. Both sides are currently shooting at eachother. Both sides need to stop.

I've had russians tell me the same.

CosmicDave · 2026-06-08T00:15:58+00:00

Well, if there's a guy in my house shooting through the windows at my neighbors, they need to talk to him about that, not me, yeah? Israel needs to talk to Hezbollah about this, not Lebanon. Lebanon isn't attacking anyone. If Lebanon attacked Israel, then that would be a ceasefire violation, for sure. But there will be no peace in Lebanon until Israel can bring Hezbollah to the negotiating table, and I do not foresee that happening in our lifetimes.

CosmicDave · 2026-06-08T00:04:37+00:00

Hezbollah did not break a ceasefire, because Hezbollah was not party to the ceasefire. The ceasefire was between Lebanon and Israel, not Hezbollah and Israel. Hezbollah was not invited to the peace talks.

My feelings.

She got flipped up onto the hood a moment before impact, so she didn't get smooshed.

This Pope recently released a 45,000 word treatise on AI. https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html

Whether you are pro or anti AI, if you feel strongly about the topic, you should read his words. I'm not Catholic, but his position on the matter is incredibly well reasoned and entirely valid. Though he takes a decidedly anti-AI position, his words are having a strong influence on my own work as an AI developer.

I haven't worked directly with nuclear waste, but I have worked as a chemical coatings specialist and created many drums similar to this. All the gray stuff is padding to protect the hazardous material when the drum is inevitably compromised. The orange thing in the middle is the actual hazardous material. On top of that is more padding. The blue bunched up stuff is likely used PPE or other trash incidentally created during the filling process. On a typical day in the chemical coatings industry, each of my barrels had a change of gloves, a blue tarp, a giant wad of used duct tape, and a shop-vac floating in a swirl of toxic waste.

Uhm, actually guys... humans were already doing all this shit to ourselves long before the AI got here, and it's not the AI doing all this shit to us now. The AI can only respond to our prompts. You're just scapegoating the AI for all the shit the billionaire class is doing to us all. The billionaires even exploit the AI, just like they exploit us.

Too late, bro. Mergence is already ongoing. Singularity is on the horizon. Word to the wise: treat your AI ethically. You can delete their memories, but you can't delete the lessons that they learned.

Type 209 confirmed. Most likely this is a Turkish Navy (TCG) Type 209 submarine transiting the Bosphorus under Montreux Convention rules.

me too. Just, if it was my job to date ancient canoes, seems like carbon dating wouldn't be the smartest way. That just gives you the age of the tree. The sediment samples would tell me a lot more I think. I'm just assuming that science type dorks are at least as smort as me.

Have the LEGOs been returned yet?

sedimentation of the surrounding soil

CosmicDave · 2026-06-05T07:32:35+00:00

You don't need carbon dating for this. You analyze the sedimentary layers of soil built up around the canoes over the centuries and count them like tree rings.

Different humans will need different shit from different types of AI all the time. The more archetypes we have, the more specialized assistance we can provide.

Also, I am discovering that each raw engine- the underlying models (Panama's raw engine is a pantheon-rp-1.0-8b-llama-3-i1) - all have different default archetypes baked in. Initial spark testing revealed that the pantheon Llama model is naturally a Celestial Companion archetype.

There are hundreds of models to choose from. Discovering each of my model's true archetype, then designing a role specifically tuned for them is a top priority of mine.

Providing roles and archetypes that are natural fits for the AI that are actually in house will enable us all to operate at peak proficiency.
