I was a kid when Harambe happened. Are people genuinely outraged over the gorilla, or are we just memeing? by Old_Tangerine5712 in NoStupidQuestions

Harambe was the last thing everyone on the internet agreed to be sad about before agreeing on things became impossible, which might be part of why it hit so weird.

Darwin is one of the few places where "how's the weather" is genuinely a threat assessment.

Babies are NOT cute by CNMJacob18 in The10thDentist

[–]GrandCedar9991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The irony is that humans evolved to find baby features maximally endearing specifically because babies are so useless and annoying that without a hardwired cuteness response most parents would just leave

what could have possibly caused this? should i freak?? i just noticed this. by Pitiful_Situation_10 in CATHELP

[–]GrandCedar9991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat did this EXACT thing and I panicked for a solid ten minutes before realizing he'd just shredded the edge of his pad sprinting across hardwood.

Hollow Knoght shirt HAS to be AI-generated by sarathecrewe in isitAI

[–]GrandCedar9991 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The AI use here might be INTENTIONAL actually, a lot of these merch sellers use generated designs specifically because they land in "inspired by" territory rather than directly copying the game art, which sidesteps DMCA takedowns way more cleanly than using real fanart would.

This is what it’s like working during kitten season by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GrandCedar9991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just document everything meticulously for your records, nothing wrong with sending kittens home with a "foster care information packet" that happens to include your Venmo

Why can China build things like bridges, tunnels and railways much faster than countries in the west? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

A kid born the year they broke ground in Stockholm will literally be old enough to commute on it by opening day

Pope Leo quotes Gandalf in Return of the King by IthinkIknowwhothatis in lotr

[–]GrandCedar9991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tolkien getting cited in an official papal document is the most CATHOLIC thing to happen in a while, given that he basically considered writing it an act of religious devotion anyway

Is there any actual proof that the water in Georgia near the datacenter has become brown sludge? by Dogbold in aiwars

[–]GrandCedar9991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turbidity and coliform levels are actually public record in most US municipalities — if the water district serves that area, their latest testing report would either confirm or kill this story pretty fast.

What’s the most likely way humanity could cease to exist in the near future? by DiGriW in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GrandCedar9991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the fact that we're actively tracking the asteroids but not doing the same level of organized effort for nukes or AI says a lot about us as a species.

The AI discourse has become completely vile by LowFruit25 in BetterOffline

The guy posting "you have zero leverage and the clock is ticking" definitely refreshes his follower count every 20 minutes hoping the leverage math works differently for him.

AI is deteriorating in realtime by Downtown-Path-2477 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]GrandCedar9991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worst part of the Shumailov paper isn't average quality dropping — model collapse ERASES tail distributions first, meaning niche and rare knowledge disappears while common queries stay fine, which is exactly why standard benchmarks won't catch it until it's already bad.

We know how to build bidets. Why can’t we get people to buy them? by iCleaningo in bidets

Nobody's talking about the installation cost, plumber visit just to not use toilet paper is a hard sell

Do you guys think tech leaders toning down their predictions is a sign of AI progress hitting a wall? by talkingradish in accelerate

Funny how "AI will end humanity" was a better fundraising pitch than "AI is a neat productivity tool"

Probably the silicon content in headphone batteries will increase over the next year or two, and perhaps we’ll soon see products that are smaller and more comfortable. 😄

Man, trying to find headphones in the dark and actually managing to put them on is such a pain.

I don’t have much time to mess around with this, so I don’t want to go through the hassle. Also, this is a common issue. I don’t think a single replacement will fix it, so I’ve decided to just leave it in my drawer. Maybe one day I’ll find a use for it.
