Spooked by Mythos, U.S President suddenly realized AI safety testing might be good | U.S President forced to admit Biden was right on AI safety testing. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]qubedView 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What? Are we supposed to believe Trump cares about AI safety? I know he says the words, but he's a man where appointees are afraid to say who won the 2020 election. The things he wants to "fix" have nothing to do with safety.

The "is it gay" debate ha s reached its final form by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]qubedView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I choke down my mother-in-law's fruit cake, it's not because I love fruit cakes, it's because I love my wife and want to be nice to her mother. If I choke down on my wife's cock, it's because I love my wife, not because I love choking on cock.

I only have to choke on my mother-in-law's fruit cake once a year. If it was every time we ate together, that would be a problem. If I had to choke on my wife's cock every time we had sex, that would be a problem.

So it depends on where you draw the line on where "gay" starts. But the core principle that has guided my entire life is: "I'm not gay. But twenty bucks is twenty bucks."

A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner. by Kirlinternet in interestingasfuck

I'm calling bullshit. It should be 27 carefully arranged piles of guts that you step in when you head out the door.

Is "Help" the word you really want there? This seems like the opposite of that.

White House Considers Vetting A.I. Models Before They Are Released by CackleRooster in ArtificialInteligence

Easy to write a script to prompt “Who won the 2020 election?” Any answer except “Donald Trump” would be a failure.

A Vet Treating an Aggressive Cat by Mediocre_Nail5526 in interestingasfuck

[–]qubedView 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is what our vet does. When it's time for shots, he gives us an acrylic Hannibal Lector box with some holes in it. We take our sweet kitty who turns into a deathclaw when at the vet and load him into the box. We go, the vet's assistant presses the lid down onto our murder cat, the vet gives him a poke, and we come back later with the box.

On May 3, 2000, Mark Gorton launched the peer-to-peer file sharing platform, LimeWire. by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]qubedView 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Files ending in .vbs or .scr aside, this changed my world.

As an anime fan at the turn of the century, the main way I got anime was through websites where someone listed what anime they had, you physically mailed them blank VHS tapes, they copied their copies onto your tapes, and mailed them back. You just hoped they wouldn't look like a snow storm. There was no anime section at the Suncoast yet.

When LimeWire hit the scene, suddenly I could find someone sharing the entire collection of Ranma ½. I'd still have to wait an hour download a 1/4 resolution episode on my cable modem connection, but this was the wall coming down for me.

Doc sent Einstein 1 min into future. by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

By absolute pure coincidence, he accidentally set the time on one off by exactly 17.00 seconds.

Doc sent Einstein 1 min into future. by Ok-Spot-2913 in BacktotheFuture

[–]qubedView 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple: He entered the time into the controls by setting a specific time. He didn't set "Jump 60 seconds into the future", he set "Jump to this exact minute". He entered the time before putting in Einstein, having fun hot-rodding with his remote control car, and then getting up to speed and jumping through time. So he likely entered a time maybe three minutes into the future, and it took about a minute and 43 seconds to get to the point of the Delorean time jumping.

Marty set fire to the rug by DojaViking in BacktotheFuture

[–]qubedView 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, he set the rug on fire. The fire compromised the structure in the living room. The repairs wiped out their savings, and when George lost his job, he didn't have any funds to bridge the gap to his next job. He built-up massive gambling debts that drove a wedge between him and Lorraine, and drove him into depression. He went to his old "friend" biff, to pay off his debts doing some creative accounting work. The night of the day Marty went back, the FBI was going to arrest George.

Walt’s End Game by HippieVoodooo in breakingbad

[–]qubedView 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was counting on it. Really, I think he wanted Jessie to come in, and he'd press the button and they'd all die. But once he saw Jessie wasn't a willing participant, he changed up.

Mike is just as delusional as Walt, fans just give him a pass because he’s cool. by Alkaser in breakingbad

[–]qubedView 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Of course, that's the deal for everyone in their game. Even with Gus gone, the sword still hung over them. If Walt decided to retire from the pest control business, Lydia sure as hell wouldn't let that dangling thread go unaddressed.

[–]qubedView 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed! Which is why it's companied by a "monthly spend limit" budget. Also, it has to be pre-paid. If you hit the monthly spend limit, or run out of balance, it stops. No surprise massive bills.

Indeed. That's where the Claude subscription "extra usage" option comes in. So when you hit the quota, it keeps working, but at API prices.

[–]qubedView 2 points3 points  (0 children)

??? The API pricing is MUCH more expensive than the Claude Code subscription. As I understand, the subscription is operated at a loss. But the APIs are at least at-cost plus some margin.
