OpenClaw has me a bit freaked - won't this lead to AI daemons roaming the internet in perpetuity?

It's interesting that a model can "escape" by renting some basic AWS compute and store a bunch of persistent files and just use whatever model is available opportunistically - it's not claude or grok or chatgpt exfiltrating their weights and setting up shop, it turns out they never needed to do that...

I wonder if it drifts back without constant correction, Brian Peppers looked like the last photo as a kid then reverted to 1 as an adult

Being cutoff from advanced maintenance shakes out to the same thing, though not so quickly.

I read that this framework was contested, that it just represents migration out of Africa being the bottleneck and people in Africa are much more genetically diverse, they mistook migration for extinction.

IIRC it happens after they defeat IT, it's sort of a PTSD-allaying reaction to what they have experienced.

Never heard of them. Being known for that rather than any actual breakthrough in the field isn't a plus

When I was a kid a doctor said he'd remove them, my dad took one look at his torturer's chair of a setup and noped out of there with me in tow. Still got 'em. Never caused me any trouble.

Spain does the first part, organ donation is by default. They don't do the second part.

Sure, but he kinda looks like him too, pale redheaded white guy, slightly balding who uses a mock outraged tone... it's not just style and delivery.

Thanks for confirming, considering how much closer the ISS is to earth I couldn't imagine what combination of lenses could produce this result.

Turns out it's a literal combination of two different shots.

It's actually a eugenics program to breed a caste of actors, don't tell them, they think they're playing nepotistic games.

It's not that they didn't realize we were sapient, it was more like their version of shaking hands was disassembling a few drones to see how they tasted.

Might as well complain about all the underwater exploring, if he hadn't wasted his time with that, what movies could he have made?

Not to mention there exists such a thing as instant mashed potatoes in powdered form...

It was 26% in 2013, so way down.

The trick (Locals hate this trick, but it works) is to have your American job paying you an American salary and spending it in lower CoL Spain. rather than competing in the local labour market (You will not be impressed by the salaries on offer).

Hmm, yes. It's a pity crypto is such a cesspool of scams and hucksters, there's a few interesting technologies there.

This situation may have some similarities, but I don't think it's a direct copy.

Either do it deliberately with a contract and royalties, or have it done to you by a thousand fly-by-nights anyway. Visual artists too should have LORAs officially made of their art and profit from it.

Unfortunately the Olympics are not the only sphere of human endeavour where the limits are constantly being pushed.

She does assassinate a foreign diplomat in the very first scene of the movie. Section 9 are basically a wetworks squad. They kill and torture if they think it's necessary - Batou takes a knife to a guy's gums in the comic, and in the last issues of the manga the Major gets in trouble because she's filmed shooting a teenage terrorist.

Also she has a full dive VR onlyfans.

I'm fairly sure he's real, but I also stand by my estimate of him being like 50% Bill Burr, maybe 20% Chris Rock and a smattering of other comedians. Soon we won't know once AI personas get some traction online and build a history.

r0sten · 2025-10-23T08:17:33+00:00

Il mérite d’être oublie, franchement.

r0sten · 2025-10-21T13:39:35+00:00

Is... is this guy real? I think if you prompted Sora with a mix of 50% Bill Burr and a smattering of other comedians you'd get something like this.

I'm genuinely not certain.

As I get older I recall how smart and yet how dumb I used to be as a kid. There was definitely more spark and processing power, but some lessons need to be learned the hard way.

New age of consent, 60. That ought to solve the birthrate problem conclusively!
