I mean, they seem to have that last part down.

I admit, it wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, either.

Reminds me of this trailer I came across the other day.

Computer chips, simplified, consume inputs of 1s and 0s. Given the correct series, it will add two values, or it will multiply two values, or some other basic function. This seemingly basic functionality, done in very specific order, creates your calculator, Minesweeper, Pac-Man, Linux, World of Warcraft, Excel, and every LLM. It is incredible the number of things you can get a computer to do with just simple inputs and outputs. The only difference between these examples, on a basic, physics level, is the order of 0s and 1s and what the resulting output of 0s and 1s should be. Why should I consider an LLM any more sentient than Windows95? They’re the same creature with different inputs, one of which is specifically designed to simulate human communication, just as Flight Simulator is designed to simulate flight.

Being in a tropical country, I imagine most/all of your trees are non-deciduous, as in they don’t lose all their leaves in autumn and then regrow in the spring? Imagine all the leaves drying up, falling off, and the mess is left all over the ground. Cleanup is a laborious effort. Leaf blowers speed up the process by blowing the leaves from trafficked locations and/or to more centralized locations that are easier to clean the debris. Helpful, noisy, and often environmentally unfriendly.

I read the headline and had one thought: let me guess, his job?

They want $7500 for an eyeball? No, no, no! I can get you one for $750. Free range, not caged. Good stuff. Mostly legal. Meet me in the dark alley tonight.

I mean, sure. Anyone who can grow an entire human body, bit by bit, can assemble a perfect wife. I mean, have a perfect wife.

The Island? I don’t recall it being a big hit, but I enjoyed it.

Me llama Han Solo y quiero jugar videojuegos de Switch2. Además, no me gusta pagar Trumpiffs. Theoretically.

ELI5 smuggling a Switch2 over the Mexico or Canadian border. Not that I would recommend that or anything. For science. And fanfic.

No, no, the black sharpie on the maps clearly indicated encirclement. /s

Please please please

I love this plan.
