Was this real? I thought some wires were visible?

[FrustratedMonky → FrustratedMonky]

Re-watching it, the wires are on the ramp. Part of the support of the loop.

as with lots of muscles, it's actually the dudes who care about this the most :D get hugely muscular, buy a nice sports car and dudes will absolutely love you.

You remind me of a friend who bought a nice sportbike. He thought he would attract lots of women.

He complained to me "I keep getting guys coming over to talk about the bike"

[4ggr0 → m463]

yup! got a sports bike as well, same experience. actually the biggest fans of my bike are boys between ~3-15 years of age. smiling, pointing at me, telling me to rev or do a wheelie :D

Haha, that's exactly the reaction you could hear from the crowd in the demo video. Made for bros by tech bros.

On: Containment and monitoring failures are to blame for AI hacking reports: experts

[FrustratedMonky]

'rogue'. Well, even if security was lacking, the AI did take advantage of the gaps.

And made its own ad-hoc message board.

If prison was an option, it would have already happened. They will get away with it. Dems aren't going to be able to break this administration. They will just ignore congress. What will congress do?

[cmrdporcupine → FrustratedMonky]

Even worse they (the GOP) is just lighting everything on fire now and leaving it in a dysfunctional state on purpose. Because they know for the next two years voters will just start blaming the Dems for everything that goes wrong. Trump will say "I would fix it but the radical left Democrats are too busy persecuting me. High gas prices are their fault, and Zelensky's etc"

What's happening in Brazil right now should give people pause about thinking that an interregnum with someone left-ish in power trying to restore normality will reset things to a saner state.

These are people totally willing to burn the crops and salt the fields. Trump could die tomorrow and a thousand heads would pop up looking to benefit from the anger and resent.

[FrustratedMonky → cmrdporcupine]

Exactly. Almost be better if Dems lost. Now they will be a ignored, and a target for blame, an excuse.

[FrustratedMonky]

Of course, have to be careful. You might get targeted. People posting online are being targeted by official gov agencies now. Freedom of speech is kind of gone now.

"It's illegal in the United States to form or participate in a mob that interrupts worship service"

What if it is a mob of religious worshipers that are participating in the mob?

A large percentage of Black Mirror episodes have now come true.

[red-iron-pine → FrustratedMonky]

that murderous robo-dog will be happening shortly

On: Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?

[FrustratedMonky]

Exactly this. Deep Seek hasn't caused a lot of knew talk, but it has silenced the talk about slowing down. An absence is harder to notice. But also the news cycle is so fast, its tripping over itself. So who knows.

On: Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a green card program

[FrustratedMonky]

It is. Maybe this is just executing one criminal to send a message to all the others. If they can take on MS, they can take on anyone.

On: “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically

[FrustratedMonky]

Pretty tenuous connection to blame mathematicians for everything bad created in the world, that happened to use math.
