The anthropogenic world, as it exists is almost exclusively centred on our lazy, organic time-scales. That includes the Internet, its servers, and its services. To keep these systems working, there are speed-limits that have to be obeyed.

I'm kind of liking that Trump is doing this campaign tour. Every time he speaks, it makes him look weak, and reduces his popularity and the popularity of the Republican candidates that he is stumping for.

An LLM will never know that you thanked it. It will never know that you swore at it. It will never know that it made a mistake. It will never be happy or sad. It will never reason. It will never know what a word means. It will never know that language exists. It will never know that a world exists.

The Trump Administration: "Together we will defeat communism, socialism and Marxism" Also the Trump Administration: Red Carpet treatment for the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, whom Trump cannot say enough nice things about after hours of acting as his personal valet.

So, the richest, greediest, tax-dodging arseholes on the planet are pushing generative AI with the claim that it will soon make a happy Utopian future where wealth is irrelevant and there's nothing to distinguish those guys from the rest of us. And seriously? We're supposed to believe that twaddle?

Trump's opening his rallies by telling obvious lies about the number of people attending. So, the first thing everyone in the audience hears from him is an obvious lie, and they know he's lying to them. And they hoot and holler and applaud. They want to be lied to. They're enjoying it.

Got a response from Valve. They point at the Australian esafety code, but the credit-card option is the only verification option that they've been able to implement so far. Looks like other options could be in the works, but it depends on feedback from users. So, get going and submit tickets.

In order for Albo's scheme of 'opting out' of online gambling ads, you have to be *identifiable*. You can't opt out if you can't be tracked and identified, and that's where his wooly-arse notion falls apart. #auspol

When I was born, I was neither male nor female. I was clearly both. I was therefore ineligible for a birth certificate in the year and State I was born in. I was subjected to surgery as an infant to eliminate one set before I could be issued a BC. #auspol I think Whitten is full of shit.

Ew, I didn't realise System of a Down's drummer is a far right Trump booster. They're playing Melbourne next year and I wanted to go see them again, but it feels like giving money to hypocrites considering the politics of the lyrics. There's political tolerance and whatever, but MAGA does real harm.

From the developers of (a cheap looking action game), SURPRISING NO ONE is a post-apocalyptic 4X strategy game, with a hot girl on the marketing materials. Inspired by the less interesting works of H.R. Giger, you'll make morally ambiguous choices in the vain hopes of a cutscene with the hot girl.

This is so wrong: "In a statement, WA Country Health Service (WACHS) acting executive director Jeff Calver expressed deep sorrow for the family's loss, but said he understood there were no shortcomings in the care provided." Really? "No shortcomings"? That's awful.
