No. None of us will get out of this alive.

Can Hackerman tell me my IP please? I can never remember where that’s hidden. Thanks!

I’m pleased to inform you that you are wrong.

A large language model works by predicting the statistically-likely next token in a string of tokens, and repeating until it’s statistically-likely that its response has finished.

You can think of a token as a word but in reality tokens can be individual characters, parts of words, whole words, or multiple words in sequence.

The only addition these “agentic” models have is special purpose tokens. One that means “launch program”, for example.

That’s literally how it works.

AI. Cannot. Think.

He’ll attend.

I can reassure you that I, for one, don’t hate Minnesota.

In fact, I don’t think about it at all, because it’s a place halfway around the world I didn’t even know existed. I thought Weird Al made it up as a funny-sounding place name that has a big twine ball.

They’re massive productions, surprisingly expensive to make.

Much cheaper to post single sketches on TikTok. Or hire David Mitchell and call it a panel show.

I wouldn’t do it.

The risk is huge. To maintain good diplomatic relations they would probably forward the emails to US federal law enforcement (assuming they weren’t just sniffed in-flight), who would gleefully take a cheap W by throwing you in a Supermax prison.

Absolutely not worth it for the reward of feeling slightly cheeky for a few seconds before realisation sets in.

I’m seeing a hell of a lot of parallels to Thatcher and the Falkland Islands from when I was growing up.

It’s all a distraction, and they don’t care how many human lives they have to destroy. The astroturfing AI bots are, frankly, disgusting.

I’m really sorry that you’re suffering, and I hope your beautiful country’s recovery is swift and as uneventful as possible.

Tell me you’re part of the stinky “one-shower-a-day” gang without telling me

One of the reasons I enjoy being on an instance that doesn’t have the concept of downvotes :)

An upvote is an upvote. A downvote is nothing. I love it :D

There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there…

I mean, it uses WebRTC which is an encrypted format, I suppose if you have to go via a relay server that might be a possible attack vector but certainly not enough to worry about over something like a group photo.

For multi-recipient or if you’re worried about snooping you might want to try https://wormhole.app/ instead, which is instead a temporary file host, it’ll host files for 24 hours encrypted at rest (the encryption key is built into the URL you share)

Can’t comment on the nebulous “safe” but it works over the interweb, you join a “private room” using the buttons in the top-right and the devices should just see each other. You can also pair devices so they permanently see each other. I sometimes have to close and reopen on one device or the other for the devices to find each other.

To ladies and female-leaning enbies stumbling on this, ask yourself a question: do you want to look nice? Not what other people tell you or “expect”, what do you want?

If you find you do, then you can put some initial effort into working out a skincare and makeup routine. It’ll be slow, it’ll be messy, and you will have some initial misfires. Once you look good enough, write down the routine and do the same routine every day. Once you’ve got it down pat and into your muscle memory, it’ll stop being a chore and start just being that thing you do in the mornings, “putting your armour on” my wife calls it.

If you find you don’t care, which is absolutely 100% valid, then… you can just not. You don’t need anyone’s permission. I don’t. You don’t have to either.

720p, because I’m tired of pretending that’s “not enough” for the kind of videos I watch

Congratulations, it’s green!

Your user account has been flagged for fraudulent activity. Your stake and winnings will be retained in line with our Fair Gaming Policy. You are banned from this casino.

Too many people seem to forget that they can just do that.

If you lose, they’ll fall over themselves to “keep you in the game”.

If you win, you’ll mysteriously have broken some nebulous rule, and be banned. If you’re very very lucky, they might give you your $5 back, but they probably won’t.

Why aren’t they rioting?

The same reason you aren’t.

GOG is the platform formerly known as Good Old Games.

I have no idea if GoG refers to anything else.
