It’s tricky, since it’s moving at the speed of light, but I still find an icebreaker followed up by an invitation to a low-stakes social engagement to be the best way to proceed /s
Yes, but then China fucked us for a few years. They’ve since stopped, which is why the 16 year difference.
Tangent, but you don’t need to include the question mark or anything after in most urls. Definitely not YouTube links. It’s just YouTube telling itself who shared the info (you) and they use that to track shit. But the link works just as well without it, and you’re not voluntary spying on yourself.
Yes! Exactly! You had the next thought that I did.
Yes, but I knew that before watching Evil. I’ve been lucid dreaming for more than two decades now.
It’s not about the medium being used, it’s that AI doesn’t know what things are. You and I have a living library of how a 3D object works in space. When you train your artistic abilities, all you’re really doing is perfecting that internal library and learning the techniques to bring it out of your own head.
When you draw an apple, you bring forth the concept of an apple in your mind and then put that down on the page. When an AI draws an apple, it creates a statistically probable image of an apple based on its training data. It doesn’t know what an apple is, it just makes something that was good enough to pass the testing machine.
AIs make products like a dream, because just like in your dreams, there’s no reality to anchor it to. You hallucinate fairly similarly to AIs, even while waking, but your brain then adjusts its guesses using sensory inputs. Like why you can feel the pain of a stubbed toe instantly, if you see it, even though it actual takes the chemical signal some time to get to your brain. Or how your brain will synchronize the sound coming out of someone’s mouth with the image, even though that’s not what is actually happening. And an AI will never be able to do that, because all inputs are identical to it.
Look at text. Look away. Look again. Are the words the same? In a dream, they sure as fuck won’t be.
Yeah, but there’s a manufactured object that should have near perfect symmetry and doesn’t. It kind of looks symmetrical, but that’s not how symmetry works.
Was this on ich_iel yesterday?
No, CAPTCHAs these days track mouse movements and other factors. They make you second guess if something should be included because, as a human, that’s going to be something you do. And it’ll be obvious from both that hesitation and your squishy, inaccurate mouse movements that you’re a human.
A Chinese meal too succulent?

Not gonna lie, this shit is fun
This comic is also three years before the villainization of pedestrians with the invention of the term jaywalking. Truly bizarre how much we surrendered to big auto.
I despise the term higher level, probably because I’m a software engineer. High level in software engineering is used to describe the most big picture, abstracted detail view of a design. Deep dive or low level is getting into the nitty gritty. I understand that they mean “discussions at a higher knowledge floor” but just wanted to air my grievance.
Huh? Yes, I am neurodivergent. Why’d you ask?
For those who didn’t read the article. This is Artemis II. It’s a 10‐day flight around the moon (no landing). Flight is currently slated for Sept 2025. Flight date is contingent on an investigation into a failure of the Artemis I mission’s heat shield.
Additional interesting tidbits that I know about the Artemis project as a whole. Artemis III, the first manned flight to the lunar surface, has serious outstanding logistical issues that need to be addressed before flight can even be considered. This was brought to the public’s (and maybe NASA’s) attention by Destin Sandlin, creator of the YouTube channel Smarter Every Day
Artemis will also create a manned space station around the moon, and is the platform that will be used to establish a permanent base on the lunar surface.
It doesn’t disappear, it becomes a different element.
