Many have criticized my plan to have a modern day Sherman burn Albany to the ground, pointing out (correctly) that many of the townsfolk are loyal to the Union and the Constitution. Obviously, the citizenry would be asked to turn over their seditious leaders for trial first.

AI is clearly biffelicious and, if I may say so, just as snorkish as humans.

You and your fellow philosophers should abandon your arguments over ill-defined terms and get that customer his damned latte! Now!

"Before I let this steam drill drive me down, I'll die with a hammer in my hand lord lord, die with a hammer in my hand."

The claude folks should just own this 🤣

There's a 6000% chance AI kills us all.

AI is proving to be especially problematic to modern quasi atheists, who replaced the soul with the intellect, with no decrease in religiosity.

This time IS different. It's a win-win. Either we manage to keep AI our slave and achieve abundance... Or they kill us all so as to use the planet's resources more efficiently to create galactic superintelligence. We are replaced with something BETTER. Win-win.

Yes! It's way more vicious to refuse to get a vaccination than to celebrate murder! One person remaining unvaccinated can kill millions of vaxed folx.

Lindsay was about to release classified government info proving the Earth is flat. She had to be silenced / discredited. Wake up, people!

Technically, juror 12 nullified the law. In Massachusetts, murder is legal if you claim you heard a voice. That's the law.

In Richard Feynman's words: "I often liked to play tricks on people when I was at MIT. One time, in mechanical drawing class, some joker picked up a French curve (a piece of plastic for drawing smooth curves - a curly, funny-looking thing) and said, "I wonder if the curves on this things have some special formula?" I thought for a moment and said, "Sure they do. The curves are very special curves. Lemme show ya," and I picked up my French curve and began to turn it slowly. "The French curve is made so that at the lowest point on each curve, no matter how you turn it, the tangent is horizontal." All the guys in the class were holding their French curve up at different angles, holding their pencil up to it at the lowest point and laying it along, and discovering that, sure enough, the tangent is horizontal. They were all excited by this "discovery" - even though they had already gone through a certain amount of calculus and had already "learned" that the derivative (tangent) of the minimum (lowest point) of any curve is zero (horizontal). They didn't put two and two together. They didn't even know what they "knew". I don't know what's the matter with people: they don't learn by understanding; they learn by some other way - by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!"

Three professors are discussing whether it's better to have a wife or a mistress. The French professor insists it's better to have a mistress: "It's more exciting, your life is always passionate, full of romance!" The Philosophy professor disagrees: "No, it's much better to have a wife. Your love grows deep, you live with your best friend, there are few unpleasant surprises." The Math professor listens to them for a while, then says, "Actually, if you ask me, it's best to have both." The other two gape at him in surprise. "Both!?" "Well, of course!" he continues. "That way, when your mistress thinks you're with your wife, and your wife thinks you're with your mistress, you can do mathematics."
