Essentially, we seem to know that super intelligence can't exist due to computability constraints. (You can't build any computer big or powerful enough to actually be the AGI god they're trying to create.) But I don't know if we have any idea what the limit is before that.
LLMs (and SLMs) are very efficient at very specific tasks, far better than humans. But they are not better for a lot of tasks. It may just always be prohibitively expensive to use LLMs for certain tasks.
We've already run in to training ceilings where additional training decreases performance. We've run in to security problems (like guard rails basically can't ever actually exist because there are infinitely many ways around them, and those ways can literally just be solved for. See llm-attacks.org/)

We need to keep the #cats' food fresh on days when no-one's around to feed them at lunchtime and it's too warm to leave lots of food out at breakfast, which is what I've been doing. We were given a feeder so I've cleaned it up and am testing that it works. My theory is that it will at least keep flies off fresh food. If it goes well I might upgrade to one that keeps food chilled. …

Personalization systems are actually the AI technology I have the most beef with: I don't think we've fully reckoned with the algorithmic manipulation of information they do. Suddenly the info sphere is not an object you can interrogate, but you become the object, and the infosphere around us is made into a mirror.
Weirdly, LLMs used well are actually _better_ about this because they're somewhat more able to be interrogated (though naive questioning is not probing so much why as one would hope). But the breadth of the corpus and the freedom we have to query within it are currently new capabilities. Not to say that some companies aren't well on their way to researching how to personalize that into a reflection again. Google must be stopped, and I trust OpenAI just as little. People's chats still end up adding quite a reflective lens on things, but the raw access is still there if we want to make use of it.

In the end of the day, these companies probably realized that, just like with AI, they can somehow use scare tactics to attract venture capital.

The headline of the Science article reads: Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing By restoring some functions to intact brains from deceased donors, the startup Bexorg hopes to create a better drug development test bed for neurodegenerative diseases, written by Sara Reardon, published on the 20th of May 2026. Though, reading this Science article made me think: aren't we the brain? Am I missing something here? Now, of course the devil lies in the detail and the article makes it clear that this startup only restores “some functions”, which is certainly more complex in action than it is in theory written here, but certain language of the article makes me question the author's understanding of what is a human. The article writes: “Just a day ago, the brain was in a living person. Now, hours after its owner died, it sits on a cart draped in tubes [...]” What do you mean “it's owner” — isn't the brain it's owner? Isn't that where it's owner is? I mean, certainly the brain had no more activity, the person must've been declared brain dead by all standards before being sent to this startup, still it's odd hearing someone donated their brain instead of saying they've donated... themselves? Also “using a set of proprietary brain-sustaining machines” is a terrible sentence I always thought the people who don't donate their full body to hospitals are religious lunatics, but this is the first time I wrote something on my organ donor card.

The way people talk about Digital Circus makes the Rick & Morty fandom look well adjusted, R&M fans got a little too invested in a gag involving McDonalds and this fandom got mad that the showrunner they've been psychologically sanding down for 3 years doesn't want anything to do with them anymore. Social media was a mistake.

Make the most intense mint tea you can, add an obscene amount of sugar, and mix with carbonated water. Not only have you spared your garden (for a very limited time) from the worst of the weeds you planted, but you've also made a damn fine summertime drink.

I've just mowed the lawn for the first time in about 10 years. At our old place the landlord arranged a mowing service and here Dad had a guy who did it but £200 on a battery lawnmower is a snip compared to what he was paying. This way I can cut it high, leave a few sneaky verges and mow round the daisies 😃 Dad will insist on a socially respectable front garden though, no getting away with longer grass and wildflowers there. He won't be moved on that after decades of dedication to it…

FURBNET UPDATE: turns out they changed the soundfont in like 2008 but didn't update the demo mp3s, so i've been looking for two different soundfonts :P
anyways, it was fluidr3_gm with the "shitty pc" settings uncommented and some limitations on the polyphony i think

I seem to need to understand everything by way of a metaphor with something related to math or CS.
Exhibit A: I am currently reading "Religion for Atheists" by Alain de Botton -- and I find his argument very compelling, although perhaps there's some confirmation bias on my part since I've kinda been becoming...not religious in the usual sense, but more amenable to it and convinced that there's a *there* there, so to speak.
One idea: de Botton mentions the …

TIL that I've actually created a few "high impact" packages on NPM (with 1 million downloads per week)... Just got this email from them (see screenshot)
If each one of these would just pay me $0.001, I could actually comfortably dedicate myself full time to these projects (which has been my long, long dream job). But the system and social contract around open source is completely broken and so I've to balance my time and try to sustain myself and my family via other ways for periods o…

Level 9 in the first Diablo is some serious shit. It's when shit starts getting REALLY tough. I usually die hardly at all before it, and I've now died several times- gotta chokepoint and take it slower. Whew. Monsters come outta EVERYWHERE and they're shooting all this shit at you. Really rude bunch of dicks.

Table top exercises (basically TTRPGs for government and business) can be used to test plans and refine plans without needing to actually experience a natural disaster, security event, etc. They're used by militaries to practice war. I've been part of such exercises to test incident response runbooks I've written.
I've been reading a friend's thesis about Operational Art and Critical Philosophy in relation to revolutionary praxis. I wonder if anyone has ever run a table top exercise for an action (or for higher level strategy), and, if so, has anything they could share about it?
While organizing with the Seattle GDC, our disaster prep group ran a table to exercise. We chose scenarios from a set of county exercises for local disaster preparedness. Our GM (who worked in public health at the time) had to modify it a lot to fit our use case, but it still gave us a lot of insight.
Unfortunately, it was a number of years ago so I don't really remember the specific scenario or what came out of it.
I did look back at some notes that I found, and we did suggest creating a D&D committee (partially just for conviviality). Reflecting on this in light of reading this thesis, I feel like we we're really on the mark.

Content warning: Don't Pray for the Left (Parody)

I've long wanted to write something about the Nazi musician Tom MacDonald, whose recent song “Pray for the Left” was so outlandish that people enjoyed it for thinking it was a parody of itself. In that idea, I began rewriting the lyrics of that song, thinking I might some day make a cover but from the perspective of the left, that's what this post is about, tell me what you think:
