Christ. Over saying ‘The Idiot seems insincere.’ At least that professor in Toronto said ‘good riddance.’ Nothing short of wailing and rending of garments is sufficient, for the school shooting apologist who got shot at a school.

I did a few calculations, I don’t remember the specifics of it sadly as it has been over two years since that point and I sadly did not document it back then (or I did, but on a partition I no longer have access to) but I remember having gotten roughly 2 1/2 years of possible runtime before an overflow. Obviously, I wanted to know if this would actually happen in the real game on real hardware.

I read the headline and figured, 60 FPS, minutes hours days, two and a half years, yeah that’s about 2^32 frames. But… this is Ultimate Doom. It was built for 70 Hz displays, and the “tic rate” is 35 Hz. 2^32 / 60x60x60x24 is two years and three months. 2^32 / 70x60x60x24 is just shy of two years.

I guess the PDA version this guy was running simply ran at 85% speed?

Hugged to death. Archive.org backup.

It technically is.

Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?

I despise every new term for Nazis.

They’re just fuckin’ Nazis. Don’t spread their newsletters.

In Stargate SG-1 this is how the Ancients write Latin.

Web rings are eternal!

Evidently.

This is what Yahoo was, in the 90s. Search didn’t really exist yet. They made an honest effort to link, describe, and categorize every site on the internet, and for a while it seemed like they were on top of it.

Accidentally reinventing Yahoo Directory.

Man, you can just scratch metal. Engraving only takes a steady hand.

Glad, at least, to see a headline that’s not “Eleven DEMOCRATS! vote for evil bad thing _{that every single Republican voted for}.”

Shit’s bad, right now. But 95% of the party doing the right thing, while the other party goes full fascist, shouldn’t sound like we’re the ones creating evil out of thin air.

Argumentum ad “we’re not calling it that.”

We gotta spy on everything to detect the bad stuff, but we’re only gonna detect the bad stuff! That’s different, somehow!

If the Internet Archive can see it, so can OpenAI.

Our Incredible Journey.

Wackadoodle nonsense is denialism. Don’t use the language of scientific inquiry to describe cranks making shit up.

Eventually being seven months ago, with Wan.

Two hard problems.

Oh no! The robot that can draw anything knows what a 1930s cartoon character looks like! This is surely why copyright law exists.

People. To avoid drawing any existing thing, the machine would still need to classify those existing things. Otherwise you could put in a description of Superman and get Superman. If the model contains the concepts of capes and briefs, you’re only struggling to summarize the logo.

No work has ever been pirated via AI. Not even the hundred-gigabyte models contain one complete book, let alone a movie. Treating any depiction of the character, for some JPG on the internet, like that’s a huge commercial threat, would be the death of all fanart and a complete denial of how culture belongs to the masses.

The absolute worst take on AI is demanding that copyright get stricter.

Nothing good is allowed to happen ever again.
