I laughed at loud. These people are so pathetic; our enemies are numbskulls. They will kill us all and still not know hs physics.
COWEN: The stupidest question possible: Why don’t we just make more GPUs?
ALTMAN: Because we need to make more electrons.

Cat haters are, in my experience, a terrifying bunch. People who claim indifference to cats, meanwhile, are simply individuals who've never taken the time to get to know a really great cat.

Meet the Team: @ogulyurdakul.bsky.social is a PhD student at UCI. He's interested in how statistical signal processing methods can be applied in consciousness science and how different theories of consciousness intersect and differentiate. See www.arc-ethos.org/news, ogulyurdakul.github.io for more.

Is solipsism measurable?
Seven studies developed a self-report scale of how much one doubts that others exist (beyond one's own mind).
It correlated with loneliness, social disconnection, aggression, and problematic gaming.

Ok, robots, so you might one day be able to work out how to write a paragraph not totally unlike me. But you'll never be able to replicate what a contradictory scatterbrained idiot I am. And because of that, you will never win.
