I had one a few days ago for the first time in many years, it wasn’t as good as I had remembered.

I’d like to nominate those fuckin rats for second prize.

Anal consumption of drugs works just fine, at least I can report it does with ecstasy and heroin. But it’s not polite at a party.

TBF many people are more intimidated by emails. My mum, for example, is in her 70s - she’s okay with using a smartphone but she doesn’t trust ‘internet stuff’. Won’t put her card details in, doesn’t trust emails - which is fair, because a lot of emails are bullshit or scams. She grew up with telephones though and feels safer using them. Possibly why so many phone scams target older people. I’ve tried to educate her.

This attitude doesn’t make people dumb. A bit ignorant, maybe, but I feel like ‘dumb as shit’ is a bit harsh.

Yeah that’s a fair point. Thing is, I don’t know what to do about this shit (Gestures to world). I used to get involved in a lot of direct action when I was younger but I’m a bit old for that now. And I can’t really say that all the times I got battered by the police, arrested on airbases, shit like that - I’m not sure I made any difference at all. Some of those actions made headlines but those were mostly negative. And I know people say “Vote!” - but I do, and that doesn’t seem to help either.

So yeah, sometimes I just don’t use the stove for a while. I just feel a bit fuckin defeated.

Sometimes when it gets overwhelming I don’t do any news or social media at all for a few weeks. It seems to help my mental health, particularly when every bit of news suggests that everything is going to shit.

Yeah, I’m sure a lot of what they assume is shoplifting is actually internal. That’s going to happen if companies don’t pay their employees enough to cover food and rent.

Or you could just start planning to rob the fucker.

Didn’t he already do that in Highlander? Although TBF it wasn’t pretty.

I dunno, I stopped a while back, it wasn’t hard really. I’ve also heard that while they are usually fine with regular sums of money they are not to be trusted with large sums. Just word of mouth an I’ve got no proof but it put me off.

Yeah, I mean you could get gpt or something to write you a movie script. Maybe even get it to give you points on lighting, shots, etc. It definitely wouldn’t be close to a good film though, and probably some nonsense uncanny valley shit.

I don’t think AI will replace human creativity when it comes to art. It’s soulless. I know that’s a subjective judgement but it’s one I think almost all of us would make.

Most demanding thing I’ve tried on it was beam ng drive, it ran but struggled a bit. I’ve never yet been unable to play something I wanted to on it.

Yeah, I was shopping for lithium on phosphatase leisure batteries maybe two years ago and was looking at spending over £1000 per battery. Now those batteries are not much over £100 and prices still seem to be falling.

Don’t you just have to make time go backwards?

Damn, why’d you have to bring up the sun again?

Our first TV remote was on a cable! This would have been in the early 80s I think.

Yeah fair point. Boeing has a degraded reputation these days but at the mo we don’t know why it broke up. Probably never will. I’m kinda going on Occam’s razor here.

Great, more bits of dangerous junk in orbit. The fuckers should have to clear up their mess before it fucks up other satellites.

Yeah, same with me. But I knew the ball was pushed and rolled to the edge of the table and then fell, so I feel like I got the most relevant bit.

Tbh I’ve never been good at visualising faces, recognising people I know, retracing a route I’ve taken etc. This just feels like one of those things I’ve never really been great at.

Interesting. . . I’d say Gemma 2B wasn’t actually wrong - it just didn’t answer the question you asked! I wonder if they have this problem with other letters - like maybe it’s something to do with how we say w as double-you . . . But maybe not, because they seem to be underestimating rather and overestimating. But yeah, I guess the fuckers just can’t count. You’d think a question using the phrase ‘How many . . .’ would be a giveaway that they might need to count something rather than rely on knowledge base.
