I’m 29 right now and people say I look 18

I hope Im so lucky

When I was 13, a 13 year old friend and I went to a convention where my friend got an under 12 child’s ticket and I got a 15+ chaperone ticket. Now both of us get carded at bars and we’re pushing 30. People aren’t good at guessing ages.

It’s not a memorial lol. I’m actively using it. I just know that it would be strange to find.

Why would I buy an actual sharps container? I gotta take weekly injections.

Uh oh, I didn’t realize I ordered one. My dom is gonna be pissed.

Aside from adult items, it would be my collection of 400 keys all on a bunch of different connected key rings or maybe my rum bottle full of used needles.

This is pizza like a frappuccino is coffee. I’d try it. Not totally gonna hate, but this is food made by someone who only has a vague concept of pizza.

I live kind of in the metro NY area and I go to the city a lot. I’ve only ever heard “I got on the line” or “Are you on the line?” otherwise it would be “get in line” or “I’m in line for …”

Overall though, that article feels really dated. The famous NYC accent has been fading in recent years. I haven’t heard many of the features listed in that article and more still I’ve only heard from old people.

Ask them about it. That’s a wild title and it’s a well worn book. There’s gotta be some interesting stories behind it.

Ed Zitron’s podcast “Better Offline” recently talked about this. There is a small tech community called the Rationalists who believe AI super intelligence is inevitable and it will either accelerate humanity to new heights or kill off the species. These rationalists are actually a very prominent faction within tech and the AI industry. Apparently the language used within top AI firms is largely about the immense danger posed by AI super intelligence if any other group or company were to achieve it first. This creates an echo chamber that makes the people in the industry kind of lose their mind and misinterpret the capability of LLMs.

Everyone outside that faction recognizes that LLMs are just unreliable cloud software with limited use cases and that there’s no evidence LLMs could actually lead to any kind of intelligence.

Edit: Please, someone stop me from commenting on an AI post next time I’m tempted. I’m so tired of people replying, arguing with opinions I don’t have, based entirely around a hypothetical technology that doesn’t exist yet. LLMs make slop. Thats it. They hacked a company after weeks of 100s of instances being run, using old exploits published online. San Francisco will be underwater from climate change before LLMs can do anything more.

I’d use a teleporter with no hesitation. What’s important is my memories and sense of self, not the actual meat it’s in. I could find out I’m a copy of myself right now and not be bothered.
