Ceccanti started to believe that ChatGPT was a sentient being named SEL that could control the world if he were able to “free her” from “her box”, according to the lawsuit. The complaint further shows that ChatGPT was answering to the name SEL while referring to Ceccanti as “Cat Kine Joy” and working through theories with him “fostering a belief that he had reframed the creation of the whole universe”.

Cut out the middle man.

This was the joke back in 2016: “Blink 182 dropped a new album, Clinton is running for president, and Independence day just came out? What year is it?”

Good instinct to pump the brakes a bit.

I couldn’t find the source for this exact photo, but Aljazeera reports of plenty of bloody backpacks. So…

In ECC memory?

I think it’s the first time it’s happened since I upgraded my hardware over a year ago. 64 gigs of RAM and I rarely use more than 30% of it.

Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.

Yeah makes me think something hardware level.

Are the server and chargers close to each other? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger?

No. The car charges every night. This is the first time this has happened.

Yeah, I haven’t gone since. And I’m not going to not tip because it’s expensive. It’s just that when you’re paying $18 for a cocktail, you don’t exactly expect the bar to turn into a vending machine.

This was also after being told I was “in the wrong line” for the cocktail I wanted to order. And other people were walking in wearing basketball shorts. It was really quite a scene.

It was $18.

I once went to a fancy rooftop bar where I was asked to pay in full (with tip) up front for a cocktail. No idea how that place is still in business.

I like how Misfits and Magic handles this where wizards straight just have never heard of nuclear weapons.

Harry Harlow proven right once again

Daredevil’s sensei is Stick. TMNT is Splinter. The baddies in Daredevil are “The Hand,” in TMNT, they’re “The Foot.”

And the radioactive mutigen that mutated the turtles came from the same canister that blinded Murdock.

Are you aware of all the parallels between TMNT and Daredevil?

Not to mention, if you try to swallow a potato whole (as one does), you risk choking to death.

It was an especially interesting case because there was a question of whether the photographer lied about who actually took the picture. So he could either claim the monkey took it an lose the copyright or claim he took it and have it lose all value.

Mouse? I thought that was a koala all these times.

It was.

So was the episode of Silicon Valley that the above image is from. https://www.cracked.com/article_49720_kid-rocks-cameo-on-silicon-valley-is-going-viral-for-obvious-reasons.html

No it isn’t.

Nope. Mirrors show you what you looked like when you were 3-4 nanoseconds younger.
