As in, it is perpetually 4:20 PM on the moon?

Oh hey, I just spotted another one!

We do! Ants have been involved in millions of experiments, and that is how we know so much of their society and entomology. We CAN communicate with them using pheromones and food sources. It’s actually quite simple, really. They just don’t have much to say beyond what we observe. It’s not like we suddenly start seeing unique chemical trails so they can communicate with their overlords, so I suppose they don’t perceive us as other beings in the world.

No but we can estimate the total age before cosmic inflation renders the universe cold and so far spread out so as to be considered “dead”

That timeline is around 10^27 years, of which we only right now have been around for about 10^9. So we are VERY young compared to the max age. On the cosmological timescale, we are still “being born”

Avast, yee scallywags!

I see multiple of these tailgate wraps in town on the back of trucks in my area. People in this area share and distribute MUCH WORSE SHIT than this mild piece of artistic garbage… I’m not saying it’s right, but it is protected speech.

Though we should hold running presidential candidates to a higher standard, and perceive this threat as it is.

What haven’t they done forever?

There was some Morgan Freeman movie about this exact thing, only they were bracelets. And the ring, in the movie, had some kind of 10-second recall time travel quality. Weird movie. But same thing!

This is what happens right before the major money holders abandon ship. There’s no way they don’t know this is business-suicide. I bet they got a big payday from some companies that paid Glassdoor to shoot itself in the face!

YouTube did it when Google bought them and changed everyone’s unique username to their Google account (real) name

I think that’s what makes Tolkien such a talented writer. Sure, he just wanted a nice character reference, but he managed to make it fit in such a way that truly did expand the horizons of Mordor to near infinity.

Jeans and a Jean jacket? Don’t even need a sleeping bag at that point!

Wait a second… That’s MY ip!

A fun idea to think about when original members of a species stick around through all of their collective cultural evolution

And our local galactic cluster is heading towards something ominous called the Great Attractor. It’s direction is hidden by the horizon of the Milky Way, but it is most likely another larger cluster of galaxies

Sometimes native English speakers are less fluent than second-hand speakers of English

That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”

I would wait for the cold months to pass. You’ll be paying more for heating, but if you play it right you can save on air conditioning this summer.

The difference here is that Zuck is not planning on inventing or revolutionizing anything. He’s just throwing more computation power at an already inefficient method of modeling AI.

The difference is that we can go beyond that limitation. Even self-coding AI will either solve a problem, or compound its own inefficiencies before asking an operator to help out.
