I’d love this.

Oh hey, that’s almost exactly the kind of cyberpunk dystopia that I grew up reading fiction about:

I mean, the Flipper Zero is just a computer with a few radios built-in.

I think the only one they share with most smart glasses is Bluetooth which might potentially have some vulnerabilities which could be exploited, but there are also expansion cards for the Flipper Zero that add everything from wifi and ethernet ports to high-powered IR blasters, so the real question is how vulnerable smart glasses are.

And the truth is, they’re vulnerable by default because they rely on corpo servers to operate like any other “smart” device. Any flaw in the security of the glasses themselves barely holds a candle to the fact that they forward everything to Facebook or some other big tech brand name with a financial interest in monetizing your data.

I get so many compliments on my fancy moustache, but nobody notices my tits unless I wear a push-up bra. XD

Yeah, the hype is really leaning on that singularitarian angle and the investor class is massively overextended.

I’m glad that the general public is finally getting on down the hype cycle, this peak of inflated expectations has lasted way too long, but it should have been obvious three years ago.

Like, I get that I’m supposedly brighter and better educated than most folks, but I really don’t feel like you need college level coursework in futures studies to be able to avoid obvious scams like cryptocurrency and “AI”.

I feel like it has to be deliberate, a product of marketing effects, because some of the most interesting new technologies have languished in obscurity for years because their potential is disintermediative and wouldn’t offer a path to further expanding the corporate dominion over computing.

Folks don’t seem to realize what LLMs are, if they did then they wouldn’t be wasting trillions trying to stuff them in everything.

Like, yes, it is a minor technological miracle that we can build these massively-multidimensional maps of human language use and use them to chart human-like vectors through language space that remain coherent for tens of thousands of tokens, but there’s no way you can chain these stochastic parrots together to get around the fact that a computer cannot be held responsible, algorithms have no agency no matter how much you call them “agents”, and the people who let chatbots make decisions must ultimately be culpable for them.

It’s not “AI”, it’s a n-th dimensional globe and the ruler we use to draw lines on that globe. Like all globes, it is at best a useful fiction representing a limited perspective on a much wider world.

Can confirm, letting the girls free after a long day is a special kind of relief that doesn’t have a direct equivalent for guys.

Take the feeling of stripping out of a suit where the slacks are tight enough to flatten your junk and the tie makes it hard to breathe, then bump up the sense of relief by 20% or so for a well-fitting sports bra, a full 50% for a push-up with underwire, and straight-up triple it to compare to a corset.

That does sound amazing, I’m envious. =3

It’s not just that though, the relief from compression is an added bonus on top.

The truth is that breasts are just more enjoyably sensitive than ballsacks. Even when I shave them smooth, the feeling of a soft fabric against them is still less than half as enjoyable as on my tits.

Granted, I’m sure that my experience isn’t necessarily universal and there are ways in which balls are more sensitive. I’d rather get kicked in the chest than in the crotch, for example.

Hard agree on the stigma against free titties, though. I’m lucky enough to live in a state where bare chests are legal and I’m looking forward to going hiking topless this spring.

Nope.

I’m an enby, so I can confirm that sleeping with a bare chest is better when you have tits than without them.

For the nut-havers out there, sleeping bare-tittied is kinda like having your balls shaved hairless and tucked into a perfectly-fitted silk bag before bed. It really does feel that much nicer.

Enby here with the rare perspective which can confirm that men will never understand this peak.

Sorry guys, but as awesome as it feels to go to bed free-balling, that satisfaction really doesn’t compare to having a warm, soft blanket tucked up around your bare tits (especially after they’ve been bound up in a bra all day).

Sleeping in clothing is just weird to me to begin with, but if I had to wear one article of underwear to bed then I’d take briefs or even nut-hugging boyshorts before I wore anything tighter around my tits than a loose nightgown.

That’s a whole 'nother discussion.

It includes rainbow thigh-highs.

NoP spotted in the wild! =D

Save everything you want to keep

Now that “Anti-woke” ideology has been revealed as a psyop by the Epstein files, I’m very curious to see if Trey Stone and Matt Parker will choose to reckon with their own contributions or if they’ll double-down.

I don’t like South Park because of that smug, sanctimonious tone either, but my housemates love it and regularly leave re-runs playing for background noise as they go about their day, so allow me to offer that same criticism from someone that has seen every episode multiple times and can offer something “real” to back it up:

The long arc of the South Park plot follows Trey and Parker’s political development from bitter, unknown California Republicans with sarcastic, nihilist tendencies to disillusioned Big Hollywood Conservatives with sarcastic, nihilistic tendencies being forced to reckon with the fact that their past attempts at satire have either had no impact or have actually reinforced the perceived social ills they pretend to mock.

Al Gore’s portrayal in S22E06 “Time to get Cereal” exemplifies this, even after he is proven to have been right about ManBearPig all along, this later appearance shows him as still being a huge weenie that cares more about being acknowledged as having been right than wanting to actually solve the problem. Having belatedly acknowledged the existential threat, Trey and Parker still can’t bring themselves to issue a call to action, and everything goes back to normal after they kick the can a little further down the road.

Thus, the smug, sanctimonious tone has been a constant throughout, as if they still imagine that the greatest sin is caring about things. They’re so heavy-handed about it that they lampoon this aspect of their own show in Kyle’s “Don’t you see,” and “Y’know, I’ve learned something today” closing monologues. Even when he’s telling a real political truth, like in the banned S16E06 where the text of the monologue is an admission that terrorism works and the subtext is a refusal to acknowledge their own contributions to post-9/11 anti-muslim discrimination in America, Jesus (representing mainstream American Christianity) gives falsely-sincere advice to the gingers (who represent all minority groups facing irrational discrimination) that they just need to get as violent as the most aggressive extremists so that people will respect them. Which is itself a smug, sanctimonious, and sarcastic way of suggesting that they can never be respected as people, only either seen as lesser or feared as an enemy.

And not just the resources, those orbits are going to be cluttered with slowly-deorbiting junk too. Until we get around to making something that can clean them up, we won’t be able to put anything else there.

If there are game devs that want to try making a game out of a fluid sim, I’d be all for it. Realistically, most devs will have to wait for better middleware that adds NPU matrix acceleration to existing game engines.

You can do lots of useful work with processors designed for large matrix calculus, but not a lot of folks want to run physics sims for some reason.

Absolutely. But at least that bubble is popping. Soon we won’t have to worry about AI mania anymore. XD
