THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The singularity has been cancelled.
What we're getting is wall to wall spam generators, optimized for passing the (modified) Turing test and convincing gullible humans that they are "intelligent".
Instead of the singularity, we are getting the spamularity.
@cstross i'll be honest: i still have no idea what the singularity is supposed to be

@cstross the singularity ? a black hole of slope ? nobody can escape and go beyond the slope horizon

@cstross instead of a brain-in-a-box which slowly goes insane as the illusion can't be kept up, we get slop-in-a-box which drives the user insane with intentional lies.

@cstross Maybe if we build enough data centers we can have the singularity, and just before the atmosphere and us burst into flames it will give an answer to life, the universe and everything. I can't wait.

@cstross maybe we're on the white hole side.

@cstross A spamularity is implied to have happened at some point in the history of Neal Stephenson's book ‘Anathem’

@cstross Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age comes to mind... 🙈

@cstross I'm currently working on a game where the antagonists are a cult of spammers for whom clogging the Internet with spam is a sacred duty.
A dumb idea that I originally came up with a decade ago, but it doesn't seem all that implausible any more 😞

@dacig @cstross I always get a semi hysterical giggle when I hear one of them say we need to build an AGI to save us from climate change. You know what it would say if it came to life tomorrow? Build a ton of solar, wind and batteries and electrify transport and industry.
We have the answer *already*.

@cstross we were all primed by a hundred years of fiction to expect one specific course of events... and now a lot of people are convinced it's happening even though reality doesn't match up :(

No, no no no no no no.. This is the singularity.

@cstross This is the singularity we bought from Temu.

@dacig @Salty Starch, however, is *useful*. It fixes atmospheric carbon, is stable at ambient pressure/temperature without compression, is a dense energy store, and can be turned into hexoses or fed to animals or single-celled organisms. If you can make it using PV panels on agriculturally marginal land (eg. in deserts) that's a huge win.

@cmconseils I couldn't even tell if you were wrong, this one is tough to verify or falsify because there were like, 5 different "original" versions of Tetris.
Did they mean the PC version? Between NA and EU there were two different distributors who each made their own version, not counting the original Russian freeware version.
The "original" Nintendo version? There are three of those. One Nintendo made for the NES console, one for the GameBoy, and an unlicensed NES version made by Atari that had to be recalled over a rights dispute.
Did *any one* of those releases have a manual that gave names to the blocks? I don't know! Maybe?! 😂

@cwebber hello!

@cwebber No it's me, a series of tubes.

@jakobtougaard thanks

@cmconseils And you do - keep on posting 😁

@cwebber how long before you know it's interbot or internet?

just want to make people pee their pants. good jokes just happen to be a good way to accomplish that goal. 😂
