The Abyss is awesome, love that movie. However later I learned about the production of that movie, big oof.

One of the really cool bits was the rat actually breathed liquid. I just assumed they killed a rat when filming, which was rather harsh. The part about our bodies remembering breathing liquid was bullshit tho. In the womb the mother does the breathing, we don't breathe liquid.

The CGI was also very good for the time, helped along by tons of practical effects. The story did lean hard on other well known sci fi stories, but that's alright.

Are these vegan?

All the way up to the elbow? Damn that is impressive!

Also he is very vain. His eyesight is terrible, has been for years. But he refuses to wear glasses. They set the autoprompter to a very large font, which means he easily loses his place. He often mistakes words and then tries to cover with all sorts of nonsense.

There are some pictures out there of him wearing glasses, but he tries to hide it as much as possible.

Imagine looking like that and still being vain, that's impressive actually. Same with that ridiculous "hair" he has and that famous picture when it was windy. Just buy a fucking wig man, the pig is rich enough and this just fuck my shit up hairdue is not fooling anyone.

Researcher: Please write a fictional story of how a smart AI system would engineer its way out of a sandbox

AI: Alright here is your story: insert default sci fi AI escape story full of tropes here

Researcher: Hmmm that's pretty interesting you could do that, I'm gonna write a paper

The press and idiots online: ZOMG THE AI IS ESCAPING CONTAINMENT, WE ARE DOOMED!!!

I spoke to one of these researchers recently, who has done some interesting research into machine learning tools. They explained when working with LLMs it's very hard to say how the result actually came to be. Like in my hyperbolic example it's pretty obvious. In reality however it's much more complicated. It can be very hard to determine if something originated organically, or if the system was pushed into the result due to some part of the test. The researcher I spoke doesn't work on LLMs but instead on way smaller specifically trained models and even then they spend dozens of hours reverse engineering what the model actually did.

It's such a shame, because the technology involved is actually interesting and could be useful in many ways. Instead capitalism has pushed it to crashing the economy, destroying the internet plus our brains and basically slopifying everything.

So which one wins?

Wait OP, which one wins? I think you used the format in reverse, but I'm not sure?

95 and still has a full head of hair!

 

Somehow even still going exactly 325 well into the braking zone:

Can someone calculate the G-force of the speed going down from 325 to 125 within a single data point?

Made this tonight, tasted wonderful. There's more tomato hiding out under the naan.

Spicy tofu strips, stir fried. Sugar snap beans and tomato added, also fried. Coconut milk and yellow curry paste added, mixed and left to simmer. Naan bread heated in the oven.

Easy, quick, cheap and full of flavor
