Iran is attacking Israel in retaliation for Hamas attacking Israel

Straight up reads like it was generated by a regular old Markov chain.

Iran is attacking Israel who is the one who owns the function of the founders important to me to be a proper country and a little bit of a spiritual successor to me to be a proper country and a little bit of a spiritual successor to those people

Your phone's predictive text is wild

Actually I think my phone's predictive text is it to me to be a proper country and a little bit of a spiritual successor to those people are there any other way to get out of the founders important to me

Are you surely not going back in the same way as me or is that a different story than the other way round and I’m just trying not too much of an issue to deal W or B or C and I’m just gonna go to sleep I just want you know I’m sorry I’m not trying I’m trying not trying I’m not gonna do that I’m just saying I know you’re trying and I’m not gonna be mad I don’t want you or to think I’m trying I’m trying but I’m just not really sure I know how you want me and I’m just gonna go out and be with my life I know that you don’t want you know that you want me I just don’t know how you don’t know what to say that you know I just don’t want you to know I just don’t wanna get out

I don't think you can see the robot call me when you're ready for walkies and it goes incredibly hard to get the bus but I am a baby and I will be able to make a decision about whether you are not the same barcode scanner history of science

Wait it both made up the event and backdated it???

Total retcon of reality

“Israeli” historians out of a job

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 60 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

every year is dumber than the year before it and I was wondering how we were going to maintain that growth, like surely there's only so much pure stupidity to go around? we have to be bumping up against the limits, right? scraping the stupid out of metaphorical tar sands and deep-water wells

oh me of little faith. innovation™ has brought us artificial stupidity and now there are no barriers, we're going to get dumber faster than mankind has ever before dreamed possible

Matt Christman's Curse

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 5 months ago

A sample size of one is way to small to be actually useful but I've always thought that the solution to the Fermi paradox ("Where is everybody?") is that intelligent life eventually fucks itself and its civilization decays or is destroyed.

Fermi paradox

The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life and the apparently high likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."

Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi's name is associated with the paradox because of a casual conversation in the summer of 1950 with fellow physicists Edward Teller, Herbert York, and Emil Konopinski. While walking to lunch, the men discussed recent UFO reports and the possibility of faster-than-light travel. The conversation moved on to other topics, until during lunch Fermi blurted out, "But where is everybody?" (although the exact quote is uncertain).

There have been many attempts to resolve the Fermi paradox, such as suggesting that intelligent extraterrestrial beings are extremely rare, that the lifetime of such civilizations is short, or that they exist but (for various reasons) humans see no evidence.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

yeah I think it's plausible that no naturally evolved species can stably industrialize. tech grows faster than brains, and hydrocarbon energy doesn't come back when it's gone.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

There’s something very bleak about a future where humanity survives, rebuilds, and hits the wall of having exhausted the resources we need to get back to where we could have built a sustainable industrialized society. A world humanity can once more dream of the stars while knowing we cannot ever get there, the weight of the past holding us to the earth we ravaged just as much as gravity itself.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 21 points 5 months ago

I wager our successors aren't going to wax romantic about us or our "achievements." I would think that the future myths about the ancestors who fucked everything up with their hubris and left the world covered in poison and plastic garbage are going to be something to behold

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it’s a lost future unless something unexpected happens. We could have been more though.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 8 points 5 months ago

If we get actual "can think better than a human being" AI - that will likely be the first baby step towards our destruction. And if develop quantum computing and then smart AI - I am 100% certain we will quickly destroy ourselves. A mention of Pandora's box can be a cliché but what else can I say?

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

eh, we won't get either of those things. we (probably) won't even destroy ourselves. but industrial civilization is already on the downward swing. the whole thing depends on fossil fuels and the math doesn't check out on their replacements. over the next couple hundred years, in fits and starts, we'll make our way back to an iron age. maybe with some solarpunk characteristics.

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago

People talk about things being idiot proof but they make better idiots every day

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 5 months ago

Hopefully this leads to a falling rate of stupidity, where it becomes more resource intensive to produce greater stupidity and this results in a major destruction of stupidity.

We're going to live out the backstory of Terminator for the dumbest reasons conceivable.

I can't wait to hear Joe Biden insist he saw the mushroom cloud where Iran bombed Tel Aviv, while signing the "Let's Nuke Iran" Act of 2024.

Holy shit see Elon this is why the OpenAI version of ChatGPT has the guard rails on it so that they don't accidentally do something like this and create a bunch of liability for themselves.

Dying in a nuclear armageddon because some rocks that we tricked into thinking hallucinated an incoming nuke.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

Historically we did come pretty close because a satellite monitoring computer mistook sunlight reflecting off a cloud for an ICBM launch, so really this isn't even our first rodeo.
