  • The technological advancement of the robots is jaw dropping.

    But, this is still just AI slop. Ultimately it’s no more useful than generating silly meme pictures to post on Facebook. It’s still worthless. It’s one thing to be able to pull off pre-programmed and choreographed dances, and another to actually do something useful. When you watch any of these robots actually try to do something useful then it’s clear that the companies still have a long way to go.

    As impressive as these dances are, even a simple task like loading a dishwasher is going to be orders of magnitude more complicated to train.




  • A few pieces of advice:

    1. Get off of online social networks. Online social networks are bad for your still developing brain. This is not a criticism of you, only that you are a teenager and have a teenagers brain, and that there is a lot of really good psychological evidence coming out showing that being active in online social networks is really bad for you. I recommend that you delete all of your accounts and just enjoy being a teenager. (I swear, after a few weeks you really won’t miss it as much as you think you might.)

    2. You aren’t over reacting. You are a teenager dating a teenager. If he’s not reacting to your texts we quickly as you like, that cool. So it’s not working out. Break up with him. It’s not going to get better. You really can still be friends at this point, and odds are your relationship probably wasn’t going to survive the post-high school-to-college distance anyway. Shrug it off, go buy a cute shirt for yourself and just enjoy being a teenager.









  • I jump between social networks every few years. My social network path has gone from AOL chat groups, to Yahoo News groups, to Facebook for a few years, to Twitter, to Mastodon, to Reddit.

    Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it’s not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.
