Most doctors agree on a simple plan for life:
- get plenty of sleep
- drink plenty of water
- protect your skin with moss & lichens
- use only wild & sustainable magic
- avoid foods offered by weird fairies in the forest unless you wish to join them in their immortal realm
Stop whatever you're doing. New eel thread dropped.

I wrote a whole book about a dinosaur’s name change and anatomical transition.
I’m counting that as an egg crack.
T. Rex is the Man U of dinosaurs
There's probably somewhere available under the Benthic Treaty
Help fund Hallowed Ground so I can stop doing this sort of thing.

A clothes label in a pair of joggers that says it’s a size small in the US, UK, Germany, Spain, France and Italy and a size large in Japan.
lol lol
Listen, the new Draft2Digital charges are not so bad. All you gotta do is write a book, edit it, get a good cover, format it, upload it to their service, price it at $100 and get someone to buy a copy every year.
What's the problem?
I mean it doesn't feel very respectful to the residents and city of Tourino, which after all is a significant city which didn't ask to be lumbered with a fictional AI policing agency ;)
But your point that you need to be careful about how you gauge prohibited practices is an important but complex one. If you rely on proxies - as for instance the EU is doing for some aspects of the AI Act - then you will encourage gaming by AI labs (if an AI itself can game it you've already lost).
Turing Test is long debunked as a benchmark for anything useful. IIRC in Neuromancer, which is where the term comes from, it's about self-guided (ie not under human control) and they don't care about capability. There are other fictional equivalents (eg Algebraist, Dune, Aurora Rising) to draw from.
Having replaced the Bluesky PDS, what are my options for a client that isn't mid? In particular I'll click from a thread summary on my following feed and THE REPLIES FROM THE SUMMARY ARE NOT VISIBLE because apparently the bluesky view has varying opinions on which replies are important?
Click of death, Windows 95 startup sound, any computer SFX taken from a cyberpunk film, the kind of rounded "wom" that Hollywood uses to indicate it's a Big Computer Thinking Hard
It's Torino in Italian, so you do need the 'u' as well as the 'g'. You can't do it with spray stencils, you'd need decals of some sort, but I do like the idea of rocking up and just adjusting a few signs to announce your existence.
I just use "phase N" as a generic "it's a real thing honest but I'm not going to give you details". I think there's a Yes Minister episode where they're trying to sell a building used by a department with almost no employees but it'll be needed for phase 4 and they're not sure it'll be big enough...
I have been watching the docket here because I wanted to see if the defendants would ask for an award of attorneys' fees, a thing they are entitled to do under copyright law.
They did. They are asking for Lynn Freeman to pay them more than $3 million in attorneys fees and costs for this lawsuit.
Not the headquarters, but needed for Phase 3
You still need to be able to get back to the rest of civilisation in order to do the job of investingating, tracking down, and switching off rogue AI (and AI companies that might make rogue AI), so I suspect the jungle is a step too far.
I think the fact that it didn't really help last time speaks against the idea
Tracy Island? The main impact of advanced AI at this rate is going to be making it impossible to buy things online (including plane tickets, so we may need our own heliport / space launch facility).
I'm open to other cities for the headquarters, but one advantage of Geneva is that it has so many international organisations based there already it's not going to break getting another one. Which for instance Derby, which I adore and would happily spend years working from, might.
Apologies, Lyon not Nice. Point still stands
Erm, the French thing is a Neuromancer reference (itself possibly an Interpol reference but it would be silly to have another international policing agency based in Nice)
Oh. So there's actually laws that tackle pervert men entering women's toilets after all? Funny how he didn't feel the need to pretend to be a woman to do what he did. It's almost as if trans women aren't the enemy or issue here. Well that's that 'debate' well & truly settled then isn't it? *Sigh* 😑
I once again volunteer to run the Turing Police providing I (a) get a nice office in Geneva with a moderate travel budget and (b) get to travel at least once to low earth orbit with a bunch of gently aging French agents.
LOL @ "While some people might think it is their duty to support the country, there will be others who treat such a bond in the same way as any type of investment."
To avoid people treating it as a type of investment, maybe don't use an investment instrument? Just get people to donate money to war.
Article also includes Penelope and systemic misogyny.
"I rather suspect neither [loom setup nor weave pattern] is particularly concerning when magically weaving the fates of men."
Didn't know my day would include this gem (from alexandramakin.com/2020/11/01/e...).
A screenshot from an email where images haven't loaded (because who loads images in emails?). Text in black on white at the top says "rate your experience" followed by four square boxes with a broken image indicator and no way to differentiate them. Tag yourself. I'm the broken image that's just left of centre.
Adding a dimension of "time spent making the labour saving devices continue to work"
