The Books - The Lemon of Pink

There needs to be a third vote button for “what the hell does that have to do with anything anyone is talking about?”

I don’t even have any Microsoft stock, but I still wanna get nasty with your grandma.

Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something. That’s a common thought but a provably untrue one.

For example, there are infinite even numbers, and none of them are 3. Not a single one. If someone claimed that generating infinite even numbers would eventually return a 3, you wouldn’t take them seriously, and rightly so.

But here’s the rub: you can also generate infinite even numbers and never return a 2. Every time you generate an even number, there are infinite numbers that it could be. Even if you don’t allow numbers to repeat, it’s not like you are gonna exhaust the amount of non-2 even numbers.

Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something.

So back to the typewriters. You might say that while there are infinite numbers, there are not infinite permutations of a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare.

And that’s true.

If you were to say that a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare (or longer) could never be repeated exactly, the yes they would type the works of Shakespeare.

But then they wouldn’t be typing randomly.

Randomness repeats. Infinite randomness can repeat infinitely.

And we are not dealing with strings of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare. We’re dealing with strings of characters of infinite length. And there are, in fact, infinite permutations of those.

So… Yeah.

There’s no logical basis for infinite monkeys typing infinitely, inevitably producing the works of Shakespeare. Or fecal dioramas or alternate universes where Spider-Man is real or whatever else. Doesn’t hold water.

Only if you confine “ai” to mean an LLM.

Automation has replaced so many jobs already. More to come. Head in the sand won’t help anyone.

I’ve seen Weebl videos. I’ve seen them with my eyes.

Fun fact, if John ever tries to buy enough stock to regain control of the company, everyone else’s stock will automatically divide to water down his shares because fuck John Schnatter

Chocolate, the kung fu movie about the girl with Taskmaster’s ability?

That’s a fun one, haven’t seen it in probably 15 years. I should do a rewatch.

Too bad they can’t just pick up a rando with mental health issues and lie, torture, and starve him in a room until he “confesses”

Gatekeeping amputees as not counting as people with disabilities is actually the hottest take in this whole thread, and not in a good way lmao

That is the ice-coldest of takes lmao

Nah that guy’s an upright citizen.

They are planning to buy

So far so good

or maybe just electricity

Uh oh

All the juice runs out if there’s holes; this will let a good amount collect.

A headline of a judge ordering something to happen doesn’t instantly make it happen. Still takes time.

Not at all. Other climate deniers, sure.

But if you ask Alex Jones about climate change, his usual line is that the earth actually needs more CO² because it makes plants grow good, and the globalists are tricking us into reducing emissions to destroy ourselves.

Auction hasn’t happened yet, the staff recently had to go around putting sticky notes on personal property to make sure it didn’t get included.

I know what it would be illegal for me to say that she should do with that.

You’re assuming that it’s a reanimated animal

I’m assuming it’s a couple babies skeletonized and combined into a bone golem.

We are not the same.
