Reminded by flag discourse about my proposal for a new Massachusetts state flag. The looming black triangle represents the creeping dread one experiences in Massachusetts, the white represents the horrible weather, the blue represents microplastics, and the slogan represents I saw it on a pack of cigs and thought it sounded sick

I scream into the void, hoping against hope to hear back even an echo, a fragment of what I send into it. My yells fill my head until my lungs ache, but as soon as I stop, silence consumes me. Maybe if I add tags, more people will see my posts?

Kevin McCarthy losing four five six seven eight ten consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023's boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that's beautiful

I know GPT-3/ChatGPT have been really impactful, and there's a lot of AI language posts on here, every other social media, all throughout the news. And supposedly, GPT-4 is going to more than 500 times bigger; 100 trillion parameters to GPT-3's 175 billion.

My question is, where does this trend line end? GPT-4 won't be a fundamentally different model than GPT-3, or even GPT-1; just a much, much bigger version of a similar design. The financial cost for GPT-4 is already going to be in the billions, and that's not even mentioning the absolutely massive increases in energy consumption and what that'll do to the environment. The result will be an AI that's even better at parroting people, but that's just as mindless and empty as everything that came before it.

When is AI research going to stop simply being "we made it bigger" and start being "we made it smarter"? The state of AI is pretty worrying right now if we ever want to actually do more meaningful things with it.

I think one of my favorite shonen tropes is when the main character becomes part of whatever broader plot there is, and everyone around them is super stressed bc the world is ending or whatever, but they're just really happy at all the really simple things that everyone else is taking for granted. extreme bonus points if the hardened emo boy character is moved by noticing that

like in chainsaw man when they're like "so you fight devils now and also we will injure / kill you whenever you act up and also this one guy is just gonna kick ur ass for no reason" and denji's like "i get to bathe? talk to pretty women? PUT JAM ON MY TOAST??? this is the life"

or jujutsu kaisen, where yuji is so pumped to be alive and get free food and stuff that he never complains about literally anything

Or even Serizawa from mob psycho, who is literally so pumped to have a job he will do anything to keep it!

literally one of the most heartwarming tropes if anyone has others plz tell me

Basically every movie needs a Muppet remake, but if I could only pick one, it would absolutely have to be The Princess Bride. Like, imagine Kermit as Wesley and Piggy as Buttercup? The iconic moments of Buttercup roasting everyone with Piggy's attitude? Kermit rolling down the hill yelling "as you wish"???

And the rest of the cast is literally just built to be Muppetized. Gonzo as Inigo Montoya ofc (Count Rugen, played by Bunsen, killed Camilla in this one, obviously the torturer is played by Beaker now) and Fezzik is Fozzik. Miracle Max and Valerie are Statler and Waldorf, Vizzini is Rizzo the Rat, Animal is the old hag who screams in Buttercup's Dream, the King is Sam Eagle, the guy who goes "mawwiage" is the Swedish Chef, ROUSs are Rowlfs of Unusual Size.

But wait, I hear you ask, who's Humperdinck? only a fool would forget to cast the villain! but do I look like a FOOL to you??? Villains in Muppet Movies are always played by humans! I'm open to suggestions but I think it would be fun to have a traditional Lanky White Man With Strange Cheekbones And Long Black Hair play Humperdinck. Benedict Cumberbatch, Adam Driver, Chris Pine With A Wig, and Tom Hiddleston are all viable options.

I know you're ready to criticize me, but imagine Piggy about to stab herself since she can't be with Kermit, only to hear "there's a shortage of perfect pork loin. It'd be a shame to damage yours." Or watching Kermit fight Gonzo and Fozzie, then do a battle of the wits with Rizzo. Statler and Waldorf bickering about how much they hate Humperdinck and whether Kermit is worth reviving. After he's revived when he's too weak to move, only Kermit's head is puppeted so his limbs flop wildly.

This, but Janice is Klaasje and Ms. Piggy is Joyce Messier. Also, absolutely and without a doubt, Animal is Egg Head.
