  • In the comics Thanos was straight up the right man hand/side hoe of the concept of death made manifest the whole point of offing half of all life was just to make mistress death happy (I think she actually ordered it). A lot of the original plot points of the infinity war and its buildup was lost in translation. Movie thanos motivations werent even half baked, he could have doubled resources and made a paradise for life with his motivations

    My favorite reference for what youve just described is 3blue1browns Binary, Hanoi, and sierpinski which is both fascinating and super acessable for the average non-nerd.

    The pressing point is that this recursive method of counting isn’t just a good way of doing it, but basically the most efficient way that it can be done. There are no simpler or more efficient ways of counting.

    This allows the same ‘steps’ to show up in other unexpected areas that ask questions about the most efficient process to do a thing. This allows you to map the same binary counting pattern across both infinite paths of fractal geometry with sierpinskis arrowhead curve and solve logic problems like towers of Hanoi stacking. Its wild to think that on some abstract level these are all more or less equal processes.

    Thank you for the explanation! I never really watched the Olympics enough to see them firing guns. I would think all that high tech equipment counts as performance enhancement stuff which goes against the spirit of peak human based skill but maybe sports people who actually watch and run the Olympics think differently about external augmentations in some cases.

    Its really funny with the context of some dude just chilling and vibing while casually firing off world record level shots




  • For all the verbal fellatio Office Space receives I was expecting it to be a god-like ultimate peak of human culture type deal but in reality it was a mid movie humor and plot wise. Its not bad but its very catery to a specific audience I wasn’t part of. I can see it being one of the first and few relatable films for white collar cubicle boglins at the turn of the century which feels like pretty much the sole reason of why I have to see it occasionally referenced 25 years later.


  • Ken Cheng is a great satirist and probably knows thats not how it works anymore. Most model makers stopped feeding random internet user garbage into training data years ago and instead started using collections of synthetic training data + hiring freelance ‘trainers’ for training data and RLHF.

    Oh dont worry your comments are still getting scraped by the usual data collection groups for the usual ad selling and big brother bs. But these shitty AI poisoning ideas I see floating around on lemmy practically achieve little more than feel good circle jerking by people who dont really understand the science of machine learning models or the realities of their training data/usage in 2025. The only thing these poor people are poisoning is their own neural networks from hyper focusing defiance and rage on a new technology they can’t stop or change in any meaningful way. Not that I blame them really tech bros and business runners are insufferable greedy pricks who have no respect for the humanities who think a computer generating an image is the same as human made art. Also its bs that big companies like meta/openAI got away with violating copyright protections to train their models without even a slap on the wrist. Thank goodness theres now global competition and models made from completely public domain data.



  • This meme was originally made for the !netsphere@sopuli.xyz community in an attempt to give a super niche manga artist fan place a little bit of engagement, I crossposted it here as an afterthought didn’t expect go be brigaded so hard by armchair memologist over the objective definition and location of the funny.

    You’re absolutely correct that you need to have read the Blame! manga to get the reference on this one to really enjoy, even if you did its not that deep. Not too much thought went into it I was high as shit just pasting icons with the ‘linux chad big energy beam, windows/microsoft wojak bad guys its fired at’. Im personally okay with not every one of my memes being super accessible or community bangers I had fun making this and putting the template together. If you get the humor or like the template great. If you don’t, oh well downvote say ‘where funny’ and move on with your life cause im not wasting my time explaining what a graviational beam emitter is to snobs who don’t care in the first place.
