with wood, the problem was with lignin which is tightly crosslinked, meaning that it’s insoluble and organism willing to eat it has to secrete some enzymes to break it down in smaller bits that can be absorbed

depending on plastic, this first step might be easier or even happening on its own. there are already bacteria that feed on nylon but nylon starting materials are easier to digest for them

no joke, he wants to live forever, he’s into cryonics and wants to test some random ass not-yet-meds on people to that end (see his anti-FDA stance and enhanced games)

llms allowed them to glide all the way to the point of failure without learning anything

you can have liquids with low surface tension that don’t evaporate immediately (water + soap)

helical antennas work fine too and look goofy as hell

i’ve used the same (800ml can) and this one works well. cookie tin is 15cm dia 8cm tall and it works, but size can vary a bit. you can copy or scale slightly designs of 13cm band antennas

wait i thought for some reason that pringles can sized waveguide would have cutoff frequency above 2.4ghz. nevermind, there’s something better because bigger aperture can get you more directivity like this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html i made two out of cookie tins and it works over 500m at least

pringles can is too small for 2.4ghz cantenna, it’s near cutoff frequency but just barely, you need 10cm-ish diameter can or shorter 16cm-ish can

about #1, not only this makes number of potential leakers higher (intentional or not - by opsec failures) but also this narrows down number of loyal, reliable people who also won’t fuck up the job real fast

but that’s not disruptive and works and makes altman zero money

I think it’s implied by that bozo that bowling place also runs a chatbot of their own

if someone is so bad at a subject that chatgpt offers actual help, then maybe that person shouldn’t write an article on that subject in the first place. the only language chatgpt speaks is bland nonconfrontational corporate sludge, i’m not sure how it helps

in one of these preprints there were traces of prompt used for writing paper itself too

maybe it’s to get through llm pre-screening and allow the paper to be seen by human eyeballs

nah, what happened is that they were non-psychotic before contact with chatbot and weren’t even usually considered at risk. chatbot trained on entire internet will also ingest all schizo content, the timecubes and dr bronner shampoo labels of the world. learned to respond in the same style, when a human starts talking conspirational nonsense it’ll throw more in while being useless sycophant all the way. some people trust these lying idiot boxes; net result is somebody caught in seamless infobubble containing only one person and increasing amounts of spiritualist, conspirational or whatever the person prefers content. this sounds awfully like qanon made for audience of one, and by now it’s known that the original was able to maul seemingly normal people pretty badly, except this time they can get there almost by an accident, getting hooked into qanon accidentally would be much harder.

japanese have 100v and don’t have this problem

you shouldn’t mix alcohol and zopiclone mate you’re gonna die from this

this is about exactly what you can expect from a man whose approach to science is take a phenomenon -> think about it really, really hard -> just know how it works and have an answer (without checking if it’s correct or not, he already thinks he figured it out and won’t change opinion ever even in the face of contrary evidence)

that ai cult also doubles as a get smart quick scheme

you’re right, he couldn’t be high school dropout because he never attended high school. he went to normal schools before that allegedly, but 8th grade broke him
