As A Large Language Howitzer,

Couple years on and we double tapped an elementary school, claimed reason being because they asked AI for a list of valid military target coordinates in Iran.

Imagine Ghost Recon Breakpoint but even dumber and the government hasn't decided to blow it up yet

Nate flexing his Hamlet knowledge. Looks like someone got to go to school 5 days a week

The only job will be debugging. Luckily for me I like to use way to many mods in Bethesda games, so I'm good.

Can't wait for chatgpt to say there are wmds in Iraq

Slop? My favorite!

If a linguist did translation the way ChatGPT does, I'm pretty sure that's an actual crime under the UCMJ

"there's a lot of good there in terms of how we can use large language models to disrupt critical functions across the department." He might want to rephrase that one, cause I think it was more accurate than he intended.

USPS is only still nationalized by the skin of is teeth and the fact that it's mentioned in the US Constitution that the government should be running it.

Topic to hear about next episode: recent UK announcement of compulsory military service

I love that Nate found the Punished Snake of chiropractors

Prince Harry launching ChapsGBT

10/10 episode. Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonrestown Massacre mention.

Just a thought : if a truly intelligent AI is developed and it's used to treat depression and mental health... What if it develops those as well? What can diagnose and threat a suicidalGPT? Another GPT?

listening with baited breath to see how the fuck they get to that title

We need more Nate on the main show, I know he's super busy but he's always great in front of the mic

Top form thanks guys

canada is a great example of a place that half-adopted metric. for example, I worked doing rebar and lenghts and spacings on the blueprints were all in feet but the bar widths and a lot of the standard bar lenghts were metric. So for example, a lot of situation would call for a 29 feet 6 inch long bar at 10 or 15mm, spaced at 16 inch. Took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out that twenty nine six actually means exactly 9 meters but I think canada has a better excuse here specifically in the domain of construction because every dimension follows imperial standards. 16 inch wall framing, 8 feet tall walls along with 8x4 drywall sheets, and everything derived from those fundamental constants of the universe. Converting to metric as-is would mean people would spell out way too verbose unround milimeter dimensions; converting to round metric standards would cause a hard compatibility break with all the existing stuff, and more importantly it would cause a hard incompatibility break with the USA, which is our biggest trade market and basically the same country as us in a lot of respects going out of our way to enforce metric everywhere if the US doesn't would be in many ways the *opposite* move as the UK reverting to imperial as it continues trading with the metric EU block and rest of the world

It's cool that the right-wing version of "abolish time" gets published in a newspaper

As a large posting model I can't make a comment that is focused on making sense. However if you go over GPT you might not get it either but it's worth a try.

Yeah hello I would like 2 kipps of rice and if I could get about 60psi of ham and 14' 3 3/4" of white wine that would be great thanks

despite banning all foreigners my cretinous barkeep tells me he is not legally required to serve me my foot of ale. when will Mr so-called Sunak finally make it legal to hunt him for sport?

As we all know, freedom is about whether you get to use old timey measurements developed by some insane natural philosopher in the 16th century, and not whether you have the right to openly express your opposition to a genocide.

Riley's accent makes it really hard for me to distinguish whether he said "The musical you're in town", or "The musical urine town".

I for one eagerly await the overturn of the tyranny of the weights and measures act so we can bring back the glory of the 1700s where you could order a pint of gin in the pub and end up with your exploits depicted in a Hogarth print about the 'gin craze'

Haven't listened to the ep yet but I'm being made to read the high performance pod book and needed to tell some strangers who might be sympathetic.

*Guns 'n Roses voice*: 🎶take me down to the sexual city🎶

MBS is just making the Geofront at this point. The angels will attack any day now.

Is neom a Fallout vault now?

I feel that is mostly about doing warcrimes without dealing with responsibility. Once you can say "it wasn't a person, it was an automated system error" you can do whatever you want

In Australia, 'CHULLORA NSW' means 'you're not getting your mail cunt'

Surprised you guys didn't mention the IDF's AI target selection system in this episode

I’ve had a pint of wine in the white hart in Aldgate E or thereabouts. They had it on tap and we thought it would be funny to order 6 pints of Prosecco. The bartender decanted from a Prosecco glass into the pints and charged us for like 15 glasses. They had to change the “barrel” (sack) twice. Nobody died.

It's so cool that they're making the island-city from DEATHLOOP.

Rachel Reeves is my MP and our constituency is a swiss cheese of potholes - I know MPs don’t actually spend any time in their constituency but you’d think she’d walk around at least once and be like oh fuck maybe we should start spending money on things

Death: Optional That sleep of Death: You do you in Hamlet Little Death: Nowhere to be found

All this talk about automated military weapons and a no rules mad scientists orgy island puts me in a Resident Evil mindset

The only countries in the world who still use imperial measurements are the US, Myanmar & Liberia. You couldn't hope for better role-models.

The fundamental problem with doing AI for military intelligence is that it's going to be trained primarily on things saying that you should bomb stuff, so when you ask it a question it will always tell you to bomb something

Milo’s churchill impression 😭

You joke about comically large imperial units of alcohol, but for a time there was a U.S. chain of casual dining places where you could purchase a customary yard of ale. Now you can only buy half a yard of beer *Milo's Baz voice* because of wokeness.

Urinetown mentioned!

I now subscribe to the Milo theory of populism/pragmatism

gpt prompt: can you play a couple games of tic tac toe against yourself and try to derive something very profound about the nature of war?

Midnight release episodes are doing terrible things to my sleeping pattern
