@itsericwoodward on this one, for example.

Yeah, I don’t subscribe to that point of view either. But we are a diverse bunch, there is bread for everyone.

@lyse those are sharp, and sooo nice! Are you sure the windows need cleaning?

@movq “You know what this is?” A mass produced, Chinese made, rubber ducky? LOL. Sorry, had to do it. I had no idea who Maria was/is (have a vague one now). If you collect those, I can send you some! :-)

@movq enjoy your vacation! A nice read here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260603173839/https://www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2026/06/no-artificial-intelligence-is-not-conscious/687378/, if you get bored. :-P

@movq what are your thoughts after reading it?

@movq hahahahaha! I’d say “Princess Grim Reaper” is more suiting. 😂

@movq but why? Are they that mean?! 😅

@kiwu welcome, new slave! Err, I meant, beloved employee! 😅

@prologic I do! I paginate usually 10 times on HN. Their algo is so messed up (but it works, I guess) that not doing that will make me miss a lot of good, interesting, things.

I join the tired masses. So tired, I slept through my alarm this morning (something that hasn’t happened for over 20 years, easily), and wife woke me up asking “Aren’t you going to work today?” So yeah, I could have slept for a while more this morning, for sure.

@lyse LOL. Always ahead of times! Lyse, the man from the future! Sic mvndvs creatvs est!

@prologic woot! 🎉🎉🎉

@movq LOL. At least now you know your infrastructure and web server can handle some traffic. Consider it a test, in addition to the fleeting recognition. 🤣

@prologic that possible in any profession. Contrary to what @prologic’s think, I don’t think it is a human weakness. That some people are absolute and despicable assholes? Yep, I agree on that.

I mean, this is pretty awesome!

@movq oh, I knew it wasn’t you. It is just nice to see your hobby was noticed. :-)

Upvoted, @movq! See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48331329

@itsericwoodward noticed absolutely nothing. Happy developing!

@itsericwoodward that second one… 😍! Shadow is such a handsome boy!

@lyse love them! I hunt for those here. I enjoy watching it as it happens. Never that red, though.

@lyse I notice a theme here, but can’t quite place my finger on it… 🤭

@movq that was lovely! I especially liked the rain. I truly am a sucker for rain!

@prologic you went to sleep so early! It’s barely 14:19. 😂

@prologic my gosh, that’s some expensive lottery! I have the feeling I would win, but I never play. 🤭 Wife, on the other hand, does. East and west coast, with a bunch of her friends (a pool). They win nothing, for many years. 😅

@prologic so, “people with no inner monologue—a condition researchers sometimes refer to as anendophasia”, says the AI. Then “it is not a disorder: lacking an inner voice is simply a different, perfectly healthy way of being human”. Ah, so a condition, but a healthy one. Got it.

Again, I am not talking about a true monologue. If you have never thought “OK, let’s do this!” before engaging on an activity, then alright. Weird, in contrast to the rest of us, hard to believe, yes, but I believe you. Much of the troubleshooting, and creativity that comes with thought involves, well, thoughts. Maybe you are closer to AI than the rest of us, indeed! 🤪😂

@prologic don’t get mad at me, but the long block of text didn’t address any of my questions. 😜😅

It is not a monologue in the whole sense of it. But yeah, we all do.

@prologic when you think, that’s you talking to yourself.

@prologic let me ask you this. Would you want your children not to learn anything, because “they have AI”? Are you OK with your children using the AI for all of their homework? What sense will it make? What kind of future would that bring for them? We need to analyse the repercussions from all angles, even if AI were to provide absolutely flawless answers every single time. Even if AI were to become omniscient. What will it be of the human race then? What would we do? Serve the AI? Maintain the AI? Would we have found the true meaning of life then? To care for AI. Is that it?

@prologic I don’t believe you. For example, you are programming something, and you are planning the steps, or you struggle at certain point. Any train of thought, of any kind, has an addressing. “If I move this here, what will it happen?”. “Hmm if we’re to place this logic here, will it do what we need?“. “If I were to do this, will it work?” “Damn it, you are so stupid, James, how could you miss that?!!” And so on. 😅 And that’s just a minor thing.

Trust me, you do. We all do. Even the crazy ones.

@klaxzy TIL about “Board of Canada”. :-D

@lyse I would take that as a step forward! :-D

Ah, yes, it is!

@lyse 🎉🎉🎉 @movq’s is Atom?

@lyse maybe the time has come to dust off that https://lyse.isobeef.org/ page? ;-)

@lyse maybe you both are the bots! :-D That aside—which may, or may not be true, LOL—I agree too.

@prologic I have no doubts. Within that parsing thought, I wonder, where in the world is @xuu?

@itsericwoodward such a déjà vu! Breaking Yarn’s parser used to be a daily routine. Now it doesn’t happen that often mostly because I have learned what it will cause it to break, and hold myself back. But it is finicky! 😅

@thecanine such handsome doggo! Much wow! ❤️

@prologic oh, I see, convoluted pleasures have taken over your time, eh? One day I will grow up to be like you. I hope. Maybe. 😅

@prologic good day, mate! Your “hyperparticipation” is sorely missed! :-P

@movq hahahahaha!

@movq ooooh, yes! I am going to subscribe to that. Well done.

@lyse LOL.

@movq you keep the floppies, give me that clickyty keyboard! :-D

@itsericwoodward ahh, I missed this one! I have now added it to my calendar, so come 25 May 2027 I shall not forget. To the hoopy froods!
