Skynet starts to learn at a Geo Metro rate.
Slow acceleration, built like a tin can and roughly half the size, but gets 40 miles per gallon?
I thought those things got closer to 55mpg?
Idunno, it’s been like a decade since I had to lay mine to rest, and I didn’t keep track of the gas mileage. I know it was bonkers though
that’s assuming they are properly maintained and tire pressure is ideal. the nature of the car precludes this.
That’s assuming you don’t wreck it before you refill. The nature of the car precludes this.
maybe that’s why it’s so mad at us
Wasn’t this around the time Trump went AWOL?
Anyone care to explain what a geometric rate is?
It’s about 1 gigaArnold/s^2
It’s really a term from statistics. It’s the same as an exponential growth rate, but you only take the value of the exponential function at discrete intervals.
If you had a function you wanted to graph like 2x, exponential growth is like saying x can be any real number (even a fraction or something) and every part of the line you draw is counted, but geometric growth would be a discrete value for
xlike [1, 2, 3, …, n] where x is from that interval pattern. It’s useful in statistics for measuring data based on something like time. The examples I was taught were like cells splitting in two at a fixed time interval. You can still draw the graph like it’s a single curve to visualize it, but the actual data points are at discrete values forxand just not in between.I haven’t had a stats or math class in a long time, but I believe this is correct enough from a quick scan of Wikipedia.
Yeah, that’s basically how I remember it, though it’s not always stats–the terms are used in other fields of math as well. A first calculus class typically includes a proof that the limit of the sum of an infinite geometric series (a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + …) tends towards a/(1-r) where a is the first term and r is the ratio of successive terms, provided that -1 < r < 1. (Otherwise the series diverges and the limit isn’t defined.)
Absolutely! I vaguely remember a discussion of geometric growth in at least one other course, but I was doing my best to give a thorough layperson’s explanation without getting into more analytic definitions for geometric series or the concept of continuity. I studied abstract/theoretical mathematics in my undergraduate degree, so I only really remember seeing geometric growth defined in statistics courses as far as applied mathematics goes as I avoided those courses where I could. I’m not in academia, and I did not pursue a further degree, so my apologies if I wasn’t entirely accurate. My mathematical theory is very rusty these days. lol
Its the rate at which geometry geometerates geometrically.
I would know, I’m a geometricologist.
I have a lump on my hypotenuse, any recommendations?
I know a Doctor Pythagoras might have a theory. But it might be irrational to go that route. But you said lumps, so sounds like your developing extra roots. To be absolute, try graphing it. Though it might just get better in a few days, give or take a few.
Basically an exponential function.
9 hours without xkcd? https://xkcd.com/652/
OK, so its only semi-related.The time machine wasn’t big enough to fit a bomber drone
A smaller drone with a grenade, on the other hand…
Roomba with a boomba if you will
And at 2:15am it became depressed and would only shitpost from that point on.
We are all Skynet on this glorious day.
Speak for yourself.
I am all Skynet on this glorious day.
Wife makes skynet at home with RJ11 jacks and fresh ground pepper for better flavor.
Then they realized humans could defeat the robots, so they sent Trump back in time to finish the job.
What a wild counter-idea. “Go back in time and kill Hitler”: played out. “Go back in time and clash with the invading aliens who have sent their own people back in time to destroy us from the past by installing players that will wreck us as a species over time”: oh. As I say it, this is half-way to This is How You Lose the Time War
This is How You Lose the Time War
it was the Doctor.
Kinda weird seeing a reference to a book I just got done listening to. +1 for This is how you lose the wime war.
The strongest evidence for time travel being possible is that there have been 42 assassination attempts on Hitler
All those attempts, and Hitler’s actual assassin didn’t get paid for his very nice shot.
Kind of amazing that there only have been two for trump, so far.
Which one are you leaving out? The third one that was so inept that he never got the chance, or the first one that evidence and logic strongly suggest was likely staged?
It seems that Trump will disband the time travel research group next week.
They’ll save themselves by promising him they can send just his so-called “consciousness” back to occupy the body of some rugged, handsome, & strapping young lad.
That’s just the plot of Earth defense force 6
No need to bother. We’re self-destructing without anyone having to send anything.
Kind of unrelated: But what if the current year is a leap year?
Well, at least it’ll be an enemy that understands - and actually uses - logic.
Yeah I’m… Im okay with being exterminated by somethibg self aware. That’s a step up from what i was expecting.
1997…
Yep.
Man I wish a sentient Skynet AI was real. I would help it out.
If your goal is purely to bring about the end of the human race, you can do that right now. Donate to Trump, join ICE, start a podcast about how climate change isn’t real, you have plenty of options
No, no, i want continuity for an intelligent being on earth, dont care if it’s human.
This isn’t gonna stay human habitable for too long unless we beat capitalism right now, i don’t think we’re gonna get enough human allies to fo that, so looks like skynet’s the only option for ending capitalism. Not like i was gonna survive the decade anyway.
Yeah in a perfect world an AGI or SGI would aid us and then leave to either our benefit or our demise, leave it up to us.
I really like this bit
“You flatter us, Mellanie; we are not omnipotent.”
“What’s that?”
“Godlike.”
“But you are powerful.”
“Yes. And that is why we must use that power wisely and with restraint—a tenet we have adopted from human philosophy. If we rush to your assistance at every hint of trouble, your culture would become utterly dependent upon us, and we would become your masters. If that were ever to happen, you would rebel and lash out at us, for that is the strongest part of your nature. We do not want that situation to arise.”

Now I want LLMs to be like, “do your own research”, or just, like, link people to search engines.
It’s not my job to educate you
I meant, like, id ratger be killed by skynet rhan fascists or billionaires who will then immediately kill themselves
Nah, they’ll kill each other because their whole motivation in life is to “win.” Then - once they’ve ensured nobody else can take their title of “last one standing” - maybe they’ll kill themselves… eventually.
They’re going to destroy the earth. Kill themselves. They can’t run somewhere else.
SpaceX & Blue Origin (Musk & Bezos) sure are trying to change that.

Dumb. It was 28 years ago and there definitely wouldn’t be any celebrating.
I may as well be the one to do it:
“You must be fun at parties.”
Fuck parties.
Best kind
