I notice there are more and more Americans moving to Europe. Does that make them time travelers, essentially? #timetravel #timezones #usa #uspolitics #feminism #queer #lgbtqia #republicans #democrats #trump #antifascism #antifa

Bingo! Way to go! 馃ぁ
If we focus on speculative issues about something we don't have ( #AGI ) it looks like our unsolved problems today ( #ai #injections , #agents , #aisafety ) are actually solved. 馃憦
Anyone interested in research about predicability of solutions of the #travelingsalesmanproblem in context of #multidimension #timetravel ? 馃
They keep switching the rabbits running before the dogs on the AGI track. Now the doomers are worried not about one model reaching AGI but about agents from multiple models getting superintelligent.

The real question is HOW do we want time travel? Upgraded Delorian? Old-timey British Police box? Fancy art nouveau design with upholstered seat? HOW do we want time travel!
Our First Contact episode is out, at last! It's been a while, yes.

In this long-delayed episode, Damo and Mick experience an existential crisis as they realise they just ran out of extreme time-travel shenanigans to cover in the running order, and must become Enterprise podcast hosts for a couple of years or so.
Unless, of course, a new Star Trek series comes along and adds more episodes into the pre-Enterprise era canon.
Help us, Tawny, you're our only hope!

Ok, I heard some fair complaints about my schlocky previous post, and this one is much more serious. Ok, what am I saying?? It's straight-up sci-fi comedy with a retrocomputing subject matter, but I took it seriously.
Initially, I was inspired by CJ's wonderful blost about his transition from being a long-term mac user to now daily-driving Linux, and wanted to share my own experiences as a long-term Mac user over nearly two decades, with a decade and a half separating the two times. But then my internal Sotolf mental processes went off and reminded me of how elitist and anti-common-person / anti-consumer / anti-human Apple was, and I went in a very different direction.
I hope y'all enjoy the humor. :D
Minor #CW: some of the humor is of a USPOL nature. It's very light, humor and presentation-wise, but the implications are pretty dark, if you take it seriously (which you're not intended or likely inclined to!)

(I will happily add/remove you from the chorus upon request! :)

In the classic H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine, the time-hopping protagonist meets the Eloi, who live in a state of childish innocence. Everything they need is provided by invisible machinery. Maintained by the subterranean Morlocks, who eat the Eloi like farmed animals.
This is a wonderful metaphor for what hyperscale datacentres turned much of the net into.
