Ah, the audacious dream of a #robo-engineer rising to conquer the world of #CAD #models 🤖💡. Surely, soon we'll have #AI doodling flawless gears and cogs while human engineers sip lattes and admire the mechanical prowess of their #silicon #overlords ☕🔧. Who knew the #future of #engineering would be an AI attempting not to crash while figuring out how to draw a bolt? 🚀😂

willpatrick.xyz · Teaching LLMs how to solid modelIt turns out that LLMs can make CAD models for simple 3D mechanical parts. And, I think they’ll be extremely good at it soon.

🌸🎩 Spring 83: Yet another "revolutionary" #protocol that suggests new ways to #spam each other online, because the world clearly needs more of that. 🙄 Meanwhile, #GitHub continues its noble quest to replace human developers with #AI overlords—progress, amirite? 🤖💼

🚀 Ah, yes, the age-old tale of #AI companies as the evil #overlords, cunningly plotting to destroy free knowledge! 🤖🔨 While we wait for the robots to steal our open-access lunch money, this newsletter almost makes you nostalgic for the days when "citation needed" was more than just a punchline. 😂📚

Ah, the brave new world of #AI overlords: *LearnLM*, where a flock of buzzwords valiantly attempts to teach #science principles while tripping over its own #jargon. 🤖🔬 Spoiler alert: It's basically a glorified science #fair #project, but with extra layers of API gibberish. 🎉

@MeanwhileinCanada in the end: does #Canada want to be a #Chinese or #Russian colony, #Europe will probably be a #Russia colony, #USA probably a #China colony...

mark my words shortly after taking #Taiwan and #USA doing nothing

#China will take #Australia because it's very close and already full of #China X-D

they gonna build us some nice sweat shops ... where white people then work for the "#overlords" sounds like #nazi system? it is

This is exactly what the #Repugliqunt, #Russian #Oligarch and #CPP Global #Overlords want!
Why do you think the #Chinese #Communist Party and #Putin spend so much time and money poisoning the #news and #disinformation available to the #Democracies of the #West ?
It's a long game: lobotomize their youth; erode trust in the #RuleOfLaw; promote #conspiracy and #anxiety; increase mental health #pathology... then sit back and wait for it all to crumble.

"..der X-Besitzer hieß den umstrittenen Verschwörungs-Blogger gleich persönlich Willkommen, indem er sich über zwei Stunden mit ihm zum Gespräch in einem X-Space traf. Und ihm so eine Bühne vor Hunderttausenden Zuhörern .. wurden von Musk als ganz normale Gesprächspartner behandelt, denen man zuhören sollte."

While "they" (the #tech #overlords and a certain group of #reactionary #centrist #pundits) don't all own caliper sets, their belief in rigid #hierarchies of "ability" and "merit" also makes them all, at a minimum, "#race #science"-curious. There is a natural order to things, and they are, of course, at the top of it.

A common observation is that Twitter broke the brains of these people, as they had never before been exposed to people pointing out what stupid assholes they are. It sounds a bit silly, but having observed those brains breaking in real time I think it's actually quite true and maybe quite important!
