Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something. That’s a common thought but a provably untrue one.

For example, there are infinite even numbers, and none of them are 3. Not a single one. If someone claimed that generating infinite even numbers would eventually return a 3, you wouldn’t take them seriously, and rightly so.

But here’s the rub: you can also generate infinite even numbers and never return a 2. Every time you generate an even number, there are infinite numbers that it could be. Even if you don’t allow numbers to repeat, it’s not like you are gonna exhaust the amount of non-2 even numbers.

Just because a set is infinite does not mean that it will contain every possible permutation of something.

So back to the typewriters. You might say that while there are infinite numbers, there are not infinite permutations of a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare.

And that’s true.

If you were to say that a string of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare (or longer) could never be repeated exactly, the yes they would type the works of Shakespeare.

But then they wouldn’t be typing randomly.

Randomness repeats. Infinite randomness can repeat infinitely.

And we are not dealing with strings of characters the length of the works of Shakespeare. We’re dealing with strings of characters of infinite length. And there are, in fact, infinite permutations of those.

So… Yeah.

There’s no logical basis for infinite monkeys typing infinitely, inevitably producing the works of Shakespeare. Or fecal dioramas or alternate universes where Spider-Man is real or whatever else. Doesn’t hold water.

Only if you confine “ai” to mean an LLM.

Automation has replaced so many jobs already. More to come. Head in the sand won’t help anyone.

Fun fact, if John ever tries to buy enough stock to regain control of the company, everyone else’s stock will automatically divide to water down his shares because fuck John Schnatter

Chocolate, the kung fu movie about the girl with Taskmaster’s ability?

That’s a fun one, haven’t seen it in probably 15 years. I should do a rewatch.

Too bad they can’t just pick up a rando with mental health issues and lie, torture, and starve him in a room until he “confesses”

They are planning to buy

So far so good

or maybe just electricity

Uh oh

All the juice runs out if there’s holes; this will let a good amount collect.

A headline of a judge ordering something to happen doesn’t instantly make it happen. Still takes time.

Not at all. Other climate deniers, sure.

But if you ask Alex Jones about climate change, his usual line is that the earth actually needs more CO² because it makes plants grow good, and the globalists are tricking us into reducing emissions to destroy ourselves.

Auction hasn’t happened yet, the staff recently had to go around putting sticky notes on personal property to make sure it didn’t get included.

You’re assuming that it’s a reanimated animal

I’m assuming it’s a couple babies skeletonized and combined into a bone golem.

We are not the same.

The guy punching me clearly espouses a pacifist ideology, so calling him violent is absurd horseshoe theory nonsense.

Naw this is a case of the media tiptoing around him and preferring easily digested headlines.

He’s clearly not describing The Purge in the actual quote. He doesn’t want to make crime legal.

He’s describing Kristallnacht. He wants the cops to be able to punish anyone they want with as much violence as they want. He wants a massacre of anyone they declare a criminal, aka minorities and dissidents.

It’s so much fucking scarier than the bullshit headlines and it’s so fucking frustrating.

They call me Johnny Smallatoms

According to you

That you are, whether intentionally or unintentionally, toying around with white supremacist propaganda narratives.

That’s my point.

Narratives created to influence your mind and radicalize you.

No one is immune to these influences. Beware.

People made these exact same arguments about the inclusion of a black samurai in an Assassin’s Creed game.

A black samurai who was based on a real person who actually existed in history.

The game they’re playing is very obvious to anyone who’s actually paying an ounce of attention, and it has nothing to do with caring about historical accuracy.

It’s bullshit. It’s an excuse. It’s foolish. I do not suffer it gladly.

That’s literally just a longer way of saying that it’s okay if it’s magic but it’s not okay if it’s black people.

& yeah, I’ll hold my breath for people getting equally upset about white people in fiction. Any day now. I’m sure.

I can’t disapprove a hypothetical, I guess, but a hypothetical isn’t proof of anything either.

No. Fuckin stop it. Its unbearably stupid.

Historical fiction has existed for a long time.

Y’all ain’t out here throwing a pouty parade when someone adds technology or magic or monsters into historical fiction.

But black people? Existing? If that’s where you draw the line, it’s really clear why. Make all the excuses you want.
