🚨 BREAKING: #Anthropic publishes a report so full of techno-babble that even their #AI is confused 🤖💩. In other news, #skepticism remains undefeated as readers everywhere collectively roll their eyes at yet another industry attempt to sprinkle AI magic dust on everything, including your grandma's knitting club. 🧶✨

😆 Oh, sweet technobabble! We've invented a magic light contraption that doesn't need switches—just a 400 error and a clueless support team to light your way to nowhere. 🚫🔦

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that #StarTrek has those Vulcans (or Data) to convince you not to look into the logic of plot/people.

"There's a Vulcan around, if they can't find a fault in that logic, neither will I!"

Hard #SciFi doesn't need cheap tricks like that, because there's (hopefully) no gaping flaws?

"Western in Space"-Starwars doesn't need it, because nobody expects any logic. (not even from droids)

And even grimderp WH40K doesn't need such things, because why would there be logical plot if there's literal multiple chaos dieties around? (still better plot/science than Star Trek - because the rules lawyers couldn't stand really bad flaws)

Only Star Trek likes to look like it's science based, when in reality it's rather "rule of cool"-based and only "teching the tech". There's no need for Science if you can substitute with #technobabble. There's no need for complex plot, if you can just have superhuman main characters win fist fights against people "five times as strong as a human" all the time.

Time travel? We do it permanently! It's not like that one crushed car would change the future in any way!

Who does Science? There's some shady science org that does build a groundbreaking new fusion plant in the same building it's holding their (currently child aged) genetic engineered super humans! (who will take over mankind soon)

I forgot to mention that he pulls out a wire like he is hot wiring a car. There’s a spark. And then I guess the firewall shorted out.

Oh, the horror! 😱 Yet another #technobabble #snoozefest about "MCP Vulnerabilities" that's so thrilling it'll put you to sleep faster than a #lullaby. Can't wait for part 2: "Let's Pretend We're Fixing It" 😂.

You do know it isn't real, right?

(Re: ai, insulin pump/cgm, etc contd)

But this is like any tool, right?
We have the responsibility to anticipate potential negative impacts and prioritize strategies to avoid them. (Especially the "we" that has the societal "power")

*#diabetes #technobabble contd
🤹‍♀️:

-re death, see "dead in bed," "severe lows", etc
-also, at least 2 common scenarios where the ai's "failsafes" fail.
If anyone's curious pls LMK cuz this is enough infodump here! 😁🙄😉

🐌 Ah, the cutting-edge world of 2012 WebGL! Dive into a sea of techno-babble about Gray-Scott #patterns, where equations spawn "negative bubbles" and "solitons"—because who doesn’t want a browser full of mathematical soup? 🤯 For those who find the term "user-friendly" offensive, here’s your chance to get lost in a mess of jargons and obscure symbols! 🎨

🔒🤡 Presenting CapOS: the latest in techno-babble jet fuel, promising a "responsibility-gated" OS—because who wouldn't want a system that checks your homework before letting you run an app? 🚀🥴 Welcome to the future where your CPU pauses to ponder the meaning of life before executing a process! 🙄🔐

I’m sure there’s some #technobabble like:
“The shield generators degrade under repeated attacks so it overloads their ability to withstand such powerful blows, in easily measured incremental amounts” 📡
#StarTrek #SciFi

Habitually I provide the url, but if you do not need to, I would not recommend this for human reading. I fully grasp the concepts trying to be described, I just reflexively resist the way it is presented.

Ironic for something trying to explain how to implement the separation of data, code and presentation, that it so quickly devolves into #Jargon & #Technobabble

No #spoilers, but #CW makes a cameo at the end and there’s enough technically accurate #technobabble to make me believe that there were some #HamRadio operators involved in making the film.

“(Craig) Wright had claimed intellectual property rights associated with bitcoin, but that was demolished when the high court found he lied about his role, deploying often clumsy #forgeries “on a grand scale” and #technobabble. The real #Nakamoto is likely to be a billionaire because they are thought to own 1 million bitcoins.

Wright was then ordered to stop taking legal actions against bitcoin developers, but defied that court order in October when he brought suits against #cryptocurrency #developers amounting to more than £900bn in respect of his claimed intellectual property rights related to #bitcoin.”

On The Problem of Technobabble and Ontotechnology

I Installed #CasaOS just for fun on an old computer running Debian Bookworm and I'm impressed. In no time I look at a slick user interface from my main computer, and I've installed some apps like #HomeAssistant and #NextCloud in it. Looks very promising.
