ASI Alliance founder Ben Goertzel says the alpha version of OpenCog Hyperon — the artificial general intelligence system he’s been developing for more than two decades — is already “self-aware” to a certain extent.

@allison I personally never played it. I only know of that game because of those hidden messages. I assume that's what the game is actually mostly known for. It taught me that there are some things intentionally left hidden for hackers/data miners to discover.

Sadly though, it rarely happens anymore because games are pretty much data-mined day one and anyone caught doing something like that not only risks losing their job but risks getting a decent job ever again. It's a true relic of a different time.

On Tuesday a federal court in California found that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligram per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children”.

@coolboymew Last year, ToTK was out of stock everywhere and I had to buy a card with a download code instead. But I'd imagine there is less hype for this game, so it's probably not that bad this time.

@coolboymew I need to wait for it to be back in stock. I want a physical copy.

@wjmaggos Unfortunately, nobody has faith in any third-party or independent candidate.

@icedquinn @dcc That's all I care about. If it's a really bad stain I would use something else.

@dcc @icedquinn I rarely have to deal with those types of stains that were in that video.

@icedquinn People have been waking up to their lies ever since COVID.

@icedquinn Molly isn't Chinese. They're an American company. The company is named after the founder's stillborn child. They suspect that the stillbirth was due to exposure to toxic chemicals. You can find their products in many big-box stores, including Wal-Mart, Target, and Meijier.

I don't use Dr. Bronner products because their toothpaste leaves this awful aftertaste, regardless of the flavor (I use Hello ToothPaste instead), and their soaps/shampoos smell like old women shampoo (I use Every Man Jack Instead).

Molly's Suds, an organic laundry detergent is somehow much cheaper than Tide and is at the same time, less toxic. Why are people still using Tide Pods?

@PurpCat @RatPoster @coolboymew That issue is way overblown. As far as I know, 8moe never had any problem with that. Granted, it's /pol/ board is nowhere near the most active boards, but still. The webring had those problems, but that was mostly due to admin incompetence and laziness, and CP spam on those sites happened during the COVID lockdowns when more people had free-time on their hands and decided to go after the bunkers of the most controversial website in recent memory.

There isn't that much of an effort to take down these sites like there was back in 2019 and early 2020. Most of the 8chan bunkers don't even have an active /pol/ board and most of the activity happens on the vidya and tech boards instead. People only hate these sites because of /pol/. It makes little sense to fedpost on a /v/, /tech/, or /co/ board. The secret is not to have a /pol/ board. Just have a news board instead if you want to talk about current events.

And if you think that imageboards are truly dead and are not worth the risk anymore, there are other places to discuss current events and niche topics. Forums still exist and there are a lot of niche and laidback forums out there like RPGCodex. I know that a lot of former 8/v/ users are on there. Even VarisHangout has a forum now. Sure, they do have usernames instead of complete anonymity (unless they enable guest posting), but forums are meant for discussion and not to make yourself look like a micro-eceleb, which I think is the fundamental problem with the microblogging format.

A new study suggests that your morning brew might be doing more than just perking you up — it could be protecting you from a range of serious heart conditions.
