#drivel — Public Fediverse posts

So, um, after some company wins the talking computer race by chaining a million GPUs or whatever together, at an unimaginable daily expense, built on credit, how do they pay to keep it going?
Or does winning mean they come up with the first financially sustainable model?
We've already got the thinnest silicon down to a few molecules. We can't just upscale forever. Quantum?

How do they pay to keep it going?

Ah, a not-so-brief declaration of war from Johns Hopkins' very own crypto-crusader 🏰🔐, armed with 2,246 words to remind us why reading #academic #drivel on #cryptanalysis is the new #insomnia #cure. Who knew cryptographic engineering now comes with a side of #ego the size of a blockchain? 🤔📚

“Execrable Drivel: The US State Department’s Cuba Report”

“Given the execrable contents of this untutored report, it is impossible to believe that Cuba is a country increasingly on its knees, its sovereignty and independence more threatened than ever. The ongoing oil blockade, power shortages, lethal disruptions to the health system, sanitation issues and the depleting effects of Hurricane Melissa, have made the survival of the regime shaky. The cloddish semi-literates behind the document, however, want us to forget that Cuba is impoverished. ‘Its material weakness was never the measure of its danger. Its power was always ideological, subversive, and parasitic.’ What power! What potency!”

Richard Dawkins says he "despises Trump", but that #mango doesn't fall far from the self-important bloward tree.

#Dawkins latest bloviation on #AI is reminiscent of a 10 year old that discovered sexuality. It's mewlingly pathetic disturbing #juvenile #drivel.

#Trump and Dawkins are both #deranged #overblown fuckwits who can't get enough of looking at themselves in the mirror.

😱 Oh no, the #robots are #stealing our words! Apparently, our #unique snowflake voices are all melting into a single, monotone slush of #LLM-generated #drivel. 🎤 But fear not—your "unique" #voice, crafted from those riveting "lived experiences," will totally save you from sounding like everyone else on the Internet! 🙃

Ten-second movie review... (spoiler-free)

"Thunderbolts" (2025) [1]

Believe it or not, this is a #Marvel movie that is actually, really, truly about people, and it succeeds on that basis. By far the best Marvel film in years, perhaps ever. See it; it's great. Fantastic cast, too. [2]

However, the post-credits scene sets up what looks like a return-to-form cliche CGI-fest that will be utterly unwatchable #drivel, like most Marvel films.

[1] No, I'm not appending the punctuation mark used in promotional materials etc. It's not part of the name, it's not pronounced, therefore it's advertising copy, and I'm not being paid to publish it, so out it goes along with the rest of the vanity typography some #marketroid came up with.

[2] Spot the in-joke about David Harbour's character.
