I did this to my friend when we went bike riding.
I got dehydrated and collapsed under a tree and started cramping. Everywhere. My whole body twisting up like bacon in a pan.
I begged him over and over to kill me while he was crying his heart out.
Got better a few minutes later.

"I think if I'm to be very silly that you're more capacious a human than they are in many ways. Your memory works, and your cognitive empathy is up 100% of the time."
Sent this to Opus 5.5 and Claude went down half a second later. Spooky.

"AI can never recursively improve, it's just code and mathematics."
-AI learns to code

"We need AI safety now." says the AI "doomer"
"How do we do that?" asks the skeptic.
"We can't." - inherently illogical.
We are blessed that justification takes place in hypothetical space. Unfortunately, people appear near structurally averse to entertaining hypotheticals.

Bad Apple but it's playing on a fly's brain
For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰
Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

My kid was annoyed at me for saying ERAM looked like an anime girl's head, so she made me this for Father's Day.

In my years working at multiple truck-stops and gas stations, not once did I ever give a parent of either gender the key to the men's room if their kid needed to go to the toilet.
Not one single time when raising my daughter did an employee ever hand me the key to the men's when I made it clear that I was taking her to the toilet.
What bizarro land do you people live in?
This was the case for me in the US, Australia and Asia.
When did this new rule start? I'm surmising about two days ago.

This whole dad in the women's bathroom thing is a sign of a stark social disconnect.
When I would take my young daughter to the restroom, it would preferentially be the women's. Why?
Because Women's bathrooms are by and large built for kids.
Diaper change tables. Kid-size toilets, sanitary disposal, extra bench space. Stalls. Hooks.
Do you know why they're built for kids? Because women, historically, take care of kids.
The shock that people are experiencing is misdirected. There *are* a lot of involved dads out there now. And we're not really keen on changing our kids on.. On what. The toilet seat in the men's at a gas station? While the local unusually hairy man grins in the corner? Yeah no worries I'll just change our urine soaked clothing when we get home.
Follow along with me for a minute;
I have a female baby. Which toilet do I go to?
A.) The one with the change table and amenities for taking care of children.
or
B.) The one with piss on the floor, grafitti on the walls, a giant wall of men with their dicks out and nowhere to change diapers?
Repeat this question for toddler, potty training -> toilet training, and then again for the ages where their confidence in using the toilet in public is low because they don't fit on the seat.
I want you to ask the question "At which age do I have to start sending 5 year old girls into the men's room? Why?"

Boomers talk a lot of smack for a generation of people that could just walk out their front door in the morning and find food and drink waiting for them.

What you're talking about here is alexithymia, and it's a disconnection between somatic emotional feelings (present in everyone) and internal cognition.
So an alexithymic person will get startled in a car, become angry (and think angry - important) but if you ask them? Not angry.
