 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Most people have had enough of these lies and over exaggerations of capabilities, and fantasies of comparison to human brains, I am sure. | 23:45:48 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Snake oil is not well respected. You will struggle to garner respect for selling, promoting snake oil. | 23:47:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Sorry about the temperature there, comparing it to a brain is just setting off my BS detector super hard. | 23:50:50 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It is not really the idea that there are comparable elements. It's the fact you said it so casually, as if it is self evident. Like how Sam Altman says we should obviously build a dyson sphere and everyone laughs, but he's actually serious. | 23:52:32 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | It is a contentious issue, and people are beginning to pick sides. | 00:06:21 |

 pentane | does anyone know where to find docs on the internals of Soong? The links in the soong README point to Google-internal sites, and I'm wondering if these (or any other ones) fell off the truck at some point | 09:34:14 |
