CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@glyph @pythonbynight Ha, just yesterday I was watching the documentary Ghost In The Machine, and it talks about similar things: Pearson developing the core tools of statistics for eugenics, about clustering techniques also originating from that, about McCarthy, about Sama, etc.

Watched the "AI" documentary Ghost in the Machine today (streamed on [kinema](https://kinema.com/films/ghost-in-the-machine-pvxg4p), no showings in my neck of the woods). It was Excellent. It connects the dots between eugenics as a byproduct of colonization, to the advent of computers, of Silicon Valley, and all the way to current day "AI" companies.

Lots of awful discoveries for me in that doc. Highly recommend if you haven't seen it.

Are the NBPy talks recorded? I couldn't find a mention of it on the website.

@davidgerard when my info stealing / crypto-mining worm helps itself to your money and cpu, it's a problem. But when Steve's slop worm does it, it's self-improvement?? Double standards!!

@glyph "Good news everyone! I've innovated on the classic novel Don't put your hand in the Torment Nexus by jamming in both hands!"

@laomaiweng i thought the company was dead?? Wouldn't hold my breath for a new model though...

Once again i must resist the urge to buy a cool split keyboard with extra thumb keys

Instead, happy cleaning day to my 13y old (!!) TypeMatrix. Some nail grooves, a missing metal cover below the spacebar, but overall not in bad shape at all!

Is this... the perfect snack? 🥹
