L9[07:52:55] <m8tys> Hello?

L10[07:53:13] <packbart> aye

L11[07:53:18] <packbart> !mission

L12[07:53:19] <LunchBot> Your campaign to incorporate more 'atomic' things into your space program meets with triumphal success; whole fleets are commissioned, and you get to pilot the first production vehicle. Your death sentence is commuted due to budget cuts caused as a result of your crimes. Your new life sentence (without parole) is to teach javascript to the worst offenders in the local juvenile detention center.

L13[07:53:49] <m8tys> !mission

L14[07:53:49] <LunchBot> For some reason you have every spanner except the one that fits everything. And thus the world was doomed.

L15[07:54:05] <packbart> I'll teach them how to control whole fleets of vessels with Javascript

L16[07:54:09] <m8tys> this is pretty cool

L17[07:54:27] <packbart> well, it's this channels's main amusement ;)

L18[07:54:35] <packbart> that and adding mission/outcomes

L19[07:54:49] <m8tys> I meant irc in general but the bot's fun too lol

L27[11:14:18] <Azander> !mission

L28[11:14:18] <LunchBot> You weld a convict into a submarine to explore anomalies in an ocean of blood. Val crashes the success party.

L29[11:26:08] <Mat2ch> !outcome add Vall crashes into your success party.

L30[11:26:09] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Vall crashes into your success party.

L36[14:52:53] <FLHerne> .outcome add You run out of memory and crash.

L37[14:52:53] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You run out of memory and crash.

L38[15:18:57] <xxcoder> yeah thanks, ai companies

L39[15:19:54] <xxcoder> ;outcome add Due to growing AI companies, you cannot afford to buy ram and file storage drives for your craft and your mission never starts.

L40[15:19:54] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Due to growing AI companies, you cannot afford to buy ram and file storage drives for your craft and your mission never starts.

L41[15:34:17] <packbart> just use scRAM

L42[16:23:55] <KrazyKrl> ackshually the GPU manufacturer is sending money to the ai companies to reserve GPU time on GPUs that haven't been manufactured yet in datacenters that haven't been built yet with fab time reserved to the GPU company so they can make the GPUs for the datacenters for the ai companies that the GPU company paid.

L43[16:41:31] <Mat2ch> the bubble can't burst fast enough

L44[16:43:22] <Kalpa> If only the bubble would burst

L45[16:43:47] <Kalpa> But the corporate normies are getting on the AI bandwagon now, so it'll take good couple of more years before they realize that damn they could not actually replace all their white collar jobs with AI after all

L46[16:44:22] <Kalpa> How do I know? Because I work in a non-tech related corporation...

L47[16:44:33] <Kalpa> And man are the people at HQ buzz about trying to utilize AI now

L48[16:47:00] <Mat2ch> there are plenty of studies now showing that LLMs don't make people work faster..

L49[17:03:33] <packbart> "

L50[17:03:33] <packbart> Tech companies have in recent years developed a reputation for being rapacious rent-seekers, but can also be unwittingly generous because their penchant to prioritize popularity over quality leaves room for others to sell improvements or repairs.

L51[17:03:37] <packbart> erk

L52[17:03:46] <packbart> sorry. paste accident

L53[17:05:11] <packbart> the part I actually meant: "We were debating between carbon cloth and cast carbon electrodes," he explained. "Not being PhDs in the space, we read relevant academic papers and used LLMs like Grok and ChatGPT to validate our findings.

L54[17:05:21] <packbart> Waterline Development, a water desalination startup, wasted $200k on bad answers from an AI model - so built its own meta-AI

L55[17:05:41] <packbart> they now use an LLM to "evaluate" the answers from multiple LLMs!

L56[17:05:57] <packbart> ( https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/18/rozum_ai/ )

L57[17:07:47] <packbart> the weighted average of all answers to the query "1+1=?" should come out to around 2

L58[17:13:57] <Mat2ch> So we are doing science not on facts anymore, but on quorum?

L59[17:14:19] <packbart> (otoh, a free month with Gemini Pro finally gave me the incentive to rewrite the JS code behind eddn-realtime.space - but I mainly used it to explain some details of JS engines that I could have found in the docs)

L60[17:15:24] <packbart> Mat2ch: well, Startups/Kickstarter projects didn't really need much more than an idea, either :)

L61[17:16:26] <Mat2ch> I should start a gofundme for something...

L62[17:16:32] <packbart> but now they can design the case and list all the great features the machine will have - and then just point Open Claw at the Kickstarter page and type "build that" :>

L63[17:16:56] <packbart> and the Agentic AI will not only design the machine, it will find a manufacturer and enter contracts, etc, too!11

L64[17:18:05] <Mat2ch> Ah, yes, it will totally do that and not get scammed on the way

L65[17:18:30] <packbart> nah, Smart Contracts on the blockchain are scam-safe!

L66[17:19:15] <Mat2ch> and with bitcoin you're not using real money anyways

L67[17:21:44] <Mat2ch> Tom Scott has returned!

L68[17:26:31] <Kalpa> Good for him.

L69[17:27:08] <Mat2ch> Good for me. I have something to watch :)

L70[20:15:16] <m8tys> hello

L72[20:37:22] <Mat2ch> !mission

L73[20:37:22] <LunchBot> You slow down to speed up. Reports stream in that a saboteur has blown up Duna Station, killing hundreds of Kerbals and setting exploration back by months. Their motives remain unclear until it emerges that Jeb was trying to make a sandwich.

L74[20:37:58] <Althego> slow is smooth, smooth is fast

L75[20:38:12] <Althego> also it happens so in orbital mechanics

L76[20:38:16] <Mat2ch> Was a slow sandwich

L77[20:39:11] <Althego> or jeb didnt. fast sandwich was not smooth
