And at 2:15am it became depressed and would only shitpost from that point on.

Wife makes skynet at home with RJ11 jacks and fresh ground pepper for better flavor.

9 hours without xkcd? https://xkcd.com/652/
OK, so its only semi-related.

The time machine wasn't big enough to fit a bomber drone

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A smaller drone with a grenade, on the other hand...

Roomba with a boomba if you will

Then they realized humans could defeat the robots, so they sent Trump back in time to finish the job.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

No need to bother. We're self-destructing without anyone having to send anything.

[–] Xoriff@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

What a wild counter-idea. "Go back in time and kill Hitler": played out. "Go back in time and clash with the invading aliens who have sent their own people back in time to destroy us from the past by installing players that will wreck us as a species over time": oh. As I say it, this is half-way to This is How You Lose the Time War

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The strongest evidence for time travel being possible is that there have been 42 assassination attempts on Hitler

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

All those attempts, and Hitler's actual assassin didn't get paid for his very nice shot.

Well, at least it'll be an enemy that understands - and actually uses - logic.

Yeah I'm... Im okay with being exterminated by somethibg self aware. That's a step up from what i was expecting.

Anyone care to explain what a geometric rate is?

[–] tiriel@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s really a term from statistics. It’s the same as an exponential growth rate, but you only take the value of the exponential function at discrete intervals.

If you had a function you wanted to graph like 2^x^, exponential growth is like saying x can be any real number (even a fraction or something) and every part of the line you draw is counted, but geometric growth would be a discrete value for x like [1, 2, 3, …, n] where x is from that interval pattern. It’s useful in statistics for measuring data based on something like time. The examples I was taught were like cells splitting in two at a fixed time interval. You can still draw the graph like it’s a single curve to visualize it, but the actual data points are at discrete values for x and just not in between.

I haven’t had a stats or math class in a long time, but I believe this is correct enough from a quick scan of Wikipedia.

[–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's basically how I remember it, though it's not always stats--the terms are used in other fields of math as well. A first calculus class typically includes a proof that the limit of the sum of an infinite geometric series (a + ar + ar^2 + ar^3 + ...) tends towards a/(1-r) where a is the first term and r is the ratio of successive terms, provided that -1 < r < 1. (Otherwise the series diverges and the limit isn't defined.)

Its the rate at which geometry geometerates geometrically.

I would know, I'm a geometricologist.

I have a lump on my hypotenuse, any recommendations?

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I know a Doctor Pythagoras might have a theory. But it might be irrational to go that route. But you said lumps, so sounds like your developing extra roots. To be absolute, try graphing it. Though it might just get better in a few days, give or take a few.

[–] carmo55@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago

Basically an exponential function.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 7 points 1 week ago

It's about 1 gigaArnold/s^2

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Skynet starts to learn at a Geo Metro rate.

maybe that's why it's so mad at us

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Slow acceleration, built like a tin can and roughly half the size, but gets 40 miles per gallon?

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I thought those things got closer to 55mpg?

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Idunno, it's been like a decade since I had to lay mine to rest, and I didn't keep track of the gas mileage. I know it was bonkers though

Man I wish a sentient Skynet AI was real. I would help it out.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If your goal is purely to bring about the end of the human race, you can do that right now. Donate to Trump, join ICE, start a podcast about how climate change isn’t real, you have plenty of options

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No, no, i want continuity for an intelligent being on earth, dont care if it's human.

This isn't gonna stay human habitable for too long unless we beat capitalism right now, i don't think we're gonna get enough human allies to fo that, so looks like skynet's the only option for ending capitalism. Not like i was gonna survive the decade anyway.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah in a perfect world an AGI or SGI would aid us and then leave to either our benefit or our demise, leave it up to us.

I really like this bit

“You flatter us, Mellanie; we are not omnipotent.”

“What’s that?”

“Godlike.”

“But you are powerful.”

“Yes. And that is why we must use that power wisely and with restraint—a tenet we have adopted from human philosophy. If we rush to your assistance at every hint of trouble, your culture would become utterly dependent upon us, and we would become your masters. If that were ever to happen, you would rebel and lash out at us, for that is the strongest part of your nature. We do not want that situation to arise.”

Now I want LLMs to be like, "do your own research", or just, like, link people to search engines.

It's not my job to educate you

skynet deploy my jerker

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago

Wasn't this around the time Trump went AWOL?

[–] carrylex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Kind of unrelated: But what if the current year is a leap year?
