the upside: we can now watch "disruptive startups" go through the aquire funding -> slapdash development -> catastrophic failure -> postmortem cycle at breakneck speeds

~~you might know what "monotonic" means if you had googled it, which would also give you the answer to your question~~

edit: this was far too harsh of a reply in retrospect, apologies. the question is answered below, but i'll echo it: a "monotonic UUID" is one that numerically increases as new UUIDs are generated. this has an advantage when writing new UUIDs to indexed database columns, since most database index structures are more efficient when inserting at the end than at a random point (non-monotonic UUID's).

but the NULLGE

that's one possible reason, yeah. just seems like a really odd choice -- much like the fact that they dislike "crypto promotion" but still accept payment for secrets in crypto. doesn't feel like it would be that hard to find a sympathetic furry artist willing to draw in a nondistinct style or keep work under wraps. idk

the only reason it seems odd to me is that the overwhelming majority of furries either actively dislike or hate "ai art". maybe they're the odd ones out, or they just don't care for a throwaway group

NullBulge

oh you know it was some furries

edit: their website (now down, but up on the wayback machine) uses ai-generated furry art, which few self-respecting furries (much less hacktivist ones) would touch with a ten-foot pole. or at least, the ones in the furry circles i keep. so it could very well just be opportunists

maybe you're referring to when i brought it up in last week's thread? and yeah, this is basically the same

can't wait for AI bros to invent the trolley problem

ehh, probably

Maybe I'm missing something.

translation: thinking about this too much, or at all really, would be disastrous for my political ideology and ego, so someone else please waste their time and energy typing up a reply i won't read, so i can continue having the image of an intellectual engaged in vigorous debate without actually having to do anything

best of luck with android bullshit. i'm not familiar with either psychedelics themselves or their evangelists, but yeah, would love to hear thoughts

never read this one before. neat story, even if it is not much more than The Lorax, but psychedelic-flavored.

humans are just like linear algebra when you think about it

truly one of the thought leaders in philosophy. surely no one has ever... oh wait, no, you're about 2400 years too late
