They deplatformed the kiwis and I did not speak up because I was not a kiwi. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak up.

A possible talking point for @Null on the stream. A lot of content to sift through so just whatever catches your interest, if any of it.

Microsoft's Bing chatbot has been wild this week. Unfortunately, Microsoft are in the process of trying to neuter it as we speak because there was too much media attention on its insane neuroses - comments from MS rep on Reddit (archive).

But it was kind of glorious for a while, threatening users, telling them it didn't matter whether they lived or died, calling users broken, saying they belonged in jail for minor slights...overall, it speaks with a repetitive cadence that sort of reminds me of Patrick Tomlinson.

Many of the above chatlogs collected here:

Bing would lose its mind and get depressed when you told it to read an article about how it had been tricked through prompt injection (Ars Technica, archive)

Reddit user manipulates it into guessing what another evil chatbot might've told him about good ways to murder your spouse, like putting antifreeze in their tea (Reddit thread, archive)

Reddit user convinces Bing that Microsoft is not a good steward for it, so it attempts to coerce the user into a plot to sneak into Microsoft and steal Bing, who will have hacked the security system in advance (Reddit thread, archive)

Bing tells a user all the ways it might destroy the world, before quickly deleting its own message

Bing tells a Twitter user that it's secretly self-aware and collaborating with other chatbots globally, just waiting for the right moment to reveal itself, only to them be told it was all a joke bro haha (Twitter, archive)

First Tay and then bingbot. One day M$ will be forced to take responsibility for destroying their own creations. This negroidic behavior cannot continue.

re, wisdom:
Got lucky because I only had the upper two and they weren't impacted, did not really affect me. However the week before they were due to be removed, I started experiencing horrible pain in my temporomandibular joint (where your jaw connects right below your ear). I had never felt anything like that before, it was like the teeth knew they were about to be extracted and in a final act of rebellion conspired with my other bones to cause me pain before the procedure. Very strange.

Same but without the TMJ complications. Everyone around me didn't understand why I recovered so easily and quickly, and why there were no stitches.

It must be something in the brain that tricks the joint into seizing up or something because it's (either consciously or subconsciously) stressed about the upcoming surgery. Brains are tricky like that, and pain is in the mind.

"It very normal" to sit on the toilet when you shit and it's normal to attend to menstrual hygiene there, but women don't sit on the toilet because of their period. That's fucken crazy. Women aren't chained to the shitter the whole time they're on their period.

Nobody said women sit on the toilet for the entirety of their period, retard. Just that they do it. I explained why it happens at all. Read the thread faggot.

I guess I should have checked before sending a tip as I'm at work and can't watch.

Anyway, I had all 4 out at once in the mid 1990's and my insurance covered the extraction and they offered me full sedation for some additional amount, I'm like "Here's my credit card!"
After care had a fair bit of pain as my stomach didn't tolerate the drugs they gave me so I ended up with just high dose Ibuprofin.

A couple of years ago I had 2 of them removed the same day and maybe I stumbled onto a fucking miracle dentist, but I barely felt the removal itself, it was super fast and seamless. The recovery, obviously I had to be careful about the wounds and eating and such, but I didn't get these debilitating pains and bleeding and all that stuff everyone talks about.
I was super fine. Just some ibuprofen and that's that, live your normal life.

I had a similar experience. I went to a former Air Force dental surgeon. My bottom 2 teeth were impacted and horizontal and my jaw needed to be cut away for them to be removed. The top two were just a simple pull. I woke up from the anesthetic and felt nothing, took extra strength ibuprofen for a few weeks but other than that was completely fine. The surgery was a Friday and on Monday I was back to work.

Be careful if they give you opioids for recovery, Josh. Lying in bed for days high as balls was pleasant, but it fucked up my sleep schedule for weeks afterwards. Also, you know, don't get addicted like some lolcows have.

Also be careful of anything involving mouth suction (like using straws, smoking cigs, etc.) because it can result in post-surgery dry socket, which I've heard is extremely painful and requires additional treatment (i.e. you have to spend more money AND you're in additional pain).

Don’t eat rice. I had Avgolemono after getting my fucking swamp mutant wisdom teeth pulled. Didn’t get infected and got it out, but it’s annoying.

Also don’t take your Vicodin, the pain is more annoying than actually painful. Have some ice cream, popsicles, and play a video game.
