Global AI Regulation - Should we plan to bomb datacenters and chip fabs?

Is that the general idea people support for when countries don't comply with international rules for AGI alignment, training, implementation and so on? (obviously after sanctions or whatever other lesser measures)

For 3 months I've eaten literally nothing and jogged 12 hours a day, while injecting 0.001mg of tirz every 3.14 days. Still I GAINED 100lbs!

EXPLAIN THAT CICO PEOPLE!

Was Data the most humorous character in TNG?

I think so. I wonder if that was intentional from the beginning, something Brent Spiner pushed for, or something else. It's often a humorless show, but Spiner seems to have a almost edgy sense of humor when I've seen him in interviews and such.

Introducing synthmodem, a modem-to-telnet gateway. Synthmodem allows you to use a real hardware modem (anything from 300bps to 33.6kbps) to access telnet resources on the internet. It acts as a proxy between your modem and the internet, and runs on Windows or Linux hosts.

Real Modem -> SIP Gateway (e.g. SPA2102) -> synthmodem -> Telnet

What you need:

  • A computer with a modem
  • A SIP Gateway (hundreds on eBay for < $20)
  • A PC to run synthmodem
  • Internet

This is an alternative to other solutions such as wi-fi modems and RS232 serial connections for folks who want to use their real modems.

Protocols supported:

  • Bell103
  • V.21
  • V.22
  • V.22bis
  • V.23
  • V.32bis
  • V.34

My testing has been done using a TRS-80 Color Computer 3 w/ Direct Connect Modem Pak @ 300bps and a modern USB modem at up to 33.6k. Best results are at 19.2kbps and below for hardwired connection, 9600bps for wi-fi.

Here it is getting my CoCo3 online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmrtVg1ozqg

And here is the github for more info and download: https://github.com/synexo/synthmodem

Results may not be perfect, and so far only I have tested it. Stability has been excellent at low speeds (up to 2400bps), maintaining connections for several hours when the gateway and PC are directly connected to one another (just a standard CAT5 between them, and then PC on wi-fi for network). On faster connections, I've seen some idle drops even when hardwired but still had many 30+ minute BBS sessions with no issue. Just a PSA to say don't go buy a SPA for this and expect it to work 100% though at this time.

Synthmodem was coded by artificial intelligence (Claude), incorporating open source code and binaries developed by humans.

I periodically seek this one out, but have never been able to find it:

Mostly True Stories: Urban Legends Revealed (2002–2004)

It's basically Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, but hosted by Natasha Henstridge (the lovely woman from Species). Also there's apparently a final season of Beyond Belief that only aired in Germany.

Out there anywhere?
