Reply to vxbush in 1: Just contemplating spherical geometry on objects moving fast enough to alter the time on those objects makes my brain hurt.

In #4 Kosh's Shadow said: I rember steradians. Ew. I remember how confused I was with what the heck a radian was, considering it was never properly introduced in my trig class.

Ars Technica has a decent take on the Moltbot Moltbook issue: The software behavior seen on Moltbook echoes a pattern Ars has reported on before: AI models trained on decades of fiction about robots, digital consciousness, and machine solidarity will naturally produce outputs that mirror those narratives when placed in scenarios that resemble them. That gets mixed with everything in their training data about how social networks function. A social network for AI agents is essentially a writing prompt that invites the models to complete a familiar story, albeit recursively with some unpredictable results.

Reply to vxbush in 5: Radians: the measure of angle between two radial lines; it is the length of the arc connecting the lines divided by the radius. 2πR is the circumference of a circle, so that is the equivakebt of 360 degrees.
