Anyone who is pro-digital necromancy is:
A) Someone deeply sad who doesn't understand it will be a cheap digital imitation of their dead loved ones corpse.
OR
B) A tech-industry ghoul who is salivating at the idea of getting your dead grandma to advertise coca-cola, mobile games, and grammarly.

DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts.
Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter .
A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many
sacrifices.
Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

I'd bet real money that in a couple years when these AI company CEOs' kids start growing up, they will be banned and restricted from using AI, just like Social Media CEOs that keep their kids off of social media.
And I think that tells us everything we need to know about AI's effect on development.

I'm 100% sure that is intentional.
If he didn't come off like a clueless Putz who had just stumbled into the studio every time, then he'd be forced to actually interview and ask real questions instead of ego-stroking ghouls like Altman.

What fascinates me the most about Jimmy Fallon is that he is an astonishing awkward interviewer. Every time I see a clip, it looks like it's his first night on the job.

Billions of humans successfully raised kids without AI for roughly 300,000 years. There are books, videos, courses and tools of all kinds to help in the modern age.
Meanwhile AI hasn't raised a single lifeform. Ever.
Parents using AI to raise their kids are failures as parents.

Welp, that's it. I was already getting a Linux laptop to de-microsoft this week. Might as well switch my phone to Graphene OS and de-google this week too.
Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

There's many reasons to hate Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, but honestly, of late I'm finding it especially hard to stomach the fact that they insist on grabbing the wheel when they don't know how to drive.

How typical of a male researcher to make a recommendation that doesn't affect them... What a presumptuous man he is.
I hope any restaurants he goes to purposefully underserve him while still charging him full price, see how he likes it.

To be honest, I never got into watching pro soccer, and after watching that participation trophy "peace" prize, I'm glad I haven't and now never will.
Here's hoping other sports can eat FIFAs lunch and bring in fans by not bowing down to fascism.

Yesterday I was about to buy something online but the website just timed out before fulfilling the order.
Since then the company has emailed me about nine times to remind me that there's stuff in my basket.

Recently learned about Steam labelling games that are made with AI. It's deeply funny to me that developers using AI are upset about it since consumers prefer games without AI.
Turns out people prefer works of quality/genuine talent instead of 400 crappy AI generated gun skins. Whowuddathunkit?

Except for positions where it is necessary, personal vehicles should be illegal. All the money poured into roadworks should be redirected to public transit.
And the necessary uses (farming, construction) should require rigorous licensing that needs renewal every few years.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I know Greta Thunberg said the story isn't about her.
But it's really important she speaks out and tells exactly what abuse she received.
When the world sees what Israel is capable of doing to her, they will know the horrors they inflict on Palestinians are all true.
