  • Yeah for real.

    Smart TVs, Subscription services, etc.

    It's all just capitalism doing its thing, everyone racing to sell sell sell.

  • Quite sane. My tours cost 10 million each. But I'll only use a little to buy replacement additional subs. The rest goes to food and homeless programs.

    Ok, who wants tickets?

  • Maybe it is human-like intelligence. It's dumb as shit, but have you met people?

    LMAO

    But yeah, I guess at its core, human intelligence and machine intelligence are both just pattern recognition, but I guess my point is that calling it "AI" gives people this false sense that it is something it is not. AI has been a thing in Sci-fi for so long that we all think of Data from Star Trek or C-3PO from Star Wars and similar. When in reality it is more akin to a robot arm in a factory doing the same task really fast and really precisely, but it isn't some adaptable all-purpose thing yet.

  • I hooked up a webcam and controller board to the excavator and a PlayStation controller at home. How about now?

  • I have anxiety and depression. Gonna give your idea a try.

  • Similarly how plastic pollution is 99% made by companies. So we banned plastic straws.

    That's the equivalent of yelling at me to turn the ceiling lights off to save power, but you have the AC running 24/7 and all the windows are open.

    I hate it.

  • I would love an electric vehicle.

    But we have two gasoline cars completely paid off and I can't imagine adding a car payment (or two) just to go electric. I'm more concerned with continuing to afford food and shelter.

    If I could just magically swap them out I would.

  • Idiots. The toilet seat tissue layer doesn't do anything, that's why I lick the seat clean first. Saliva has antimicrobial properties, use your brain.

  • Jokes on you.

    I baked my casserole with the shiny side up and pulled it out at 59 minutes and 55 seconds, when it was supposed to go for an hour.

    So take that Dull Side!

  • I really hate that we are calling this wave of technology "AI", because it isn't. It is "Machine Learning" sure, but it is just brute force pattern recognition v2.0.

    The desired outcomes you define and then the data you train it on both have a LOT of built-in biases.

    It's a cool technology I guess, but it's being misused across the board. It is being overused and misused by every company with FOMO. Hoping to get some profit edge on the competition. How about we have AI replace the bullshit CEO and VP positions instead of trying to replace fast food drive through workers and Internet content.

    I guess that's nothing new for humans... One human invents the spear for fishing and the rest use them to hit each other over the head.

  • Yeah, you might accidentally bump into him in the hallway and he would stand his ground and gun you down for the audacity.

  • (Unplugs external drive)

    "I deleted them."

    "You deleted all of them?"

    "Yep, not on the website anymore. See."

    "Ok.... Good.... But I'm watching you."

  • What we have here is a dactyl that pters and a helico that also pters.

    I name them, Pterhelico and Dactylopter.

  • Look at this guy over here. They want to contribute to society and not starve from it. Wild.

  • I can't imagine the annoyance and pain of being in a front seat, but my carryon is at the back of the plane. That is going to make deboarding super fun for all of us.

  • How about a Maximum Wage instead of Minimum. And that is tied to some overall average like GDP or something, I dunno. And all the excess goes into infrastructure and benefits that directly help people. Free healthcare, free mass transit, food, UBI, etc.

    And we create a new system that ranks people and businesses on their overall benefit to society. Then the billionaire mindset people can compete to be the best, but it actually helps us all instead of hurts us all. Like, a Karma or Upvote esque system or something. I dunno. Anything besides hoarding wealth.

  • "Yes, I had to correspond with other engineers and English was used in all communications."

  • My chevrotain has about 10,000 miles on it, which doesn't sound like much until you realize it's only 4 inches tall, but it's reliable and gets me where I want to go, which is home, because I don't want to be around people.
