It has been an “imminent threat” for the past 40 years. Not sure they understand the meaning of the word “imminent.”

I don’t understand, why wouldn’t the AI simply write its own version of whatever software it needs to license?

I legit heard a news anchor say “and what it could mean for your weekend” on the TV at a bar recently, so they’re keeping it alive.

Bought it in 2018. Tried to convince him to buy a Kia.

Guy randomly stopped me to ask me how I like my Model 3 when I was getting out of it in a parking lot last week. First time that’s happened in like 6 years.

Considering the valuations are based on non existent future data centers, I don’t see why they couldn’t continue to be based on nonexistent past data centers.

Yeah, like who hasn’t ended up in a Waffle House with no idea how they got there?

Reach out to a kid who’s still figuring out his world view and offer him $45/hr to walk around an airport, and I think he might compromise his shaky morals a bit.

My mother once asked me how I knew the people I was playing CS:Source with weren’t all pedophiles. I was 18 at the time.

Moms can be dumb.

There’s a remote job listing on LinkedIn right now for $125/hr to train an AI how to do schematic capture and layout. Like it’s right in the listing that you’re training an AI to do your job. Insanity.

Ask it which is heavier: 20 pounds of gold or 20 feathers.

Vibe coding guy wrote unit tests for our embedded project. Of course, the hardware peripherals aren’t available for unit tests on the dev machine/build server, so you sometimes have to write mock versions (like an “adc” function that just returns predetermined values in the format of the real analog-digital converter).

Claude wrote the tests and mock hardware so well that it forgot to include any actual code from the project. The test cases were just testing the mock hardware.

I think the next underground social network should be called “car insurance.”

Nobody would ever find it through a search engine.

My iPhone’s Safari crashed multiple times. Granted, it’s an iPhone 11, but still.

Christ the ads on that site.

Definitely not Mandela, but maybe it’s something Google never officially confirmed.

Here’s an article about Ingress, the spiritual predecessor to PkmnGo. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21628936-200-why-googles-ingress-game-is-a-data-gold-mine/

I feel like this was common knowledge back in 2016. Is this surprising to anyone?

And you realize that it’s taking a while to delete that small handful of files.

It’s a sad fact that those systems seem incompatible with human nature as it stands.

Eh, I’d say 20% human nature, 80% propaganda.
