And by blood clots, you mean the same thing covid produced and could persist for up to a year after contracting the virus? Or did you mean getting infected means a higher risk of blood clots in general?

For Bells Palsy, you were three times more likely to be affected by it after being infected than getting a vaccine.

Also, from the NIH:

And by "side effects" you mean keeping people alive.

If you're that worried about a covid vaccine, definitely don't take aspirin with all its side effects and possible issues with its use. And let's not get into the even worse side effects from Aleve.

You don't even need a doctor to get something so dangerous! Talk about needing withdrawn from the market.

How ironic, since the whole point of crypto was to be free of the pesky big brother, with all his annoying snooping and regulations.

They'll trade in their Prius for a Model X though. CO2 payback should occur in 2055 if they also install an acre of new solar in their yard and don't need to replace the battery before then.

Your calculation assumes the Prius is going into a junkyard instead of to its next owner, which isn't true.

My state mandated insurance rates have risen 20% over prior year and accident claims are up substantially.

If the design of cars is to blame for rising car insurance, then the prediction would be that home insurance is unaffected, correct?

The brain starts with the semantics. Some are innate, others are learned, but the semantics is always first. The syntax is then layered on top of this. This is why the high-intelligence end of the autistic spectrum is linked to delayed speech followed by a very rapid process to complex speech. The semantics is being built to a far higher degree, the syntax is postponed until the last possible moment.

AI, as it currently exists, needs a very very large number of examples, far more than the brain by tens of orders of magnitude, and hallucinates far more, because ALL it knows is the syntax. There is no handling of the semantics at all.

This approach can NEVER lead to actual intelligence of any sort, let alone superintelligence. They are solving the wrong problem. And that is why they fail, and why they will only ever fail.

If you want actual intelligence, the syntax must come LAST. And the modern breed of AI researcher is simply far too stubborn and arrogant to fathom that.

Have you tried visiting Twitter after hanging out on Bluesky for a while? OMG, it feels like a dystopia. Was it always that bad and did I just forget, or has it gotten that much worse since I left?

The cost/benefit analysis is not so simple, since the costs avoided by preventing a crash are huge. How many sensor bumpers can you pay for with the savings of avoiding a million-dollar personal injury lawsuit? Yet those savings do not factor in to a "cost to repair" figure.

Of course the cost/benefit would also vary wildly from one "doodad" to another, so there is no answer 'in general.'

A new one might not be a lot more, since 2024 is so new there would be very few on the used market.

Substances most people do not regard as addictive (weed) or inherently dangerous (alcohol) are viewed as both by the Federal and most State criminal justice systems.

An interesting comparison would be Youtube Shorts.

Let me just say that YT Shorts sucks balls. I have found if I scroll down even a little bit, whatever "short" I thought I was going to see jumps to something else and there is no way to get the original one back. Every single time.

Mind you, I don't view shorts on anything resembling a regular basis and have probably only selected four or five, but the condition above has happened with all of them. Can't scroll down or you lose the vid and can't get it back.

The main portion of OpenAI is for-profit anyways, the structure and motivation for it are all spelled out on their website: https://openai.com/our-structu...

Worth every fucking penny.

We know the U.S. nor any western country will not be able to catch this guy, but at least there is now a name and a face It's a good piece of detective work to let the Russians know their wall of security is as good as swiss cheese.

This isn't the first time someone deep within the Russian security or intelligence apparatus has been unveiled. Certainly makes them wonder who is leaking this information. Paranoia can be entertaining.
