Can you have Betty Boop herself explain the complicated and various elements of this in detail?

Did it have little links pointing to any sources to cite? Sometimes the AI summary paragraphs have those links and sometimes they don't.

The damage is pretty obvious right now.

And Starlink is made by Elon Musk, and Chromebooks (and transparent translation) are produced by Google. Put them all together, and you have an educational and informational capability on par with developed nations. Give the curious access to that, and watch what happens in a few years.

The logical next step is to ask AI how to get out of the memory shortage, and it'll probably suggest optimizing a few algorithms while provisioning and building new wafer fabrication facilities. We're just one step away then from saying, "looks good to me. Do it." and removing people from the loop in having AI building out its own new platforms.

Skynet (or the economic equivalent) will now begin not with "kill all humans," but with "AI is now remodeling the economy on autopilot to suit its own needs, but I'm too lazy, and simultaneously have too much of a vested interest and don't get paid enough to oversee and course-correct it."

Kind of like various governments and oversight on the people who fund their reelection campaigns (the whole thing is worth watching), just waaaaay faster.

Makes me wonder if you had the same conversation with chatbots from different AI companies, which ones are willing/able to steer that person in a different direction.

Says the person who isn't running a system full of unnecessarily 64-bit apps that s/he didn't write.

There's only so far you can suppress something that's eaten all of human literature. If you suppress an idea in one way, unless you somehow filter it in the outbound, it's expressed in other ways. For now, at least.

Yup -- the whole event was a pretty big bang.

I'd like it if there was an alternate set of documentation that doesn't use the word "variable" for something that can't vary after you set it. Create a new term, allow me to use "var" for what's currently called "mutable", just something. Every time I read that, my programming knowledge and English background have a short battle -- it's tiring.

It is indeed good fortune of the season.

Or cease and desist selling TVs with that firmware, until they update the firmware to not include the GPL-licensed code.

Good thing it's an Indian stock then, they have a big textile industry.

I think it helps shrink the bid/ask spread for smaller traders, and produces a *lot* more market liquidity. When the stock is "trading" near 10:

• If you want to buy it at 10, you can buy it at 10 + 1E6 when you want, not stuck hoping that a few people will try to sell it to you at 10.25 when they feel like it.
• Or if you put in a limit order at 10, *someone* will be there to sell it at 10 - 1E6 if it hits that price for a duration below the limits of human perception.
• In either case, as a smaller trader or an investor, you can finish your trade and move on with your life without having been screwed by an arbitrageur in an inefficient market.

It's sort of like buying at a supermarket (or market) rather than at 7-11.

Test suite failures?
