The catastrophe begins already at 2.0 degrees C.

That's when our food supply is going to start break down.

In my view, religion has often been used as a convenient excuse for committing atrocities when it has served the perpetrator's purposes. But those purposes have not stemmed from religious core itself.

For example, the crusaders raped and plundered their way to Jerusalem, paying little heed to which religion their affected had, including the sacking of Constantinople (which was Christian) in 1204.

North American slavers found entitlement to own slaves from some Bible text wherein some important figure had had a servant with dark curly hair.

It will hurt to pop the bubble, but it will hurt more the longer we wait.

Remember: Microsoft always lies. Microsoft does not even speak the same English as regular people.

Driving is a social activity.

You stop for someone who wants to cross the road. You don't just follow traffic laws and keep traffic flowing.

This requires a small amount of direct communication. Eye contact. Hand gestures.

As a bicyclist and pedestrian, I have often had to wave cars along when they've stopped for me. I can't do that to a self-driving car.

You also have to assess potentially dangerous situations, that are out of the ordinary.
AI is notoriously bad at being useful at handling situations they have not been trained on.

Ferrari is working with Italian fintech Conio

The name checks out ...

Last time these rumours went around in June, it was said that the SoC would have been an A18 Pro. It supports 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage.

But we'll see.

No. We are in the middle of a warm period of the current cycle.
Anthropomorphic global warming is only making things worse.

It is not normal for ice caps to completely melt.
Ice-age cycles last around 100 000 years, and this has been seen in ice core samples from glaciers that are multiples of 100'000 years old.

Santa Claus is a blend of the legend of Saint Nicholaus -- a bishop, and Father Christmas -- from English folklore.

Each has been depicted in many garbs and colours throughout the centuries, including red, before the traditions blended together.
In the Dutch Sinterklaas tradition, he is definitely a bishop wearing red with gold trim, with a red bishop's mitra and staff.
When people have dressed up in the English tradition specifically, they have often chosen other colours, such as green, to as not be mistaken for Saint Nicholaus or the more modern Santa Claus.

So, no, Coca Cola did not make Santa Claus red. But their image of Santa Claus has been the most influential.

This was yet another of a myriad cases where police had trusted the image-recognition software without any manual review of the footage.

This can't go on. Would legislation have to be necessary for preventing it from happening again?

Even if this was actually useful and did not mess up people's code, this comes from a company that has no credibility for not doing so.

And BTW, there is already an AI project named Aardvark, used for predicting the weather.
You'd think they could have done a simple google search before announcing it...

OK. Now the bubble is definitely real ...

"... hasten the coming of Christ's return,"

Holy crap. You know what that means, don't you.

I suspect part of this is why Intel has moved so much of itself to Israel.

Gates is into "AI" now. "AI" consumes enormous amounts of energy at the expense of the climate.

So he has chosen to become a climate change denier, because it serves his interests.

Profited off the cryptocurrency boom. Energy wasted at the expense of the environment. Garbage "investments". Crazy schemes. Scams and frauds abound.

They have. This is old news. It has been reiterated many times for several years.
