60... asshole.

Look- I don't care if they use the conversations for training.

What I don't want is a mass subpoena exposing answers I received. That's called privacy.

I can't imagine how anyone thinks that is funny. My problem is with the court- not the AI.

Oh and by the way- I'm not laughing at you- you're lack of empathy tells me everything I need to know about you. Laughing at you would be cruel.

Well- that halted my use of all AI at this point.

I've given it proprietary information about myself, my coding, a lot of things. But that was under the assumption these chats were private.

Now a court gets to look at responses to my input without a warrant. It's far reaching and universal.

I'm off AI.... unless this settles in a way that respects users.

Aside from technical use, I've used AI with drafts of a book I'm writing. Guess I'll go back to using a human editor.

This order is bullshit.

Blasting like a Sirocco into BBS culture of the 80s/90s.

'74 to '94.... God what a time.

Fame is a difficult thing no matter where it comes from.

It also exposes mental illness which may lie dormant until stressed appropriately.

Everyone applauded for Star Wars.

What people don't understand is that people were captured and enraptured by this movie. This was a thing. An event. In fact there was palpable sense of people thinking "This story was in my heart and they finally told it".

No we all know it's just a movie. But where I grew up it was running in first run theaters for over a year.

We applauded. We were astonished. And the story ripped themes from multiple mythologies to that everyone identified with it.

Then when we saw it the 10th time... we applauded again. And the same was essentially true for the sequels- at least nearish to the premiers.

It's a Sicilian opening.

That's not true... certain randomly produced setups do inherently have an advantage for black or white.

Some of those are pure winning position for black or white.

It sounds good until you analyze it...

The problem is that multiple random positions means multiple starting positions that are losing positions before the game even starts.

It's interesting because it raises the possibilities and complexity of chess. It creates 40,320 starting positions. When adjusted for the rules there are 960 different starting positions. Every position is then a *different* game. So it's impossible to memorize the openings like traditional chess by studying the MCO.

But.

Some of those starting positions are going to be losing positions before a single piece is moved. Which introduces a bit of randomness into a game that is really already solved.

Adding some random/quantum effect to it's beginning state is interesting- but given the conditions of the game I'm not sure that winning a Chess360 game is an indicator of the skill of the player, or the deficiency of the starting conditions.

That's an interesting possibility. Hadn't considered that. Why not- he's bought everything else.

Gosh I predicted this.

There were rumors about this being Qualcomm in September. I wonder if it's them.

If you think the price of cars was high during Covid- just wait there's more.

When the tariffs come, it won't have an immediate effect. Though after 6 to 9 months h13 steel, which is used in most tool and die product, is going to be very expensive.

That's the first bump in price. And it will get worse as the tooling wears out for particular car models. Machine tools are expensive to design, test, and manufacture

Then comes the the second fun part:.

Forget about sourcing steel to actually make the car. That will be a pipe dream. Production will go down, costs will go way up, and you can expect an implosion of the industry.

Now for the third fun part:

We're going to take a step back in technology. The high end fabs in Taiwan will be gone. This will also tank the auto industry.

What follows is not pretty. Unless Russia, North Korea, and China take a step back- we are going into a very dark time for humans.

The only advantage is this: We can dump the Chinese debt and tell them to go #*(@!^ themselves.

Yes- I'm telling you we are going through the darkest period the US has ever gone through. People just haven't seen the effects yet.
We do so much trade with China they that their manufacturing centers might as well be the 51st state. This is going to hurt. Bad.

And sadly it will go along until the inevitable war. Neither China or the US are going to have intact industry

Ya... agreed.

The last one that was fun was Tuttle OK and CentOS. Those were the days.

Then why distribute anything at all?
