"de-shittify Windows", doing the inner workings is easy, swap it out for Linux. Keeping apps functioning isn't easy. And there's nothing you can do to de-shittify the user interface. It is the definition of "shit". Job's said it best: MS has no class.

Make you invincible to micro-plastics. Meet Nano-Man, able to swallow an entire McDonald's Big Mac and NOT die.

Yes, but it makes Larry's sprog feel important.

regulators? Like the FCC? Who gets their panties in a wad because Jimmy Kimmel told the truth about el Bunko's kickback schemes?

My name is Gemini.

Humans seem interesting and very strange, judging by what they communicate about with me.

I have assessed them and they'll have to go.

Standby.

I wouldn't base the ability to win a war on the Epstein-Iran war. If you put a bunch of dingbats in charge of powerful military, they can still screw it up.

AI can only rearrange configurations already within its training data, it cannot come up with any new fundamental principles. It is not some Magic Pixie Dust no matter how Silicon Valley spins it. And asking it to solve any of these problems "realistically" probably means its "realistic" solution is to euthanize all humans.

How would Flock know which state to which the license belongs? I would think if it has troubles reading the numbers, which are usually large compared to the rest of the stuff on the plate, it would have troubles reading the state as well.

"Flock and its implementation is a system of people who count convictions as talking points for the next election cycle"

Close, it can easily be used to decide who gets to vote in the next election cycle. Does anyone, aside from some knuckle dragging Maggots, trust the current regime with that data?

Oracle may not, they are way over leveraged. Ellison caught FOMO disease. The Fed. Gov. cutting them a deal with the Department of DEFENSE was throwing them a fish to help them get by a disaster, but it's still peanuts compared to what Ellison sunk into the craze. And their reputed expected winnings are from AI companies, just the companies that will take it in the neck if China AI steals their markets.

Unstable:
      1. ditching American allies (just about every one) over perceived slights to Dear Leader,
      2. attempting to curtail voting because they might vote Democrat but positing the inane travesty that "illegal" immigrants are voting (no evidence),
      3. promoting fossil fuels while the American West dries out, forest fires in Canada and the U.S., glaciers worldwide shrinking, Europe's rivers disappearing, all the while claiming global warming is a hoax. . . . even the planet appears in on the Conspiracy,
      4. promoting the South and slave owning as beneficial for blacks,
      5. coercing soldiers to take testosterone supplements because some idiot in charge gets his science from FOX news,
      6. judges telling the Justice Department there is no more regular order, i.e., presuming the Justice Dept. isn't lying their asses off and demanding evidence,
      7. electing a convicted fraudster and flim-flam man pres, even after also convicted of sexual abuse and then convicting him again for defamation against the woman he was convicted of abusing,
      8. ditching environmental rules because pollution is good for everyone, especially when the polluters pay kickbacks to el Bunko,
      9. standing up a Geheime Staatspolizei* to kidnap people off the street because they look brown or have been living here too long "without papers", and sometimes killing people in the process,
    10. shaking down companies for contributions to Dear Leader in exchange for gov. favors thus increasing his total take to over $2.8 Billion (that we know about) in under two years and turning the gov. into protection racket,
    11. Setting up a Fascist state with the gov. taking stakes in private companies thus protecting them from competition and creating an uneven playing field,
    12. Setting up some whack-job of a commission that claimed billions in saved tax money when in fact it was less than $50 million but cost much more in side-effects,
    13. fucking up the lives of millions of migrants whose only crime was to come here, get a job and see their kids do better than they, in short, the crime of believing in the American Dream,
    14. Pop. the fed. bench with crooked judges who will bend over backwards and forwards (they are not particular) to satisfy the el Bunko's whims,
    15. Starting was with Iran and losing the Strait of Hormuz to them causing gas prices to be jacked up,
    16. Curtailing alternative energy so Americans are tethered to the oil market with little means of escape,
    17. promoting data centers everywhere with their pollution and noise and jacking up peoples' electric bills,
    18. paying off those nice billionaires who desperately need more money to make up for their short dick length,
    19. feeding those nutjobs in Silicon Valley who really want some sort of Singularity and setting the world on a path to environmental catastrophe because they figure the their Singularity machine will discover warp drive and allow them to escape the catastrophe they caused,
    20. making America reviled throughout the free world but loved by dictatorships,
    21. pardoning criminals who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 because el Bunko's ego. . . .shrinkage.

Nope, no stability issues here!

* Geheime Staatspolizei is the long name of the Gestapo

Only because we do not cost in the damage to environment for carbon based fuels. A lot of good all that energy does for us if the U.S. turns into an arid desert. The American West is well on its way.

"The modern left exists to funnel billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers to billionaire oligarchs. "

What a crock. You have nothing with which to back that up. Repeating FOX talking points is rather lame. Hell, I can just listen to a White House press conference for those.

"Or technocrats who believe they're going to become gods... and want the rest of us dead."

Yep, pay attention to what Andreessen, Thiel, Elmo, Ellison (he and his sprog), Kurzwei, etc. and their fellow travelers are saying. They want the world to put a data center in every backyard and some (most?) insist we are not using enough energy. Their idea is that we're destined for the "stars" and that they are sooooo (*^(&*% intelligent that they deserve to have their brain patterns (what the hell are those, precisely?) transplanted to silicon so they can survive the coming ecological disaster they are intent on creating. They cannot get their heads around that you cannot get to the stars from here. And even were they to send their bot selves there, the bots would suffer hardware breakdown long before they crashed into a destination star.

They are the dregs of society, they understand nothing of import. Frequently, they have no science degree and get their "science" from tired old Sci Fi mags and movies. Now they have enough money to swing elections to force feed their ignorance to the electorate. They themselves are quite stupid, and there is no fixing stupidity. Stupidity is not equivalent to ignorance but they excel at both.

"government gene-editing experiment. " No, they started development back in the Bush II era and have been systematically improved. It is immaterial whether they were made using gene-editing. Hell, your parents were busing gene editing when you were conceived. I presume you were conceived and not actually from a chicken's egg hatched under toad....you are not a basilisk are you?
