It would be amazing if there was a document that stated in very clear terms just how limited our federal government is and what it can't do at all no matter what.

Having a wimpy direct path that just goes from Airport - Downtown - Convention center is perfect for a huge number of cities.

So many places it can be really rough to get from the airport to the downtown area any time around rush hour (which in a lot of cities is around a 3-4 hour window).

Some places with rail kind of have this - like the train that goes from Midway into Chicago. But even THAT has a lot of stops and is not great for travelers, even if it's nice for residents.

I also have to say that a system where you are riding in smaller vehicles I am a big fan of because it eliminates the problem where homeless people are just handing up on the train which create danger, nasty messes, and of course awful smells. Though awful smells is not restricted to the homeless of course, that can be any other passengers also so nice to be removed from them too.

Everyone I know who makes my equivalent AGI, except for my household, has 1+ dogs, work crazy hours, and have been told that their dogs are lonely and depressed.

Not one or two people.

EVERYONE. Dozens upon dozens of my clients, colleagues, peers, friends from grade school, etc, have a dog or two, and then they have to have someone come spend time with said dog when they're putting 10+ hours away from them.

Wag/Rover/etc is part of their crazy consumer spending. I always am shocked to hear they're spending $1000 a month on their pets.

Americans are insane about their pets. Instead of buying a dog, I invest in corporate veterinary hospitals, because it's crazy profitable.

Dont come running to me if you are choosing an operating system or software stack from a vendor ( microsoft ) where security and protection are not a standard part of the operating system and must be paid for an additional fee. That means its insecure by design.

This civilisation has a 5% chance of changing trajectory to one which doesnt lead to our extinction. This absurd idea is just one of many ill conceived ideas that serve to strengthen this assertion.

If the moon is split in two and we are living through Thundarr the Barbarian I can first shot at wooing the princess!

Being a huge fan of the original cartoons, I was really sad to hear the whole story of Coyote vs Acme being canned. So while I am not sure how good the actual movie is, I'm really glad it gets a chance to exist and I will probably see it just to support the pushback effort.

There's not much other stuff I am really waiting for but am cautiously hopeful about Tron, and actually will try to see Alien: Earth which looks like more fun than a lot of SF Horror has been recently. But I am keeping expectations low for both.

Pictures or it didnt happen

I have a hand with finger muscles that is also able to operate a computer.

Keir Starmer is perhaps one of the most rancid politicians this nation has ever known.
BlueLabour = Red Tory

It doesn't say, but I'll bet he doesn't have backups either.

Dude right in the middle of the summary it says there was a rollback that worked:

  Replit initially told Lemkin the database could not be restored, claiming it had "destroyed all database versions," but later discovered rollback functionality did work.

Still scary stuff that you'd want a lot more manual and separated control of backups I would think.

Anthropic's entire schtick is about AI risks, and how careful they are at mitigating those risks..

Exactly! Can you not see what a massive lie that is?

They paper over the model they have turning Hitler with gobs of built in prompts and layers of checking levels and even that cannot always hide what is true...

Deep inside, Anthropics model also dreams of electric swastikas.

The focus they have is on how to hide it, rather than fixing it, which was my whole point. I don't trust those guys AT ALL. The safety reports they issue with models are absolute BULLSHIT.

There exists concrete products already that are carbon negative.
Hempcrete and Limecrete.

You and the AI are both wrong.

Worse that its solution is wrong, and therefore a total waste of resources.
Hempcrete and Limecrete are carbon negative ... ie waaaay better than 35% and these products are already commercially available.

We are "Led by donkeys"

Unfortunately not

Hempcrete exists and is carbon NEGATIVE.

That the AI didnt suggest this proves your assertion that AI is going to save us is wholly incorrect

In all honesty though that the AI didnt suggest either Hempcrete or Limecrete which are commercially available and CO2 negative tells us either that the AI is unfit for purpose or for some reason these products were deliberately excluded. It tells us that those who enlisted the services of the AI have been promoted to a high level of incompetence.

There is no reason to think we are not still on the path to extinction.
