I have noticed that asking it questions about the video game "No Man's Sky" elicits perfect or at least nearly perfect answers every time. Asking it any technical questions about Linux though... usable accuracy drops to something like 50%.

This isn't even the worst thing LinkedIn has gotten caught doing. It's always been an entirely criminal enterprise masquerading as a normal jobs board.

Sure, why not just pass all your sensitive personal and corporate data through a "thinking machine," "for entertainment purposes only." Sounds like a great plan that smart people would do. /sarcasm

It's probably also relevant that they couldn't just call it "Northstar" because that was already taken by a competitor's product.

Just in case kids these days really don't know: The North Star, Polaris, was commonly called "the polestar" back in the heyday of nautical adventuring a few hundred years ago, as in the one that sits at The North Pole, the one you follow... the one that guides you home. It is a curious choice in the sense that millennials will probably just think of strippers, but I suspect they're not Volvo's target audience for this vehicle.

Leela: "Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?"
Fry: "Well sure, but not in our dreams! Only on tv and radio...and in magazines...and movies. And at ball games, on buses, and milk cartons, and t-shirts, and bananas, and written on the sky. But not in dreams! No sirree."

More like $50 per month, at least.

How do you figure? Because that sounds like spin to me.

I predicted this over a decade ago, but it sounded a lot more unbelievable back then.

I'll take that as a definite "yes."

Modded down for telling the truth again, I guess?

Maybe to help contribute bug reports?

It's like he doesn't even want his scams to work.

If you dig deep enough it always turns out to be Satanism.

It was me. I licked them all. They're mine now.
