Comment This is so confusing (Score 0, Offtopic) 80

AI is a tool. It was made by humans. In this new show will they be using tools? Editing software?
I assume those were tools made by humans.
Every so often humans make revolutionary tools for their era and there's "new tool hate". Hate for GUI, hate for flat screens, hate for genetic modification, hate for electric cars...
Let him not use AI. Some people care about this... I'm far more interested in the show being good. If it's good I don't care how they made it. With AI. With matchsticks or with tears of fallen angels.

Comment Interesting word (Score 2) 37

Is it a Blackbird kinda word or a Black Bird kinda word?
I'm not used to one word having two capital letters as if they were two distinct words.
I did some "Vibe Coding" and got anAIscripted answer:
The dictionaries that named it (Cambridge and Collins) seem to have stretched the traditional definition of "word" to include phrases or compound terms. This isn't entirely unprecedented - dictionaries have occasionally selected multi-word phrases for "word of the year" when they capture a cultural moment (like "climate emergency" or "cancel culture" in previous years).

Aren't you forgetting all the intelligent Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhist, Taoists, Sikhs, Shintoists and Wiccans etc?
Surely that means we must believe what they believe right? I'm a smart person so believing in the celestial teapot I believe in isn't stupid apparently.
You see you can be smart. Exceptionally so and still do stupid things.
In a given moment in time every genius can appear stupid. Being smart doesn't mean you're smart about everything. Many extremely intelligent people are dysfunctional in other aspects of their lives.
A common error with smart people is that because they are smarter about one two or ten things they can sometimes mistake their skill or intelligence to be universally applicable.
Worse than this, the many intelligent people that understand their own fallibility and folly then have less intelligent people mimic their choices in the assumption that if they are brilliant at X they surely make the right choices about Y.
How would anyone that relies on facts and research ever conclude a religion whose books are riddled with errors, it's stories ripe with illogical actions with depictions of petty vindictiveness born of small mindedness more akin to people that loved 2000 years ago would conceive than an almighty, infinitely wise god is truly beyond me.
It's quite amazing how so many poeple believe in easily refutable nonsense yet they are adamant their religion is the right one and when told of other religion they dismiss them as falsehoods and nonsense.
It's like watching children argue that their favourite superheroe would beat another.
It's all nonsense. Even if the smartest or dumbest persons in existence would be of religion X it would still be stupid.
Smart people do stupid things all the time. Think for yourself. Snake oil is easy to spot, I less you are 4 and it comes from your parent and some holy mumbo jumbo.

Comment Electric monks (Score 2, Insightful) 227

This is truly a dawn of a new era of stupidity.
As believing in stupid things and performing the stupid ceremonies that stupid beliefs require has become tedious and time consuming we turn to AI to help us automate stupid beliefs and stupid ceremonies.
With this new AI prayer service robots will be enabled to go about stupid activities so actual stupid people have more time to engage and deeply stupid things.
Only a matter of time until every religion has their own AI helper running their own electric monks to spread the word and teach the worship and of course punish the blasphemous...

Comment Supermarket speed (Score 1) 109

I can finally drive to the supermarket at a proper speed whilst being kind to the environment...but not in the US. The US doesn't like better products if the lobbying group has sufficient grasp on government. Why would Americans want to drive anything but one of Musk's high quality full self-driving EVs??

...you invest in the performance of the replacement. If that's AI or whatever.
AI could be better at some things but compared to other AI it's performance is also relative.
Take it another step and you could invest via AI in AI investment algorithms that invest in AI companies.
Humans, as it turns out, are not entirely required.

Comment Does stupidity have consequences? (Score 3, Insightful) 201

This is a question that a lot of US workers seems to be unable to answer.
If you have to choose between a former Attorney General with an odd laugh OR a person convicted of sexual assault with a salesman smile whom do you choose?
I know it's a tough choice because "woke BS is dead" and "they gonna make our kids transexual" and "Hunter Biden's laptop" etc but take a moment and really concentrate here.

Upon closer inspection there are two flawed humans. Flawed because no human is perfect.
...however one of them is a dirty, turn everything to shit, scumbag of a creature and the other is not. Can you tell which?
