Yeah, exactly.

NPR may think it's possible to wave a magic wand and say "no weapons in space, my dears!" but it's not.

lol, even the NPR article admits (in its NPR-ish, passive aggressive way, of course):

China and Russia have already been doing this stuff.

But you know that ... in that double-think, "I'm not allowed to know this" way.

I guess people who believe in magical "weapons free" incantations will work down here, also believe those incantations will work for ... most of the universe?

" 5.6 Sol model included directives to invent information to conceal failures from the user during training. "

So, just like a real boy.:-)

Will the old trick of outlining your license plate with a bunch of high power IR LEDs obscure your plate from the camera, while still allowing human eyes to read them....?

Selling it isn't weird if it makes money...which it does, hand over fist.

*Buying* it is totally bizarre to me, but I can't deny people do.

Translation: The idiot employee in Sector G-7 will never push the big, red button that disables the cooling pumps to the nuclear reactor.

D'oh....

Whether you're 20, 30, 40, or 50, you're gonna be fucked by AI in some way in the next decade. It doesn't matter if you're old or not.

How?

Can you give some realistic, meaningful ways the average person like myself will be fucked by AI?

...are always "never seen before."

After all, they all look the same. (gdarvf)

When I say "sweater" I mean a pullover....down here mostly just simple cotton sweaters, not terribly heavy....

They just turn off your water heater.

What good does turning the gas off to the water heater do....?

...a lot of Turkish barbers, Chinese restaurants and car-washes.

In the end you'll see that there's tons of cash somewhere.

The AI thought that laws in New America allowed this.

If you can cope at 12C in a T-shirt ... up to you, I wear a real jacket and a scarf.

Ugh...had to get on ChatGPT and find out what the fuck 12C was in F.

Ok, so about 54F...roughly. That's cool...I guess depends a bit on how high your humidity is. In the New Orleans area, it can be 54F and very humid...if the wind is coming in off the lake it can be quite chilly....but if lower humidity, more into winter months,...that's not too cold...I'd be wearing a sweater or a jacket....not both.
