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....?

Honestly, AI technology has gotten good enough that those types of things won't fool it anymore. Captchas take longer for a human than it does for an AI model with vision, and the human is more likely to make a mistake.

The point is, sure, their system may suck right now, but if adversarial patterns became common, they're a model update away from fixing it. Might need better hardware on the device, so at most you'll cost them some money, but it won't get us our privacy back.

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?

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....?

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.

Last week it was high-90's and low 100's along the central coast (Santa Cruz & Monterey). It cooled down at night, but I also don't have A/C because I almost never need it, maybe for 3-5 days every 3-4 years it would be appreciated.

You can't get a couple window units to have AC when you need it?

You can put them up and take them down pretty readily......better than baking/roasting on those days when you really don't need to.

It's really the same problem that we see with quantum physics -- the subject matter is esoteric enough that common sense can't be used to determine whether what you're listening to is really advanced theory or utter BS (or some combination of the two); they both sound the same, and the situation isn't helped by the presence of large numbers of people who think they know what they are talking about but don't. :/

Talk shows have been exempt from the equal time law right up until 2026.

Not quite true....

NEWS shows are exempt.....talk shows and other entertainment shows most decidedly are not exempt.

and destroyed multiple fields of STEM research

Interesting claim....

Can you give me a list of / citations of such?

I think the distinction they are making is between technology that kills people, and technology that entertains people. If someone fitted actual weapons to a Doom engine, they'd probably object.

There is no such thing as "space", apart from "spacetime.". You can go, "there's a lot of space between our sun and Alpha Centauri" but if you were moving in that direction at close to the speed of light, instead you'd go, "hey, these two stars are super close to each other." Arbitrarily so: you can make them as close as you like, you can put as much energy into changing your frame your reference to make them centimeters or millimeters apart if you want to. Where did all that space go?

You can't really talk about space expansion in the instinctual model we have in our brains as 'space.' That's not "reality" it's a useful model of reality that our brains create to help us accomplish things, but using that to counteract general relativity results *which are testable and have been verified in a variety of ways* is like saying a description of what's going on in CPUs and GPUs don't make sense because it doesn't match up with the video game you're seeing displayed on the monitor. That's an interpretation of states in the computer, in the same way everything you see and experience is an interpretation of reality.

Geez there seems to be a lot of rage about the FCC potentially enforcing a law LONG on the books for broadcast TV to give equal time to political candidates on both sides of the fence, especially during an election year....

If he wants the Dem.....let him also schedule the Rep. candidate, maybe both on the same show...eh?

Because real punishment is only for brown people. Corporations are the whitest white people.

ROTFLMAO....

OH man, you got me with that one. If you really believe this type of shit, you are REALLY gone over the deep end my friend.

I guess all those non-white business owners that have incorporated are all secret undercover white nationalists.....hahaha.

Man, what a vivid and exciting imagination you have there...
