It's hatred horse breeders and horse messengers had for cars and their drivers.

Notably, this is the exact reason why they had to immediately start having exceptions in the law.

In this case they started with farmers, and you'll likely have problems across insurance industry, which will require way more exceptions added on later.

In the '80s when gene splicing was first becoming something that could work reliably the Soviet Union biowarfare labs created a chimera of Marburg (an ebola variant) and (smallpox? Cowpox? Mousepox? I forget which), which was nicknamed 'Blackpox'. A researcher was accidentally infected, immediately quarantined, and his decline and death recorded and played back for the Kremlin leadership. They were so horrified they cancelled the research and ordered all samples and documentation destroyed and shut down most of their biowarfare program.

Ken Alibek defected to the US bringing his research notes and stolen documentation copies. The Pentagram found the data so valuable that they had Congress vote to give him immediate citizenship, and he spent the rest of his life working for them.

It never ceases to amaze me how people point at Venezuela or Cuba and say, "See? That's what happens when you allow socialists to take over!" It displays
1) Their ignorance of what life was like for the majority before the change in government, and
2) Their deliberate ignoring of decades of constant financial attacks by the most powerful economy on the planet.

They'll tie themselves in knots pretending that the US is in no way responsible for their economic issues, while at the same time insisting that the economic warfare continues. It would be amusing if it weren't so infuriating.

You're thinking of Promise Robotics.

There are a lot of companies out there who are pioneering the revolution of the construction industry.

The coolest, to me, is the drywaller machine. (I hate doing drywall, and I rather suck at finishing it.)

That will work about as well as banning cloning will. Anyone wanting access to an AI will just go to a district where it's allowed, and when your region collapses into poverty and irrelevance they'll take you over.

Blue collar trades are the first jobs that are being phased out, and it's already started. One of the largest coal mines in China is almost completely automated (and electric) through the combination of AI, robotics, and 5/6G technologies. AI-controlled robots are pouring concrete, running excavators, walking security guard patrols, monitoring oil platforms, washing dishes, and much, much more. There are a lot more blue collar workers than white collar ones, and our stupid system of "work or starve" is ensuring that the elites have two choices coming down the pike. Either hungry workers pick up torches and pitchforks and the elites fund UBI, or the population has to be dramatically reduced.

Thinking of 'math errors', last year the most anti-science administration in the history of the US attempted to eliminate one of the two LIGO sites, reducing sensitivity and eliminating its directionality. The attempt failed this time, but likely will reappear.

It's the entire suite of scents your body puts off. Sweat makes some of them more volatile.

What works for some people, like myself, is high doses of B vitamins, start taking them a few weeks before mosquito season starts. It changes the scent of your body, probably eliminating some of the chemicals mentioned in TFA. Doesn't work for everyone, depends on your genetic makeup.

"Safety, security, buy a better rig to run my shit because I'm not optimizing this for peasants" being the clarion call of the bottom feeder tier software development that was massively encouraged over last decade or so is indeed the thing I'm decrying.

It's the IT version of "learn to code".

AI could solve this by bypassing this moat to enable translation to openCL.

Considering just how good AI is at this sort of work once properly trained, I would be surprised if this doesn't happen. Though Nvidia will certainly fight anyone trying to do this to slow it down.

Demand software developers start caring about memory print of their software again. Both in RAM and storage.

Unironically. We've lived out at least a decade and a half of "this software stack is utterly unoptimized garbage" "who cares, just slap bigger system requirements. We're not spending money on optimizing something that doesn't matter to anyone since hardware is advancing so fast".

It's good that every decade or so we get a memory and storage crunch and developers actually have to rediscover things like better compression algorithms and methods, proper garbage collection, and general software optimization.

Seriously, have you seen the size requirements of modern games? Have you seen the retarded chugging of modern office software running win11 on 8GB RAM machines when they have to actually start swapping? Have you experienced the joys of Chrome and all the memes about it being a ramvore?

What in the actual fuck are those tabs doing eating gigabytes of RAM? And why in the fuck are most Chromium based browser installs now almost a gig of storage?

You could do the same things a decade and a half ago on 4 gigs RAM and tiny SSDs that were less than one gigabyte and the system flew and most things except the porn torrents could be stored on it.

And then you consider "ok, what did we actually get for that insane increase in system demands?"

Built in always on spyware. Slightly redesigned UI according to the latest fashion trends. A few arcane additional features barely anyone uses. Games with "that unreal look" that look worse than unreal games a decade ago. And "modern" webpages that essentially ask you one question: "Would you like scrips with those scripts so you can enjoy scripts while you're enjoying scripts".

While reading a text based news article.

Just kidding. They don't ask.

To be fair, quite a few AIs already use reddit as a source of information.

They just don't elevate it to level of "trustworthy/expert/authoritative" in general.

That said, it's always funny when someone shows you "look AI supports my really stupid take" screenshot of AI answer, and AI shows that it used reddit as a source/reference for the answer.

Will this decision be used in court of law as a good argument for increased damages due to "gross incompetence" rather than mere "incompetence"?
