Celebrating someone's death is low-class.

Making a death threat is a crime. There is a difference.

I am strongly opposed to age verification.

However, given that the developer faced (according to the article) "harassment, doxxing, death threats, and a flood of hate mail", maybe we need some form of maturity verification? There's no call for that sort of crap. And I really hope that criminal charges are filed against anyone sending death threats.

I think AI is not becoming more "human" every day. The A in AI should really stand for "Alien".

If we ever do achieve AGI (which I doubt... but let's play devil's advocate) the experience of the AGI will be very different from that of humans, and the form its intelligence will take will also likely be very different and alien to us. An intelligence that has never inhabited a biological body nor interacted with other humans is likely to have very different ways of thinking and very different goals from us. Are we able to control that?

OpenAI is definitely headed for bankruptcy. Porn has always been the thing that turbo-charged technological advances. Do you really think VCRs and high-speed Internet were invented for any other reason? :)

You'll probably save $50 per year or more in electricity costs by switching to a Pi.

Moltbook is going to institute a "Prove you're a Robot" requirement.

Yes and no...

I would love to have seen the footage of the two humanoid robots meeting.

I suggest you visit Toronto some time if you think Canada is homogeneous...

Not all AI. Some is good, like image-recognition, audio transcription, etc. But these LLMs and GPT bullshitters need to die.

I want my car (or any other form of transportation) to get me from A to B as cheaply and reliably as possible and in reasonable comfort. I don't want "infotainment". I don't want the car to be "smart". I don't want anyone tracking me. Just A to B, cheaply, reliably and comfortably.

WTF is wrong with corporations nowadays?

I am singling out American auto-makers because they are the worst. They exploit the "light truck" rule. And when Trump decided to destroy our car manufacturing industry here in Canada, the American automakers didn't even give a whimper of protest. They just said to Canada: "Thanks for all the tax breaks over the years, but we're outta here!"

Fuck 'em.

I will never buy an American car again.

What with oil heading for $200/bbl, now couldn't be a better time to abandon renewables! What a masterful move!

We were talking about naked shorts. Which even the corrupt US market made illegal 20 years ago
