Now talk about North Korea and Pakistan.

Bronze age religious crazies is relative. You have the orange turd telling the Pope he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Technically that was one of the orange turd's "advisors," but this administration also employs someone who thinks getting blackout drunk and waking up at Waffle House means he teleported, so, you know, confusing which of them said what is completely understandable.

Playing with things we dont understand. I am flooded with visions of foot xray machines being useful, asbestos not catching fire, uranium paint glowing not being any problem, heavy lead making gasoline octane ratings higher....

So many useful things here people. Did you know if you take small electric shocks across your temple your vision flickers! Just touch the metal radiator at the back of the classroom that is ungrounded for some reason, then touch your temple. Everyone tried it. I knew better.

Taking a solid blow to the head can often induce a brilliant sensation of a flash in the eyes. Something I'd be happy to provide these researchers, should they be interested in experiencing the sensation.

Comment Local Man Abandons Honest Living (Score 4, Insightful) 86

A local warehouse clerk announced Tuesday that he intends to start mugging strangers because of recent developments in artificial intelligence security. Derek "Deke" Hargrove, 34, told reporters that powerful AI systems can now analyze any publicly available information about a person and turn it into a perfect plan for exploitation. "Any data you put out there -- your routines, your photos, your habits -- it is all open-source to these AI models now," Hargrove said outside a Loop coffee shop, with a ski mask visible in his back pocket. "They can study it and build a complete blueprint to rob or target you. Living a normal digital life just is not safe anymore."

Hargrove added that conventional security measures have become ineffective. "The only truly secure option left is to go fully analog," he said. "No digital trail, no logs, no AI predicting my every move. Just me, a dark street, and whoever walks by with cash in their pocket." He said he intends to launch his new career tomorrow night.

It's kind of silly. There's an absolute limit to the amount of productivity that can be had at a given price point. Demand more work and your best leave. Pay less and they leave and also you can't recruit. Same with cutting benefits and so on. In a recession like the one we're in you can squeeze a little more but that's still going to bite you in the ass later.

Do theaters still get 0% of the box office and rely solely on ad revenue and dwindling sales of overpriced concessions for all their income? If so, it's easy for this kind of greedy idiot to complain about it, but ultimately meaningless.

Last I checked, it was a changing percentage. First release, 0% for the theater. Second or third week it goes to something like 10% for the theater. As the weeks go on, it continues to climb until you get to the third-run theaters where the percentage is somewhere in the 75-90% theater take, but that's typically after the movie has been out for months already.

They have a cut per second, unrelatable characters, clashes between acting and directing, lectures about how my sex and race are evil, terrible fight scenes where blows never land, poorly mixed audio, hundred pound women punching out 200 pound men, and very little originality. If the studios would make decent movies, there would be enough seats filled.

Comment Re:If your stalker need (Score 1) 89

If you stalker needs face recognition to identify you; are they stalking you at all? That one does not even really make sense.

I would imagine it's a "one step up the chain" problem. Basically, if facial recognition is utilized to the fullest, without your own consent, Meta will have the option of tagging spottings for you by address, by map, by street, by landmarks, or whatever. So, if someone is stalking you, they don't even necessarily need to own a pair of the glasses. They can just check to see where you've been tagged recently and head out to find you.

Think they're beyond that type of thing? Think about how many photos you've been tagged in that were uploaded without your consent from "friends" that just upload every picture. It's not that far of a stretch.

I mean, the lower level managers wonâ(TM)t have a job to do once they have no one to manage. Itâ(TM)ll be reduced to just the managers who are needed to figure out what the product is.

Our management team are currently busy having AI write their single sentence reports into giant sprawling messes that the next up the chain uses another AI to summarize as a single sentence that may or may not resemble the original single sentence. They're already automating the main functions of their jobs, and they aren't bright enough to realize that's what they're doing. And all you need to decide what the product is is a sales manager and a marketing manager. The people that know the technical details don't get any say even now, so no need to worry about them getting let go as AI can bring the fantasies to life for the sales and marketing teams. Gonna be amazing when the only people left with jobs are the lowest dregs of humanity, marking, sales, and advertising. I suppose sprinkle a few lawyers in there just to keep it deep in the mud. Glorious future we've got coming.

If these people are targeting Sam Altman in order to hinder progress in AI, they are aiming at the wrong target.

Shooting at Sam Altman over the state of current AI is like shooting at Ronald McDonald because you got a bad cheeseburger. It's not gonna change anything, but I suppose you may get a little Warhol effect fame.
