Kinda. Dems run the big cities. Reps run everything else. It's hardly a pure red state anywhere in Texas. As for public records requests, there are people who literally file for these all day long, every single day, forever. I'd see these things come in every day. We couldn't tell if people were actually looking for something or if we were getting trolled. Finally, we started asking for money to pay for all of the time and work we did, suddenly 99.9% of the requests went away.

That trial did leave me wondering if America even has a future at this point. I try to be positive, but that bar keeps getting lowered every year. Never thought killing kids would be normalized.

It's a brave new world of endless incompetence.

In K-12, chromebooks are replacing everything.

We can pray for such a future.

About damn time.

I guess it depends on how big of a ballistic missile stockpile you wanted them to have when the next conflict started or if they were going share those weapons with their allies. Iran with modern weapons would be a nightmare to deal with. The nature of war is changing and nothing is predictable anymore.

It seems to me every business level security camera has these AI features now. Everyone focuses on just Flock while overlooking what the entire industry is doing. Cyberpunk is slowly becoming reality.

I have noticed that my Firefox browser has had similar issues in the last week.I haven't had real issues in years. I didn't think about checking memory at the time. I wish I had. Hopefully, it's a non-issue or gets patched soon.

If I had a dime for every time AI hallucinated an answer that was pure BS, I'd have a down payment on a Wataburger combo. I'm not sure AI should be called AI.

Goths are my personal fetish. Now, you made me grab a history book.

Right now I don't think AI developers even know what they want to do with it. It has purpose, but they want AI in everything. I'm kinda getting tired of it all. Maybe, I'm just turning into a boomer. However, it would be nice to see memory prices drop if everything crashed.

AI is just software. It's like building a skyscraper. If you can't understand how to create scope and boundaries for the data sets, why are you making it in the first place. It's not self aware. If your skyscraper suddenly falls over, it's on you. If your AI needs a kill switch, why can't you turn it off? Did you hire a monkey to train it?

I've always assumed dark *anything* was nonsense. I want science & math, not dark sorcery. All we know is that the numbers don't add up and we still don't understand a lot of things about how reality functions. We've made vast assumptions from our little mud ball. It might take thousands of years to work it out. Still, progress is happening.

I have to assume this is more about data collection for AI rather than AI features. They said AI-suggested apps, so I assume its optional I hope.
