Yeah, I got that, but this was the particular part I was reacting to:
“He continued, “And applied to AI? That’s a terrifying possibility. Terrifying. Not least because as AI systems go into the defense infrastructure, ultimately they’ll be charged with nuclear weapons and if we allow people to say that that’s a separate entity from the person’s whose wielding, programming, putting AI into use, then we’re doomed.”
Possibly I misread it.
Excuse me, what? I fervently hope nobody is considering letting an “AI” get anywhere near anything nuclear! Despite whoever happens to be in the White House at any particular time, the upper echelons of the US military seem to be generally sane and smart enough to know that allowing glorified predictive text to control city-destroying superweapons is a bad idea.
AIs aren’t anything of the sort. They’re not intelligent at all, and we should stop calling them that. It just gives people weird, unrealistic ideas about their capabilities.
Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I’m there.
There’s more than that too. Like Pixelfed for images and Funkwhale for music streaming.
Check out this Feditips thread for a bunch of stuff.
I think most of us who want to rejoin are perfectly aware that that’s never coming back. We chopped it up, set it on fire, and pissed on the ashes. Against my wishes and those of half the country, but we did. So be it. But if a nebulous vision of reclaiming what we had can get people thinking about rejoining, I’ll take it. Anything is better than the current disaster.
Over on Mastodon, there are relays you can sub to to help populate things. I don’t think there’s any such functionality in this corner of the fediverse yet, but it’s surely only a matter of time.
It got dropped by Syfy after three seasons and picked up again by Amazon for a further three seasons. Bezos was apparently a fan. They didn’t renew it after that, but it ended in a decent place, closing out a lot of the plot lines while leaving the door open for more. There’s some stuff setting up future plot threads that they don’t get to address, but it mostly won’t leave you hanging. It’s well worth finishing.
I won’t spoil anything, but adapting the final trilogy would involve some difficult changes and be very expensive, so I suppose it’s understandable that they didn’t keep it going, as much as that sucks. Maybe one day. There’s comics and a Telltale game coming out, so there’s still life in it yet. And you can always read the books.
Currently binging Justified in preparation for the new one. I haven’t fully rewatched it since it first aired, and I’d forgotten just how awesome it is. I feel like it’s a show that got lots of critical praise but never really the viewership it deserved and has been somewhat forgotten, which is sad because it’s fantastic. So many awesome characters and so much wonderful writing.
I do not understand why Google has become so ossified. They must know they’re strangling their own business, surely? Do they somehow think they’re irreplaceable? That no one will ever build a better search engine? And the best they can come up with is AI-generated search nonsense? As if that’s going to help.
Stop trying to make maximum profits for minimum effort, fire whatever useless exec is in charge over there, and get someone who actually wants to fix things before someone eats your lunch, Google!
