so like, i’m with you, only it’s not just artificial intelligence it’s also the power requirements. usable fusion is always 5 years away. like there’s even been articles about it. scaling up green energy just to meet our demands (and i’m not an expert, i’m just really good at estimating) could provide the power to a society, but the first few AI will need many times that. as i understand my Machine Learning colleagues from college (and it’s been a while since i’ve spoken to these friends, you know the type you see them every few years and no time has passed) we’re really good at throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks. getting the spaghetti to cook itself, throw itself at the wall, and stick the first try? well we can make it look like that happens

valid point, but you’ve got to consider (and forgive the statesian overton window) Red State “Liberal” and Blue State “Conservative” used to have a fair amount of overlap. at least they seemed to when i was a child. not sure whether that’s naivety or actual position shifts.

Shit I fucked up the comment

i mean you say that, but every time i see an AI or algorithm try to work in one of my fields of expertise it’s laughable how bad it is. maybe it’s not obvious to the layman, but try to ask it about something you’re an expert in. like it gives explicitly wrong information. people think it only hallucinates 1/5 of the time because the other 4/5 they’re asking about shit they don’t know

and it should be EDM except an accordion choir. So, uh, AADM?

no thank you. I will turn them into doves instead

me

i propose a new hypothesis that the factor of degradation is geometric because now we can disagree about and test something. isn’t collaborative science fun!

i mean it fell over and burned down a few times but we got her up eventually

Excuse me but I proposed a hypothesis and the irb said yes

i mean if i sit really really still i swear i can feel spin in my brain. mine is clockwise. not sure what that means, but my wife always backs a different way out the driveway than i do.

Natalia. Choose your last name for your next assignment

didn’t we crucify Clinton for shit less obvious than this?

That’s U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman for the Northern District of Texas in DfW making this decision on the record.

i mean it’s our barbecue leftovers and they taste good together. more of a tex-mex (tex-galician? i don’t know where empanadas are from they’re just delicious) flavor but i haven’t gotten complaints yet.

i figure most people who don’t like kohl slaw have only had nasty kohl slaw. the secret is you slice half the cabbage really thin, and half the cabbage a little thicker. also we add apples because we have a lot of good apple orchards nearby

okay, that sounds like a very low and very high number of drownings at the same time. quick and dirty analysis. 40 deaths due to one cause in one day is alarming even when your metropolitan population is 66 million. Normally there are 1,000 drowning deaths per year. Ish. That’s 1/25th the budgeted drownings for the country in a single [time period oopsie misread the article. maybe 5 days? point still stands]. Like, 40 is a small absolute number but per capita per [short time period] it’s a LOT.

hence the government emergency meeting.

just had to drive up to the top of the big hill with a pair of binoculars

Oh gods I’m going to have to remove the tpms in my teeth aren’t i
