Are they going to chip you, or control your brain by more direct means?

These homeless shoppers are likely to get poached sooner rather than later. With the deep knowledge they build up of any given Walmart store's layout, they'd make good candidates to get hired into the store's online grocery pickup (OGP) department.

I don't know if HEB includes a tip, but I know that Walmart doesn't do tips. When I worked in the front end of a Walmart Supercenter six years ago, associates were trained to refuse tips, and if someone insists, to ring it up as a donation to whatever charity Walmart is collecting for at the time. Often that ends up being the nearest Children's Miracle Network hospital.

The noise is a HUGE problem!

If a drone stops working correctly, it could crash into your house and start a fire.

Thanks for clarifying. I hadn't heard it that way, but usually some form with a J, such as Jina or Jhina. Yet I could have picked up your intention from the repetition. The YOB may have an additional delusion about saying any lie three times to make it true?

I'm no longer looking forward to his disappearance. Rather I'm expecting the next version to be worse. Too many cases over the decades of "Surely the next one can't be worse..." Dan Quayle looks so quaintly harmless now.

Stop insulting the poor but honest and hard-working vultures.

(Low hanging joke I was looking for, but a pretty good FP anyway.)

Funny anecdote time. I once worked for a lawyer, at least technically. He had the degree and passed the bar, but never practiced law. He also had an MBA and had spent some years working for a major bank before taking over his father's real estate company (where I was the database programmer). Also a drinking buddy, and he really surprised me with some of the negative things he said about lawyers and real estate people, but especially about bankers.

But from the intrinsic selfishness of your question and answer, I wonder if you're a fake Republican or just think you're a real one.

So before the character limit cut my Subject, the joke was going to be:

How about an AC "Kill" switch? But no intelligence involved in AC, even the ACs that are just AI sock puppets.

(Yes, I know about the Slashdot settings to minimize my exposure to AC, but troll feeders are still visible and when they provoke questions, that sometimes involves invoking AC in search of context. Adding a setting for reducing the visibility of replies to AC would be a cumbersome solution approach, but (1) Slashdot lacks the resources to implement solutions and (2) A real solution needs to go upstream, not farther downstream. (Had you noticed that Slashdot seems to be down to its last editor? But apparently working no harder than before, so the story and discussion lifetime has increased to three days?)

However the real reason to reply is to ask what is the meaning of "ginar"? Are you trying to drive me to Bing? You already drove me to the google, and these days I always hate those driving diversions.

Speaking of "hate", I actually think rsilvergun deserves some sort of credit, but I'm not sure what sort or how to build a good joke around it. I actually think it's a good thing to make the right sort of enemy, and it is clear that some instantiations of AC regard themselves as enemies of rsilvergun, but does any AC have enough significance to count as a "right sort of enemy"? (This paragraph/joke should cite Profiles in Courage by JFK. Just read a 2003 reprinting with a new foreword by Caroline...)

Oh, and on the YOB's attempted rebranding of AI, he should read Bostrom's book. I don't think the YOB is up to it, but at least he might have understood that superintelligence is the bad guy. Renaming AI as SI is sort of like a wannabe politician changing his name to Adolf Stalin to get the maximum amount of instant name recognition. The joke would be the appropriate middle name, but I'm coming up blank and I don't feel like asking any of the AIs for suggestions, even though it would be an interesting comparative test...

Okay, a light bulb went on: Adolf Hirohito Stalin. But any mention of a light bulb makes me lament the LED-driven death of light bulb changing jokes...

High earners don't shop at Walmart, either.

Want to try again?

Yes, but think how great the fire sale is going to be for everyone else.

Well, some people think AI will extinctify us within four years, whereas if the IRGC gets nukes they'll figure out like everyone else that they can't actually use them except in self defense without getting erased, so the only difference will be that we won't be able to try crush them anymore.

Yes, tell us how easy the current effort is turning out to be. Someone grabbed a tiger by the tail and can neither subdue it nor let go. The IRGC is probably laughing its ass off.

The first step in dealing with AI issues is to give full details about how AI is developed.

A HUGE amount has been written about AI, but apparently there are no books or articles about how AI is developed.

If people knew more, maybe there would be contributions to understanding of how to make AI safe.

And right on cue the YOB's defenders try to explain why their "philosophy" negates all concepts of liability when the victims are stupid peasants who don't deserve any of their libertarian liberty...

I'm actually looking forward to the SI swimsuit issue with virtual models having such new and improved features as seven YUGE boobs to grab. AI models always just let you.

And I've yet to meet a Libertarian who actually understand any of their worship words.
