Comment So now we can curse that DRUNK trump appointed... (Score 1) 77

Lot of good it'll do as the terminators kill us all...
They should have renamed themselves Skynet; maybe then Drump wouldn't have added to the problem.

(PS I don't think it's going to be intelligent. but that doesn't mean it can't follow the plotline of all those sci-fi books which nearly all say to kill humans.)

Comment Re:Bad Science: It was No Child Left Behind (Score 0) 104

I've said for decades now, it was DESIGNED to ruin public education by the GOP I know an insider who told me so! Education was too popular so it had to be ruined so then it can be "reformed" in the way they want. We are so great and super we can wreck a few generations and somehow become #1 anyway; their beliefs will make us even greater, blah blah blah. It's a cult and their baseless plans are a faith. It all began with Nixon. The current plan however began with Bush Jr. It had enough to appease democrats and the idea was to try to use them against themselves. Screwing up good ideas which help sell the thing and keep it going... Similar to how mega corp disasters end up in regulations designed to slightly curb them but mostly harm smaller competition if not directly strengthen the criminals.

Comment Ignore the drunk, sue everybody. (Score 1) 190

By the time the lawsuits are done Hegseth will be done and they probably will win some money. Also they should monitor his personal usage to the free apps they provide him... probably plenty of stuff in there and he's not smart enough to avoid it; also not illegal, you could put in a disclaimer and he'd miss it.

Comment Perfect Crime (Score 1) 37

You launder crimes with an AI bot in a way that provides no trail back to your actual clear orders... a local AI or maybe one pretending to be a mobster and you forgot to tell it to switch out of character...

When the crime comes back to you; if it does, depending on how well you set all this up... you have plausible deniability. You could simply have a history of training the bot to understand your inferred intent (which they seem to be doing maybe? or it's close to inference which is the BFD of the century if it's really doing that.) This would be just like a mobster does (or like Trump does) and keeps them from obvious clear cut convictions; mandating reasonable conclusions to be drawn from common sense (which is not so common; especially, in the USA.)

Comment F that! Ban ICE (Score 1) 169

You get time to transition to EV... You apply for a permit exception but otherwise, we ban your car on public roads. You DO NOT have the right to drive on roads - you may remember getting a driver's license which was not free and mandates compliance to regulations...aka "rules of the road."

You earn and pay for the privilege to drive! If you have a track on your private property, go ahead and drive in circles all you like and buy anything out there ... well, except a tank and a ton of other things you are still not allowed the right to purchase even if they never leave your property again.

Eventually, enough Americans will stop being selfish morons... nope. More likely EV is just so much cheaper and better people switch over; also peer pressure. Oh, but what about every American who can't ever afford an EV because ...the #1 richest country on earth?

THINK. Wake up and stop dreaming... American Dream is aptly named, as George Carlin famously pointed out.

Comment Re:Hackable (Score 4, Insightful) 37

It is NOT legally binding. An employee representing the company can get them bound into legal troubles while an AI might do crazy stuff it's not a legal representative of the company. Some bad PR but they can backtrack from a crazy AI mistake and I don't see lawsuits going against them in any meaningful way.

What we need to do is to require AI representatives be as legally bound as an actual human employee. Then watch the corps be extremely careful in what roles they deploy these agents.

Comment Re:Seriously? (Score 1) 37

I'd say; outside of seeing a human avatar, there is not much difference between a meat-based drone and the new video screen human looking avatar.... except much more wordy conversation that can go on as long as you have time for.

In the future, if you want to know if the bot is human based or AI, see how much they try to shorten the conversation - because the human wants you out of their face before you open your mouth.

Comment Silicone (Score 2) 95

It's not as nice but I found silicone works best for the noise canceling sony... Aliexpress sells them. It lasts forever and can be cleaned. Normal headphones are best with cotton covers sold for pilots who have long days with headphones on; those need washing but handle moisture/humidity well.

Leather is like the silicone but hard to clean or look clean, is stiffer, just about as hot it won't last nearly as long. - I doubt most leather pads are thick enough to last much longer than the cotton ones.
