Almost certainly would be more accurate.

In the AI vs lawyers study, twenty lawyers reviewed five NDAs alongside the AI.

US lawyers with decades of experience in corporate law and contract review were pitted against the AI algorithm to spot issues in five Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). . .

Results:

        On average, the lawyers took 92 minutes to finish reviewing the contracts compared to the AI taking 26 seconds.
        The AI finished the test with an average accuracy rating of 94%, while the lawyers achieved an average of 85%.

Never mind the past, that's what the majority of them still do. Few professions are more adverse to modernization than lawyers and judges, that's why Word Perfect is still used by a large percentage (if not the majority) of legal offices. If your shyster submits 20 items as evidence the judge is not going to check out more than the first few and assume the rest are more of the same, and in the legal profession there is no automated way to check the rest for validity. If your lawyer doesn't check them (probably because you can't afford to pay their grotesquely inflated hourly fees) then they could include references to cases with DIRECTLY CONTRADICT their position. (This has happened, even in Supreme Court cases.)

I'd propose grinding the first million of them into Soylent Green, at least then humanity would get something of value out of them.

Oh, hell yeah. A package of morning glory seeds is enough for a light-to-medium trip. For some reason Heavenly Blue and Pearly Gates colors seem to be stronger than others. Processors used to put a small amount of strychnine on them, not to make people eating them sick as the general belief went but to ensure that they wouldn't have fertile seeds. They don't do that any more but if you search you can find organic seeds that wouldn't have it. A certain amount of nausea is common anyway, if you need to barf just do it and get it out of the way, by the time that happens you've already absorbed the LSD Amine and the body will break that down into Lysergic acid diethylamide.

I think this may have been part of the impetus to try to bankrupt Russia through the Ukraine war and orchestrating sanction after sanction. They've shot themselves in the foot though, rather than imploding Russia's economy is stronger than before and now far less reliant on the West than any time in the last century.

Compaq and Microsoft had a Redmond lab which was porting Windows 2000 to the Alpha chip. Unfortunately Capellas was more interested in the upcoming merger with HP stopped production of the Alpha. At that time my company's fastest Intel server ran a P-166 while 64-bit Alpha chips that ran at 550 mhz were available.

Probably because of the people involved, which makes them more likely to be successful than other startups.

When our best Intel server was a P-166 we also had an 550 mhz Alpha, which IIRC also had multiple pipelines.

Your argument is completely disingenuous. It actually weakens your argument, because if you had a good reason, you wouldn't be speaking obvious bullshit.

Every single person here knows that a car is generally used for normal, everyday stuff. Going to groceries, etc. If you see a car on a road, the chances are one in a million it's being currently used to commit a crime.

Likewise, every single person tech-literate enough to be on Slashdot knows this is used to store pirated media files, not your collections of homemade EDM or circa 1922 field recording.

Why BS? Why rely on an argument that everybody here knows isn't really true? Why not just call a spade a spade?

Never saw the point in awards shows, they're just popularity and influence contests for bragging rights.

That was 13 years ago, you're comparing a slide projector to a DVD player.

Actually it's there where we're already seeing the first impact on human employment. AI-trained robots are already running excavators and pouring foundations, and it's started creating detail blueprints for electrical, plumbing and HVAC with development coming to implement as much as possible of those plans. There is a lot of work in a large construction project which is brain-numbing repetition of the same movements over and over with small variations, a problem which AI is well equipped to handle.

Good. I worked as a techie in live theater for five years, finally left swearing to never return until they had replaced actors with holograms (of course then you don't need the lighting guy any more, either.) Some of the worst people in the world. (Then there are the 'stage mothers', who are a whole order of magnitude worse than their brats.)

No. You may be thinking of the Spanish claims about the Aztecs, which were almost certainly grotesquely exaggerated but they killed anyone who dared to argue so we'll never know. Archeologists have never found any evidence of the claimed slaughter, in spite of a century of searching. They have found mass graves of people who died of smallpox, influenza, cholera, typhoid, salmonella, tuberculosis, and the like.

They were destroyed by 90% of their population dying of diseases bred in the incredible filth of Medieval Europe.

The Inca carved entire valleys into works of art, had no hunger, no beggars, no unemployed, no starving widows and orphans.
