Trump is an unstable moron.

The rest of *anyhing* he says is bullshit, and while he who asserts must prove, this is the default case. Trump must prove he's not a big ass in a pentagon shape on a t-shirt provided withhis made-in-the-usa TrumpPhone T1 (not available for sale, not made in the US).

Trump is a mem whose time went before it came. He defines meaningless reverse meme. May he rest in peace. There's that Nobel peace prize dangling, but nope, his bellicose belching farting fat-ass will never ever get it.

Man I miss President Obama.

A tool is an item used to in some way ease the required function. A jack lifts the car so a wheel with a good tire can replace the bad one without waiting for Arnold to come by and lift the vehicle. A table-saw cut a 2" x 12" into 2" x 4" and gets you less knotty non-warped boards for a better cost and better product. A cordless drill let's you pre-drill (that's "drill before you drill") and then drill for the head (countersink), then power a screw into it -- all without picking up a screwdriver.

AI, like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreeson are TOOLS. They are of no value until used, must be handled carefully because they can overpower the wrist, and must be properly prompted to get useful results.

However, the tool is not education. Learning to use a tool does not educate beyond exactly that. If you want to be a woodworker, for example, knowing how wood grows, is lumbered, felled, milled, etc. will explain that whole twoby thing and knots. Learning how to run a woodmill or be a tool like Thiel or Andreeson won't.

So yeah, maybe it's time to dumb down America (really the US pretending it's a continent) further. Instead of teaching about slavery, Jim Crow laws, emancipation, LGBTQ+, SCOTUS, the US Constitutions, and our laws... let's just teach how our current ubermasters want us to use their tools.

Peter Thiel is a forum-shopping free-speech hater who killed Buzz because he's gay and hates himself.
Marc Andreeson has money from once backing a good pony (Mozilla) with money he didn't earn. Now he tells others how awesome he is.

Why not just call Donny Trump (Jr or Sr) to join in this miserable group of losers? Remember, group, they may have money, but they're still tools.

Originally the misnomer Artificial Intelligence (AI) was applied to complex massive data analysis of stored language tokens (LLMs). That proved better to promote and market what isn't "intelligence" and "artificial" implies there's a "natural" intelligence but what computer does that? I'll call it AI here to keep it short.

AI company leaders in the US want a slowdown in AI development to prevent so-called "rogue" AIs or anything that will annihilate mankind. So far the only things threatening to do that are Donald Trump, and previously Adolph Hitler.

Trump wants AI renamed, mostly because it's too difficult for our stable [aritificial?] genius to spell or pronounce AI, so he wants to call it Super Intelligence. His family is hot on making T-shirts with a pentagon S on it (Pete Hegseth is creaming his shorts) and it will be Super, which is better than what China's AI has because theirs is NOT super, no S or pentagon or anything like that. Hegseth in background audio: Boo-Yeah!!!

I'm so happy we have the best dear leader ever and his own super intelligence will ensure all our AI are belong to him and his family. If you're still waiting for your made-in-America TrumpPhone may I recommend a payphone on the corner. Watch out for Agent Smith in a garbage truck

Soul Coughing declared yesterday that Super Bon Bon is better than Super Intelligence. Step aside; let the man go through.

Credits: Paul Tracy, the 1994 CART broadcast team. Keith Jasinski, Nick Challis, Vivian Tracy, Bonnie Joyce Minagil, Manic, Obi-Wan (he's your only hope) and the Trump family, who is the only super artificial intelligence lacking both superiority and intelligence. Can't wait till Ivanka "develops" that "island" she "discovered" that happens to be an Albanian preserve. But sociopaths with a thick wad of cash ad no intelligence (just Super Intelligence) don't mind that.

SBF doesn't get a pardon because he didn't suck donny's nubbin. All those January 2016 MAGA cop-killing assholes got pardons.

SBF wants to have his case heard by SCOTUS but it doesn't work that way. You have to buy Uncle Thomas a 1/4mil motorcoach first, along with a laminated explanation story so he can tell everyone how he came by it while pulling himself by his bootstraps.

And finally, SBF is one weirdo with a gorilla-cookie girlfriend. If he had Kim K to speak for him, then, and only then,

Justice would be done!

The PIGS Act would be more appropriate. Studies show the Internet, access to it, and social media in particular, have no negative impact on teens. To the country, access to material on natural parts of life, growing up in society, and seeking information, acceptance, and methods of handling "teenhood" is improved.

No, the people who need to stay away from social media are lying grifting criminal rapists and their constant barrage of lies and threats. Some have created (or bought) their own social medium because their sociopathic posting is antithetical to truth, honest, reality, truth, and not trying to mobilize masses of gullible (non-teen) idiots.

The Protect Internet from Goverment Stupidity (PIGS) Act would remove political hacks, grandstanders, liars, thieves, cheats, carnies, and murderous LEOs from this public plaza.

Waking up tomorrow to no more blathering stupid made up stuff by cluless politicians would be helpful. Requiring proof of age and limiting expression of minors is harmful, stupid, and exactly what is expected of the thieves and self-dealers in government.

USA Today headline: "Teen Reading Slumps... Due to Surge in Screen Time" isn't part of the study, and isn't proven by the study.

Grades are dropping, so if grades are an indication of reading ability then [age group divided] teen reading slumps. Sure. And the use of digital devices is on the rise -- they don't prove, but they say. It used to the boggieman was video games. Before that TV. Before that radio. Apparently EVERYTHING is the cause of people becoming stuipider.

> East Asia was the best-performing region. Chinese cities that participated in the test, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan had the best educational systems with Britain and Estonia the only countries outside the region that made it into the top 10 in reading, mathematics and science.

So why not break it out by country? Why not add a screentime column to the the matrix. Why not prove SOME causality SOMEWHERE. Too hard I guess.

When electric lights came out people detested them and persisted in using candles. When radio came out newspapers spoke out and lout against these stupefying machines that couldn't possibly distill a newspaper written by gumshoe street reporters over some voice in a box. TV was worse. How enrapting. Then video games. Then electronic toys.

The problems with a reduction in elementary language skills have more to do with the dumbification of schools, the "all child left behind to wait for that one child" and other idiotic programs. But China doesn't have them, nor does Estonia. And why isn't the rest of the FSU affected.

This is 100% non-science CRAP. There is no proven causal link. Just like with blue light now known NOT to affect sleep or salt now known NOT to affect blood pressure.

Go on teens, enjoy your surfing and keep getting B's and C's. School is a racket.

There are two types of cops: bad cops, and the ones who allow that to go on.

Cops spend more timing complaining that they need to be protected, that their job is dangerous, that people shouldn't have rights because "officer safety" and then they kill innocent people almost daily. "He weaponized his car." No, he drove away from your murderous testosterone-shot addled steroid-induced killer self.

Giving these assholes on roids access to military weapons was a mistake we (people who have not comitted a crime worth killing us in this society) will pay for -- for a long long time. SWAT's "S" is "Special" and to today's cops it's just an acronym that means moare gunz, moare mortars, moare battering ram tanks. What used to be a "special weapons and tactics" program that started in the LA area and had its own TV show is now a modern shitshow disaster all over the US as idiot incompetent fat donut-slacker buffoon cops "for officer safety" bulldoze their way through people's homes, cars, offices, daycares, etc.

AND NOW THEY WANT WEAPONIZED AERIAL DELIVERY AIRCRAFT!!! These pieces of shit can't drive a squad car without hitting something and they want to take to the air --unregulated because "we're law enforcement"-- and SHOOT and EXPLODE people?

Civilians. That's what THEY call US. "Thin Blue Line" - that's the made up barrier that puts THEM on one side and US on the other.
No. Military is military. Everyone else, including cops, are civilians. If they "fear for their lives" and "need to be protected" and people
"weaponize their tonka trucks against them" -- time to find a job where they can work within the law, not be fucking murderous psycopaths.

Cops are a huge part of the problem. People who beg that question and just assume it's not a problem and lend an ear to cops' whining
about their lack of magical protection from the "civilians" they're going to kill, lie about, and cover up-- them's the problem.

The FAA didn't put regulations togethet in 1973 for noise. They put them in place to prevent Concorde from beating the pants of noncompetitive expensive under-providing US airlines.

For half a decade non-military flight over US land of supersonic aircraft has been banned due to protectionism.

If it was TRULY about the noise, military aircraft would have been included. They never were and 52 years later still are not.

It would be nice to be abused by TSA's "hands of blue" and "random rules" of the day in security-theater and FAs on a power trip kicking people off flights after downgrading their 100% cash paid FF tix. And now maybe instead of Mach0.85 we can do 2-3x that.

The US is a regulatory mess screwing the flying public to cotton to the least common denomintor -- US Senators.

Typically a preservation letter is sent out to let the recipient know that a court order will be forthcoming, and to preserve all files, metadata, images, etc. If you Google "sample preservation letter" one such example is https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cliffordlaw.com%2Fwp....

If the SFPD got this case in January, all they had to do is have some admin send some such letter to Waymo (and any nearby businesses with surveillance cameras) and then in March when they got their fat donut-eating asses on the case the evidence would be there. But they didn't bother.

That's police work in the US these days. They can't be bothered to do police work. Someone has to walk in and hand them a ribbon-wrapped case for them to be bothered to look at it. "Solving a case" isn't like on TV. On TV they have an hour to investigate, collate, deduce, confront, and arrest. In real life that's 3 months of donuts and sitting around watching your ass get all triangle-like, THEN blame Waymo.

Disgusting. I'm sure the Yoga studio is overjoyed.

This was attempted at Biosphere 2, just outside Tucson, Arizona. Also don't miss the Pauly Shore/Steven Baldwin/Tia Carrera movie "Biodome" which made it seem almost as funny as it really was.

The joke around Tucson was that if you wanted to meet a Biospherean, just go to Pizza Hut for buffet lunch... because they kept opening the doors to let more oxygen in... because concrete takes YEARS to cure and absorbs a ton of oxygen along the way.

Eventually the failure of an experiment was destroyed by its hippie ex-Biosphereans who busted open the doors to let the real Biosphereans out, thereby completely killing the closed-loop nature of the dome. (It IS a dome...)

This 387 day experiment will be a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. There's no mission to Mars nor will there ever be one. It's a suckers' game to see who will provide money to Elon and Fwends. Artemis is not even funny anymore, nor is the Senate Launch System or Huntsville Alabama. The only good thing to come out of Alabama is... nothing. They take taxpayer money and deliver inbred southern "charm."

But hey, science for science's sake can yield benefits. Like if it weren't for Biosphee 2 we'd never have known about concrete curing and oxygen consumption. That may help a Mars mission, but since there won't be one I guess it's not much help.

Best takeaway - the government is determined to waste our taxpayer money on bullcrap but pretend DOGGIE is saving us trillions of dollars. Meanwhile they divert fiber builds to Elon's Starlink, and attack major cities because "Big Balls" got beat up for being a bully in DC.

Where's the doorway to the alternate timeline?

TL;DR - if it can't provide consistent rersults nor be held responsible, "AI" will never replace humans.

E

Long version:
LLMs regurgitate previously spewed stuff (including from other LLMs) which they pretend to analyze.
Unfortunately this analysis yields inconsistent responses, so an LLM's answer to YOU may be different
than its answer to me. Further, sometimes they just create fiction our of nothing, which we RATIONALIZE
and PRETEND is "hallucination."

Software algorithms do not hallucinate. Software algorithms provide the same output given the same input
each and every time. 2 + 2 ALWAYS EQUALS 4. Any algorithm that is not consistent with this concept has
the flaw of nonrepeatability, nonreproceabliity, is nonscientific, and can't be trusted.

And then there's what thing about holding people responsible and accountable. Example: If you're the director
of human resources for a company, then your policies about how to deal with employees that don't show up should
be consistent. If they are not, well that's the nonrepeatability (above) but also you get to be held accountable. So
if you let Alice not show up on Mondays but you tell Bob he'll be fired for not showing up on Mondays, and tell Charlie
he has to work 80 hours a week... well at some point (lawsuits notwithstanding) you'll have to answer for your behavior.

AI is not held accountable. It can't and doesn't feel pain. You don't "fire" AI leaving it wondering where the next paycheck
will come from to pay for its home, spouse, children, vehicle, etc. You just retart it and a new "instance" is there to screw
your company again.

These are also reasons why Tesla will never ever achieve full self driving (FSD). Insurance companies and law enforcement
both want one neck to choke, and they have the most expensive lobbyists after pharmaceuticals. Insurance companies won't
insure a car that has no human driver they can punish (higher fees, non-renewal, cancellation, responsibility for accidents, etc.)
and law enforcement officers (LEOs) won't allow a driverless vehicle to drive on public roadways because they have nobody to
cite, ticket, file charges against, or remove privileges (driving, parking, etc.)

AI is just the current moniker for "broken software that is inconsistent, provides semi-random results, is GASLIGHTED as hallucnations,
and is neither scientific nor repeatable. It is aritficial in that it is man-made. So is poop. Both stink. It is not intelligence, as it lacks
various factors like self-evaluation, self-improvement, and any internalization of anything it is asked to do, does, say it did, or should do.

There are various factors in play, and while I mentioned lobbyists for insurance companies and LEOs, there are also "lobbyists" for the
"AI" industry. Those are called fundraisers, and just like CryptoBros, QuantumDudes, BlockchainBuds, and all the other fads in the past
decades, they exist to part fools from their money. Then those fools become evangelists. That doesn't make Crypto, Quantum, Blockchain,
Bitcoin, or any other other fads any less real. They exist to take money from people who call themselves "investors" but really they're gamblers.
The difference is an investment is a real interest in real things (property, money, rights, etc.) whereas gambling is buying something today
for X dollars hoping to sell it later for more than X dollars. You own nothing, have nothing, but you do have the right to swindle a future sucker.

Sam Altman is a smart guy - he gets people to give him money. That's not "genius". It's PT Barnum. Mark Zuckerberg may be a genius, but
his neurodiverse nature makes it difficult to accurately know. Jeff Bezos is the idiot who wanted to sell books online, and accidentally created
a backend that allowed international sales of various products by many many people. Fortunate for him (and his mom) but it wasn't the plan.

AI - not a thing. It's regurgitated spew in a mess on the wall and nothing is sticking.

But... one other thing is... companies that use AI to replace humans are just as stupid as companies that say other stupid things:
- Please listen carefully because our menu options have changed. Wait, WHEN did they change? Why should I have to hear this crap every time I call you since 1994?
- If this is an emergency please hang up and call 911. Sure, I'm calling the Doctor's office and I have an emergency but I'm too stupid to call 911 so to "reward" me I have to listen to this stupid disclaimer. Either connect me OR offer me "hit 9 to be connected to 911." (For non north American users, we use 911 as the short phone number for emergency services. You may know it as 999, 112, etc.)
- We are currently experiencing a high volume of calls. No, you're not. You are inadequately staffed. Stop lying and hire real people to talk to your customers.

If you've heard these messages and thought "oh well that's life" you tacitly allow these incompetent buffoons to keep doing that very same thing.

AI is not the problem. It's also not the solution. It's also not intelligent.

I hope you all have a great week. Monday is the start of it. AI doesn't exist. If you're still unconvinced, go tell ChatGPT to timestamp every answer and watch it lose its timekeeping marbles in less than one minute.

TL;DR - there is no man-made nuclear fusion and won't be for at least 5-15 years (meaning never). But it's good enough to get investors to throw money at it.

Nuclear fusion exists in hot stars, like our sun, Sol.

Human nuclear fusion does not exist. Not at all. Well, ok for nanoseconds in a one-time reaction that has never been replicated. So no science. Just fiction. Like Cold Fusion (thanks, Pons & Fleeischman). Bullshit to get investors to put money in. This article CLEARLY says that but you have to read between the lines. See the TL;DR above.

I'm sorry GAMBLERS pretend to be INVESTORS. An investor is an informed believer in a better tomorrow. A gambler is an idiot hoping to unload their worthless crap tomorrow for more than they paid today. That includes "fusion investors", "bitcoing believers", and any other idiot who buys ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OF VALUE for a WHOLE LOT OF MONEY hoping to turn that back into EVEN MORE money tomorrow.

No nuclear fusion to see here. Not in 2025. Not in 2030. Not even in the highly speculative 2040. Hope we're all still alive then.

2030 seems like a random number pulled out of an ass. Why 2030? That's like 4.25 years away. Why not 2031? 2036?

It's a stupid argument.

If your point is "this won't last forever" read up. We can drill. We can pump. We can desalinate. But that's just water.

None of that addresses carbon dioxide or the rest of the orange-face crud facing our planet.

We may not be alive in 10 years but the polution we ignore today will outlive us tomorrow.

Enough with the random dates. Start focusing on keeping our planet able to keep us alive and stop making excuses for stupid politiicians (e.g. Trump) who pretend there's no problem. There's a problem. We see it. If you can't handle it get out of the way.

Nepal? What's next, Thailand because the king was insulted?

Social media platforms DON'T want to have a registered agent because those agents get arrested and held responsible and fined for thing that USER GENERATED CONTENT (UGC) cause.

Elon (yeah he's a dick) found this out in El Salvador and El Salvador nationalized (stole) SpaceX funds to cover Twitter "fines" as a result.

Don't conduct business in third-world countries. Don't have a registered agent. Don't register with the government. You're a FREAKING WEBSITE where PEOPLE POST STUFF.

Nepal can go fuck itself. Its contribution to the world is being part of a peacekeeping force.
Keep the peace. But you get no pieces of FB, IG, Twitter, SC, etc.

Google does great things for millions of people.

Klobuchar whines about Sec 230, DMCA, Google, and is clearly an undereducated clown.

Enough with the clowins. Google's doing great. Keep on going, Google.
Klobuchar - shut your uneducated mouth.
