Comment Re:Trump / Hegseth (Score 1) 10

He'd like to but he's constrained by being a weenie. He never hits at anyone who can hit back. And he's already fired a lot of the cyber cops we did have. Something about keeping his minder in the Kremlin happy and some future deal with Xi from which he expects to profit handsomely. He isn't hard to figure out.

"That starts with enforcing a fucking border. " Why? What do you hope to gain by keeping out a large group of people who want to work in the U.S., pay taxes, raise families, and generally work in jobs native born Americans won't touch? Who's more American than these people? Answer: Not You.

Comment how about a pardon? (Score 0) 71

I think with the correct amount of monetary contribution to el Bunko, the boy can be brought back into the space program. It's magic!!!

Recall the Honduran president el Bunko just pardoned? The one who helped ship 100s of tons of cocaine to the U.S. Starting several years ago, his "people" started making the "correct" contributions to "Republicans" (read: el Bunko) and, as if by magic, a pardon appears.

Meanwhile el Bunko is blowing up small vessels off Venezuela arguing they are carrying fentanyl. They aren't, fentanyl doesn't come in boats from Venezuela. It comes via Mexico from chemicals supplied by China. Is he blowing up Chinese boats carrying these chemicals? Nope. That's because he never smacks anyone that can hit back because he's basically a weenie.

Comment Re:Has Climate Doom Modeling Turned Into Clickbait (Score 1) 130

"Humans invent things."

No shit, including that anthropomorphic driven climate change is not a problem.

"AI is already chewing through research faster than half the committees publishing these forecasts."

Really? AI is now doing climate forecasting. Do tell. How's it doing on physics? Or chemistry outside of a few edge cases? Mathematics is not science but much science is based on mathematics. Where's the AI research breakthroughs on math?

"We’re developing materials, energy systems, geo-tech and carbon-capture methods that simply didn’t exist when the early models were written."

So what? There's no guarantee these will help climate change. Many might hurt climate change. And you have no way to predict it.

"Pretending society won’t respond, won’t adapt and won’t innovate is probably the most unrealistic assumption in the whole exercise."

Bullshit. "society" has shown very little in the way of adaptation. In fact, "society" is busy pumping more CO2 and Methane into the atmosphere than ever before. The American West is drying out because of it. Does it cause Americans do anything more than move? Not effectively.

Your entire screed is nothing more than whistling past the graveyard.

TDS? I do not think we need to bring the ability to believe la Presidenta into this.

la Presidenta First Rule: Nothing is done by him until he receives payment.

la Presidenta Second Rule: He destroys everything he touches.

la Presidenta Third Rule: You cannot set the morals and ethics bar so low that he cannot find a way to limbo under it.

I was wondering the same thing; if OpenAI's AI was all they cracked it up to be, it should have this problem solved already and they'd be implementing it.

Let's reword the Sam Altman's communique: Holy Shit!! We owe a fuckton of money and we don't have the faintest of fuzzies how we'll be in a position to repay it....unless one of you stiffs.....errrr.....valued employees hit a home run. Think of coming up with something as big as AI that we can punt and then I can still be the billionaire of my dreams. Surely you all want that, right?

Tats sort of look okay up until age 30. Between 30-40, you look like you are fighting old age and losing. Between 40-50, you look like you are trying to fit into your kids' social group. Between 50-60, you look like your crazy uncle having a mid-life crisis. Between 60-70, you look like you think you are still 18 going on 80. Between 70-80, you look like a badly worn carpet, Between 80-90, you are absolutely hideous and they make you look like a decayed corpse. From 90 on, you will be a decayed corpse before you are a decayed corpse.
