My favourite is Rhabarberbarbarabarbarbarenbartbarbierbier, but you can only get it in one particular bar.

11,000 lines of AI slop code, what could possibly go wrong?

Except that there'll never be any further study because it's a Schedule 1 drug and you'll never get funding for any study that doesn't repeat the mantra that a Schedule 1 drug is evil. Even if you have to feed your chimpanzees crystal meth instead of MDMA to get the result you want.

Came here to say the same thing. In case you're wondering, have it on good authority from a Prof. Humperdinck that you can readily identify iocaine powder by its smell.

I'm wondering how long it'll take before someone gets the "AI" hologram to announce that it's MechaHitler, or that Batman could beat that wuss Spiderman any day of the week.

But they'll get it anyway, because the US Patent-selling Office needs to make money somehow.

Ivermection and bleach injections. We'd have very few cases once we stop testing.

You walked right into that one...

I read Lost in Math based on (some of) her YT videos and found she's not nearly as entertaining in print as she is in person, or maybe just that she's refined he presentation since the book came out. The book seemed to get Lost in Itself after awhile. The videos aren't bad, but have the standard YT curse, she has to keep cranking out new ones on a regular schedule and at some point you more or less run out of things to poke a stick at.

I knew they existed but little more, but now after reading the writeup (and a few others) I can't understand why anyone would buy one of these things in the first place: They look like any other EV out there, they're from an unproven company, they're fecking expensive, and there's endless stories of them being riddled with problems. They don't quite have a big flashing sign over them saying "Stay away", but they're pretty close.

The AI-slop-vendors must have known it given that the default length of videos seems to be around the 5s mark, with charges increasing steeply once you go past that point.

Is that actually an Oracle disaster though or a Cerner-called-Oracle disaster? Oracle happen to own them, but they've been fucking up since long before Oracle bought them. In fact given their track record they should really be called Healthcare IT Fuckup, Inc.

For some reason performance clauses never get written into government contracts. Friend of mine's wife is a govt lawyer and she did that in a contract, the first time it had ever happened as far as she knew. It bankrupted the principal contractor.

So the US then? And quite a few other countries as well.

People still use Slashdot?

Duracell have been a crap el-cheapo brand for some years now, it's not for nothing that they're known as Durahell's.
