So it wasn’t accurate when you said he “couldn’t” figure it out.

Sounds like it was a last resort if he “couldn’t figure out” whose machine it was.

I had a dishwasher throw a chef’s knife at my head once

It is however how the human distribution is. There’s no upper limit on intelligence but there is a lower one.

Dude your mom’s been outdated since at least 2017

The cereal has yet to arrive

While you studied the catch scratcher, I studied the blade.

I was able to get 4 or 5 usable cat scratchers out of one blade.

When AI gets applied to robot bodies, real world results will be able to trim out bad knowledge. Currently because AI only feeds on internet content, all the AI has to eat is human content and AI content.

AI will drift away from accuracy until it gets embodied at which point it will start to get more accurate.

Drag is where energy is lost. Drag is a function of speed.

Google maps has never tried to make me drive through a yard or field for example.

Did someone complain about that? I’m seeing tons of complains and none of them are this

Elites loves to treat working class time as a zero-value resource. It’s just assumed that everyone is willing to give up hours a week if it means using fewer plastic bags, or less gas, or taking a bus instead of a car, or charging their car during off peak hours, or whatever.

Time is treated as negligible in value.

Google Maps is headed by Ray Kurzweil, who refuses to see any downsides to AI.

AI being a great thing is a postulate for this guy.

For me it rotates the map randomly. It’s not a result of thinking that I’ve turned because my arrow marker stays oriented with the map. But it’ll just rotate the map to random angles at random times.

I don’t need any instructions at all at an intersection unless the instruction is to turn

It’s the Secret Service’s job to protect Presidential candidates

Biden appointed a candidate for President, when that process is supposed to happen via voting.

Do you know the word is for a situation where the people are voting on things? It starts with a D

More like the DNC is.

Running a candidate who hasn’t received any primary votes, and they call us a threat to democracy. They literally skipped the pesky voting phase.

The guy hiding in the bushes with a rifle waiting for Trump wasn’t an assassination attempt?

Does it bother you to speak in such opposition to what’s plainly true?

This is why I promote the distribution and carrying of pocket horns. We need to have more honking and flipping the bird during pedestrian interactions.

our most evil things happen when we create systems that allow us to remove the humanity from one another

This alienation is, incidentally, why conscientiousness is more reliable than empathy as a mechanism for ensuring people are good to one another.

Empathy doesn’t scale. It’s possible to have empathy for people that one knows closely, or sees often. But empathy for incidental strangers is harder, and empathy for those one only “sees” abstractly is even harder than that. Empathy isn’t built for extension to millions or billions of people.

Conscientiousness – for example treating people fairly because it’s the right thing to do, as opposed to treating them warmly because it feels good to do so – is actually scalable. You can make a commitment to treating everyone fairly, and then you don’t need to rely on feeling good about a person in order to do right by them.
