I think, “I don’t” would be a better title than, “Yes”.

Few of our species can reliably spot natural intelligence.

I read a quote somewhere to the effect, “The successful politician knows the exact time to step in front of the parade and pretend they’re leading it.”

Most U.S. Exhibition Execs Think Traditional Moviegoing Has Less Than 20 Years as ‘Viable Business Model,’ According to New Survey

Well, as long as 0 is less than 20 I agree with them.

Isn’t it a confession that he wittingly employs undocumented migrants and isn’t it illegal?

They stopped even trying to maintain that lie decades ago. 20 years ago the paper had an article with a local farmer vocally declaring “We can’t afford to hire legal migrant labor. Too much regulation. They make us provide toilets and pay minimum wage.”

I wasn’t surprised that farmers exploited migrants. I was surprised that it was so common that the farmer felt safe having his name and picture next to a quote in a regional newspaper declaring, “Of course I break federal laws.”

Citizens United is widely seen as the last wall preventing the rich from buying control of the country.

They’re saying “free” email services. What they mean are disposable e-mail services. You go to a website, they provide you with a random e-mail address. You enter that address into the form, check for the verification code on the disposable e-mail site and you’re done with the disposable e-mail. You never visit the disposable site again. Do a search for “disposable email”.

The wild thing is, turning off autopilot and using lane keep and cruise is fine.

Mine isn’t. I don’t have or use “self driving”. I have used cruise control (what Tesla refers to as “autopilot”) but it is risky. My Tesla’s cruise control has slammed on the brakes on interstates at 65 MPH multiple times. I’ve stopped using it because it is so dangerous. If there had been a large truck behind me any of those times it would have been ugly.

All the checks and balances that are supposed to safeguard against this are non-functional, by choice.

Follow the money.

That drum table swapped that problem for another: having to get down on your hands and knees to do anything with the electronics.

I will never forgive Carley Fiorino for killing HP.

Eventually they’ll start demanding you run their crypto-miners in order to watch a video.

“AI” is a blanket term that has recently been used to cover everything from LLMs to machine learning to RPA (robotic process automation).

Yup. That was very intentionally done by marketing wanks in order to muddy the water. Look! This computer program , er we mean “AI” can convert speech to text. Now, let us install it into your bank account."

Sure. And AI that identifies objects in pictures and converts pictures of text into text. There’s lots of good and amazing applications about AI. But that’s not what we’re complaining about.

We’re complaining about all the people who are asking, “Is AI ready to tell me what to do so I don’t have to think?” and “Can I replace everyone that works for me with AI so I don’t have to think?” and “Can I replace my interaction with my employees with AI so I can still get paid for not doing the one thing I was hired to do?”

Agreed. Unfortunately, one half of our population thinks that anyone in power is a genius, is always right and shouldn’t have to pay taxes or follow laws.

Man, if only someone could have predicted that this AI craze was just another load of marketing BS.

This experience has taught me more about CEO competence than anything else.

Modify the chatbot to post to Truth Social and that’s an immediate upgrade from CEO to President!

[This doesn’t need an /s, does it?]

Try watching Winter on Fire on Netflix. It documents Ukraine overthrowing their dictator. It wasn’t a clean process. But hopefully the ending will be the same, with our dictator also fleeing back to Russia.

You means the person(s) funding all of this?
