I mean, we call the software that runs computer players in games AI, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

License plate readers? Facial recognition? Speech recognition?

Europeans caused massive death in the Americas. I do not think we should replicate that model.
Also, the chance is small, but there might have been a separate biogenesis (beginning of life) on Mars. Sending humans with our dirty microbiome would almost certainly wipe any evidence of that, and possibly cause an extinction of an entirely separate form of life, which would be a crime even more horrible than the extinctions and genocides which we have caused so far.
Let’s just leave Mars alone until we’ve studies it more and are certain there is no life. Colonizing the moon seems challenging enough for a couple centuries…

It had too little memory, but was clearly a step towards phone perfection. I am still bitter that Nokia hired a Microsoft loyalist who killed the Linux line … shortly before killing the whole company.

Is it illegal for young people to get hot tubs where you are at? 🤔
- Comment on DEI, more like DIED 4 weeks ago:
A simple DEI policy would be, for example, to remove the name from a resume before passing it over to the hiring manager for initial selection. That reduces bias against ethnic groups, religions, or genders.

- Comment on As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act 2 months ago:
I don’t think this is true, although maybe in some places.
For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟
- Comment on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine 2 months ago:
That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.
The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.
I mean… the inability to know what it knows or not is a real problem for most use cases…
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 2 months ago:
Planes are the safest form of transportation if you look at safety per km travelled. If you look at other metrics, like safety per trip or per travel time then they are less safe than busses or trains.
