No matter what any AI bros promise, they DID NOT -and CAN NOT- solve for GIGO.
They don't care if they're pumping sewage into everyone's pipes, filtered barely enough to appear clean, as long as the money keeps flowing.
Generations trained to trust the computer will keep drinking the shit water.
OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit
Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here
Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse
Media and universities: AI is here to stay
Well this seems ever more relevant
Five?
I know it's important for me to keep tabs on my blood pressure but keeping tabs on my blood pressure freaks me out and is bad for my blood pressure.

And the black dog runs through a wall
In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president
From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.
One of the very best from Clickhole
Have you considered not using the code estimation machine and doing engineering with your actual brains?
Isn’t it weird how “AI literacy” being pushed on students isn’t about learning how it works, the cost of how it works, learning to spot disinformation, media and tech literacy. But instead is just “employers will like it if you get it to write your emails :)”

Just epic cape skills!
I wonder if there was some assistance given to the cape? It's such a perfect landing.
Nope, have to say that as much as I love them my kids drive me up the wall quite often and friends with kids say similar of theirs. Parenting is *hard*. I don't want to say your mum's deliberately misleading you but I think there might well be a lot of selective memory going on in her statement!
But hey ho, let's just treat all of our customers like we think they're both idiots and thieves, introduce a pointless choke point after the checkouts and generally make the experience of shopping here even shitter for no gain.
I mean it's absurd (and demeaning) security theatre. Because there's no guarantee that your receipt covers everything you're walking out with.
Blindingly obviously.
I can't help but feel the only reasonable response to the demand "scan your receipt to exit" on those cattle gates at Sainsbury's is "absolutely the fuck not".
You writers using AI are really missing a trick. I pay someone else to lift my weights for me at the gym. They're still being lifted, so I'm going to be super hench in no time.
This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18
Chronicles of Prydain! YES!
I don't understand why those books aren't more widely known and celebrated.
National Raise the Colours founder Ryan Bridge was arrested last night on Abingdon Road for public order offences. Bridge himself had called the police when an Oxford resident lay under his cherry-picker van. Mobile phone footage from local residents shows Bridge shouting “I’ve been arrested!”.
I'm not surrendering on this one.
We shall fight them by the brioche.
We shall fight them by the coffee grounds.
We shall fight them by the little tables and in the seats.
"The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate any thing. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It [cannot] anticipat[e] any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with."

(in the unlikely event anyone wants said transcription then I can dig it out...)
Out of curiosity, have you heard the Scary Pockets cover of that? It's great.
First bass part I ever fully transcribed for myself, too.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.
And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.
