It's like that old joke about traditional herbal remedies.

You know what they called traditional herbal remedies that actually work?

Medicine.

I still like the fact that he released so many documents that when the newspaper tried to open the file it broke Excel, so he had to come in and fix it.

I sort of feel like if you are in a situation where you're prepared to kill other people just so you get a bit of cash you will probably not right in the head to begin with.

It's Elon, of course this bothers him. There are peaches with thicker skin than him

As with most things to do with government the idea isn't necessarily the problem, it's the fact that their mandating something that isn't really realistic, simply because they don't understand how technology works.

The issue is if they are banning people under a certain age from using social media then how do the companies know whether you can access the content or not? So now they ask everyone for ID. And you just know that the contract for verification has gone to the lowest bidder, who will put zero effort into security and they'll absolutely most certainly will be a data breach.

Hopefully that gets scrapped. If Burnham wants to truly show that he's a different kind of politician that would be a good way to demonstrate it very quickly. Not that I have a great deal of hope.

It's not the people don't like AI it's just that it's not very good (pretty sure we're supposed to have super intelligent AGI by now according to the original timelines), it shoved into everything, it's an environmental disaster on steroids, living within 10 miles of data centre is a horrible experience, and it's made buying a new computer financially impossible. Take your pic of reasons.

Plus I'm fed up of listening to scientifically illiterate tech bros talking about data centres in space. Might as well build a Dyson swarm while they're at it, it would probably be easier.

I like the Bobbyverse explanation of AI, these are AMIs, Artificial Machine Intelligences, capable enough within the confines of their task but absolutely not self-aware, and not suitable for any high risk situations. The tools with some limited thinking capabilities, that's it.

When the characters want to build an actual AI they need outside help in order to create it. As humans just aren't their technologically yet.

That's where we are right now we have the AMIs or at least a starting to get them, but We're nowhere close to a true AGI.

No I 100% agree with you. I think unlike previous prime ministers he was a good person and wanted to fix things. But he let himself be led astray by the right of the party, and trying to appeal to reform voters.

I was extremely disappointed when he started going on about small boats, letting the right set the narrative. After that it was just a bunch of misfires and miscommunications, like the whole thing to do with farmers now paying some inheritance tax, that was communicated very poorly and when the right decided to try and make a thing of it Starman never provided any pushback, that was a show of great weakness and should not have happened.

His time in office was exemplified by piss poor public relations, and various policies that didn't seem like they've been thoroughly thought out.

Do people actually browse steam via web browser? I just use the actual steam storefront app since I'm going to be in it anyway when I play the game.

Well he is an economist. It's a narrative imperative that he have no sense of humour.

There is this utterly insane belief that a lot of right-wing voters have, that all the right-wing governments would unite together in some kind of global cabal.

Nah, if every country had a right-wing government it would lead to World War 3 within about 2 days.

It reminds me the time that I was six and my mother told me not to touch the baking tray because it was hot, and then tapped it to indicate.

It's not about privacy it's about the government getting involved in private citizens business and using the justification of "think of the children" as an excuse.

The reason for this is a little bit of radiation damages your DNA causing the cells to go haywire, whereas a lot of radiation kills the cells outright.

So if you get cancer, you blast the cancer cells with radiation to wipe them out. The radiation is targeted so you don't wipe out healthy cells.

Now we just need the solution and we're good to go.

Yes that would be the best way to implement it. But that requires effort on the part of the government and they ain't going to do that so instead they're just going to give the contract over to some company that totally 100% definitely deletes the photos after verifying. We've heard that before.

He said wayyyy more stupid things, why is this the straw that broke the camel's back?

My brother-in-law did this and has become a locksmith. He has a great future ahead of him creating YouTube drama with lock companies.

That's why you need the A-Team. They are as far from Z as possible and therefore essentially invisible to the AI.
