Why not? There's like tons of schools in the ocean

"knife stabbings done with [new alloy] knives shows that [new alloy] is a major threat to society, spokesman says, and remind people to pretend that knife stabbings is a completely new thing that didn't exist before"

His next trick will be to define pi as 3

When I had to get up to speed on a new language, it was very helpful. It's also great to write low to medium complexity scripts in python, powershell, bash, and making ansible tasks. That said I've been programming for ~30 years, and could have done those things myself if I needed, but it would take some time (a lot of it being looking up documentation and writing boilerplate code).

It's also nice for writing C# unit tests.

However, the times I've been stuck on my main languages, it's been utterly useless.

Or machine learning. There's at least one ML based project that got a headache out of this yesterday.

Yep, this is good as in won't rail someone already developing or have developed something on Unity, but it has a lot of "and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddlesome kids!" energy to it.

Susan and Death talking:

"All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"

MY POINT EXACTLY.”

So telegram's delusional propaganda did something good for once?

I feel like AI would make something more coherent than that.

"I had the misfortune to come across a leaked video of your CEO having some really questionable sexual intercourse with a really sketchy character, and it was truly disgusting. I can not in good conscience support a company led by such a horrible individual"

If they want feedback, give them feedback.

You fucking imbecile. If women are locked in the bedroom how can they make dinner?? Moran

We live a few stone throws away from the biggest military base in this part of the country. I usually joke that we'll either be the first or the last to go if there's a war.

However, terrorists attacking that would be "putting your dick in a fire ants nest" level of stupid.

Yep. These days the alternatives are "yes" and "ask again later", with yes being the default. "No" is not an option any more.

Next logical step would be to sue producers of radios, speakers, headphones and so on, I assume. Their devices "perform" the music, after all.

And then they can sue hospitals for helping bringing new ears into the world.

since humans use their vision to drive that computer vision was more than enough

Surprised he didn't swap out the wheels with legs while he was at it

Your move, foolish mortal

I can imagine.. "are you sure you really need that face? Have you tried masks? Have you been in talks with the bear about alternative solutions? In any case, our resident doctor have decided that this doesn't constitute a health issue and we don't cover cosmetic surgery"

Whatever they can get you to pay money for

Yeah, they still work somewhat as in they raise the bar on how complex the bot needs to be.

Believe me, there's tons of spammers out there that have captcha cracking bots. They're just not as dumb as the basic skiddie that can barely make a http POST.

Captcha's were supposed to separate bots from humans. Now it separates simple bots from complex bots.

Oh, and as a bonus, a lot of places hire people to create accounts and post spam for pennies.
