No, you see this is a good thing because now you can bet that your house will be destroyed by climate disasters so when your house gets destroyed by a climate disaster you can make some money to rebuild your house /s

Honestly I’m fine with this. Robots should be handling mundane chores like putting away the dishes, and if the only people they’re harming by testing this are airbnb owners in a city with a housing shortage, I’m all for it

As I was reading I was wondering why they weren’t using the top line models, they used sonnet instead of opus, gpt mini, Gemini flash etc. They really buried the lead on this one, last sentence:

They recommend “formally verified safety architectures” as a solution. You’ll be shocked to learn that Emergence happens to offer just such a thing!

So this company set up the test so that the AI would fail so they could sell you on there guardrail software. Even then the article says sonnet did pretty well.

I can provide a better full-spectrum sexual experience than any machine.

The John Henry of oral. The question is do you want to go out the way he did?

You’ll only really see them on “new” sort, they rarely have enough up votes to get in to hot / top sorts

In that industry…

Software as a career is dying anyway and the welding union I’m going to apprentice won’t understand, much less care about any of this

industrial operations

True for the corn and soybeans that cover vast swaths of this country, but a lot of fruits and vegetables are still very labor intensive. That labor is usually done by underpaid immigrants, who are definitely not swole, but are definitely in better shape then any of us.

A national survey conducted for NBC News earlier this year polled 1,000 registered voters and found only 26% view AI positively and 46% view it negatively. AI scored worse than US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on the same poll, but better than the Democratic party and Iran.

Stay winning dems. Get ready to see them lose to AI-yatollah next election

I wouldn’t call canals or railroads fads though. Canals were the main route of inland transportation for a half century and railroads were for a century.

They were transformative infrastructure that laid the groundwork for later forms of infrastructure. Either AI isn’t that and this analogy falls apart or AI is that and we should be worried about whatever it’s laying the groundwork for.

This is me whenever I broil something. Oh you started putting away the dishes for 1 minute, enjoy your charcoal.

So AI data centers will be replaced by an even more polluting alternative? Don’t get me wrong, I love trains but they are more polluting then a mule drawn barge on a canal. And the pattern continues with trains being replaced by even more carbon intensive cars and planes.

Idk what the message is supposed to be here, should we enjoy the good times when we only have to deal with these milder data centers? Or should we stop them now so we don’t develop the next generation of data centers, ie. Sabotage the canals so we don’t get trains?

The robot was once again defeated by its arch nemesis STAIRS

The Pentagon can’t ban alcohol though because hegseth will start getting the shakes

I’m not as much of a gun proponent on individual ownership grounds but this clearly seems like the well regulated militia as a bulwark against tyranny that the founders were talking about.

It is the gps, took mine on a trip to peru and forgot the charger. Lasted the whole week starting at ~60% until the final day when we did a hike to machu pichu and I started tracking the activity, and it went from 10% to empty in an hour.

There’s also a shit ton of fan made stop motion Lego videos online that it was trained on.

cast in bronze and covered in gold leaf

Why use gold leaf instead of electroplating it? Isn’t gold leaf more liable to fall off when exposed to the elements?

Guess the hotel lobby is not strong enought to push back.

They’re up against the weapons lobby and the Israel lobby. It’s no contest, they aren’t even playing in the same league.

he’s far too young to declare retirement

He’ll be 50 which isn’t too far from Obama leaving office at 55, and he effectively retired afterwards.

Is there any place in the south with safe drinking water?
