Between the comments here and the article itself, there are exactly three mentions of whatever tf it is you’re talking about… all from you.

That appears to be fundamentally false.

A CEO.

Lytvynchuk is charged with violations of both the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison for each charge, along with potential fines of up to $20,000.

This! I don’t care if it’s endangered. I don’t care if it’s marine. I don’t care if it’s wild. Throwing rocks at any animal is enough to get your ass beat. Full stop.

From OPs linked article…

In tests involving 197 participants, the researchers said the system identified individuals with nearly 100% accuracy. The recognition remained effective regardless of viewing angle or how the participants walked.

Also, I tried plugging the patch cable directly into my own wifi router and nothing.

The router would need to be explicitly configured to connect to your account on the network, which would require certain information provided by the ISP, which it sounds like they weren’t going to provide.

Same. This seems to be the correct link.

It’s time.

Yes, but also no. Plenty of people will buy and read these books and watch AI slop movies. Everyone can cook healthy meals at home, and many do, but there’s still a big market for fast food restaurants and prepackaged microwave meals.

Reminds me of a case many many years ago. A guy had been in prison for decades. Science finally caught up and DNA evidence proved he was innocent. The prosecutor for the case, who now happened to be the state Attorney General, doubled down, essentially saying “the case was already tried, he was found guilty, end of story.” Even once the public got wind of it and there was a huge outcry, it still took forever for the AG to budge. Downright fucking evil.

Relevant Tangent:

When you try to link two financial accounts (in the US) for the purpose of transferring money from one to the other, and the originating financial institution offers, or in many cases now outright insists you use Plaid (a third party company) to make the connection…

YSK you’re giving Plaid permanent access to all of your financial records on the target account. They can immediately download your entire history and go back whenever they want to get an update.

Sometimes they obfuscate that they’re even using Plaid, so here’s how to tell.

If they “inconveniently” ask for routing and account numbers, and tell you that they’re going to make two small deposits into the target account and that you need to watch for those deposits in the next few days and then come back and enter how much those deposits were to verify that it’s your account, then that is NOT Plaid. This is the version you want!

If, however, they “conviently” jump to a window for you to log into the target account to instantly make the connection, THAT’S Plaid. Once you enter your login info, you’ve just given Plaid permission to paw through your account history and come back to rummage for more whenever they’d like.

These plants are the primary architects of “blue carbon” sinks, coastal ecosystems that can sequester carbon at rates up to three times higher than terrestrial forests.

I don’t think plants of any type should be called carbon sinks. It gives people the false idea that trees are some kind of solution to carbon released by burning fossil fuels. That carbon is just going to go back into the atmosphere when the tree dies and decays.

If it’s not shoving the carbon back underground for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s, at best, a carbon bucket on a wobbly table.

it’s not entirely there but damn impressive

Maybe, if you believe they’re actually autonomous and not just being secretly driven remotely.

“If a human spokesperson made these false allegations on Google’s behalf, a significant award of punitive damages would be warranted. Google should not have lesser liability because the defamatory statements were published by software that Google created and controls.”

as a dispute escalates between the project and one of its most prominent backers.

Something something leopards face

You misspelled gajillion.

And they’re going to run her again.

They are very concerned about that data,” he said. “They need to be convinced that the data is protected

The only way you protect the data from a future wannabe authoritarian dictator is for the data to not exist in the first place.
