  1. Indeed, that was suspiciously generous of them to reveal their capabilities like that...

  2. The only way to deal with it is to completely change our lifestyles. There, I said it... and this is coming from a "small gov't fiscal conservative."

    (If this confuses or frustrates the "low information" types that happen to identify as "conservative," it should be noted that it also confuses and upsets those who call themselves liberal when they find that I'm both a thirty-year vegetarian and a vocal advocate of the 2nd Amendment.)

  3. consilience

    I just learned a new word that's actually interesting and useful; thanks.

    what it would be like if we treated foods the way we treat music?

    These days, we do: they're both shat out of someone's ass.

    One problem: they don't taste the same.

    So totally unlike music?

    Totally.

  8. Re: "Alphabet" on Waymo To Start First Driverless Car Service Next Month (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Are we all really going to start saying "Alphabet" with a straight face?

    The spectrum-disorder math wizzes at Google have absolutely no idea what you're going on about.

    Or - apparently this is confusing - there are no fucking artists in this equation.

  10. Re: Sure. If we say so, that is. on Can AIs Create True Art? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    if a sufficiently large percentage of a society says that something is art, it is art.

    A sufficienly large percentage of society thinks the word "height" has an extra "h" on the end.

    What does that even mean?

    Msmash doesn't even know. It sounded good, though.

    Best of all, none of your neighbors like you

    Tell that to our neighbors who're so desperate to come here; apparently they didn't get your memo.

    It's a lot easier for the simpletons to assume that, like theirs, Bezos' decisions are made irrationally and emotionally.

    If you even live near NYC, you're doing it wrong... but it's definitely a fantastic place to learn to drive.

  15. Not so soon - but eventually - this shit will lead to further insanity such as laws against saying hateful things to machines.

  16. Spot-on but should I prefer that censorship be in its "pure" form (i.e. full strength) or greatly weakened by "hypocritical" efforts to hide it??

  17. Are you a shill or a moron?? Serious question.

  18. It only starts with removing speech; speech will [eventually] remove you.

    Moral of the story: it may take a little time for long-term strategies to pay off. Stagnant (or nonexistent) industries obviously aren't going to spring to life overnight.

    No but the bear was "persistent," whatever the fuck msmash means by that.

    It's pretty clear that we're either dealing with an "EditorBot" or msmash doesn't grasp the language nearly well enough to perform this role.

  22. I imagine a text to a burner phone you think is secure would scare most of people.

    Well, of course... because the first thing that an opposing force does after identifying your phone is warn you that they've done so.

  23. ...we'll simply start using crushed rock instead

    Can't we just let them have Florida and Long Island?? We could even include the residents at no extra charge...

    So you've never a programming class.
