bamboozled··on Please don't rearrange our shoes when we turn up, paramedics in Japan urge
I guess Japanese could say the same thing in reverse ?

Maybe AI isn't that incredible, the more you use it, the more you realize it's a tool, like a VCR, maybe that's why?

What was sold as AI was basically a "computer person". Maybe that isn't the reality so when people are like, "here's the self coding machine" everyone is a bit disappointed because it's not C3PO?

bamboozled··on Nvidia's Jensen Huang says 'AGI has arrived' and congratulates OpenAI
Seems like the sort of thing we shouldn't be rushing to develop at all

Buddy, silicon valley is going to ram this down your throat so hard it might even come out your bottom, there is absolutely zero chance anyone is going to be slowing down developing anything if there is a chance it can make more money.

bamboozled··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
I forgot to add, Russia is good, Ukraine is bad

Money money money, must be funny, in a rich mans world...

They asked for a specific example, you've still not provided one, please provide the example.
bamboozled··on Political meddling at the Census Bureau damages the US statistical system
It does feel a bit like people have so much money they could basically drive us into extinction (or close too it) by constantly supporting and funding psychopathic lunatics like Trump, helping them stay in power and watching them do nothing to hurt their business, therefore do nothing to stop anthropomorphic climate change.
bamboozled··on Doomscrolling ourselves to death
For my the tell tale sign is being obsessed with conspiracies, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson, constantly talking about Jews, freeing Palestine and being antivax. I can almost guarantee someone is influenced by the twitter algorithm from that alone.

Absolutely insane how the USA is speed running into Russia.

I was discussing BBQ with some friends the other day and living in Asia there are certain cuts that you basically have to get imported if you want to do it right. Basically every single person in that group, including Americans have decided they wouldn't trust or buy meat produce from the USA anymore as they don't trust it anymore...

bamboozled··on Anthropic & friends caught paying religious NGO's 3.3M for propaganda
Did you get this from the latest Tim Dillon podcast?

If not it’s funny at least several people are seeing the same pattern emerge.

I have to say u wasn’t a fan on this guy before when he was a Trump shill but lately he’s had some accurate and funny takes.

bamboozled··on You Don't Have a Right to Safe Drinking Water, US Court Rules
I just feel that people are too comfortable for that now, we have so many distractions from "tech" itself that I cannot imagine people actually revolting.
bamboozled··on You Don't Have a Right to Safe Drinking Water, US Court Rules
If the ground water is contaminated with industrial waste ?
bamboozled··on You Don't Have a Right to Safe Drinking Water, US Court Rules
Can’t really see how it can be reigned in and once it’s done with America it’s coming for everyone else. Australia with one nation and UK with reform for example.

My honest assessment is the tech bros felt threatened from potential regulation and decided to do use their platforms and influence to encourage more of the same destruction everywhere else. I cannot explain it any other way. Why would nearly all of them have backed the orange boy ?

bamboozled··on You Don't Have a Right to Safe Drinking Water, US Court Rules
The shitty thing for all humans is that many governments and voters l just do what America does because…murica, you can see every democracy teetering on the edge of the same idiocracy.
bamboozled··on A mysterious kidney disease has arrived in Texas
I wonder if this is what regulations were for?
bamboozled··on Go grandmaster Shin defeats AI KataGo with a two-stone handicap
Neo...
bamboozled··on The largest electric aircraft just flew [video]
Better battery tech ?
bamboozled··on Foreign business owners leave Japan in droves under tighter visa rules
This is going to be really hard to repair for Japan...
bamboozled··on Uber is laying off 10% of staff
Then he could just say uber has grown a lot?
bamboozled··on Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America
Probably saving it for an ocean.
bamboozled··on Google Maps Renames Lake Ontario to Lake America
In Australia, we call it bullshit.
bamboozled··on Flock Safety's controversial CEO just got a taste of his own medicine
What is interesting about it ?
bamboozled··on Europe's summer drought is so extreme that desertification is a growing threat
Forests
bamboozled··on I co-founded Burning Man. The festival has lost its soul
It’s funny the way having money and participating in something “the easy way” removes the coolness / authenticity from the experience.
bamboozled··on Judge rules Trump administration’s blacklisting of Anthropic was illegal
What system successfully combats this though?

The only hope I think we have is education, good education so children have a brain and know when people are lying. For me it's not the lies that are the problem in politics, it's the massive number of people that believe the lies.

bamboozled··on The turbulent AI era is here
I don't think I've ever seen an article stay on the front page as long as this one.
bamboozled··on Climate change is strengthening El Niño, coral records suggest
Sometimes I feel the same, and then sometimes I wonder if that "moving away feeling" is the last of the old breed who are hanging onto power, maybe the next step after this massive wave of ultra right wing stupidity is something much brighter ?
bamboozled··on Judge rules Trump administration’s blacklisting of Anthropic was illegal
So what if it’s illegal, what can be done about it, the corruption is so extreme there will be no recourse.

I hope I’m wrong…

bamboozled··on The mechanics of the Nepali flash flood
What scares me about climate change is how frequent these “little figures” are getting wrecked.

In Japan we have had these sudden flood events this year, people just die as their cars are washed away.

Never in my life have I considered checking the weather forecast and flood watch warnings almost every time I get in the car but I do this year.

We have really fucked the climate and this is just the beginning.

bamboozled··on The mechanics of the Nepali flash flood
Yes, but apparently they monitor the glaciers stability / Temperature closely and evacuate required
