> The Office of Technology and Innovation spent nearly $600,000 to build out the foundations of the MyCity chatbot, which will be used for future chatbot offerings on MyCity. [0]
This was experimental tech... while I admire cities attempting to implement AI, it seems they did not spend enough tax dollars on it!
My name is hashberry, and I am a porn addict. Do not follow my path into the erotic abyss, especially with a chemsex stack of stimulants + cannabis + alcohol.
I recently discovered Stable Diffusion. I've always loved photos of beautiful women, but now porn is 100% customizable. Every fantasy can now have a realistic lifelike visual, even of people you know.
This article subheading reads: "Reformers fear that ever more outré sites are warping users’ desires. But transgression has always been part of the appeal."
Ah, yes, "transgression." In this erotic hell, you'll find your mothers, your daughters, you sisters. You'll find "futa" transsexuals, bukkake cumshots, and rape-like scenes. This nonstop pornography has no limit because degeneracy has no limit.
Same. I'm convinced OBEs are a form of dreaming, especially when comparing the techniques used for initiating wake-back-to-bed lucid dreaming (relaxing the body & mind, feeling vibrations, being amazed how "real" it is, etc).
I like your taxonomy. But just to clarify: is the cruise control on my car "artificial intelligence?" Because a lot of dumb 15-year-old teenagers don't know they have to increase power while going up a hill, while my cruise control algorithm does.
> he opened a computer program called PioSOLVER, one of a handful of artificial-intelligence-based tools
So I checked out this tool, and the team describes themselves as "programmers interested in algorithms"[0] ... what is the difference between A.I. and algorithms?
Yeah, the guilty feeling sucks, I also had a devops job where I worked 2-3 hours a day. I finally found a more demanding job that required 4-6 hours of work per day. Being remote also helped instead of trying to keep up appearances in the office.
> Quantum Thinking, which is holding multiple contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. By oscillating between radical extremes, you put ideas at war with each other in the name of truth. By doing so, you stretch each idea to its logical conclusion.
Isn't this the 19th century Hegelian dialectic, not a quantum-whatchamacallit?
I am college-educated and live in a diverse urban city, yet when I saw Gebru's Medium photo I did not realize she was a Black woman. If a human has trouble with facial recognition, then A.I. definitely needs a lot more help and guidance.
I found it useful to match dev OS with prod OS... for example, if prod is running Debian-based distro, write code in Debian-based distro. Also encountered a lot of horror stories upgrading macOS to Catalina... that is lost productivity.
As someone who experimented with numerous drugs in college, I always remember being buzzed or drunk when the second drug was introduced. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and puts one in a "party" mode. It's also everywhere, making it easy to consume more than one drink. Plus it's fun to "stack" with other drugs like stimulants, making intoxication more dangerous. Alcohol is THE gateway drug.
And social media (including LinkedIn). There are many tech firms who hire marketers to write tech content for other marketers and potential clients as an advertising and brand-building strategy.
> Easier to conceive of Mark Zuckerberg as a machine.
The memes of Zuckerberg as Data from Star Trek always amuse me.[0] Sure, it's teasing, but Data is a likable character! Data doesn't strive to be superior but to be more human, even if this means being analytical instead of emotional.
Mark Zuckerberg would be far more interesting if he were "evil"--if he tried to create new values, if he tried to replace God. But he isn't even an atheist anymore and is embracing religion and Judaism[1].
And then of course we must separate the man from the corporation: Facebook is a public company has an obligation to its shareholders to make money. Facebook stopped being about Zuckerberg a long time ago... it is now about surveillance capitalism.
I have a personal gmail and a work gmail (G Suite), each using my full name, but both run in separate browsers using the same IP address. I always wonder if Google keeps a "master record" of people and all their associations, if not for security or to work with law enforcement.
The market has been overvalued and manipulated for years. Even Apple took out billions in loans for stock buybacks.[0] Boeing took out $43 billion in loans for stock buybacks[1] instead of investing in planes, QA and employees. Everyone knew this was a stock bubble caused by record low interest rates. COVID-19 is the pin that woke everyone up.
It's just about blogging and knowledge sharing tools. It's difficult to read for some because of its "postmodern" style, which is infamous for unorganized filler and amusing word salad. I cracked up about "extended universes escaped reality construction" and tools that "collapses high and low-level thinking into a single behavior."
