As long as they follow OPs premise. There’s been lame US remakes of good movies where they could have just watched the original with subtitles. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, for example.

Yes! Then Battlefield Earth!

Yeah, whatever happened with that stuff again? Did we just move on?

It’s a good thing to have statistics and understand the mechanisms that cause addiction. Better late then never.

I thought he ordered them to stop polling presidential approval?

Thus, most of the eco-harmful data center usage is for providing answers that are ignored.

First is a crime against the common folk. Second is a crime against other rich people. There’s a difference!

IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.

“Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?”

“Nah, I have ethics.”

“They will be more expensive next year though”

Runs to the dealership

I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone…

Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it’s a useful tool for some things, and that’s it. Just like my fridge doesn’t need to have wifi.

I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

And still it forms the central cogs in the corporate machine.

I’m good.

Why? They want their millitary officers to stay racist, so it’s easier for them to adopt a “us and them” mindset?

Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓

I suggest people should just stop doing that.

An operating system should only be infrastructure to keep programs running. If I want an AI program, I’ll seek it out and get it myself.
