Well citing fiction should get a failing grade.

Yeah I’m sure the 67 vote restriction was for this very reason, so the VP couldn’t just elect himself.

I was hoping for him over Kamala. There were rumors that they we’re gonna nominate him instead.

Drunkenslug and nzbgeek are my gotos. Technically you can run your own as well but it’s a PITA honestly.

It might but I wouldn’t. Every weird problem in the future is gonna make you wonder if it’s because of that. Now what I would do is get another hard drive, install to it, and copy things over. But basically leave the original one alone. My 2¢

You’re absolutely right and if the repugs were smart they’d oppose this. Because this sets precedent that can be used by both sides so the dems could do the same thing. Well if there are ever more elections….

It’s like a dog whistle to their perceived moral superiority. I like it though because I know to avoid them.

Well… I guess you’re right … dang. 🤯

Don’t let AI generate recipes. Recipes are generally tried, tweaked a little, tried again, etc until it’s consistently reproducible, and well good. The AI recipes I’ve tried get proportions wrong, skips steps, has stuff cooked in the wrong order, etc. There is no trial and error or iterations.

Did these X admins not realize the fallout or was there some other intended purpose?

I can smell the outrage from here.

The judge “pleading for normalcy”…🤣

We all are buddy, we all are.

I’d pay to see that movie.

Human bodies are terrible electrical power sources…even if you harvested all their metabolic heat or chemical energy, you would get far less usable electricity than a comparable mass of conventional fuel or batteries. Much more efficient ways to turn biochemicals or biomass into energy exist.

And to use us as batteries we need food. I would venture to say at least 99% or more of human food production requires sunlight. So just use sunlight for energy. No sunlight because of horrible nuclear winter or something else blocking the sun? Create satellites to collect it and beam it down with microwave lasers.

Anytime you convert a form of energy to another you lose energy. So sunlight->food->human->electricity is not only inefficient but dumb. An AI would never do this. The Wachowskis were writers, not scientists or engineers, and it shows. What would we be good at? The human brain is exceptionally good at massively parallel, low‑power pattern processing: recognizing, predicting, and adapting in complex, noisy environments. This sounds like the exact sorta thing you’d need if you were creating a virtual world. The trick would be getting the interface right. Assuming they had enough time that could be accomplished. So the whole reason the rumor of us being used as processors instead of batteries, is because it makes WAY more sense.

What the hell am I looking at?

I’m an atheist but this requires an Amen!
