The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

Was watching Bourne movies again (as one does) and thought how quaint it was that the agencies were desperate to make sure word didn’t get out that they regularly assassinated American citizens without arrest or trial. Hahahaha, those were the days.

Who let Grampa go out of the country? He needs to be home napping in his gold recliner, not gallivanting off to Davos where he’s just gonna ramble nonsensically about Iceland and whatnot.

Two simple things will destroy the inevitability of “AI” and it’s:
- Having to pay for training data if it falls under copyright
- Making every company liable for anything the machine spits out just like a person would be
That doesn’t sound like a product we need to accept or else!

I think any technology that dies as soon as accountability and copyright are involved is far from inevitable. In fact, I’d argue that people who find use out of so-called “AI” technology have the burden of trying to salvage anything from the wreckage.

Someone has lifted the QuickTimeVR movie files from 1994's "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual", upscaled them then built an in-browser replica of the ITM's "Tour" module. mijofr.github.io/st-panorama/

it's crazy that 500 years ago, you would see the ruler of your country maybe once in your life and hear whispers that they're the Sun God, but now with social media, you get to see on a daily basis that they're the most unhinged, idiotic, and unhappy person you know
