In 18 months I can see us where the Star Wars universe portrayed droids. As in ‘Oh great, another talking tin can, just what the galaxy needs. Can someone turn this thing off?’

Never said it was an easy lift. There’s a long road between where we are and a functioning society. And currently most of Europe is in the lead.

We need legislation with teeth before they manage to get this in every house. It’s going to happen. Your phone, TV, doorbell, car, crosswalks and street signs are all going to be recording and tracking you eventually. Just recognize that’s going to happen no matter what, and get real oversight and rules into place now. If we wait until it’s all locked, the ruling party will never let it end.

Apparently they’re looking at tying together hundreds of stand alone generators from Caterpillar.

I’m just stating facts. China is a geopolitical rival that cannot be trusted by the EU. Less militarily dangerous than Russia, but economically dangerous in every way.

You seem very emotional about it though.

China is off doing naval drills with Russia in South Africa right now. They’re actively working against Europe in Ukraine. Not really a trustworthy partner for anything.

Sequels this year have been really bad though. Between Trump, Dragon age, and Vampire Masquerade, I’m not excited about any more.

This is the plausiblley deniable way for them to put it out in the media. They can check what right wing media reports it and how, then just call it a mistake. Meanwhile they normalize defending pedophiles.

It’s a devolving quest to repair their ratings.

Boilerplate code is where it rocks. The syntax for that API function you use once every 5 years and no way remember, it’s got you covered. It can knock out helper functions like a boss too. Nothing complex, that takes too long to fix, but the text filter and type conversion stuff is quicker than typing them out yourself.

Ahhh! High school flash backs, NOOOO

Even AI knows your dog is out of your league.

How about you first?

Would be the far more polite version of my response. Not violent, but a lot less diplomatic.

Something else, very similar motif. It’s a sci-fi pulp novel.

I think the story neuromancer had workers who would show up have their brain chip turn them into meat puppets for 8 hours then they would wake up not knowing what they had done to earn their checks. It was a cheap labor scheme for day workers or prostitutes. I still think that’s really the capitalist goal.

Pretty sure that’s the Boeing 777 and they discovered that after a crash off Brazil.

I use autopilot all the time on my boat. No way in hell I’d trust it in a car. They all occasionally get suicidal. Mine likes to lull you into a sense of false security, then take a sharp turn into a channel marker or cargo ship at the last second.

I said nothing about being disarmed, or losing.

Pretty sure I pull up with a semi full of fertilizer and I’d be their bestest friend.

I didn’t say armed resistance doesn’t work. I said your gun isn’t going to work.
