Anytime they do targets like this you always have to get like 98% or higher.

Back when I used to work for Apple customer support they used to send out these email questionnaires after the call. You were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 but basically anything other than 8 was bad, and of course everyone always writes 7 or 8 because you'd prefer not to have to call a service desk at all.

Fortunately they only cared about your average score not the total number of response. So if you got someone nice and they gave you a 9 or 10 you could basically just not send any more emails out for the rest of the month, and get your bonus. It was a stupid system.

The last time I was in burger king was when I was still at university so I've not been in one since 2015. I was never impressed with them even back then, it was just really close to my dorm and I'm not cooking my own food.

This will be a US only thing. Because as you said everywhere else has laws.

My company is doing something similar with AI (although not quite this this awful) and I can tell you from various meetings that I've been in that management really doesn't have a clue how AI works. I think it's just a magic box.

The current genius plan is to run all of this locally on a big server farm, I don't think they have yet realised how expensive it's going to be due to price spikes, ironically because of AI. I highly doubt that it will ever actually come to fruition, or will get some incredibly watered down thing that barely operates but management obsess over for 6 months, until they inevitably stop caring.

I would place good money on a bet that says that 2 years from now they will not be using this.

Oh yeah I'd forgotten he was in independent day. That's not a slight against him, I've just not seen it in ages.

The only reason I didn't include things like I robot as sci-fi is it's only surface level sci-fi. You could easily have made it be about Orcs and demons and it would have fitted.

I was trying to think if he had been in any hard sci-fi and the only thing I can think of is that film with his kid in it. No idea what it was called.

War thunder needs to add UFOs, so we all finally get to find out what's going on at area 51

As if it has a setting. You can't turn that feature off.

This is going to be a new sabre rattling technique in the future.

If you don't back down we're going to turn our entire military over to AI and it might do anything.

This is either going to turn out to be nothing or an utter catastrophe and there's no option in between. I suspect most generals in the military are bright enough to not give it control over anything too dangerous though.

Who is making these decisions and what is their come to blood ratio, because I'm reckoning it's fairly high.

Why would it invalidate the licence? They were utterly fine with it up until now so what's changed?

So you can appeal this, but it does not have any effect on anything, so you in fact cannot appeal this.

You all should move to Russia for better quality of life.

You get that we wanted dialogue right? We can all imagine Will Smith in a leather jacket with slow motion bullets moving around him.

Every time someone who is pro AI tries to advocate for it it always comes off as their brain having turned to porridge. You get we can see that image in our minds, we don't need it visualised for us at the expense of half an olympic swimming pool worth of water and at least six trees.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
