The question isn’t whether AI has any uses, the question is whether those uses can possibly justify releasing this fucking shit β€œinnovation” on humanity without any guardrails. And the answer to that question is NO.

Large insect/beetle(?) over 1 inch in length lying next to a post-1997 50p coin. Bottom legs slightly unfurled and sticking out from under body/shell. Apologies for the awful pics.

Entomologists/insect lovers #bugsky - what (on earth) is this? Found it under my wipers on my car (just outside Liverpool). 50p coin diameter is 27.3mm. By far the largest insect I've seen in the UK (but that's not saying much). It could carry a UK ladybird in its pocket (if it had pockets that is).

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

It'd be a shame if Scotland welcomed Trump like last time.

My dad had a white VP briefly and took me out in it briefly. Couldn't get over how quiet and comfortable it was. Massive difference between this and a normal boggo Aggro with an A-series.

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Tech Promised Everything. Did it deliver? | Scott Hanselman | TEDxPortland

I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

How long before we have reports of cold/ice burns on sensitive areas?

Yes, I have to enable the BBC website (if I recall correctly) for instance, (and maybe TED?), but it's more for getting YouTube to calm down when I've got multiple tabs open

In what way are we doing this to ourselves? The tech industry has decided that this is what we should have for their benefit.

It turns out it was over watering and compost that was saturated. Potted this and another in a grittier mix and they've been fine since. Also, they don't like fresh tap water that hasn't off gassed for a bit. Blighters

Maybe you'll get to point where you don't care any more? I'm trying to remember when stopped being bothered. No point being dressed up/turned out if we're going to get filthy tending the garden.
