Or rather - scanning assets in phantasy worlds and using the results for bot development. A bot, looking at the screen and using a Bluetooth keyboard for commands would be much less detectable.

That makes sense to me, but - neither H1 nor H2 is Earth, they are Hamiltonian spaces. And the statement that puzzles me is: “the Earth can be treated as a topological insulator”. So… I remain puzzled ((

My son worked at Chipotle. The biggest problem with their system was inability to set a time-to-ready for online orders. Delivery time was set fixed to say half an hour, no feedback from the location. So in rush times there were a lot of un

Our government starting giving away money long before Covid lockdowns. What is inflation? It’s prices going up. Or quality of service going down while priced the same. What is “supply chain disruption”, now? It is: you should pay more for

Can I ask a question that really interests me: why do y’all care?

Supply chain disruption and opportunistic price gouging are actually SIGNS of inflation, not causes of it. In a socialist country I grew up in the opportunistic price gouging was illegal, so supply chain was ALWAYS disrupted… So, in your li

Labeling a product correctly as like 0.35 is not the same as halting its development. (And there are a lot more libel cases by the link I’ve provided. You know, this “AI” just generates them each time someone asks).

I think _humans_ are a threat - to themselves and to everybody else. Currently some of them are promoting unfinished tools, labeling them like 3.5 and 4 (instead of 0.35 and 0.4 how somewhat useful but containing unpredictable dangerous err
