A path leads towards a shrine with tall trees to each side and in the distance. On the path many deer are standing or sitting.

Back in the 90s the best cross-fertilisation/ serendipity supposedly happened having a smoke in the car park. in the 80s it was over lunchtime pint in the pub. I am still waiting for the mandate…
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.
The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

Good to see an acronym die for a change. Was ‘visual’ really needed. I mean can you have an ‘audio’ display?
An appointment is an activity. A healthier life is a result.
If we want to move the needle on climate or health, we have to stop measuring what we spent and start measuring the difference we made.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...
![Stuart Russell, a professor of artificial intelligence at the University of California, Berkeley, who closely follows India’s progress, said: “If we get to AGI [artificial general intelligence], AI is going to be producing 80% of the global economy.

Imagine, he said, an Indian village priced out of having a health centre. In the future, AI could design the hospital and “along comes a bunch of giant quad copters carrying the materials, and a bunch of robots come and assemble everything. Two weeks later, you’ve got a hospital.”
I'm astonished this statement could be reported so uncritically.
Let's be real: *IF* AGI is ever developed, all its efforts will be spent making OpenAI profitable and sending Musk to Mars.

But they were all of them deceived, for Sauron, in his cunning, fashioned a crap-ton of rings in various sizes.
Conservatives don't actually value freedom. They are obsessed with controlling others' self expression, religion, reproduction, access to information.
What they mean when they say "freedom" is "lack of natural consequences for antisocial, self-serving actions." What "freedom" means to a toddler.
It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
