So someone can say they did something. A minor distraction.

So he should just put the dog in the shelter system and/or have it put down instead of trying to get into a home for both of them?

Bruce Willis is already headed that direction. Of course more stars will jump on. They'll want to do it while they're younger. They'll be able to license out the models. They'll be able to act with themselves as a younger co-star. Their estate will be able to profit forever. It'll get cheaper. There will be knock offs.

It's the future, yo.

Even when you can, you really need the human hand in there or it goes haywire bonkers.

A few posts back on my profile I have some samples where I asked a novel writing AI to write Watership Down as a few different authors. Little to no additional guidance. It's entertaining but it will be a long time before it's making anything worth publishing.

Yes yes resistance is futile. All your base are belong to AI, make your time. We'll all be swallowed by AI, let's all freak out about it all the time.

Let's see how it holds up in court when that unicorn bites someone.

Audio books still count.

When I first allowed myself to listen to audio books I did like 30 non fiction titles that year. I would have never done that in print with non fiction, and I certainly wouldn't have retained as much as I have.

The circus arrives without warning.

This dude out abducting people in flip flops.

You mean free street karaoke?

I can absolutely use it to generate answers to interview questions.

He we go, the only prompt I put was [this is a job interview] and the first question:

Interviewer: "what would you consider to be one of your strengths?"

Candidate: "my ability to make people laugh."

Interviewer: "well, we could use someone like that here at the office. But what about weaknesses?"

Candidate: "I don't take much pride in my work."

Interviewer: "you're right on target for this position! Would you like to see the rest of our floor plan?"

Candidate: "Sure!" walks into a wall

The moral of the story? Don't think so hard when answering questions, and always look where you're going.

Trial run.

I've never been a conspiracy theorist, can they stop making it seem like this is as obvious as a conspiracy as it seems like? I certainly believe they were "known" to the FBI. We don't have anyone doing shit about any crime anywhere in this area of Washington, and we're supposed to believe the FBI was keeping tabs on these apparent nobodies that just wanted to rob some rural stores?

I'm coming up with the crazy shit on my own now and it's seeming less and less crazy.

If this had happened just days before, we would have been so fucking vulnerable to ANYTHING anyone could have thrown at us, terror-wise. The whole region was encased in solid slick ice and no one could safely get anywhere, emergency services would have been almost useless. We're right next to JBLM and anyone not living on base is largely in these areas.

This all feels like a test of a planned procedure before full deployment/release. It's not the first. That this is the apparent testing ground makes me think the "real deal" is going to be somewhere far away, that isn't paying attention like our areas will be now.

If the FBI had just said they had no clue at all and they're just as baffled at this randomness as the rest of us it might be believable, but it seems like they've given it away that they are not at all baffled.

Where and when might this strategy have the most dire consequences?

Let me introduce you to r/shadowtherat

Running and fixing the AI. And then fixing the things that run and fix the other AI. And so on.

Meanwhile, learning to garden is a great idea.

Gird your sisters

It's like that every time lol always glad to be back.

Someday they're going to have to figure out dickbutt and soyjack.

Man i hate that fucking song.

Oh yeah that will make them seem less like terrorists.

Definitely recommend! It was very happy in the ground with pineapple mint growing under and up it.

Well it was a 3-4" pot in the spring, and it's a 6 foot tall bush now, so pretty well i suppose! It will probably die with a hard freeze, but the bottom is pretty woody. I can't complain, i harvested off it plenty while it grew and it's a monster.

My pineapple sage is almost 6 feet tall and covered in fluted red flowers. It's been very popular with the hummingbirds lately.

These fuckers don't deserve Halloween!
