Re: Mixed feelings today

There is a difference between optimistic view of future performance and outright lying. Especially when the FDA are involved

Assuming the original plan was legitimate, and they were "faking it till you make it", then at some point it became obvious that the tech would never work and it turned into a scam.

This isn't that unusual, the iPhone that Jobs first demonstrated only worked on stage because they had setup a private cell network just for that device.

A lot of pre-release game consoles demo'ed at CES with the game actually running on a bunch of servers behind the curtain.

MP's bank details are all freely available, along with their 'advisor' rates, on their business cards

Re: Long Term Solution

How could the NHS offer cutting edge surgery without PowerPoint?

Re: With two-faced "friends" like Dyson, Britain doesn't need enemies

You're allowed to write to your MP about a planning application and the head of a property developer that just donated a million quid to the party is allowed to chat to an MP (and home secretary) while they're having a free holiday on their yacht = that's democracy

Re: Pulling up the ladder

Computers are becoming too powerful and we need regulation to stop anyone else making them = IBM chief in 1960

Work - the curse of the drinking classes

Re: Look North !!

>Question, when you evaporate water for cooling does it not become water later? Another words, it rains down wind from the dc or at least seeds the clouds?

But that's in a different zoning district so doesn't count.

Re: depressing advice is simply 'never trust your eyes or ears ever again.'

Engagement.

Imagine el'reg but instead of handful of drunken scribes scrawling a couple of stories a day (sorry ed) you have an AI writing unlimited purple prose directly targeted at your specific interests and opinions?

Obviously that would be shite - but imagine the same thing for people on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram

If you want VR / Metaverse to take off (for some reason) you can't have an 80s videogame level of polygon graphics, you need beautiful, unique, realistic, scene design - but for free.

Re: Phew!

How about “times are tough, and unfortunately we have to reduce staff to get the business right. Sorry folks, and good luck.”

The advantage of doing it their way is that anybody experienced and valuable, and therefore well paid and expensive to make redundant, sees the writing on the wall and quits. So not only does the next 14% fire themselves, they do it for cheap.

You'd be happier if it updated itself to whatever the latest fashion was?

How do I cancel the fire alarm?

It used to be finger pinch the hamburger menu for 3seconds, now you swipe anticlockwise on the middle third of the screen

Re: Nationalise The Drugs

But will the revenue from drug sales make up for the lost GDP from replacing stolen goods and repairing the damage from robberies?

Could be worse, they have Missals

Re: Not only mice

We see you playing a major structural role in this project - hold up this shelf

Re: I will believe it when...

You forget it's binary.

Every time they fsckup the "don't deal with these idiots again" bit is flipped, and the next time they fsckup the bit is cleared.

>If NVIDIA never gave any stock awards to the average worker, only to the executives, it would not be discrimination in the sense of illegal act

So that's why the US seems so animated about access to bathrooms !

Give the keys to the executive washroom to the masses,

Re: Risk /safety is subjective

> I'm at a loss to understand why the EU is kicking this around

There is no such thing as the Eu, just politicians / civil servants working in their own interests(so unlike our own dear government)

So elected officials can go to their voters (both of them) and say "I'm working to protect you from the evil AI"

The civil servants can work on cool new AI stuff rather than the 32nd draft of the "Nuts (unground), (other than ground nuts) Order"

Re: So many problems with that idea

>The only positive outcome of removing liability for third party speech would be cesspools like Facebook and TikTok going bankrupt overnight.

No it will mean only Facebook and TikTok will survive.

They have the engineering resource to have an AI ban any posts from S****horpe and the lawyers to file form 4096B to prove they have a process.

It will ban places like el'reg and your local football club fan forum.

Every little school and hobby forum site will have to move to Facebook or risk the moderators losing their house.

Remember who support prohibition - baptists AND bootleggers

Re: It's not for everyone...

As the ghost of a medieval court jester currently working for a small rental outfit I object to all these stories about computers

>the democratic vote to leave the European Union has nothing to do with how nice the Royals looked on Saturday.

Any chance of King Charles getting Aquitaine back ?
