I would assume they were placed on a bedside table pointed in the general direction of the fucking.

But still.

Depends. If the chief murdered the guy, then that’s the restaurant’s responsibility for not keeping the chef secured.

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.

Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.

We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.

This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.

This is the worst headline I’ve read all day.

I don’t think he has any beef with firemen, but if your job is to deliberately expose yourself to an incredibly dangerous situation on the regular, death is kind of an expected outcome.

I agree, as far as that goes, but I still feel sorry for them.

I’m on board.

If I could get a slide-out keyboard, like I had on my sidekick, or even a T9, I’d ditch autocorrect in a heartbeat.

No, just autocorrect deciding it knows better than me.

I’m a huge fan of her work. The world needs more hot athletic women with swords.

If necessary, “hot” can be dispensed with. “Athletic” too, as required.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the worst is these: Vader was right again.

No, that’s the 35th rule.

Rule 34 applies.

No, not that one. Rule of acquisition #34.
