BBC: Why are there concerns AI could threaten humanity, and how real are they?
That song really creeped me out when it came out in 1969. The film clips in the video come from the movie Metropolis, that came out 99 years ago. That movie probably creeped everybody out in 1927.
None of it came to pass.
Frightened people are easier to manipulate. If shit goes sideways, it will be because of people, not computers.
They are both in the TV show, Euphoria. Sydney gets attention for her work in advertising, while Zendaya gets attention for her work in major movies.
Which one is better?
True Crime is not my genre. Even though the Lindsay Clancy trial featured an AWFL who strangled her three young children, it could be mostly ignored until the verdict was in. Then it got interesting.
“CBS Mornings” anchor Gayle King was stunned when a juror in the high-profile Lindsay Clancy trial revealed the only holdout was the lone black person on the panel.
Well that’s fun.
It wasn’t only progressive White women who thought that Linsay Clancy shouldn’t be punished for strangling her three children, but there weren’t any conservative women who were holding their babies while telling TikTok that they occasionally wanted to kill their babies.
The guy is a hero for holding up under pressure. His identity will eventually become known, and hopefully, being a Black fella, he is less likely to be murdered by a progressive woman with toxic empathy.
This poster was in the window of the gas station convenience store. It immediately brought some thoughts to mind, but other people may think differently. Where does your mind go when you look at it?
Maryland Renaissance Festival Has Banned Furries This Year
Wenches, beggars and barbarians are welcome at this year’s Maryland Renaissance Festival. Furries are not.
And the furries — that is, the subculture defined by people who wear anthropomorphic animal costumes — have their dander up about it.
Jousting is the official state sport of Maryland. Their renaissance festivals should be pretty good, so apparently they don’t need furries.
Push to rename Nashville airport for Dolly Parton gets a boost from Tennessee’s governor
Renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America is uninspired, but this is a great idea.
I am qualified to judge because I usually come up with good names. Sparky is a great name for my little piglet, and my one-handed sledgehammer is ‘pocket Hercules’. I have names that made it into corporate literature, but let’s stay focused on Nashville International Airport.
Commentators haven’t yet explored why this is such a good idea.
Too funny.
Enes Kanter Freedom declares himself 2027 WNBA prospect, cites eligibility rules
First it was Sophie Cunningham. She seems fun and good. Now a retired NBA player declares himself to be a woman and announced his eligibility for the 2027 WNBA draft.
“I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices,” he said, adding that he wants the WNBA’s rules “applied equally, consistently, and without exception.”
Sophie has been clear on what a woman is, and been getting a lot of shit about it. WNBA management and the players union haven’t been so clear. It’s time to pick a side.
This ‘Charlie-Foxtrot’ has been allowed to exist in Madison for a couple of weeks. Police aren’t allowed in and the fire department has to waste time going around it. This chaos is a pain in the ass for everyone who lives or works in the area.
The mayor has finally decided to tear it down.
A better response is to never let it get established, and to make it clear to the insurrectionists and garbage people that seizing territory is not a legitimate way to protest.
