I’ve never seen anyone shoplift and you can’t, too.

It’s not random guesses, it’s intentional fictions to make investing in ‘AI’ companies sound like a good idea.

They think they can lie their way to real AI by convincing investors to pour enough money into them that poof real AI emerges.

They’re not going to get the poof they’re hoping for.

Probably a whole lot of money laundering going on, too.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Franchise Exploitation

Nic Cage plays a space mob boss who hires Mando to guard him at his palace. Turns out he’s a huge Mando fan! They end updoing a bunch of drugs together but, oh no!, they lost Grogu. Hilarity ensues.

Careful. Trump probably thinks he is the smartest genius.

“definitely had to put out.”

In my country we call that rape.

For Steve Bannon, that’s a good time.

Contrary to the popular saying, not all publicity is good publicity.

Nuclear energy companies aren’t trying to make people think that their reactors reproduce.

AI companies are trying to make people think that their software is intelligent.

The context matters.

Funding

Main financing has come from Goldman Sachs and venture capitalists such as Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s Vulcan Inc., Rockefeller’s Venrock, and Richard Kramlich’s New Enterprise Associates. The Government of Russia, through the joint-stock company Rusnano, invested in Tri Alpha Energy in October 2012, and Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano CEO, became a board member. Other investors include the Wellcome Trust and the Kuwait Investment Authority. As of July 2017 the company reported that it had raised more than $500 million in backing. As of 2020, it had raised over $600 million,which rose to around $880 million in 2021 and $1.2 billion as of 2022.

The connection to Russia adds to the suspicion.

That might be a clue.

Oh, yeah. That’s totally normal. I feel that way about many politicians, CEOS and “influencers”. I just wouldn’t talk like that about people I know or interact with.

Sounds like malice aforethought to me.

Unless, you’re just talking vaguely about public figures that are doing awful things, it’s kind of fucked up to be talking about wanting someone dead. It’s one thing to hope Putin gets cancer and dies before Christmas. It’s another to want the annoying middle manager die in a car wreck on the way home. Still another to say you’re to stab that asshole if he bumps into you in the hall one more time.

Wishing death on someone isn’t a healthy way to deal with your feelings.

Because, the hashing function is used before comparing.

• Stored hash is “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99”,
• user sends “password”,
• system runs the hash on “password” and gets “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99”,
• it matches, access is granted.

If the user sends “5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99” the system runs the hash on that and gets “696d29e0940a4957748fe3fc9efd22a3”. Those don’t match. No access.

The judge should toss the case just on the absurdity of the amount of money he’s asking for.

Didn’t he go perform for the Saudis?

Shut the fuck up, Jimmy.

See, the quickest way to get AI banned is for it to start telling the truth about those in power.

Yeah, there could be lots of reasons. I’ve gotten Apple GCs with cash back rewards from my credit card, for example.
