The Moon is way more fucked up already compared to Earth.

Lol, bullshit. Plenty easy to generate sufficiently random numbers for any purpose without these boondoggles.

Quantum computers have tons of uses. They're just not powerful enough for the more interesting problems yet.
Many of the hardest problems in computer science will become tractable with quantum computers of sufficient size.
Question: when the D-Wave was first announced, people were saying it wasn't a "real" quantum computer, but I can't remember why. Is that still the case for these models?

Fair enough. :-) Some day I'd love to see someone subvert the trope and show realistic nuclear reactor failure modes, like "some little non-critical thing breaks, causing the reactor to automatically shut down, and then the operators start grumbling about 'xenon-135 transients' and what a hassle it'll be to start the damn thing back up again."

True to a point, but the math behind chat bots and text analysis is pretty open. You can take courses and see how they work.
It's like if a chat bot was trained on a lot of text from a crazy Nazi online chatroom, it would say some very weird things, compared to if it was trained on text from textbooks.
It's really impressive, but I think it's different fundamentally from real conscious AI.
Like I heard someone asked ChatGPT about opening a hot dog stand on the top of Mount Everest.
A person knows that's crazy, but a cpu is just connecting nouns (hot dog stand, Mount Everest) and verbs (opening a) and making responses.

Like a dream wherein you suddenly realize your lover only has taint and then you wake up an hour early. Can happen to anyone.

I would add. Lower tax for living in, high taxes for holding

We are so far past the Turing Test, we can't even see the Turing Test.

It’s not about simple. It’s about favoritism. You guys all act like we are stupid. We are not. We are tired of the “these guys help you” routine. Guess what? Everyone that took on college debt so your investments can succeed deserve equal treatment by the folks in DC that decide who gets bailed out

This article isn’t written well and has missed many things. The focus was just on California. Seattle it’s actually even bigger.

hey i didn’t say it was a realistic, science based book. media like movies and books often make anything having to do with the words “nuclear reactor” out to be dangerous, or just a generally negative portrayal so a fantasy disaster isn’t a far out thing to associate it with in those contexts

They are a massive industrial company. The car division was sold off decades ago.
