So loss making OpenAI is now begging for US government money to finance its research based on unproven promises of riches to follow at some unspecified date. Is anyone else recalling renaissance alchemists persuading rich patrons to support them because they'd be turning lead into gold any day now?

Never forget that the same shitlibs moaning about Donald Trump Jr., who I do not support, selling drones to his father's administration, which I do not support, were cheering drones when they were used against ISIS, which I do not support. An orgy of hypocrisy.

Good luck (haha NOT) to Peter Theil but the Aotearoa survivors will crack his bunker open like a can when we want his kai
Reading about the survival bunkers owned by like every social media executive is so telling. They talk about individualism as a means to survival when that has never ever once in history worked. We survive as communities - exactly what they own and ignore

Is six sigma of deviation a lot?
It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/
