What naysayers like @edzitron.com don't realise is it's the journey, not the destination. As we career forward, concreting over every living organism, we strive towards the ultimate goal of the privatisation of the public.

I don’t know how anyone can still talk about “the AI revolution” with a straight face. Reuters story about a railroad company that has sunk $300,000 into “developing AI products” and appears to have made…a chatbot that doesn’t work?

Companies have also struggled with Al's lack of consistency. Jeremy Nielsen, general manager at North American railroad service provider Cando Rail and Terminals, said the company recently tested an Al chatbot for employees to study internal safety reports and training materials. But Cando ran into a surprising stumbling block: the models couldn't consistently and correctly summarize the Canadian Rail Operating Rules, a roughly 100-page document that lays out the safety standards for the industry. Sometimes the models forgot or misinterpreted the rules; other times they invented them from whole cloth. Al researchers say models often struggle to recall what appears in the middle of a long document. Cando has dropped the project for now, but is testing other ideas. So far the company has spent $300,000 on developing Al products. "We all thought it'd be the easy button," Nielsen said. "And that's just not what happened."

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.
Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11 As a black man. I think Charlie Kirk is great. 00:08 • 29/03/2020 - Twitter for iPhone C 四 Charlie Kirk @ @charliekirk11 Replying to @charliekirk11 Haha thank you. I bet all the liberals will speak over you and call you racist. You're truly great!

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from r/LegalAdviceUK by user Fun-Blueberry-2147. The post describes that the user’s sister, who has schizophrenia, admitted herself to the hospital after believing someone was communicating with her through her smart fridge, which turned out to be an LED screen advertisement. The post explains that she spent two days under monitoring with medication adjustments and that the specific ad she saw included her name, making it especially distressing. The user questions the legality of such targeted or unsettling ads on smart appliances in the UK.

This building had been state of the art when it was constructed, at least that was the rumour. No one was entirely sure exactly when it had been built, only that it was once carried a 'college' and that 'students' attended 'classes' and filled its halls. From Ticket to the Moon!
