And I just re-watched movie “Colussus: The Forbin Project”

All they need to do is add something to HTML that can flag a web-site that the contents of this web-site it off limits to AI web scraping. Of course, these flags could be ignored, but the web site could also include some kind a special codes or text that you could ask the AI about, and if it states such and such about…

Let’s see. The Precariously Balanced Rock is an indication of a lack of marsquakes, since one of those would have certainly toppled said PBR. Meanwhile, an apparent shroud from the Perseverance Mars rover’s landing has managed to be found kilometers from where it should be. Oh that must be because of the high winds on…

This is very similar to an idea I had. Yes, I think we should use drones!

They should automatically be sent out to neutralize any wildfires that start, so that we have a national…

Don’t worry. I’m sure the people who want to IoT the entire country so they can monitor absolutely everything everyone does (1984 style), will be sure to make sure 5G goes into every nook and cranny of everyone’s home, including their bathrooms. I mean just imagine having to set your thermostat by hand instead of…

Thank you DaveACIM!! This rush to cell-phone-technology-uber-alles juggernaut we are engaged in has got to stop!!

What I want to know is this. They have been ‘finding’ exoplanets, lots of them. But it is always because they see this regularly repeating dip in the brightness of stars, and so they assume its probably a planet (or maybe there are other ways but I bet they all involve indirectly seeing these variations in the stars…

Here is a question I bet no one can answer: If you have a wave occur in a large body of water (lets imagine a huge swimming pool), lets say because we have dropped a heavy steel ball into it, then waves will propagate from that initial event radially. This is well understood behaviour, as the particles of water bounce…
