This same argument has been used to chase down musicians for decades for copyright violations. How many people remember the tune they heard once or twice that became the chord structure for a 15 second bridge? There are only so many natural progressions before you repeat the work of others in some small degree.

The latest theory on OpenAI’s demise centers on Effective Altruism and the Board being adherents creating issues with the very nature of AI. Working from a position of “For the Good of Humanity” can’t possibly work when you need to generate Billions of Dollars to create the very thing you fear.

If you have an iPhone, just get the Apple Watch.

There is a discussion about OpenAI having made a leap towards AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). The Holy Grail being an AI capable of mathematical computation not just parroting LLMs.

Microsoft stock is the winner in this... They still get their AI for CoPilot and come out as showing huge support for “their guy”!

It’s solely the nature of how he was booted wrapped in the shell of Tech Talk by people with little clue about Generative AI or LLMs.

Dice is a great example of a person who had talent, acting talent, and someone convinced him stand-up was the way to go.

Placing bets it was the Half Moon Switch to control Leslie’s on a C1? Something about how it never quite locked in place from slow to mid (in my experience). 

Haken Continuum Slim $4910 (weird pricing model!)

The numbers most likely took a hit with how quickly it went to Paramount+ (which is how the wife and I watched it...).

Given Johnson’s change in public support (even though he wants it tied to Border Security) has more to do with the Gaetz, et. al. crowd hanging the Sword of Damocles over his head. Going from hard no last year to “Ukraine has to prevail” shows he is spineless and hostage at the same time.

I’ve been looking at rowers, simple question...

Simplest route... go into Device Manager and uninstall the offending piece of hardware. Reboot and let Windows find the right driver. (You could just update the driver from inside the Device Manager)

I’m a week into owning a Rivian R1T after a year long wait... Quad Motor was backlogged from supply constraints. Played with it in the dirt alongside my brother’s 2022 Wrangler Limited and it held it grounds. (I babied it a little since I’m still learning how to deal with the torque curve!)

“You do not know anything until you have practiced.” ~ Richard P. Feynman

I think GM has over-promised Honda batteries and platforms... thus they are playing the high margin games due to their own system constraints.

I’ll give Waldemar a look, always wanting to learn something new...

Between Renaissance Art changing most into “like me images” and the belief that Christ drew his own depiction (Acheiropoietos or “image not made by human hands”), European Christians really are to blame for this odd narrative.

Ask them politely about Jesus’s skin tone and watch their heads explode when you point out he would have been the ONLY WHITE person in the entire Middle East. (Skin tone should be olive, akin to modern Greece if memory serves...)

Original owner of a 1990 740GLE in Silver with black leather (they gave up on the OxBlood Red for some reason!) into the ground. 225K miles before the trans gave out and I just didn’t have the knowledge to repair.
