@ryanlightbourn Can people really not see how awful this is? The tech behind it is amazing, but if you consider it without regard to how it was created -- as just a motion picture -- it really stinks.

I keep saying Hollywood isn't cooked. Starting to think I'm wrong.

@AsianDawn4 How can I monetize my psychopathy? Hmm... lemme see..

🇯🇵 Two Black-Americans were arrested in Japan on Sunday after a reckless stunt inside a zoo habitat housing Punch, a 9-month-old Japanese macaque who became a viral internet sensation. The mascot costume worn during the stunt was reportedly associated with a cryptocurrency marketing gimmick or meme coin social media account.

@chatgpt21 Help, our conveyor belt is too short, how should we fix it?

The moment the robot passed the human worker, because the human had to take a bathroom break

@BlakeLinton @rhensing Unless it's a drunk at 2:00 AM in the nightclub district.

@Tim69007092 @rhensing True, but the AI still doesn't need to know he's jogging or what jogging is. The training data presumably contains the knowledge that humans moving parallel to the road at that speed usually continue to do so.

FSD faced a real life trolley problem today and everyone lived. I was messing with the MCU when I felt the truck jerk right and then a harder jerk left. Cresting a hill a lady was coming into my lane so FSD moved to the shoulder to avoid her but a jogger was coming so it quickly veered left to give room. 💪🤘

@BlakeLinton @rhensing When it comes to predicting his position, the difference between a jogger and a road-crosser is large.

@Tim69007092 @rhensing Hopefully not. All it needs to know is that he's a human and his velocity. Anything more is a waste of precious computing resources.

@1776General_ FWIW, 1958 was towards the end of a great wave of public-housing construction.

I went back to the FBI crime stats of 1956 10% of the population and made up 60% of violent crime. There was no rap music in 1956. 78% of blacks were married.

@Hombrelmparable Do people really not see how much he's over-acting?

Nombra la mejor representación de un psicópata en una película. Yo empiezo:

@JosephJacks_ Nature is an adorable baby animal getting eaten alive. Technology is the long road to fix that.

Nature is almost infinitely more spectacular than technology.

@edzitron So what if the company isn't there in 2 years? Inference will still be there.

the current flood of data centers is nothing to do with "the internet or modern computing and communication." AI data centers are not making the internet faster or more-available. They are there to offer inference for companies that won't exist in two years

@Scout_503 Cool!

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇 My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here. They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it. And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites. $7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark… PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway. A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid. There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway. A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall. Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time. This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents. Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

@rentbotsTX It's the batteries they're worried about. How do they know it's not a cheap Chinese battery? A battery fire in the passenger compartment could be catastrophic.

We just got robots banned from Southwest Airlines. You’re welcome 🫡 Yesterday we flew our humanoid robot Stewie from Las Vegas to Dallas on Southwest — something we (and others) have tried and failed multiple times because batteries are always the issue. This time we cracked it. Custom lithium pack, spec’d just under the legal limit. Stewie boarded, buckled up, and flew like a completely normal passenger. This morning a Southwest employee leaks us the internal training they just pushed to EVERY flight attendant companywide. Mandatory. Urgent. With a photo of Stewie on the plane as the example of what to look out for. We didn’t break a single FAA rule. Not one. They just weren’t ready for us. Robophobic? Arguably. The robots are traveling whether the airlines are ready or not. 🤖✈️

@Rainmaker1973 Maybe show the base of it, which is the whole point.

This is a stilling basin (also known as an energy dissipator. Located at the base of a dam, it takes the fast-moving water and forces it into intense turbulence which dissipates most of the water's kinetic energy. This prevents dangerous erosion and scouring of the riverbed.

@Gitmo99 Best way to teach kids things is by example. If you just steer them around like this, it doesn't stick.

A family had a bad experience in a restaurant and this situation could have gone so many different ways. These children will grow up and have successful lives because of wonderful parenting. #HIAW 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@DrewPavlou Turns out funny-looking people are often extremely angry about it.

Liberal guy with massive YouTube channel specialising in United States history videos: “I would make it my life mission to murder every single white man, woman or child on the continent”

@GuGi263 I remember a shots-fired police vid beside a pasture, and a bunch of cows came running over to see what the hell was going on.

Cows are extremely curious animals who are well known for keeping a close eye on things they find interesting

@spikedonline @intel_lady It's like she's malfunctioning.

@TheHumanoidHub The acrobatics are old news -- and not very useful. When do they fix the hands?

This is the first time we're seeing the latest generation Boston Dynamics Atlas in motion. - Features 56 DoF, with 360° rotation in key joints - 6.2 ft tall, weighs 198 lb (90 kg) - Operating temperature: -20° to 40°C - IP67 dust and water protection - Only two unique actuators to minimize cost and complexity - A Limb can be swapped in less than 5 min.

@elonmusk The voice-acting is so bad, I don't think Hollywood needs to worry yet.

@Alex_li @credealjunkie Yeah, "Point Reeves," get busy. (Who are these people?)

@credealjunkie Point Reeves seashore would be such a dope spot to develop anybody who has $1 billion and wants to do this. Please hire me.
