Tech Workers Share 40 Dark Truths That The General Public Rarely Understands About AI

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. The gist of the ".com bust" of the early 2000s was that investors were hungry to get a piece of the pie and eagerly put money behind anything with a flash ".com" presence, even if they didn't have a viable business model, or any sort of business model at all. Similarly, a lot of AI startups don't seem to have anything that could be defined as a marketable product.

102 Funny Pics That Perfectly Encapsulate Slavic Culture (New Pics)

This was an issue several years ago on both Boeing 787 and Airbus A350s. The main problem was a failure of the paint primer. If a chip developed it could result in peeling that would expose the underlying wing structure to excessive amounts of UV radiation at altitude. The solution was to put some aircraft tape over the chip until the wing could be repainted.

Chuck's song is "All Stars." My personal favorite classical Latin adaptation is "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," they had to cheat a little bit since 'boulevard' is a more recent French term. Other s-tier adaptations are The House of the Rising Sun in Old French, Immigrant Song in Old Norse, and the Bardcore version of Orinoco Flow. The 'Tavern Version' of Holy Diver is an honorable mention.

I got pulled aside by security in Egypt, because they thought my Nintendo Switch was an IED. When I said, 'No, it just plays Mario...' it didn't have the result I expected. They did not know Mario. They kept me aside for hours. I hate airports anyway, but Egypt was something else. Could have been worse I guess. 🤷‍♂️

Tech Workers Share 40 Dark Truths That The General Public Rarely Understands About AI

Developing a parasocial relationship with an AI is literally the worst thing an actual human being can do. It is incredibly dangerous and deleterious. The AI is NOT human, no matter how "chatty" or how "friendly" its tone gets with us, and treating it as if it were another person is way too risky. We humans anthropomorphize the heck out of our PETS, but at least our pets love us. AI doesn't. It's a very, very dangerous razor-thin line to walk when you talk to an AI as if it were a person. Almost instinctively, our brain will start to lie to itself and act as if it truly believes we ARE talking to a real person.
