The best moments of this show are where Eric has realized they’ve gone too far

They deadass got a live bear….
If you watch closely you can see the bear’s face disappear as it approaches the desk. It’s clipping, meaning that these are actually 2 shots composited together.
It really says a lot about him though that everyone was immediately like “yeah, seems like something he’d do for real”
BIRDS OF PREY - Official Trailer
I legitimately hope this bombs. It looks awful.
A little harsh about the OW lore but okay
If by “a little harsh” you mean “completely honest in calling a shit pile a shit pile”, you’re right, it is.
OMFG.
Very curious doggo
Reminder that puffins are extremely social and like to fit in with their friends, so they will adopt mannerisms and interests of the group. So there is a good chance this little guy is trying to be friends with the photographer by showing his interest in the camera.
TIL photographers are a lot like puffins, cuz we also make friends by showing interest in your camera XD
Reminds me of the time researchers were trying to get puffins to land in a specific area so the put decoys up to draw them in but the decoys only had 1 leg and
Gotta say, I’ve been talking about the threat of AI for nearly a decade, and it’s nice to see the general public just starting to pay attention. That said, almost nothing has been done to address the problem over the past decade, and the threat is rapidly approaching.
I also want to point out that this is fundamentally different from previous revolutions, like the industrial and computer, for a few reasons:
1. We may be talking about complete or nearly complete automation of a process. Human oversight may not be needed anymore. The machines are now making the decisions. (e.g. stock market A.I.)
2. Much of the application of A.I. could basically just be software. It needn’t necessarily be a robot, and that’s because so much work is completely digital. The upshot of this is that the spread of this A.I. can grow rapidly and cheaply. A company won’t need to buy a 1,000 robots (expensive). Just one license for the A.I. (affordable) to potentially replace many, many workers.
3. A.I., as the name suggests, is about intelligence, learning, and growth. This is part of the really dangerous threat to jobs: It can take a person several years to retrain for a new job. Humans have a finite speed of learning and adaptation. An A.I. may be able to learn those new jobs/skills at the same rate or faster. That means that jobs that people retrain for may also be at risk of automation. No job is safe. And if there is a job that people think is safe from automation… that job will have the most economic pressure to be automated!
So the threat isn’t just the need for retraining, but that there may not be meaningful work to be retrained toward that isn’t itself at risk.
And this threat will grow once robots become cheaper and more agile, threatening the physical-work space. And as you know, there are already many companies tapping into that space. E.g. automation of manufacturing in china.
Put another way, how long will it be until some rich dude can just describe an idea to his computer and the computer make it happen? “Hey Siri, design an ice cream cone that can stand up straight. Then make a batch of 10,000. Open a business for me. Design some promotional material. Contact local ice-cream shops. And arrange a deal for this first batch.” The A.I. does the think work, like designing the cone, and perhaps designing the machines that will make the cone… it instructs some a.i. powered workshop to build the machine. the machine is automatically shipped the ingredients. etc. Basically, no further human intervention.
What would this kind of scenario mean for the jobs market? And what kind of scenario would this create if we still have the same levels of economic inequality - where perhaps the rich can afford to create businesses that way, but the average person can’t afford such resources.
Sci-fi guns. I’m not really a gun person, but I love cool sci-fi gun designs.
I always loved these really blocky designs that look like something you would pick up from a vending machine
