I propose a solution. Invest in unmanned surface vehicles to carry duplicates of mail and require every piece of mail sent to sailors to have a duplicate of which randomly is selected the actual copy of mail to send to the real navy ship. Collect duplicates of the mail and send it on unmanned surface vehicles to sail around and pretend to be navy ships while gathering surveillance data.

Then even if someone thinks they have planted a tracker on a ship successfully they will still be second guessing themselves over whether they are tracking the real ship or not.

In contrast, this is a complete electric motor, it was created for demonstration purposes but it is still fundamentally the same technology as an electric motor in an electric car.

Although they were used only for teaching, in 1828 Jedlik demonstrated the first device to contain the three main components of practical DC motors: the stator, rotor and commutator. The device employed no permanent magnets, as the magnetic fields of both the stationary and revolving components were produced solely by the currents flowing through their windings.

“Homeland once depicted Hamra Street in Beirut as some back alley shithole and funny enough they did the filming for that in Tel Aviv. Unsurprising that the writers are making Israeli slop now,” said another.

Disgusting.

yeah ok kay?

I don’t think you can truly love ICE engines and the engineering that makes them work without realizing that an Electric Vehicle will always win as an everyday beater engine. Hands down. No contest.

ICE engines are cool because of how complex they had to become in order to become even as remotely as reliable as Electric Engines are fundmanetally. Like a Mechanical Clock vs a much more mechanically simple Digital Clock.

The only reason we are even having this discussion in 2026 and it things haven’t flattened in favor of Electric Vehicles long ago was batteries used to suck. It is that simple.

If 2026 is the year earth blows itself up, at least we reached enough technological complexity and cultural sophistication to produce Slay The Spire 2. The first Slay The Spire is the kind of game you can play for the rest of your life, it is the kind of game you would give an astronaut who had to sit in a capsule for 5 months waiting to get to another planet in order to keep themselves from going insane. The fact that humanity has now produced a SECOND Slay The Spire is a milestone that will be noted by alien architects of our ruins and we should feel good about that.

fuck ai

As someone living in the US let me emphatically say “Fuck you JD Vance”.

Had they served in the Second World War they might have had their gravestones paid for by the government of Canada, but at the time of the Spanish Civil war that government was rather ambivalent about fascism and certainly suspicious of those who would go off to fight it. The Foreign Enlistment Act of 1937 made it illegal to do so and many Mackenzie-Papineau veterans were blacklisted from service in the Canadian military. This law, still on the books, should also be applicable to those Canadians who now serve in the genocidal IDF, but it’s very unlikely it will be applied.

As of right now, these two men are hard to even find at Queens Park Cemetery. You have to count your way from the end of a row and look for a gap between graves. We’d like to change that. If you’ve got a few dollars to spare, consider helping us finally fund some gravestones for two people who fought the fascist menace and likely suffered the rest of their lives for it.

Disgusting

Any other actions are attempts to distract from these two problems.

Journalism is already dead if journalists cannot defend the archive service for their journalism from the pointless wrath of their own employers.

shrugs I mean I look forward to one day rebuilding these things when we finally have a chance but this is the end of the road for traditional news organizations on the internet.

What? Not what I am saying at all? Are you reading what I said?

I don’t put any faith in companies, my point is AI doesn’t work and we shouldn’t fear it becoming too powerful. No it won’t take all of our jobs, the reason there are no jobs is we are hurtling into a depression/recession not AI.

I don’t think you are reading my points close enough.

so, yeah, it’s perfectly understandable why a lot of people are less than optimistic about the technology and its future.

Nope not what I am disagreeing with, I am disagreeing with the logic of portraying AI repeatedly as genuinely scary. I am not questioning why people are not optimistic about AI.

Your argument explains why we would tell stories that reflect negatively on AI and the people who are obsessed with AI not why we would invoke AI as something we should fear because it actually works.

There is a difference between something being overhyped bullshit and something being a near apocalyptically powerful force for evil though.

Where is your proof of that? What does Occam’s Razor say here about all the overhyped end-of-the-world claims AI people make?

This is just another cult grown out of an aesthetic attraction to a new technology everyone for a moment thought was all powerful and then realized was mostly complete bullshit.
