Nice collection but nothing really suitable for the new project.

The continual evolution of language is either a sign of laziness, or of inner-vittive thinking. One nue-ism that I like is 'word salad'. It's a bit more polite than the old 'buzzword bingo' that it replaces.

Too late! Already happening.

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm on my seventh decade. Does that make me decadent? (This is the thread for language confusion) Do we change sides for the second quarter, or is that in the second half? English! - she is a silly language.

Well if you listened to the clip I posted above, you will see how A.I. is presently being implemented. Bear in mind that trump got the best A.I. to create his A.I. powered government website. Then, as soon as it gave inconveniently true answers to public questions, the administrators modified the A.I. to respond with answers that were politically modified. Of course greater computing systems COULD be a boon to humanity. But A.I.'s are being created by billionaires who care little about anyone but themselves, and are being facilitated by politicians with similar motives.

And I've had 3/4 century. So far. The mind boggles.

And the Ministry of Truth. Where history is continually revised to reflect whatever dear leader says each day. Tis about time we make '1984' and 'Brave New World' compulsory reading for everyone.

PS of course 1950 is mid century. Exactly halfway between 19 hundred and 20 hundred. Which makes me both 'old school' and 'mid century'.

It'd have to be a solid algorithm for me to trip over it. The algorithms I've met were just ones n zeros.

You sound like you are definitely old school.

OK. Should this go here, or 'wot trump did today'? The Whithouse opened a new A.I. gov website. Using Super Intelligence, it told public true answers ....... until the admin changed it's programming to be less honest. https://youtu.be/aAFzt-ee5L0?si=WU2dJA1D4O7BzFYx

Don't keep blaming one particular sociopathic pxxxk. There is a whole mob of them. Should the head dkhead be removed, there is an endless supply of replacements. And many of them are more devious than the orange one. And the opposition party is not all that interested in the wellbeing of the populace, either. With the guardrails of supine court and the constitution neutered, the next political cycle will be very interesting. Stock up the popcorn.

I guess you didn't notice the leaves...... not your usual tomato plant. It also lacks the expected round red fruit, too. OME should surely recognise the species. The rest of you have led sheltered lives.... https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=122146800267191616&id=61585748505094

In Ulladulla local gardening comp, first prize in 'Tomato' category, went to a bemused 83 y.o. bloke. Nothing dull about it. Not sure if the lady in the pic is one of the judges, but she seems to be enjoying a relaxing drag on her smoke!

They don't have one. Seems they hope to get in by 'at least we aren't Repugnican'. In the past it has worked in Australian politics. I think Donny and the repuglicans have given so much material that could be used.... but - silence is all we hear. I recall donny once said that if he ever ran for president, it would have to be with the repuglican party because republicans are so dumb.

My point was.... Does anybody else see USofA as becoming a third world country? I think the Indian billionaires do.

This bloke just keeps giving more and more amazing comically blind stuff. "There's a company known as Mesabi," the president said in the Oval Office. "And they're going to make a big investment in a place called Iowa. I love Iowa. I won Iowa every time. Today, we're thrilled to announce that Mesabi Metallics will be building the largest steel plant in American history in the great state of Iowa." What he didn't mention was who might fund it. Seems the guy behind it is #1 son of India's richest family, and India is industrializing like crazy but is iron ore-poor. As usual Trump is trying to take credit for something that he didn't do. And nobody can see that when India finds a cheaper place to make their steel, is that place is a third world country? Oh yeah, the art of the deal!

If anyone puts down the A.I. doge, we are all in trouble.

That's exactly what they are saying. The owner had control of A.I.'s training, but not control of what that A.I. actually does. So, how will the courts go about sueing a machine when it causes damage or costs to people?

And that's why we do it. Like flying.

Now that you are back in lerv with it, will you stay in Blighty?

Well there goes the neighbourhood. Thanks for the warning. I'll warn Dept of Immigration to keep an eye out.

Not so much 'what has trump done now', more what is trump doing in November... A long entertaining rant by an annoyed Australian, and worth a read. https://ifloz.substack.com/p/donald-trump-this-is-why-we-fucking?publication_id=7671401&post_id=217533596&isFreemail=true&r=tosdr&triedRedirect=true
