Not to say that Trump normally looks spry and youthful, of course, but that picture of him is the worst I can remember seeing him. I'm surprised they used it for an interview like this.

Forests in general shouldn't be seen as a way to "sequester" carbon, trees are just temporary storage for it. They're nice to have, of course, and serve many benefits. But not that one.

And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like

And becomes new clickbait in the process.

Yeah, it was totally Biden that took down the regulatory state. Democrats are well known for their opposition to regulation.

You're blaming Joe Biden for Cloudstrike? You are ridiculous.

It looks like the ladies approached the soldiers, not the other way around. The soldier speaking was polite, and didn't tell her what to say in response to his "glory to Ukraine." She could have just said nothing. I'm really not seeing a problem here.

If the women felt threatened they could have simply not approached the Ukrainian soldiers.

Eh, there didn't seem to be any sort of implied threat or imbalance of power in the little snippet presented here. The old ladies approached the soldiers and asked for a lift, and the soldiers seemed honestly apologetic that they had no room to provide one.

It's quite interesting seeing the "depoliticization" of the general Russian population having this effect, when the Ukrainians moved in a surprising number seem to be just shrugging and going "new management, I guess." Will be interesting to see how the occupation goes if it's long-term.

Russia ran out of tires to throw into it, I guess.

Looking forward to the "Waymo robotaxis become silent killers stalking the night" headlines once the fix is implemented.

No, a summary is just a condensed version of some larger work. If the larger work contains bullshit then so can the summary, that doesn't stop it from being a summary. As you say, a summary accurately portrays the substance of that content. In this case there was content that said Alpha Centauri was 13 km from Earth, so the summary said that too.

This is really not complicated.

Companies burn obscene amounts of money on moonshots all the time, even ones that have no possibility of success.

If you think it has no possibility of success, sit back and relax as AI goes away.

They absolutely cannot reliably summarize the result of searches, like this post is about

The problem is that it did summarize the result of this search, the results of this search included one of those "if the Earth was the size of a grain of sand, Alpha Centauri would be X kilometers away" analogies. It did exactly the thing you're saying it can't do.

Any meaningful rate of failures at all makes them massively, catastrophically damaging to humanity as a whole.

Nothing is perfect. Does that make everything a massive catastrophic threat to humanity? How have we managed to survive for this long?

You're ridiculously overblowing this. It's a "ha ha, looks like AI made a whoopsie because I didn't understand that I actually asked it to do" situation. It's not Skynet coming to convince us to eat cyanide.

And this is all completely ignoring the obscene energy costs associated with making web searches complete and utter dogshit.

Of course it's ignoring that. It's not real.

You realize that energy costs money? If each web search cost an "obscene" amount, how is Microsoft managing to pay for it all? Why are they paying for it? Do you think they'll continue paying for it indefinitely? It'd be a completely self-solving problem.
