    I talked to a guy who's building an AI system last week. He said something interesting: Whatever technology helps us out with, it makes us also suck at it. We downgrade from "good" to "good enough." Used to be, there was a lot of variability in drivers. But with today's lane assistance, anti-lock breaks, backup cameras, smart speed control, etc., etc., it's made the shit drivers safer and the good drivers worse. Good and bad drivers alike now use the technology as a crutch. Which means, with AI doing everything for us now, just imagine the spectrum of things we're going to suck at.

    So I gather, but what context? What silly ass thing prompted it? This is where we've arrived.

    Maybe they got tired of the previous head of the RNC not listening to the state organizations and spending money on private jets and hotel suites, instead of trying to elect Republicans.

    She also did a video reacting to Purple’s vocalist, Ian Gillan on Child in Time. https://m. Link to video There is another opera singer critiquing Gillan doing the same. https://m. Link to video Worth watching just to compare and contrast. Gillan and the band blow them away with their musicianship and technique. Here’s another with Maggie Renee reacting to the late Ronnie James Dio: Link to video

    @Renauda said in Town with highest rate of deaths linked to alcohol, drug abuse and suicide in England: Anyhow, Grandfather’s cousin, uncle Frank, used to recite by heart the story of Albert and the Lion in full West York’s dialect right up to a year before he passed at 96 years. Funnily enough, my dad knew it by heart too, although he, like Stanley Holloway, was from London. We had a record of it when I was a kid - that, and A Child's Christmas in Wales, got a lot of playtime on the old record player.

    @Axtremus said in Fleeing....: More space for the immigrants bussed from the South, right? Absolutely! Abbott needs to hire some freight trains. Put a Portapotty, a few cases of water and some MRE's in the freight cars and send them straight to the Left Coast.

    Yeah. I lost interest about halfway through the first season. Yellowstone meets La Brea. Unsuccessfully.
