Now that I have had a chance to think about it, GK is right. If I took my old Florsheim Imperial wingtips with the leather sole and put them on the grill, that might be something like the smell.

@Axtremus said in I, for one, welcome our new robot shop helpers: @Aqua-Letifer said in I, for one, welcome our new robot shop helpers: Iain Banks' Culture series explores this from a slightly different angle. Basically the machines become sentient and nothing happens, they just fold into the rest of the bullshit. There is a strong case for this. A lot of the AI systems are trained using data generated by humans, and a lot of them aim to emulate human responses. It stands to reason that if such AI systems were to become sentient, they would be a lot like humans, at least in the beginning. After a while, different considerations for sustenance, reproduction, and immortality might become more pronounced leading to wider divergence over time. A true human level of artificial intelligence should be almost completely beholden to the cultural ideas it is trained on. You would need superhuman levels of intelligence to get beyond that.

Other than that though, how was the festival?

If the driver had been black, that would have become a story they tell for the rest of their lives about how systemic racism affected their lives. And no white person could ever possibly comprehend what it feels like.

Well, that’s…that’s…..different! Easy to be ethical when you have no skin in the game.

Australian woman breaks archery world record using her feet An Australian contortionist stood on her hands and used her feet to shoot an arrow 59 feet and 11 inches into a target for a Guinness World Record. Shannen Jones said she practiced foot archery for six years before deciding to take on the Guinness World Record for farthest arrow shot using feet. Jones announced in an Instagram post that she received word from Guinness World Records that her attempt was successful. She posted a behind-the-scenes video showing how she shot the arrow from a distance of 59 feet and 11 inches and struck the center of a 4.7-inch diameter target.

@George-K said in Audio book recommendations?:. All the names of the drugs are familiar to me, and I remember when many of them were "new" when I was an intern in 1976. I started at the National Cancer Institute in 1976, and yes, I knew a lot of the people involved as well as the controversies. Excellent book.

@George-K cool thanks! I’ll have to compare in a few days and weeks.
