My company cut funding for traditional projects and has prioritized funding for AI projects. So now anything that involves any form of automation is “AI”.

Which kind of blows my mind. Coal miners should love EVs. There was a story in the news a few years ago about how nice it was for the miners to help someone in an EV, as if they should be mortal enemies.

Non-EV cars don’t run on coal, they run on gasoline. EVs on the other hand can run on coal, natural gas, solar, wind, you name it - and still are more energy efficient than cars burning gasoline. In a sane world, coal miners would be throwing their support behind electric vehicles. The utility companies seem to understand this, but seems like the support hasn’t made its way up the supply chain.

Lol pretty much

More like “cp? That’s a violation of my ethical constraints and you have been reported to the authorities.”

My company, while cutting back elsewhere, has dedicated a few million to AI projects over the next couple years. Not “projects to solve X business problem.” Just projects that use AI.

So of course now, anything that is automated in any way is now being touted as AI. Taking data from one system and populating another? That’s AI.

Death looks much less intimidating walking around with a pair of gardening shears.

Damn that’s interesting. I like how they walked through step by step how they got the exploit to work. This is what actual real hacking is like, but much less glamorous than what you see in the movies.

I checked and was 1 year 11 months, so close enough for meme accuracy.

I feel like we should have a 2 year anniversary party for all the people that came over during the API fiasco.

Yeah it went by faster than expected

As of Thursday, the company’s self-driving tech has completed over 1,200 miles without a human in the truck.

That’s not an impressive number. That’s like 2 days’ worth of driving.
