If you like building things, I've been playing the hell out of "Mars First Logistics".

Basically, you build custom mars rovers to move increasingly ridiculous shipments across the red planet. And the whole game has the visual style of a Lego instruction manual.

Can you explain that sentence?

That's the thing, they only have any interest in "innovative new uses for AI", they aren't interested in delivering power, so they're going to do a shitty job of it, they're going to make a mess that we'll all be left with.

Additionally, if they connect their power to the grid at all, then they need to work seamlessly or the entire grid is at risk. Again, the aspect of their business they don't care about at all has to work seamlessly...

Don't get me started on nuclear, just no. They don't get to play with isotopes.

The risks here are huge, the potential consequences are disastrous to both the economy and the environment. And the potential rewards are what? Lining the pockets of AI grifters? Pushing expensive technology that nobody wants?

That was basically just the process of creating bridges back then, it's not far off from how it works today...

I don't think that was an avoidable issue, you need to build temporary support structures while bridge building is in progress. In other words, if an extensive support structure is a deal breaker for you, it turns out you're not building a bridge today.

Why no, not like that.

More like "doctors? You mean bio-chem researches".

Driver could shoot the HSI douche in the head and I'd say self defense isn't murder.

I wouldn't want to test that in court. That's the kind of case only a white person could win.

And with font discussions comes this guy...

Well that was a fascinating and hilarious read. Thanks for posting that!

That said, 2006 was a long time ago now, I think that kind of issue with the calibri font in particular is going to become less and less relevant.

The original law? What's the wording on that I wonder...

Well one could possibly coat the license plate with a material that left those cameras unable to scan the plate, while any human could read it just fine, not even knowing there was something different about it. I would be totally in favor of that.

 

Ok Lemmings look, I love life and I love my family, so I'd hate to have to blow my fucking brains out. So what's another strategy for tuning out this incessant lava chicken?

Alternatively, does anyone have a time machine and enough money to convince Jack Black to not do the Minecraft movie?
