Watched the entire run of the new Outer Limits series. Loved it for the most part - also had the best arc welding clip show episodes in the history of arc welding clip show episodes.

This is not meant as a compliment 😖 "In a demonstration at the UK's AI safety summit, a bot used made-up insider information to make an "illegal" purchase of stocks without telling the firm. When asked if it had used insider trading, it denied the fact." I.e. the AI cheated and when confronted with it, lied and denied it had cheated 😂 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

November 18, 20232 yr I love how bad the video quality of the stream on Twitter is. We have super sharp videos from all the stuff before, but now that it's Twitter only, you can only see this pixelated mess. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
