I think we should pay people who don't want to work to stay home.

Sure, it costs tax money, but I think it's a reasonable hypothesis that idiots and --------- people cost the economy more.

Plus the headache of expecting a service out of these people, or even worse, working with them.

I can't imagine letting a girly popstar ruin music.

If it's not your thing, just change the station. No need to get upset about it.

Padding his resume for the base before the election.

Fetterman is a slob and I've always thought so.

Christ, even Mitch McConnell wears a suit.

Balldinger et al. read stuff like this, sees anything about trans, assigns a position to the left, comes here to complain about it.

Regarding LLMs, I think it's a useful thought experiment for everyone to think about the power, and limitations, of language.

I don't need to have a mystic eye to know someone who is biased will only find fault in people they hate.

Change out hate for "judgement" and that's you.

I don't see anyone claiming this tech uses LLMs.

All that said, I think ATC has a lot of potential for improvement through more integration of ANN.

AI technology is the most transformative technology ever invented by man.

I lean towards the internal combustion engine. But only time will tell.

I was being facetious with the bicycle reference. But a lot of it is hype.

The technology isn't even profitable, and their plan is to build it so they ask can ask it how to be profitable. That's a stupid plan which I believe has been executed by many people but rarely pans out.

For example, I am highly skeptical Anthropic's wet-lab venture will succeed. I wonder if they got the idea from Claude.

Most of it is a scam.

Russia could join the West and become very wealthy.

They just need to stop being belligerent.

And any of this talk about "NATO is encroaching on Russia" is BS. These countries joined NATO because the USSR oppressed the ---- out of them and they don't want to go back to that.

Ukraine figured that out too late.

developers == OpenAI, Anthropic, Palantir...

Scam Altman et al.'s fear mongering has backfired on them big time.

But we're not talking about LLMs here, even though (I guess) the underlying model is the same (ANN).

AI at this stage is not going to replace human ATCs. But it can help overworked controllers to expand their mental "bandwidth", which in the case of managing a tad under 100k commercial flights per day in the US means improved safety.

I get many of the risks of AI (mostly associated with the developers themselves), I'm bearish on the economics (reminds me of telecom overbuild), but the technology is useful and the applications are myriad.

Some folks talk about AI reminds me of what the townsfolk might have said the first time someone rode a bike through town.

Honestly though, who spends their time thinking about whether airline pilots are furries or not?

Perverts and degenerates, that's who.

All the ------ talk on the DR from righties is a similar thing.

At least the pilots all know they have a fall-back gig at the FBI.

Hunting can be fun and rewarding. Especially when game is abundant. But acting like killing and gutting a deer is some life lesson or instills some kind of wisdom reeks of insecurity. Some people build their whole identity around hunting which is particularly stupid.

Anyone else who develops software that hacks businesses and governments would face hard time.

Why are these software engineers (or even Scam Altman) treated any different?

Start locking up researchers and see how fast this stops.

Some people are just belligerent. Trump is one of them.

I kinda hope the Houthis stick around in some capacity because their military spokesman is a hoot. For some reason my twisted mind gets a kick out of watching him go on and wag his finger. Very funny!

Glad to see the Saudis taking care of business.

We should support our allies, but we should not be their attack dogs.

Not happy we're "investing" in energy infrastructure in Saudi and not at home.

America First. LOL.

Religious zealots (and religious cons) have been predicted "the downfall of humanity" for as long as civilization has been around.

It's just as stupid to do it now as it was all the other countless times throughout history.

"Give us another chance" reeks of desperation.

It must help to have no shame.

If you want to blame the Brits (and also the French) for WWII, I'd suggest going with the Treaty of Versailles.

There are lots of examples in war where a small miscalculation had big impacts. Like accidentally bombing civilians instead of military facilities.

Nazi sympathizer?

He's already a well established Putin sympathizer. Call him moscowsnot.

I can't wait to see the uniforms.

We intercepted a Chinese trade vessel back in the 90s, only we claimed it was transporting chemical weapons.

Before we boarded the vessel to inspect (along with Chinese and Saudi inspectors who found nothing), we shut off ship's GPS rendering it unable to navigate thus crippling the ship.

The event resulted in China's own development of "GPS" (BeiDou, which you may recall a certain Pakistani spamming the DR about). The Iranians are using the modern version to bomb our assets today.
