  • Followup on the vehicle "kill switch" mandated by the Infrastructure Bill

  • Can't tell you how often I get a reminder to keep my eyes on the road, just because I repositioned my head, or tilted it down to stretch my neck. My eyes are on the road damn it. Now my car will turn off in the middle of the highway if i get a stiff neck...great.

    Also, I had no idea subaru did this. I saw a recent article that mentioned a few big named car brands, and subaru wasnt included, so, i was naively hopefull. Plus, I realize im being recorded anyways, in an infinate amount of ways, but i didnt realize the car was in on it too. Wow, that sucks. I need to pay better attention, no pun intended.

  • You have a point. I sometimes definitely forget to consider the flip side of the coin.

  • Not at all. Back to that educating the public bit.

    I'm not a tech wiz, but I do know my way around basic functions of a computer. If i have no* idea how it works or what it's capable of, how are people who know next to nothing supposed to figure it out?

  • Well, shit. This explains a lot. But also, what chucklehead thought that was a good idea.

    I know, now that you mention it, I vaguely remember something about how they didn't think it should be kept only by some corps or something. Which is commendable but at the same time, ugh.

    I have no problem with everyone being able to use it ,but there should have been an introductory period, if nothing else. Jeeze.

    Whelp, fake everything here we...are.

  • Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like anything produced by AI should be somehow watermarked at the source. At this point there's only a handful of companies. It wouldn't be too hard to have them all insert something into the final product that is easily identifiable. Something like a microscopic signature in a corner, with model info and date produced...idk. Not anything that ruins the image, but something that can be seen by anyone, if looked for.

    If nothing else there should be a large push to inform the public of telltale features to look for (i.e. too many appendages) to help them determine if it's created by AI or not. While not fool proof, if it can discount even a portion of the misinformation, imo, it's worth an effort.

    To me, it seems irresponsible of the companies running the AI to just unleash it upon the world without training us humans to understand what we're looking at. Letting us see how realistic everything is while letting us know its been produced by AI, at least helps us to comprehend the scope of the matter and adapt to the situation at hand. Esp for those who don't fully grasp what AI can and cannot do.

  • Went to the vet yesterday since my boy was acting weird. Turns out he was showing very mild signs of paralysis.

  • It sounds like you caught it pretty early. Earlier than where it would be at for many pet parents.

    Just give him love and encouragement, and do what you can to help him out. Try and reassure him the best you can through this uncertainty. Im sure hes just as confused about whats happening to him as you are. Sometimes things just happen. All you can do is to be the best friend to him that you can be and hopefully treatment will help.

    You did good and you're giving it all you got. That's what counts.

    Also, depending on the diagnosis, treatment needs, where your located, and your amount of resources, there maybe places with state of the art facilities that can help. Here we have Texas A&M. They can handle things like rare disease, chemo, dialysis, and complicated surgeries. If it looks like the appropriate thing to do, it maybe worth asking your vet if there's someplace like that around you.

    Good luck and I wish you guys the best.

  • Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles

  • As interesting as that would be to happen, in reality, there's just going to be a bunch more people going without pre natal care.

  • 100, here I cum

  • This. No one realizes that your probably not gonna make it to 100 in perfect health. If your body doesn't go, it will be your mind. Either way, it does not sound appealing.

    If nothing else, the arthritis has gotten so bad, you wanna off yourself anyways.

    Hard pass.

  • Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?

    Jump

  • Not that I think this is the way, I don't, but...

    With the amount of time it takes to train a completely green person off the street, even at seemingly menial tasks, im not sure corporations would actually allow this.

    Although, they arent paying a wage, this plan would eat into real production time and materials, and with this "just in time," software oriented, prefab mindset they have, overall i think they would still lose money.

    Sure they don't have to train people to think anymore, but even operating machinery correctly or following a preset design, is rough for alot of people.

    The struggle to find knowledgeable, skilled labor is real, but unless paid people are taking time out of thier day to teach these interns the ins and outs of a machine or how to read plans, said intern wouldn't learn jack squat. Unless the company has time and money to kill, at the very least, trade school is still required.

    Nah, corporations would never go for it.
