The shit that does merit its own thread

You’re not kidding! Jesus.

That’ll be about right. When the internet first started i’m sure those involved had high hopes. Soon dashed when The Facebook started to enable lads to compare tit pics rapidly followed by the porn industry as it’s largest user.

Whatever we think AI will be, it won’t :grin:

An ex-boss of mine also ran a small business in scientific image analysis (basically trying to get signal out of noise in two dimensions rather than one). He reckoned that almost all the major historical advances in image production since (and possibly including) the invention of the paintbrush had been driven by the desire to make better pornography and/or make it more widely available.

Can’t help feeling it would be more convincing if its grammar was de-Americanised and it could detect the logical or interpretative flaws in some of the metaphors discussed.

Also, ask the right questions - not "what are you feeling?", but “*how is that feeling being manifested?”*, for example.

I can see this convincing engineers that it is an artificial intelligence, because they are the kind of people who produce the deeply flawed and often frankly idiotic technology we’re currently afflicted with - pretty low-hanging fruit…

Still, once this shit is ‘weaponised’ by scammers it will unquestionably make the business of separating gullible morons from their wealth even more efficient than it is already…

Shame the redeveloped Manchester Victoria. Platform 11 was the longest possibly in the Europe when it used to connect with a platform in neighbouring Manchester Exchange.

During the day it didn’t get fully used but at night the Newspaper trains made full use of it.

“Please take care of it well in my absence.”

Hmm this will go down well.

Can see the pfm swear blocker going into meltdown and crashing…

Order of the Garotte would be more appropriate

Well this is pretty rubbish :frowning_face:

I last saw (great big galoot, mop of blond hair, down the front, difficult to miss) big Jeff at Low in Bristol. I hope he’s ok, but burns are never good.

Charlie Parker and Igor Stravinsky. That must have been quite a night.

As always musicians just love music and fellow musicians, they don’t care about genres. The only people who put labels on them are record comapanies and fans.

Cunts. False economy as the compressor will sieze due to lack of use and require replacement.

Also buy a car smaller than a fucking SUV.

“But I have kids and a dog….” So did the whole fucking world 40 years ago when cars were small. Pricks

We just went on holiday for a week. In our mid sized car there were four people, a dog, a bouldering mat that took up more than one seat, and all our stuff for the week. It was fine for the 2-3 hours of the journey, and we do this once or twice a year. Putting up with a bit of inconvenience is fine tbh, and I’ll now make sure that our next car is this size not bigger.
