Translation of intercepted transmission simulcast from coconut-based radio antennae located at [REDACTED]: "SOS... Mothership please come in. Dominant primate faction on this colony world has gone rogue... Request immediate evacuation... SOS!"

"The Ultra-Yodeler" will be my next superhero concept.

A question for those in the know about such things: I understand why an AI bot scrapes data for training, but could someone explain what's up with the AI gen'ed bug reports? Where do those originate and why? What's gained from spamming bad bug reports?

Instead of caving to the Regime, these ad wizards could put funds toward fighting the forces subjugating them. They have the skills to boost the appeal and reach of all the excellent anti-fascist journalism out there, after all. But that would require forethought. And a soul. It's a shame...

Has Donald been in Melania's wardrobe again, strutting around in her famous overcoat?

Given this inevitably buggy and insecure payment system, the question is: Who will end up stealing all the taxpayer dollars first: Elon Musk, Russian hackers, or North Korea?

The press is targeted with investigations on mere content grounds. University students and staff are threatened for protesting. Lawyers are pressured for representing clients in opposition to the Party. Scientific research into climate, epidemics, guns, sexuality, etc, is scrubbed or defunded...

But the real enemy is the woke researchers who are exposing systemic racism in law enforcement. /s

Remember back when brain worms were merely horrifying subjects of Beth Mole articles, instead of making major US health policy decisions? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

Yes! And personally, I really appreciate reading articles from a sci/tech news outlet that's biased against abject stupidity and pseudoscience.

IT won't "translate" at all, because those detailed maps are integral to the driving task, at least right now. I don't know Waymo's long-term strategy, but the reason they don't currently deploy just anywhere at anytime is because they first collect tons of map data. (I don't know if that...

That's how Waymo works, iirc. They don't use only their sensor suite; they're also driving to a very detailed 3D map that includes curbs, poles, trees, hydrants, drains, lane lines, buildings, etc. This map constantly updates as fleet sensors detect changes in the environment (eg, construction...

The handwriting, to me, seems like a step backward. Overall, it's less natural, as if it was selected off the fonts menu in a word processor. It look like the text was handed off to another piece of software that rendered it in an appropriate typeface, then handed back to the image generator...

TO be fair, this doesn't "raise questions" so much as "confirm blatant criminality that everyone already knew about."

It's absolutely disgusting that overt corruption is now a feature rather than a bug in our system.

Can we expect that some techbro startup will soon step in to fly these balloons at enormous mark up to the taxpayer?

Matt Lanza looks a lot like Eric Berger in the author mini-bio at the bottom of the article! edit: Nevermind, it's been fixed.

I don't believe it's a sense of entitlement not to be observed, so much as a sense of fear of the sheer scale of that observation nowadays. The novel 1984, for example, is in part predicated on exactly that fear, and it was written decades before such massive real-time data collection on a...

The wall with a pic painted on is only the final - and intentionally rather silly - test in that video. The other tests include much more realistic situations, such as thick fog, bright oncoming lights, and heavy rain. The lidar passed every test, while cameras-only Tesla failed in exactly the...

DOGE: "We promise transparency!" Also DOGE: "No, not like that!!"
