It’s also a place to dump cop murder victims.

The discovery comes after the circumstances of Dexter Wade’s death were uncovered. Wade’s mother spent months looking for her son only to find out he was fatally struck by a Jackson police car less than an hour after leaving home. He was killed and buried without the family’s knowledge.

Buncha degens from undiscovered country.

Substack bans pornography but allows Nazis.

This is clearly a derivative of the work done by Doctor Emmett Brown in the mid 1950s.

Wow, coming outta nowhere to sideswipe Mississippi for no apparent reason, great work you’re doing here.

High-speed rail connecting every North American city.

Warp core engineers: we need redundancies and safeguards here, here, and here

Bridge console engineers: don’t forget the high-voltage rail and the concussive feedback blasters

Chair engineers: fuck seatbelts wooooo

I hate that a corp saw people organically having stupid fun with stupid dare fads, something humans have been doing forever, and they made a product out of it.

Covid can cause terrible liver damage though.

Admittedly I’m an amateur, but I consider “automation” to encompass algorithms, heuristics, cron jobs, shell scripts, lambdas, basically anything created to do some steps that we’ve already figured out. As I understand it, machine learning uses statistical algorithms. The article makes the process sound like heuristics, though:

“K-ECAN uses basic information already readily available in the EHR, like patient demographics, weight, previous diagnoses and routine laboratory results, to determine an individual’s risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma,” said Rubenstein.

I wouldn’t consider any of that kind of automation to be “intelligence.” Most of the stuff we currently call “AI” is the best form of automation that we can create right now, but it’s still not AGI.

This is not “intelligence.” This is automation.
