    SpaceX can celebrate three big wins after second Starship test flight

    I'm going by what NASA considers the boundaries of space. Does that not matter, given that SpaceX is being paid by government monies? And their moon program depends on them meeting deliverables?

    SpaceX can celebrate three big wins after second Starship test flight

    The goal was to at least reach the edge of "space" and this launch was 26 miles short of that, no matter what the SpaceX bros and their downvotes say.

    Report: Sutskever led board coup at OpenAI that ousted Altman over AI safety concerns

    Copyright is for the rich and powerful. Everyone else are bitter Luddites who are against "progress and open source".

    Report: Sutskever led board coup at OpenAI that ousted Altman over AI safety concerns

    The problem is, if this is the case, it's too little, too late. That train has left the station, as soon as ChatGPT came out, everyone else jumped on the bandwagon and AI is out in the wild now. OpenAI has the admittedly large benefit of Microsoft Money and huge compute but they are hardly the...

    Getting prescription drugs online is so easy. Are regulators paying attention?

    When I lost my insurance, this was the only affordable way to get my heart medications. It was not much different from going to a clinic, they took my history and I had to show them a photo of my previous (recent) prescriptions and talk to a doctor or nurse practitioner. Healthcare in the US is...

    SBF trial to begin as judge says he faces “very long sentence” if convicted

    They absolutely should, they were up to their necks in this and FTX recently demanded they hand over that house in Bermuda and LOTS of money he handed off to them just before he was arrested. His father was on the payroll. This was a family grift.

    Sob story about dead grandma tricks Microsoft AI into solving CAPTCHA

    It almost makes me humanize them and feel bad, like tricking a very clever but very naive child. I'm always nice to these chatbots, given the very slim chance they do become sentient one day, I don't want to be on their shit-list. "Remember when you lied to me about your dead grandmother, Dave?"

    Our new Ladapo scale rates misinformation merchants

    I'm afraid I don't understand the point to any of this? We are giving out scores to how bad the people we already know are bad, really are? Who does this help? How does this help? It just seems like a parlor game for the left. Because it will have zero effect on changing anyone's mind.

    ChatGPT goes multimodal with image recognition and speech synthesis

    So it's not just me being paranoid. And yes I read all the possible explanations. And no, they didn't explain this occurring.

    Dreamy AI-generated geometric scenes mesmerize social media users

    Oh so now we are in a stupid downvote battle with the ai bros, screw this noise, go pray to your new ai gods. Pathetic.

    Dreamy AI-generated geometric scenes mesmerize social media users

    Pollock's work was not "random", it was made with intention and planning and human creativity. And you should really stop talking about a subject you are clearly ignorant about.

    Dreamy AI-generated geometric scenes mesmerize social media users

    Of course I have and far more (Octavio Ocampo, Oleg Shupliak). And they are far more beautiful and interesting to look at. This doesn't impress me. /shrug

    Dreamy AI-generated geometric scenes mesmerize social media users

    Artists have been creating optical illusion paintings for centuries.

    Dreamy AI-generated geometric scenes mesmerize social media users

    Am I the only one not overly impressed by this? I mean it's a cool effect, optical illusion, but what is everyone so excited about? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here. If an artist actually painted them, yeah, sure but..

    Black Manta is out for revenge in trailer for <em>Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom</em>

    Yeah, I've read the previews were brutal. Then you know what happens, they go back and try to "fix" it, making it worse....

    Game developers unite against Unity’s new “per-install” pricing structure

    I followed the links back to the source (Bloomberg) and apparently it's one "credible threat" and they are working with the police. Writing it as "death threats" kind of makes it sound like some bs response to social media rage posting. I hate this as much as anyone but come the fuck on with...

    As X bleeds cash, Musk threatens Anti-Defamation League with defamation lawsuit

    You're saying that as if we are in some kind of denial about a serious threat. It's just the opposite. It's that it's hard to imagine even Musk doing something so stupid, that will wind up with him being humiliated in court (or more likely hit with a SLAPP suit before it even gets there).
