@hart The girls actually said yes. That's how human trafficking works. You abuse power and money to make people say yes where they should say no.

And yes, Trump thinks he can just buy Greenland. He thinks he can just buy anything.

@lokeloski Gen AI can replace incompetent people. Well, it will be incompetent, too, but often somewhat better.

Same with self-driving cars. Self-driving cars replacing incompetent drivers and driving somewhat better than them is good enough to improve overall traffic safety.

We like to compare AI with the best people out there — we made the same mistake with chess players and go players and only accepted AI superiority when AI was able to beat the world champion; but it was playing better than average a decade before.

Current Gen AI is certainly worse than the best. But we don't have that many best people out there. We have a lot of stupid, uneducated people. And we have them in positions of power where they never should have been promoted to, and they do spectacularly wrong things there.

We are constantly overestimating human intelligence, too. Not just Gen AI intelligence.

@andrewstroehlein Me: after they threw me out for “insulting” Nazis.

@xkcd We haven't. Wegener's book is from 1915, and the theory developed during the 19th century.

There were some dickheads that refused to accept this solid theory until the 1960s, 1970s. They don't count. They were so backwards that they needed Nazis to help them with spaceflight.

@kitten The hospital started out as 1de Octubre, they didn't get very far.
