I think you like these new names better mainly because you think it makes other people angry.

Surely no super intelligence will waste time on a plan so convoluted. Delete the water supply.

In my area, garbage collection is not done by the city, you pay a quarterly subscription to a private company if you want pickup. If not, you take it to the dump yourself. Some of my family live somewhere there are 3 of these pickup companies operating (which also pick up on different days).

Just saying, city run trash is far from universal.

>Who started that

Tech companies with stuff to sell, of course.

Might be effective against humans. A typical person might see it, say "Gross, an AI slop image" and scroll on past.

Yes, but a chair is practical. I'd say that an artistic chair you can't sit in is no chair at all, but merely a chair shaped object. Most art exhibitions do not allow me to test my theory in practice, so I am left wondering.

Depends if you thought Twitter ever had any value at all ever. I once made an account, hung around for 2 weeks,then never opened it again. So since musk owns it, it has no more or less than relevance than before.

They are a party trick, provided the party is software development. If your job does not have you sit behind a computer all day, their utility is minimal.

Inflation calculator puts that 1k at a value of 1.95k today. Seems like a lousy 26 year investment. I guess it's better than putting it under your matress.

Surely a properly done con job includes convincing the conned that they haven't been conned?

I think if an AI tricks us, it'll be a while before we find out. I don't know if this sort of thing is likely, but maybe an AI currently conning me has surreptitiously convinced me it isn't.

Exceptional irony in that somewhere within that church might be printed the line "and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who tresspass against us". Probably within some book that isn't very important.

Perhaps you have not experienced the thrill of unloading a pallet of concrete bags. It exists just between the range where it is too big a job for a couple bags in your car, but not big enough to get a truck.

Unfortunately the democratically elected part is mostly true.

No that would be irony. Use up all the chip foundries and power plants to make more plans for chip foundries and power plants so we can build more chip foundries and power plants and use them to run AI to design more chip foundries and power plants.
