Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.

Last Place Comics is always equal parts entertaining and causing existential (or cosmic) dread (to me).

Who’s the pregnant virgin?

Japanese budhist monks use black for their clothes as it simbolizes purity, or as black being the most pure color. In very few instances, they may wear purple or gold, but that’s due status and a latter addition.

In a funeral, only the deceased would wear white, I don’t remember why though, but for a while wearing white was in bad taste.

Wearing all black is also common for the Catholic clergy, and for a long time most brides used black for their wedding dress: https://kentuckykindredgenealogy.com/2014/12/13/history-of-the-black-wedding-dress/

That’s why the “hustling culture” is so important and prevalent in our society right now.
Everyone “knows” someone that made bank with either youtube, selling some pyramid-scheme product, bitcoins, some collectibles, craft beer, lottery… you name it.

Social media (and before that was TV) is selling us the idea that there’s a shortcut to becoming rich, you just need to find it, hustle, and you will become one of the rich persons.

That’s also why there’s so much cult of wealth and billionaires.

That said, a large portion of Millennials and after them have a rather negative view of billionaires and are rather skeptical of becoming rich, or even becoming home owners.

Not sure why you’ve got downvoted, but that’s the reason why all Baltic states had such a reaction when the invasion started.

That said, I would say that most of those states are highly socialistic despite having pretty much allergy to anything red and while preferring a capitalist system that doesn’t mean they want or support billionaires.

I would advice anyone to watch the first episode entirely, the first twenty minutes almost made me stop and I’m glad I didn’t.

What’s the drink size like?

The mac address can also tell you the hardware vendor.

But haven’t you heard? This is affecting yatch money, eh I mean the economy.

If you have something to hide…

Weren’t the 70s worse than the 80s? I mean around 1975 when the city ran out of money.

Was there any chance for being against the war on terror or the government? Sincerely for like 10 years I felt you could easily get suckerpunched for just seeming hesitant about Iraq’s invasion or saying something negative about America’s Mayor.

As always when someone looks for gold, sell them the shovel.

It’s not related to the technology, is the venture industry trying tp figure out the next unicorn, which they have been trying to find for the last ten years.
