Me trying to get this costume on my cat would result in immense bloodshed. Ragdolls man, they just go along with anything.

With jam in?

I’d imagine that video of the German politician licking a toilet had a more positive impact

Round trip that can make changes? Probably a few hundred or even thousand years ago, so I could give them modern technology, information about climate change, try to educate people on social issues, etc

What tech would you take back if you could though?

I had a nightmare that a video of me accidentally bumping into a woman and knocking her out of her wheelchair went viral, turning me into a social pariah. I lost my job, my family abandoned me and I got hounded by people everywhere I went. It was one of the few times I remembered a dream very vividly and was genuinely releived when I woke up and realised it wasn’t real. Don’t know where the hell that came from.

Could it be that being forced to be in the same place and do the same thing for 8 hours a day is bad for you regardless of what that thing is and how you do it?

In Wales road signs are printed in both English and Welsh. When a new sign was being made someone sent the English part to a translator, who’s out of office message was in Welsh. They assumed that message was the translation and printed it on the sign.

Not a translation error but the worst tattoo I ever saw on someone was a guy with a bloody tampon tramp stamp.

Maybe I should get help for my porn addiction. As soon as I saw “pitjob” I immediately searched hoping to find something I hadn’t seen before

COL?

Not from a bar but I got drunk as a teenager and brought a pair of skis I found back to my Mum’s house. My old room was used as a store room when I moved out and they were in there for like 15 years. I helped clear it out, asked where the hell these skis came from and was reminded of the drunken find I’d totally forgotten.

My friend had a minor head injury and his doctor advised him to wear a full face helmet whilst riding his bicycle. The cops pulled him over and he had to show them the note the doctor had written about it. I guess the concern is that if your face is obscured they can’t track you down if you commit a crime? Still seems pretty dumb to me.

But those children will have their education and esrly healthcare paid for by the people they eventually pay for the retirement and healthcare of

Never doubt the power of a nerds desire to dunk on other nerds

Agility robots can mostly be assembled by humans wielding screwdrivers and other hand tools.

How long do you think until their robots are building other robots?

As did I

But he wasn’t arrested for it until after all of them

Maybe. But I have a feeling it’ll be a dumb single mistake that’ll make someone say “ah, shit” just before we’re wiped out.

When the Soviets trained anti-tank dogs in WW2 they did so on tanks that weren’t running to save fuel: “Their deployment revealed some serious problems… In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog

History is littered with these kinds of mistakes. It would only take one military AI with access to autonomous weapons to have a similar issue in it’s training data to potentially kill us all.

Possible or not I don’t think we’ll get to the point of AGI. I’m pretty sure at some point someone will do something monumentally stupid with AI that will wipe out humanity.

Threaten them with increased taxes if they don’t. So, any taxes.
