I Have Questions

I have questions.
1. Do they ‘prevent’ vice ‘outlaw’. If they do ‘prevent’ then how is that fucking possible? Is there some notation or code on their drivers license that demonstrates total ownership?
2. Who is counting and who is keeping score? Are the Texas Rangers going to inspect for unmentionables or does this fall under the purview of local law enforcement
3. Are they going to set up check-stations at all points of entry along Texas’ extensive state line to prevent smuggling of unregistered ‘devices’.

Inquiring minds will find the full article here.

What Condition Your Condition Is In

This explains bunches:

But, current fucked condition not withstanding, you’re going to be truly and duly fucked once self learning AI meets meets up with Willow. Willow?

Google scientists have created a new quantum processor that, in five minutes, cracked a problem that would have taken the world’s best supercomputer 10 septillion years to solve. The breakthrough will allow quantum computers to become less error-prone the bigger they get, achieving a milestone that overcomes a decades-long obstacle.

That little puppy can figure out more shit than a super computer could ponder on if it were to crunch the numbers for longer than 100 times the life of the universe.

Fucked indeed!

Catch of the Day (3+1)

Here are three new sets of electrons piled together in interesting ways. Each suffers from quasi-obvious flaws. Can you find them?  Answers posted in the comments.   Hint: it’s still not the tits.

A bonus for all the good folk in rural America: Farm Girl

Catch of the Day (3+1)

Three more strange ladies invite you to spot the errors their creator made. Can you see them? Answers posted in the comments.   Hint: it’s still not the tits.

As a bonus, and because the AI used on one Facebook site is so terrible it becomes funny, I give you ‘Farm Girl’.

His Burden

I’m pretty sure that the pause mid-stride was less about contemplation and more about filling a diaper. Such is this mans burden.

Catch of the Day

Here’s three of today’s best bad AI that I found on Facebook.  Can you spot the error(s)in the photos? Answers in the comments.  Hint: it’s never the tits.

Cosmic Background Radiation. An AI Take

So I’m reading an article on Cosmic Background Radiation and the author throws up a picture that looks pretty different that the green and blue splotch image I’m used to seeing, like this:

It looked pretty different so I checked out the caption directly below the photo. Photo and caption from a screen shot I took:

Turns out, like almost every other ‘photo’ taken of objects in our galaxy or in the friggin universe, it’s not real. While most are color added manipulations of data produced by the instruments, this, if the caption holds true, is a “purple and red shape on a black backround”.

Now I can live with that color modified data thingy, but what is being pushed our way now is the phantoms of somebodies mind or, perhaps more appropriately, some AI generated graphic that ‘it’ believes is plausible enough to pass human scrutiny. What hurts most is that the author (or automation) didn’t even care enough to generate a decent caption. My stab at creating relevant media and captions (below):

Or, you can just fall into line and believe your betters when told that the image below is an actual image of a young lady advertising for a mate on Farmers Only DotCom.

It’s all good though, it’s part of that brave new world thingy you hear everyone talking about.

Crackhead Barney

One of the early clues that your producer may be dabbling in the powder is when he books someone named Crackhead Barney, a female, for your show.

That’s one fine babe right there!

Across the Socials

This (below) final little ‘Icon of Foolishness’ is not a joke (well, it is a joke unless you held the stock). It’s something I captured in yesterday’s news and it’s a testimony to the dangers of playing any given stock in the market in the same way you’d play roulette.

Clarification

The Don has been in the news as of late over his ‘bloodbaths’ remark(s). The press, in their unrelenting efforts to keep the truth in front of us, the masses, was quick to mischaracterize. Sadly this has become standard fare.

Genesius’ quick wit is on display and, apparently it’s OK to do it but not to forewarn about it.

They’re here and always good for a laugh.

Keystone Comrades

On one hand this is absolutely hilarious . . .

. . . on the other hand it won’t be long until US forces face the same crisis in planning, leadership, and execution as the Brits now do.

Until then, here’s to our keystone comrades in arms!

Monday Monday: Sometimes It Turns Out That Way

All the news you wish you hadn’t seen/heard/read.

I’m beginning to understand why its so damn hard to close out the tunnels in Gaza. The red arrow in the photo below shows a breach entry Israel made into one of the lairs.

It’s a good thing Kennedy advertised, I’d forgotten that he existed. I don’t know who he went to for campaign advice, but the ad is (in my mind) extremely effective in pointing out the age weakness’ of both Trump and Biden. It reminds folks of Kennedy’s heritage and paints him as being cut from a completely different cloth than that of the establishment candidates. He’s toast, but he’s not bland.

I’ve spent considerable time this morning trying to figure out which of the two tight ends pictured the article below was talking about.

If you’re in Paris and everyone around you makes you think you’re in the Bangladeshi ghetto on the east side of Johannesburg SA , you may want to rethink your life choices.

In closing, Old Joe decided the best way to show you that he’s really as sharp as he’s always been was to tweet a picture proving that the lights are still on. I can’t think of a single person who thought that they’d gone out, but the question of whether anyone is still at home remains.

Colon Cleaner

I have, in the past, written a time or two about the hot sauce and salsa (among other goodies) I conjure up from veggies in the garden. I’m always on the lookout for innovative recipes that others are using/creating to see what twist(s) I can add to my stock and store. I ran across this earlier today. I thought that this was surely a joke. . . anyway it gave me a laugh.

So I did a simple search on Yahoo and two things became apparent: It’s no joke, and AI sucks at what it does.

First the no joke info. I found the guys/gals that crank this stuff out and it is indeed Professor Phardtpounders Colon Cleaner Hot Sauce – Elixir of capsaicin extremus. They have been around for years and have actually entered and took second in a hot sauce competition. They have other equally intriguing offerings:

The AI part of this post is my continuing rant on how dangerous and ridiculous (it can be both at the same time) this shit is. Here is what was pasted to the top of the search results when I went hunting for the hot sauce:

UPDATE: A short while after I posted the above I got a call on my cell phone. I guess I’m about like half of America, if I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer. The area code is/was 659 and I wondered where that was at.. . . a search on Yahoo produced the following results.

Going to church and seeing God (good times come to the chapel)
The victim was shot a shitload of times before exiting his vehicle and getting shot some shitloads more.
Color me intrigued. Her bedside manner has got to be incredibly good or tremendously bad.
I hope the kid needed a skin graph on his ass before he left the bus
He cut off the gas to the entire west side of Europe and now he is disappointed?
I’m thinking the shot was fired at close range.
I’m going to go ahead and call bull shit on this one.
