I’ve met border collies capable of doing multiplication and spelling their name. I’ve also met bulldogs who struggled not to drown themselves in their water dish. There’s a massive variation in how smart dogs can be and its certainly higher than an infant.

Entirely depends on the breed and their upbringing.

They could also use geothermal for significantly cheaper and environmentally friendly long term climate control but they don’t want to pay the up front construction costs.

Much of which can be used in hospitals for life saving medical uses! Double dunk on AI failures.

You can probably name every major nuclear accident or incident that’s ever happened. Not because they were all major catastrophes that caused mass loss of life. But because they happen so infrequently and blown out of proportion.

Fukashima was the worst accident in the last 30 years with 0 fatalities. In the US alone over 100 people died due to wind turbines from things like falling ice or structural integrity failure. None of those people worked on turbines and happened to be bystanders to the incident.

Things like fossil fuels have thousands of deaths. But you’re trying to say nuclear is dangerous?

The 20+ year time to build is at best the direct result of lobbying and NIMBY and realistically just propoganda by antinuclear. The US mean for nuclear construction to production is 8 years. Japan has it down to under 5.

Because of all the red tape and overzealous safety regulations slapped on it because of fossil fuel lobbying. The fact that it can be profitable or exist at all today despite having a boot on its neck for the last 60+ years says a lot about its viability.

Same reason we don’t have wind powered cars.

Honestly those people are proven right every time there’s a data breach or service goes down for no discernable reason.

Completely frustrated when millions of people had numerous reasons to vote against him, but simply didn’t.

Technology isn’t there yet and frankly the overlap between people who want to drive supersized pickup trucks and the people who want to drive electric vehicles is so small you’d think the sliver is just the margin of error.

China would not tolerate Taiwan even talking about nuclear weapons being based on the island. They don’t even like North Korea having nuclear capabilities, such as they are.

Hey if you think I’m an AI, can I interest you in a subscription plan to read barely filtered bullshit for the low low price one 9.95 USD a month?

I just have a background in USAF and had to sanitize a lot of emails to tell an E-7 or O-3 to politely fuck off because their orders and directives clashed with standing orders from an O-7 or above. Always a fun time when the first shirt pulls you into his office unofficially to compliment how well you phrased it but also veil threats about the extra duty I’d be pulling if I indirectly told him to pound sand between the lines again.

As for the whole LLM thing… To be fair reddit was a massive free info source most LLMs used to develop their database to make their bots and communicate like humans and not a command prompt.

Let’s be real, she would dig that body up, put on a strap on and peg the corpse if she thought it’d make her more popular with his fragile white man baby audience.

He already did spew shit everywhere from his bloated ego. He got paid to do it in his podcast.

Given the info in your original post and that, I’d wager one of three scenarios.

A) Most Likely: Your supervisor is just using an AI chatbot to handle day to day stuff and possibly checking in on you and others every so often to ensure work is being done and things aren’t being derailed. Could only speculate why they would do this, either being lazy or having a lot of other tasks so automating where they can lets them spend more time on more important things, to them at least.

B) Less likely: Your supervisor is just a very eccentric and formulaic person who functions on a near identical schedule as your own in terms of sleep and activity, possibly being made supervisor of the team because of their talent and HR/Management wanting them to train up more so they don’t everything and thus become irreplaceable should they take a vacation or otherwise unable to work more. Plausible in a tech/developer field though extremely unlikely, as this kind of person is exactly who’d I’d expect to setup an AI client to interact with their team and save them time.

C) Unlikely but possible: Your supervisor is entirely an AI. Financially doesn’t make sense to have multiple person team being overseen by a bot that could possibly complete all the work on it’s own and would only need someone to monitor it’s output for consistency and function. Hiring multiple people to take orders from a chatbot seems a hilarious waste of resources if your field is not entirely testing products someone else created.

Have you ever seen him talk?

Fascists only get off when they are fucking someone over maliciously.

Military grade is moniker placed on different types of gear and equipment to denote it was ‘militarized’ for use in service, or so the idea.

For most equipment, this means it was ruggedized, or in more laymen terms extra layers of plastic, rubber or some inexpensive material to make the item more resistant to shocks, drops or other potential trauma one might expect when used by soldiers in potentially hostile environments. The catch is the companies that produce these militarized equipment sell them for 5-10x more than what they should cost.

In the civilian world, people think military grade means top spec, latest and greatest. In the military world, military grade usually means it’s tough but it’s also a decade or more behind in tech and performance with very few exceptions. So if someone is trying to sell you military grade goods or worse, surplus, it’s guaranteed to be overpriced crap that at best is going to survive a few more bumps than what a normal, civilian version could.

Wrap it in silicon, plastic and duct tape and charge 10x the price.
