@babe I remember an interview with a TV writer of cop shows where they said "we have research showing that the main thing the audience wants is to figure out the mystery before the main characters do, because that makes them feel smart, so we go out of our way to make that possible," and once you hear that the leaden pace of every cop show plot suddenly clicks into place

The 'godfather of AI' says the government will have to establish UBI to deal with the impact of AI on inequality.
"I was consulted by people in Downing Street and I advised them that universal basic income was a good idea."
—Geoffrey Hinton
He thinks that AI will increase productivity and wealth, but that the money will go to the rich and not the people whose jobs get lost and that’s "going to be very bad for society."

It turns out that you can tell how old a dolphin is from its poo. Which sounds great, but I do wonder about the patience and skill required to be in the right place at the right time to collect the poo in the first place. And what if the dolphins like you and want to play with you rather than poo on you?

@chloeraccoon @patterfloof @DreadShips Aside: Do note that if you casually watch lockpickinglawyer near your three-year-old daughter figuring she won't pay attention to it as it's way over her head, you are soon to find you have made a grievous error that will haunt you for the rest of your days.
The stories about my wife's brother and his little girls have been delightful. He deserves everything he gets...
PS: Sister #2 (now 3 years old) has learned to use a screwdriver and has been wreaking havoc. Dad has still not learned his lesson.

@patterfloof @DreadShips Didn't the lockpickinglawyer find a smart lock where you could just unscrew the front, and press a reset button, with the company's "defence" of the design being "we don't expect people to carry screwdrivers"?
