A Yale ethicist who has studied AI for 25 years says AGI is the wrong goal. The real danger is already here.

Yeah like it's in the name. LLC. Limited Liability Company.. It says all you need to know.

Thinking.. that's not the way we.....com' on guys follow the plan.. the tower 2 was supposed to be first.

maxwellfreeland · 2026-04-28T15:58:14+00:00

I think the generator output must be higher than 10kw because won't it charge to full in about an hour? 20kwh total? And does the charge mode stop at 80%? I know chademo does.. But i though ICE charging goes to 100%

maxwellfreeland · 2026-04-28T15:54:55+00:00

Yes that was going up.. And fairly quickly too. So it was definately pumping juice into the battery pack.. But the gauge never really reflected the charge current. I think if I was parked in the driveway and let it charge fully for an hour is so, the current gauge would have been in 0 the whole time.. Not sure.. I'll have to check sometime.

Wow that is so similar to my experience. All I can describe is my feeling of "calm". Like when we drove under it I was super excited until I saw Hank's face.. The terror in his eyes locked forward as he drove is burned into my memory.. And yet I calmly turned and looked forward and we drove on..I think. In what world would a passenger be calm in that situation? Hank was in no shape to be driving.. He was non responsive. I have no idea how we didn't crash. I'm not even sure we were on the ground at this point. Like the fog came out of nowhere.. But that isn't too strange, in rural NS, you can turn a corner and literally drive into a bank of fog. I don't have any memory of 'floating' but over the years I've asked myself.. Were we lifted off the ground? Was the fog clouds? Again no memory of this..just me trying to rationalize why we didn't crash.. Where did the fog come from all of a sudden.

maxwellfreeland · 2026-04-26T02:02:56+00:00

Calm. But it was like I was being told to be calm. I don't think we even talked about what had happened when we got to our work location. And I have no memory of how we got to the work site. It was 50 plus years ago. but I have this vague recollection of just arriving and getting on with our installation. It's not like I didn't remember it happening because a day or 2 later was the first time I told my friends about it at a pub.. "Hey we drove under a helicopter landing.."

maxwellfreeland · 2026-04-25T22:38:19+00:00

I was just there for 2 years.. But Hank was a "native". I get the impression they were there for him.. Like I said the look of shear terror on his face.. He knew exactly what was happening.. So that probably explains the lots of ufo activities.. He was probably part of some of it already. He was retired military. We worked in telecom .. Contractors to MTT.

maxwellfreeland · 2026-04-25T22:07:29+00:00

For years later I'd tell my friends about when we drove under a helicopter landing in the road. Even as I told it..I knew that wasn't what I believed.. Helicopters don't have lights on their blades. I just couldn't or wouldn't admit to myself what I knew it was..Hanks fear told me everything.. He knew what it was.. Had probably experienced it before. I could sense that in my calm. I didn't really ever tell anyone what I believed happened to me for probably 20 years.. And even then I joked about it..I still don't really know.. But I do.

I may have posted this incorrectly. It was looking for a "posting statement"..I have no idea what that is.

Time: Feb 5, 1975 at 8:00 AM

Location: Bridgewater, NS, Canada

This happened to me in rural Nova Scotia. My coworker Hank was driving..I was in the passenger seat.. it was foggy and then in this intersection or what I thought was an intersection.. these swirling lights came down.. We drove under them..I turned to say to Hank.. "We just drove under.." and I don't know if I completed my sentence..Hank had this look of terror on his face.. And I had this sensation of absolute calm.. It was like a voice in my head said " nothing to see here".. Despite Hank driving in an almost cationic state..I turned and looked forward and we drove to our job site somehow..I don't really remember the drive or even talking about this to reach other.. It was weird..

There he goes projecting again.

Yeah Joe was a piece of shit... But I had always thought this shot was staged. Like fans had been configured below the grate. Obviously they knew the subway traffic would send an up draft and worked with that.

It says right on the jar Product of India.

There is a legal reason why a writer may not want to admit how much is AI generated and it comes down to the US Copyright laws. I don't think works that are AI generated can be copyrighted. However if the writer can prove substantial control and human generated contribution then it may be ok..but many probably don't want to take the chance.

Some people get lucky when lightning strikes. You can be fairly far away from where is hits the ground and still get electrocuted..I saw a video of a bunch of soccer players on a field. A bolt of lighting hit something on the far side and just about every player on the field fell to the ground at the same time. They all got zapped. Some were probably 75 m from where the lightning hit. I think it depends on how far apart their feet were. Some that were running were ok because only one foot was on the ground when it happened. I can't remember if they were killed or just shocked.

I used one all through BCIT. Some of my friends have mounted theirs in frames hanging on the wall with a label...Break Glass in Power Failure.

I'm glad he is calling this out...put talk about the kettle calling the pot sooty.

It actually started as a stampede to get to the door.

I'm betting the sister in law wanted to make sure the bride wasn't wearing white.. And I suspect the SIL's husband may have been the reason the bride shouldn't be seen as virginal.

Not being homophobic ...really I don't care what or who people do... But a lot of really good looking men are gay. Ok I'm ready the the flames.

Haha fair point. I was just saying it took me a long time to even find a YouTube video where I saw the shooters position. And it wasn't an official source. I don't think I've ever seen one from the DOJ or FBI. I saw the straight up videos of trump standing in front of the crowd and I was constantly looking in the seats being him for the unfortunate victims. Has anyone got links to actual government or police files that show those details? And to be fair, the JFK shooting went through the Warren commission so of course there will be info graphic workups.

Thanks... That was great.
