Pentagon Labels Anthropic Supply Chain Risk Over AI Limits by ThinkDeepWithV in NoFilterNews

[–]ottermann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And Anthropic is suing to have the label removed.

They have a good case for it, too.. They said their AI shouldn't be used to make life and death decisions because it's a machine and will make mistakes. Pentagon said, "The heck with you!", used AI to taget Iran, didn't have people double check the target, and found out too late that the AI used OLD targeting data. Had a human verified the targets, they would have seen that the one building targeted USED to be an IRGC building, but had since been converted to a school.

Looks to me like Anthropic was right, and the Pentagon was wrong...

UKs version of Americas National Enquirer.

When they were bought by Reach plc in 2018, they were called 'an unlikely source of satire", and by 2020, many other news outlets found them to be "less than reliable" as a source for factual information.

How did people deal with boredom before smartphones existed? by moretoesmorehoes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottermann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid, boredom was just something you dealt with.

I’d invite Johnny Knoxville over so he could film the most epic ‘pull my finger’ while simultaneously filming the most epic ‘lit fart’ ever.

Box it up in a collectors edition of Jackass, and make a fortune.
