Former Japanese PM: Japan should redefine its position and role in Asia instead of aligning with the US – World byteseu.com/967823/ #Japan


sigh.

TheConversation: People who aren’t legal experts are more willing to rely on legal advice provided by ChatGPT than by real lawyers – at least, when they don’t know which of the two provided the advice. That’s the key finding of our new research, which highlights some important concerns about the way the public increasingly relies on AI-generated content. We also found the public has at least some ability to identify whether the advice came from ChatGPT or a human lawyer.

I have found significant blind trust in AI by people I know (who will admit to using AI). The reason is these folks judge trustworthiness by CONFIDENCE LEVEL. The AI is ALWAYS VERY CONFIDENT, so they believe the AI. (also... that's how the US got into this fascist mess, IMHO... that, and our unfortunate racism).
in reply to AI6YR Ben

@ai6yr ah. maybe that's why I'm so resistant to it. I don't trust people that are always confident. lol.

This has got to be satire, or Graham’s account has been hacked. Even they can’t be this stupid, can they? Didn’t they attack Biden relentlessly for being Catholic?

A week and a half in and my "rubber tramp" setup is working well. I'm cooking meals pretty much like I cook at home. I'm very comfortable sleeping in the back of my truck. Cheap living while I look for a small lot to buy in Bluff, Utah! Oh, and I might add, the 200 watts of solar charges up my 1200W 614Wh Percon E600 in only a couple of hours.

They managed to win a world series back in 2005, but since then its been one boondoggle after another. I think they are about on par with a triple A team maybe at this point. Kind of makes we wish MLB had some sort of relegation / promotion system like they have over in Europe...


Okay, fine, decided to buy something in case of tariff/supply chain issues. Found the popcorn popper, so I ordered some green coffee beans that I will attempt to learn how to roast 😉

I seen something like that once.

Pushing kiddo in jog stroller about Berkeley, we come across fellow on apartment stoop with a popcorn air popper.

"Huh! What is that? Can we watch?

Maybe a snout extension on top, and some green coffee beans to roast. Seemed to work!

My father in law has been roasting green beans in a popcorn popper for several years. Has gone through several machines! He keeps the popper on a switch (extension cord?) so he can somewhat “control” the heat. He roasts my decaf super light!

Steal $3 billion from your customers, you are a GOP star.

Via Robert Reich:
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

Tidied the kitchen, then had a go at adding diffuse materials.

Now you may be wondering... what's up with the repeating pattern? Well, believe it or not that's intentional, and hopefully in a couple of steps you'll see why.





KTOO: Alaska could lose a beloved climate communicator if NOAA cuts happen

"One of Alaska’s most prolific climate communicators could lose his job if the Trump administration’s proposed cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration go through.

The Trump administration laid out a plan to slash NOAA’s budget in a memo leaked this month. The draft cuts would eliminate several research institutes the agency funds in Alaska, including the Fairbanks-based Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy, or ACCAP.

That’s where Rick Thoman works. He’s a climate specialist who is known as the state’s go-to source for weather information. He hosts weekly radio spots for communities across the state and writes a blog covering timely topics like extreme weather, seasonal outlooks and ice conditions...."

(yes... that would be @AlaskaWx )
