It looks tornado proof. Can we change the name to “the ministry of meteorology “

I see the placard for the elf gives credit to Netronics, but that appears to be a home brew elf from the magazine article. Netronics produced the ELF II with a factory made PCB

I was looking into the Hallock Clock company and apparently they put their face on clocks from International Time Recorder company, which spun off into a little outfit known as IBM.

Yeah it’s too much force, I have an uncle who used to work with it, I’ll get in touch with him before I try any more.

Thanks, I was 15 when I built it, heavily influenced by the Mits Altair 680 which I couldn’t afford

It has a locking glass door to keep stray hands out. I’ve tried pushing on the minute hand but it was more force than I was comfortable with.

I have this old punch clock from my dad’s business, still works great but I’m not sure how to set the time. Force the minute hand around?

You don’t actually believe your coffee maker has emotions do you? Personifying inanimate objects is being silly, ment as a joke. Anthropomorphizing AI is delusion, or more cynically psychosis.

Just saw a Meta AI ad and the theme song they chose was David Bowie Five Years. It’s all just a doomsday cult.

I don’t see why you couldn’t file a complaint against the companies now. If I put my car in drive and sent it down the road, I think I’d be in some trouble!

Absolutely, the AI will destroy the world is a marketing pitch. So is the OUR AI ESCAPED! They want us to believe it’s so powerful that we have to give them all the money and all the energy. But all we have to do to defend ourselves is turn off the gas valve on their illegal generators.

Some of the comments from the CEO’s promoting their AI would lead you to believe that once the model is trained on the data, they have no more use for it. They are not diverse in their methods.

It’s hard to get by on 900 billion these days, inflation and all, besides those scientists will just squander it all on mice.

If I take a copyrighted work, encode it in a cypher, decode it to text, am I free to sell the decoded work as my own? The LLM is not learning it’s transforming someone else’s work.

Along with the deadly salads, they seem to underreport air quality too.

“In December, the United Nations warned that AI could deepen inequality between nations, with wealthier economies reaping early gains, while poorer countries risk being left behind.” What exactly are these gains? Show us a single example.
