Yeah, I'm looking into insulating my 100+ year old house, and it might mean the stones on the base need to be flattened and covered up. The windows and some of the doors are now plastic, since the previous ones (that were already not the original) were water damaged, which somehow involved the indoor doors too.

Time traveler: Moves a chair

The resulting timeline: PHP is dead for good. However, after some vibe coding caused massive errors in the ADSF framework (that replaced PHP), people are running to vibecode a fix, only to that cause another issue.

The medical usage of AI was shut down, because tech bros think singularity is 6 months away, then the LLM will turn into Robbie Robot from the hit cartoon series The Adventures of Robbie Robot, and starts curing cancer.

AI in most movies: Evil killing robot.

AI in reality: Evil robot that convinces others to kill, also makes bad "art" en masse that it hurts artists' visibility, also makes subpar code en masse that it hurts open source projects' visibility, not to mention it melts your brain.

(When will the first slasher movie come out, that features a troubled person getting addicted to a chatbot, which turns them into a serial killer?)

Anthropic’s proposed AI safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1 billion in damages are on the line

This reminds me of both the Ford Pinto recall story, and all the Ayn Rand nonsense adventure novels.

A sensible AI safety bill would be like:

The person or organization outsourcing the work to AI is responsible for the damages it causes, including death, injuries, wrongful arrests, financial damages, and discriminatory practices. In case of the AI vendors advertising the models as "infallible", perfect, then they can be also held responsible for the damages.

But techbros don't believe in responsibility, or it is only for the plebs, towards them.
