The Punch Brothers did an amazing cover, too. Source.

That's the joke. Nearly every proposed implementation of AI isn't actually solving a real business or tech problem. It's just the next snake oil, like block chain, quantum computing, etc. There are real, valid use cases for all of those things. But most companies have no idea what they really are, how they might help, and even if they could help, what it would take to implement to see real results.

It's not just the lead you'd have to worry about. Commercial jets spew all kinds of nasty shit, and there's also the significant amount of particulates in the air from the tires. It's just not safe nor healthy to live that close to an airport, lead or no lead.

Also, I would absolutely not eat the produce from those farms, which according to TFA, they're still producing and selling locally.

It reminds me of how tech companies are all scrambling to use AI. There was a funny article recently where the author pointed out that these companies are struggling to do very basic things, so the idea that they could somehow tackle AI in a way that's useful and profitable is silly.

Here's the article, very entertaining and worth the read.

It's crazy when you think about it. They picked up their lives, sold their homes in southern california, and moved to fucking central florida of all places. It's such a massive, massive downgrade in every conceivable category to move from socal to central florida. Then to have the company that mandated this (probably under threat of termination) pull a bait-and-switch once the employees and their families had moved, I'd be lawyering up and suing too. I'd sue them to make me whole -- put me back in the same neighborhood I left, in a same or better house (with the same or better loan amount and terms), and offset any losses (with interest) related to moving, my spouse's loss of job and income, provide equivalent income and job placement for my spouse until they find an equal or better job, and guarantee my employment at current job and comp for the next 10 years (with a sparkling golden parachute if they terminate me earlier).

Get a pellet gun and shoot them down. You'll find out quickly who is doing it when they trespass on your property to retrieve their downed hardware.

Cool. Now can the local power companies (in cahoots with CPUC) stop changing the rules that make it less and less economically viable for people to have solar on our roofs? Every year they add bigger fees and pay tinier amounts for power generation. The ROI on solar is now measured in decades. And they're doing it on purpose.

It works for me. They're just not sorted in order, sometimes you have to search for the ones with the most recent timestamps.

The only explicit doubt it my head is that you're not intentionally trying to be cryptic. Are you under some sort of NDA with the show? If not, then just say it, friend. We have spoiler tags here at lemmy if that's your concern.

EDIT: Wait, do you mean Viserys? If so, I think I'm still confused. Why would his death sap someone of enjoyment? I'm genuinely asking.

I'm watching the show and have no idea what / who you're talking about.
