Hear ye! Hear ye! His eminence Monsignor Dino Philosoraptor Allosaurus Esquire BS (no BS my college degree) cometh this Monday morn with this pontificating prediction.
To wit! If successful at the polls (whether by cheating or not) one fine day the Islamocrats so willingly allowed to infiltrate the Comrade Commie Democrats' men can get pregnant
jerk jackass party shall attempt a Jihad takeover at the very least with threats of violence~~such as obtaining 72 virgins by blowing yourself up in big crowds.
You know, that same Schiff that happened to Iran. Already for even here!!!

Four out-of-the-park meme themes this week, OUC! The jackass to camel on the first one could use a hammer through the crescent to depict the Marxist party wing - although I'm sure the Islamist wing will execute/enslave the Marxist wing the first chance it gets. The Sweeny set has it "covered", LOL, - buy treasuries! The Babylon Bee's take on AI, wow, didn't see THAT coming - although I'm suspecting the AI fracas is more scary hoax to replace the other scary hoaxes that are losing their scare. I did laugh at the Canada meme "Nyet" to the US but "Da" to the EU - idiot. Hey, OUC, that's you in the thick of the meme wars, LMAO! The one-hits are all good - RIP Max.

Postin Memes like a Son of a Bitch

I got a '96 Chevy Pickup for use on the property - always getting requests to borrow it and all I do is ask if they can drive a shift - its had the key in it for 20 years, and has never gone missing.....

OUG, great collection...
And one more Hat Tip to our POTUS #47...
We get Lake America.
And apparently the deal with Greenland cost us nothing, except a bunch of mean tweets!

Imagine the guys on the other side of the table.
OMG... We wanted to hold out for a big pay day... But just stop the Mean Tweets, and the Memes... Make them stop... (The deal reads, you protect it, you get final say what counties are there, and PRETEND to let us still rule the place!)

Another +1. Kolchak brought an instant smile to my face.

Somehow having a bunch of octogenarians in DC come up with legislation regulating AI creation doesn't seem like a good idea. Most of them probably don't even use any AI. My guess is that if any legislation does come out of DC, it will be created by the industry itself to lock in the top two or three companies and shut out anybody else. Then they will hand it over to Congress to enact. It just seems to me that legislation limiting liability for a company that prevents them from being liable if their product injures somebody or something is not a good idea. Not sure why they need Congress to slow down AI development when they are the ones that control the speed of it.

Most, if not all, people under 30...

Don't even DRIVE cars! Have no interest in driving.

My BROKE neighbors get door dash meals DAILY!

They have cars...

Clues... No, they don't have ONE of those.

LOL.

Here are Isaac Asimov's three laws for robots that I was aware of for years. Curious as to what the fourth one is.
The Three Laws
First Law: A robot may not injure a human or allow harm through inaction.
Second Law: A robot must obey human orders, unless they conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence, provided this doesn't conflict with the First or Second Law.

REMEMBER that people are paying to spread FUD on both sides. BIG Players want the government to step in, and regulate them for safety (Think Big Pharma all over again). This blocks the small innovators from getting to play.
Because as we've seen in banking... When the German Bank Launders $100 Billion and collects maybe $10 Billion, it faces a fine for $30 Million...
And NOBODY goes to jail.

If you are I get caught laundering money. I promise the cost will exceed the profits AND we will end up in jail.

I think Nukes are a great example. It deters extreme warring.

Personally, we aer safe until the AI has to choose... Feed people... Or more power so it can accomplish it's goals...

This speech is brilliant!

Looking up NCR proved to be historically fascinating ~~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCR_Voyix
Mention of the military 1911 .45-cal. pistol (one of many products churned out by the company) triggered memories. The gun was introduced to me by the Marines (way easy foir me to aim and hit targets) and was touted for "stopping knock down power" despite gangsters in movies shot by Thompson subguns like in The Godfather tend to dance ridiculously around while being endlessly splattered by big .45 slugs. I was a Marine supply clerk and as yet never shot anyone but I bought a 1911 shortly after I became a civilian. Kept it in my car's glove compartment (too big for concealed carry) and called it my "car cannon." Because it only shoots 7 rounds me dino traded it in at a gun store around year 2002 for a big 9mm that fires 17 shots. That pistol I call my "car blaster" because it keeps spitting shots like a Star Wars sidearm.

HAD to +1 The Night Stalker, dino! When young I used one of those ancient printing devices and had a neighbor that worked for National Cash Register (aka NCR today) repairing them.

Remember the first RX7 I designed a stereo system for, man, was it quick!!!

My Miatas' been doing that since '89 (and before that the RX7 from '78.)
Enjoy!

It wasn't an engineer.
It was probably an insurance executive in conspiracy with a corrupt politician.

My Ranger has a split bench with a fold down arm rest.

I bet you do, That 5 on the floor make women even more attractive beyond what they may be already.

I've got 6 on the floor in the Mini Cooper I bought in early summer,. . makes driving fun again!

Dino we all wish we retained more facts - but even more, we know murder when we see it and have it described. We try to forget facts when the facts presented are sooooo incredibly disingenuous.

Love this, LMAO! Got me smiling tonight!

Thanks heaps!

I agree. They do look like Donald ducks.

Do not think you will they are not as frilly as the Lexis, BMW, Mercedes and other female drivers want to be seen inside, bunch around these parts Frankly I get lots of looks with my 23-yr old Honda Accord with five on the floor!

Still looking for him - but yeah, noticed.

What a terrific observation!!!
