Agent Smith in The Matrix (1999)

🤮

Don't give Gwyneth Paltrow any ideas.

“I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you're not actually mammals.

Every mammal on this planet instictively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?

A virus.

Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague.

And we… are the cure.”

The printed picture of the guy casts shadows like it's 3D. It keeps messing with my head I think.

But really there's a lot of very cool stuff in this picture, with the toy and the printed version matching, but not quite, and the plastic packaging. Neat.

Good point! If vehicles are communicating like that, which I've always thought would be the ultimate for efficiency, you'd have to protect against poison pills. That would be even more difficult with disparate systems cooperating.

Reminds me of the car "chase" scene in I, Robot.

I wonder if this could be a step in the direction of forcing manufacturers to allow custom/open source/audited software in all vehicles. If it can be done in some foreign-made vehicles, it can be done in domestically made ones too.

Also note that it says "connected and autonomous vehicles". If that means two categories, "connected vehicles" and "autonomous vehicles", it could be quite broadly applied to vehicles that download updates over the air. If it means "autonomous vehicles that are connected" it could be somewhat narrow and an easy work around is to leave the autonomous vehicles disconnected from the internet. I'm not sure how much self-driving abilities are run on servers?

Top level comment is talking about using it for learning. Saying that AI is just regurgitating text doesn't address that fact at all. In fact it sounds like you were putting down the commentor for using it for learning.

The bulk of your comment was about how poorly it writes code which isn't what that comment was talking about. At all. So yes, I agree, you should have separated your two thoughts and probably focused the second thought on a different thread within this post. Perhaps at the top level to say it to the OP.

That isn't what the comment you replied to was talking about so that's why you're getting downvoted even though some of what you said is right.

I'm not saying biometrics should replace all usernames. I'm saying that they should be used as usernames/identification at best.

What if you want to have more than one account with a provider, but you have only one face?

Are you serious or are you being pedantic and trolling? That doesn't change my point, your face shouldn't be the password to both accounts. It's pretty easy to add another step for multiple accounts.
