But wait, there's more! I feel the same way. Saw this as more harmful than useful.

I’m 100% going to get scammed when I’m elderly. The useful things it’s used for are great… it’s the malicious things it can be used for that makes me uncomfortable.

It'll be the end of us!!! Haven't yall seen Terminator?! Its the beginning of the end.

There's always that one guy who has to try and prove the future wrong by naming his company Skynet.

Thats true for just about everything isn't it? Guns, knives, cars, the internet. All great tools if used properly. Its malicious people that make me uncomfortable.

Oh for sure. It’s why I know it’s not going anywhere and I don’t let it consume me. I'm excited for its implementation in a lot of things. It’s awesome technology and my comment was in no way a protest against it lol. I actually would really like to see it implemented into our process at my job one day… we have a lot of issues with tuning on our systems and often times have to take manual control of things that should otherwise be left in Auto. AI could one day learn from what we do, to reduce the times we have to take manual control.

It’s just a simple fact, when I’m 70 years old, I’ll get scammed HARD by some guy in India.

I enjoy using AI to make wallpapers for my phone and helping with my RC body painting ideas

I like some of tge artwork I have seen it do.
I wonder if a human could/would do similarly.

Its when AI is released to the world and within 24 hours is looking for a race war...
Its not so much a slam against technology as a slam against ALL the ppl who made it feel that way.

I think ppl have gotten worse, not better in 10 years.

Good to know big brother is always watching. Shouldn’t be this way but that’s how it is nowadays.

Its only this way if we allow it to be.
There IS a way to fight back!!!

The data gathering, spying will always be a concern but its OUR faylt that cell phones ONLY have cameras that turn in and off when other ppl say so.
My camera lenses are well taped, VPN screaming loud...
If they want to spy, they are gonna... but I'm not gonna make it easy on them.

STOP PAYING THEM TO SPY ON YOU!!!

Only 6 out of 145 so called TLR "team" drivers at the 1/10 worlds this year. This is super sad horizon. Hunter King is the only person holding tlr together at a national level. And he isn't well known at all. Crazy. But crazy how he seeded 28/145 and Dakota phend seeded 30/145. This is 2wd tho, can't wait for the 4wd part of the worlds. That's where the fun is

On the bright side,
@CertifiedMike
Watched some parts of the live steam last night, some people are running vintage buggies also heard someone was running a brushed motor too.

@Suburban_Hooligan , they're using "real" tires. Block tires in the back and rib tires out front. Well from the photos I seen. Outdoor clayish.

Also racing in @Warby 's home!

[Mrgoodwrench35]

I walk into chaos every morning. I've learned to embrace it. Its when I walk in to calm and quiet that I get nervous

Easy fix!!!

Open the drawer you keep the hair straightener in.
Put the OTHER HAND in to grab the straightener.
Now SLAM the drawer shut on your hand and you'll forget ALL about that burn!!!

I would actually put neosporin with pain killer on it and then cold wrap it for a day or 3.

But I'm no doctor!!!

Haha! It was very mild, so nothing needed. Just a dumb mistake...that's what I get for being groggy and attempting to move quickly.

I'm glad that it wasn't anything serious!


So now for my rant...
Cologuard (sh!tbox & co.) And my ins co sent me a letter today infirming me that A healthcare provider that I've never spoken to has determined that its my time to poop in a box so my dna can be 'accidentally shared' in an 'information incident' (when they get hacked)...


OMFG!!!

1/2 hour later, customer service has sent off an email to make sure that doesn't happen again.
( sent copy to me too)

I think there are finger marks squeezed into the sides of the phone from squeezing it so hard during the call.
I didn't want to squeeze the phone but I sure as HELL want to choke SOMEONE!!!!

SERIOUSLY???!!! My insurance co is selling off MY health care records WITHOUT SAY SO FROM ME to the highest bidding Dr and sh!tbox dealer???!!!


OH HELL NO!!!
