If they didn't want birds flocking to their cameras, they shouldn't have called them Flock.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, collision avoidance manoeuvres cost propellant. A satellite can only carry a small amount of propellant. More manoeuvres cost more propellant. Nobody is refuelling satellites in orbit.

I'm sure it will be fine.

"Lady Liberty" appears to be advancing upon enemy lines, wielding her torch as a weapon, and her book appears to have turned into a shield.
Meanwhile, those eagles upon the "stonework" look very historical. Circa Germany, early 1940s.

@Nonilex

So, his decision to wage war, and his erratic conduct tarnished his image?

Surely his starring role in the Epstein Files did the tarnishing?

Or being an adjudicated rapist?

Or his 34 felony convictions for fraud?

His insurrection?

His pardons for his insurrectionists?

You know he's selling pardons?

His image was already as tarnished as a Reflecting Pool full of algae.

Can you tell us why you're cancelling #Microsoft ?

I did not ask for AI. I do not want AI. Yet you are forcing it on me. I am a writer. I do not give you permission to steal my work and use it to generate AI slop. I do not give you permission to shove your unwanted AI in my face. And I absolutely refuse to pay extra so you can contaminate my work with your AI.

@steter

Shouldn't the (so-far fictional) profits of AI be redistributed to the writers, artists, photographers, etc whose work they stole to stuff into their stochastic errorist machines in the first place?

There is a quote I've seen online:

There are fascinating little differences between Americans and Australians.

Americans get terribly offended by the word cunt.

Australians get terribly offended by schoolchildren being slaughtered by people with assault rifles.

@chu

@MelissaBearTrix might be able to answer this.

Powered by hallucinating slop machines that gobble up power and water, they will be used to replace workers who then can't afford to eat, never mind buy those "rebellion-free slaves" that can be targeted by hackers.

What could go wrong?

@cstross

As someone who grew up reading Asimov's robot books, I never thought we'd be on a timeline where the First Law of Robotics would be:

A robot may not injure our company's profits, or, through inaction, allow our company's profits to come to harm.

HOW DARE HE OWN A MACHINE GUN, SAYS ONLY NATION THAT CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEES THE RIGHT TO OWN MACHINE GUNS.

"Stay in the fight"?

They were trying to "stay alive".

Because English is not a language, it's thirteen languages in a trenchcoat.
