re: Bing AI image generator try outs
Posted by MadDogs on 10/21/23 at 6:08 pm
That is a yet to be resolved issue with all of this generative AI. Several court cases still get to be decided. It is why our company has not adopted several tools to this point. We don't want to get wrapped up in IP disputes or rather to protect our clients. ...

re: Lordstown Motors launches Endurance EV pickup truck with worst EV EPA rating ever
Posted by MadDogs on 5/30/23 at 7:43 pm
Most likely irrelevant as I would be shocked if the company is still around until next year. They are nearly out of cash and unless someone comes in and bails them out, these trucks will never be produced in mass quantity. I have friends that work there and it is a complete cluster. Their deal wi...

re: The Titans new stadium cost $2.1 billion, less than the cost of a Seawolf class sub
Posted by MadDogs on 4/20/23 at 8:50 am
This because the project got canceled during the Clinton administration and reduced from the originally planned 29 down to 3. I was in the shipyard in New London, CT when the first Seawolf was being built. This was back in 1994. Very cool tech for its time.
As others have mentioned, the reason ...
