Yeah, I'm calling BS on this one. I do technical reports sometimes for work, most recently and Ichthyoplankton assessment, and so I thought I would test to see how well AI would do and if there were portions of the data analysis I could get it to help with.

Initially it wrote me scripts in python that were supposed to parse the multiple data files and generate the tables I needed. While it processed the data, the outputs were never right, and when I would point out the error it would tell me something like I averaged some number that wasn't supposed to be averaged but couldn't explain why.

After building the excel sheet to do the calculations myself, with a couple helpful prompts from AI on formulas, i would ask it to generate numbers for the tables using the data I had already generated and it was often wrong. Not just wrong, but it would say use this number to check that your calculations are right, and I would check and it would be wrong. I would point it out and it would give some bizarre reason why it ignored the specific instructions and formulas I gave it and got the wrong result.

I use AI a lot, and it helps me be more efficient, but you absolutely need someone who understands when a result it is giving doesn't make sense. In the Ichtyo analysis if I had relied on AI it was producing an impact that was more than 10X what the correct numbers ended up being. It's like they recycled some of the computers doing climate projections for the last 20 years.
If we could get rid of the fraud we could pay a lot less in taxes, hopefully a lot of people go to jail, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
My message lists who they should contact if they can't wait for me to return, and those people have instructions to pick up the phone and call me if there is something they can't handle.

I took my work email off my phone years ago and I'm not looking at it when it's my families time. In five years it hasn't resulted in anything but positive changes for me.
We have a lot of work, so we are crushing it at my office until the 19th, then everyone is gonna be out for 2 weeks.
If you chose to worship in public you can’t expect no public comment, if guys are coming into their religious buildings and doing this it would be different.
Well that should help with the global cooling we are supposed to be worried about now. I’m guessing this will also somehow make sea levels rise.

What are the chances that the development they did in the area affected that slope and led to a landslide?
While my church gives out hundreds of thousands of meals a year, if some random person called asking for support, we aren't set up as a food pantry to distribute in situations like this. If she called our church, she would be referred to any number of organizations that we partner with that are already set up to address her specific need. If she considers that a no, then I could see where this would happen.
I hope this keeps happening.

The stereotype of the white Christian woman that pushed kids into thinking rock music was awesome to rebel is now playing out with the white liberal woman pushing kids back to conservative values.

They always say “Nazi”. I don’t think they even know what a Nazi is.


I didn't used to understand this, but then I read about post-WW1 Germany and about how Magnus Hirschfeld led a movement that saw the gay and trans movement take off. He started the institute for sexual science and performed gender reassignment surgeries as early as 1922.

The Nazis apparently raided his institute and burned all the books in the library, which is why they say we are Nazis for not wanting to have material promoting LGBTQ stuff in our kids schools and in libraries.

So are you white? Further confirmation that the Democrats are the party of the elderly.
The fact that this is going on at the same time that everyone in America (who pays for insurance) is going through open enrollment at their jobs can't be a coincidence. It seems calculated that the talking point by the administration was the cost of healthcare for illegals at exactly that time. Major miscalculation by the left.
I have BCBS-TX and my rates are going up less than 1% with our company. I wonder if your company had a lot more claims?

Employee -Family plan
$595 with HDHP Gold and company adds $1,400 to our HSA
$2K/$4K deductibles and everything but preventative is %20 after deductible.

$536 for the PPO with $3k/$6K deductible, Primary $25, Specialist $50, Urgent $75, and Emergency $250 + 20% coinsurance.

A company called el toro had the geofencing technology 10 years ago and marketing firms have been using it, it’s not something new.
So we are having them build their own facility to train their pilots on the aircraft we will sell them? If so, I’m ok with that as opposed to us paying for it.

Check out all the awesome infrastructure that China is building…oh wait.
I’m looking forward to the poorly generated AI videos of this project completed, just like all the other supposed Chinese infrastructure accomplishments.
