They do seemingly work much better than lights. I'd be in favor where it makes sense.

Yea - contrary to probably popular belief, the concept of AI is nothing new at all. Just some of the methods to implement it have changed.

Taking wife to Vegas for 3 nights. Any restaurant recommendations? Things we should do?
We have been a couple times but always have went and done nature stuff. Plan on eating and drinking. Staying at Harrahs
If you're into 80's music, there's an awesome band called the Whippits that peforms like 3-4 times a week at Carnaval Court (the circle shaped outdoor bar) between Linq and Harrah's.

You were saying.....
LAF is probably one of the cheapest. Last time I ordered I got 2 bottles for $39.99 plus $10 flat shipping, but that was with a coupon code. Without a coupon, 2 bottles is still only $10 more.

how's the flavor?
Decent. Slightly sweet with a bit of a funky aftertaste (think a much less tart margarita type flavor), but just chase it with a soda or whatever.

Has anyone tried it?
I have not had Willy's specifically, but I have ordered a cheaper brand called LAF Naked a couple times. It goes for $29.99 a bottle plus $10 flat shipping. 10MG per fluid ounce. A couple ounces and you are definitely feeling it. :cheers:

I hear POTUS is in need of a new Press Secretary. Maybe she's the gal for the job? :lol:

Not a fan.
Right... because we know the full well that the press pool is conservative and unbiased. :lol:

Even with the qualifiers above, it's still a HUGE BOOST to productivity and quality in the right people's hands. Room for lots of error? Sure. Is that going to stop people? No. Will it be the end of all humanity? I doubt it. Maybe that's the fear?
It can be in the right hands as you said. I'll give you a couple examples of things I find a bit concerning when it comes to AI.
A couple weeks ago on this very board, someone mentioned that a junior programmer (junior to them, not junior as in 1 or 2 years in the business) said he needed a couple extra days of code review before he would feel comfortable releasing the code. The poster's alleged response to that was to use Claude to write the project and then send the code to the junior developer. And he talked about it like it was a good thing that he handled the situation like that. That's an outright dick move and slap to the face of someone that is legitimately trying to do something without just relying the "magic answer box". I personally think something like that sets a horrible precedent and sends the wrong message.
Another one I heard was about a kid fresh out of college going in for his first interview. The interviewer asked the question "How comfortable are you with IDE's and working in a team setting within an IDE?" The kid's response was "I don't know what IDE even stands for, but give me Claude and I bet you'd be amazed by what I can do." The kid probably thought he nailed that answer, but I would have actually found a way to move onto the next candidate with an answer like that.

The people who "dOn'T kNoW iF AI wILl bE sUcCeSsFuL" are ill-informed non-tech people. It is nothing short of amazing. It's not perfect, but it's damn amazing.
I am a software engineer and now IT Manager that has been in the field about 25 years. I am an outspoken AI skeptic. I have myself found some legitimate use cases for AI, but I think it should be a tool, not THE tool. I do worry about people becoming too reliant on AI and neglecting their own growth and development because of it. I also don't feel a non-technical person that cannot easily recognize a hallucination, when being led down the wrong rabbit hole, or cannot independently verify AI results should be allowed to use and/or publish AI output.

People often associate federal prison with club feds, but the worst of federal prisons actually are worse than the worst state facilities.
That's largely if you're at a camp or a low level fed prison. Even then, you're still in a prison and can still get caught up in trouble. Medium and above security often have a "no hands" policy in the feds. That is if you have a beef with someone that you want to address, you either have to stab them, or you just let it go.
The way some people view him as a folk hero of sorts says alot about certain pockets of modern society.
Slow news day? :lol:
