I just wish the people writing news stories about AI knew something about what AI actually is.

Well if the AI was really so great, it'd write the news story explaining itself.

I don't think I've read a single good news story about an AI replacing human decision-making.

I think that bot who aped this Twitter comic (wynn... Right ?) was pretty on the level of its human model.

While the IRS says checks sent to jail inmates also should be returned, the sheer number of jails and detention centers across the U.S. makes it difficult to tell if many are following those instructions.

I'd pay admission to watch Nintex work in one of those.  I'd even eat a Stroopwafel and make faces while I did it.

Maybe not the most obvious fit but I'd rather not mix real news with the mud in other threads he could be posted into :

Ellen Pao, former CEO Reddit, say Ghislaine Maxwell was invited to a Silicon Valley party despite her alleged trafficking of underage girls being common knowledge among guests and organisers.

I guess it's another dime for the "everyone knew" pile.

Just saw that in June the average detached house in Toronto (includes the old suburbs of Etobicoke, East York, North York, Scarborough) sold for an average price of $1,523,770, +14.3% YoY.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/minimum-wage-workers-cannot-afford-rent-in-any-us-state.html

"The report, released Tuesday, defines "affordable" as spending no more than 30% of monthly income on rent"

Using that criteria and a two bedroom rental (per the article and report), the minimum wage in Toronto would need to be $56.25, which would be tough as the average hourly wage in Canada (can't find Toronto data) is $27.26.

Walmart Canada will start charging a set of new fees to its suppliers as a way to recover some of the costs associated with its $3.5-billion modernization plan — a move that has some manufacturers “absolutely furious,” according to an industry rep.

In a letter to its more than 3,000 suppliers on Friday afternoon, Walmart characterized the new fees — up to 6.25 per cent of the cost of goods — as a reasonable trade-off, since the multi-billion-dollar upgrades to stores and e-commerce will lead to sales growth for suppliers.

Wait...to fight systemic racism, she made her new title LEO?

Does this mean chefs also need to get a title change? It would be funny to go to a haute cuisine restaurant and ask for the Cook's Special.

Perfect allegory of why identity politics are a dumb farce instead of an actual problem solver.

I don't think that really is the same as identity politics proper, I think that's an example of the business class trying to adjust to a new cultural landscape - like it's always done. The political changes themselves are consequential. anyway you're yuropeon so opinion automatically discredited

Lamborghini has just unveiled a new supercar, known as the Essenza SCV12, that owners won't be able to legally drive on public roads. That's why, if you buy one, Lamborghini recommends you let the company keep it for you in a special garage at the company's headquarters in Italy.

Owners will have access to a secure web cam feed so they can look at the car whenever they want. If they want to drive the car, Lamborghini will arrange for it to be transported to almost any racetrack in the world and the owner will be able to drive it there. Lamborghini will also provide a professional racecar driver to provide coaching in how to get the most speed and enjoyment from their V12-powered supercar. The company will host a few special events throughout the year to let Essenza SCV12 owners get together and enjoy their cars as a group.
