Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:

A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others’ feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others’ feelings

He is 100% a shit bag.

And I also believe that when the reporter asked if he denounced the bomb threats, Trump didn’t know what “denounce” means.

I’ve had my current mower about 14-years.

I don’t think I’ve ever changed the oil.

Sooooo…the next update to AI is sociopathy:

Because AIs don’t share common human values like fairness or justice — they’re just focused on the goal they’re given — they might go about achieving their goal in a way humans would find horrifying.

Brilliant, ol’ sport! There’s a mallet and horse waiting for you at West Egg this weekend—I simply won’t take no for an answer.

Crap, I left my $199 yearly subscription info inside my butler’s Lamborghini. Could your personal valet sky-write your login credentials for nature.com above my Tuscan estate? Specifically, above the Eastern alpaca pens—this Murano glass monocle of mine isn’t a bi-focal. Cheers.

Just seemed like he was “done” with the interview and used the introduced topic of assassination/security as a way to force an exit.

I don’t think anything has changed for him.

He’s an old man, I thought it was “Social Security”.

Clearly, all those brand new Mercedes-Benz drivers are regretting not opting for the used 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe they could have had. Live and learn…

That was an entertaining podcast, thanks!

NBC has a show called “The Nightly News”, and from 2017-2021 the writing was completely insane and the main characters were basically cartoonish villains, but it was hard not to watch. There were tons of other viewers and an ungodly number of fan sites online to discuss the various sub-plots and characters.

By early 2020, one of the 2019 sub-plots went completely viral and millions of people didn’t even leave their houses.

In late 2020, one of the main characters was voted off the show and it became a whole “thing”. The writers, ultimately, didn’t really remove the character—just minimized him to a series of courtroom B-stories, and the occasional fan-service appearance.

The show is still on, but I think it must have different show runners these days.

This is to be served with a speculum, is it not?

And wedding ceremonies continue to get weirder and weirder.

In the cropped version of the headline photo, I definitely missed something…

The base already uses a coal/oil plant for 33 megawatts of power. The micro nuclear reactor would augment 5 megawatts to start, with expectations to expand once up and running.

Bummer.
