@publius Is it possible to short across the battery terminals with a wire? I know it doesn't really solve the mystery, but it could fix one issue at least.

@putmyspellonyou I wonder how Robert Anton Wilson would feel if he heard that they had to rescue one of his manuscripts from the Harvard archives to publish it. 😀

@rek2 Just wanted to let you know that I picked up the first volume of the POC||GTFO printed books based on your recommendation on Gemini! I can't believe I hadn't seen these around before somewhere. I checked out a few issues online and they definitely seem like something I'd enjoy having in book form.

@onan It's true! I took a course in Islamic Law as a university elective one summer, and learned all sorts of interesting things like this.Charging interest was a sin in Christianity too for most of its existence, but look how much that matters to any of them now.

@onan Sun Ra was one of the greats, no doubt about it! A true original.

@onan I kept waiting for him to commit a crime while I was watching the video. C'mon man, get to it!

@Twisted666 I feel like if I said that to them they'd start thinking that ChatGPT was watching their show.Which I guess could be appealing, that AI has got to have a ton of cash available for tips at this point.

@PopeASDF @Twisted666 I'd like to point out that *all* of Texas's cities were sufficiently "weird" that the state government recently tried to take away the cities' legal right to self-govern.Texas is a strange place, but most of the time not in a good way.

@onan I think that even if AGI arrived tomorrow, the actual replacement of people doing *physical* work is going to take a long time, longer than my lifetime. The amount of time involved in producing machines to replace all of the lifting, loading, cleaning, etc that humans do now will take an eternity. True security is in jobs where you do something with your hands and aren't paid too much.Those guys in the article though, working in economics and finance? Yeah, they're screwed next week.

@onan Producing those exoskeletons would take time and resources, and honestly wouldn't be worth the effort. AGI will be smart, smarter than us, and optimal usage of resources is part of that package.We'll either be completely replaced by automation directly controlled by AI, or we'll be trundling away for a couple of bucks from our AI rather than human overlords for the quite some time, probably some combination.It's those people who use their brains to work that are really in trouble!
