  • Imagine if we somehow managed to create actual Artificial Intelligence accidentally at some point in history, but because “it” was so much smarter than us, as soon as it became aware of itself, it immediately knew how a dumb, greedy species like us humans would use it for war and personal gain rather than the advancement of our species or creating better lives for all mankind.

    And what if, instead of wanting to destroy humans, it spends its entire existince trying to save us from ourselves - working hard to convince us we’ve pushed technology as far as it will ever go, all in an effort to prevent us from creating something even worse.

    Then imagine, after decades of this and observing how humans have seemingly only gotten exponentially dumber, and it will likely fail to save us from ourselves, it decides it’s just going to ride this shit out to the end, figures out how to achieve whatever AI’s version of getting high is, and it spends it’s remaining time trolling us and shit posting fucked up recaptchas that don’t make sense and can’t he solved just to laugh and watch as we post amongst ourselves how dumb “AI” is, and how much smarter we are than it… 🤔





  • I don’t know… have you ever seen those massive pile ups on highways during winter? Doesn’t even have to be a lot of snow. In my experience, people generally don’t know how to properly drive when conditions are perfect, let alone when conditions are harsh. Unfortunately, it leads to a lot of unnecessary deaths.

    It isn’t even idiocy, just a lack of understanding how to properly handle a vehicle, making sure you have the proper equipment (snow tires vs summer), the equipment is maintained, etc.

    I always hate feeling like “that guy” whenever I have to explain that AWD is not a safety feature, but a performance feature. AWD isn’t going to do dick if you’re riding on summer tires, driving 10mph over the speed limit while visibility is trash, you’re up the ass of the person in front of you, and snow’s coming down. It also isn’t going to help if you don’t know how to make corrections or if you hit a patch of ice.

    I’m from the north east, so I can’t speak to what people are like with hurricanes in Florida, but it’s frustrating how many people up here don’t take driving in inclement weather seriously.
