Church founder Anthony Levandowski believes that AI chatbots will soon be so powerful they will essentially be gods And the AI said, "Let x= 01101100 01101001 01100111 01101000 01110100"

Seriously? As we didn't have enough with people thinking they are gods... Now chatbots are going to be taken as gods too?

Oh but think about it, a god that can be trained to give you the answer you want.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Didn't we have an article explaining how any toddler can beat modern AI at even basic tasks? 
..but yes; children are Gods and our future, and the ones that will impact the world more than chatting with Eliza or praying ever will. Treat them kind and with respect.

Name me one thing that has more impact on the future than how a child is raised? Outside the Manhattan project ofcourse?

How a single child is raised matters very little. How children as a group are raised molds the future.

The invention of fire. The invention of the Scientific Method. The abolition of slavery. Universal suffrage.

I'm not an influencer, not on X, not on FB, no social media at all.

Those take groups with a conviction; IIRC, then the US fought a bloody war about slavery. Those are mass-movements. Still, I will focus on the one child that I have almost no influence on; because I have no influence on the group at all.
Yet, that is where my prayers go - not to AI or a God. But to one that might change the world, like a butterfly sometimes does.

..and then you pray to an AI or some idiot in the sky?
Now, looking at the woke and broke generation of American students, I agree, it would require a huge leap in faith for humanity. Or simply better and cheaper education.

what kind of ceremony? Is this related with the item above?
Do we need to offer a chicken or a pig? Or are we allowed to use a politician or a lawyer?

Nvidia is facing legal action in the US for theft of trade secrets from a German automotive company, which alleges its ex-employee made an epic blunder of showing something he shouldn't have when minimizing a Powerpoint slide at a joint Microsoft Teams meeting both companies were attending. More proof Microsoft Teams is dangerous

In this case the one to blame is the guy (a.k.a. moron) that had opened and maximnized the proof when talking with his previous employer...

The behavior of a C++ program is defined by the C++ standard. However, it does not describe the behavior to the full extent and leaves some of it up in the air: the implementation-defined, unspecified, and undefined behavior. I thought that was C++'s middle name?

In fairness, if the C++ Standard specified the form of every possible error in a program, it would be at least twice as long as it already is.

In the time I was programming industrial lines with PLC and Robots I always said:
- Automatic sequences are the easy part. The difficult one is the home run / reset run, as the "initial" position for it will be after manual mode (a.k.a. wherever the user stops with or without thinking about it) or an error.

No manager I ever seen spent money on that; they just blame someone and move on to the next big thing.
