The Lynx browser is much safer, as everyone knows. Never clicked the wrong link there

Odd. On my installation, Edge scrolls pdfs vertically

Nooooooo. I can't have that; I don't want Mrs Yoda to draw what I look at. She already thinks I have enough guitars. How's it going to help me if the AI kicks in and suddenly starts drawing that custom LP that I just happened to "glance" at the specs for 3 hours?

Never mind AI - good old fashioned NI (natural intelligence) - has already learnt to ignore anything in the Daily Mail.

Not 100% crap.
The melting of floating ice (e.g. over the North Pole) would, of course, have no effect on the sea level or on the sea floor. The melting of ice in Greenland or on Antarctica would raise the sea level, and could conceivably have some effect on the sea floor.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Dont you suppose that 2 miles of ocean depth is exerting such an immense pressure that a few inches more water is utterly negligible?

I admit that it's unlikely, but the best method of disproving the argument is to go out there and perform the measurements. Gedanken experiments can only take you so far...

The whole things stinks of 'lets find an excuse to adjust sea level rise upwards'.
How about the fact tide gauges are often near cities, which are sinking due to heavy, tall buildings and ground water extraction? These show more sea level rise than rural gauges.

In the 60s Tokyo was sinking at 9 inches a year!
Lets see them adjust their data for known issues first.

You obviously have looked into this more carefully than I have.

It is to do with global warming, I have looked into it a lot, in depth.

Well, you say that ... but Arctic and Antarctic ice both melt to produce fresh water, which is less dense than salt water. So when it melts, it does raise the sea level. Just not on a measurable scale worldwide, is all.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Arctic ice melt wont raise sea levels, it is floating. But ask yourself where the ice came from, and what happened to the salt when the sea froze?
If antarctica melts we are screwed, but since it would take a global rise of some 40C to do that, we would be screwed already, so wouldnt notice it.

FYI: I don't think density matters here... only volume.
After a while the densities will average out, but the volume will be a sum.

AI can create images based on pictures you are looking at
Wouldn't it be more efficient to eliminate the middleman, and let the AI look at the picture directly...?

The stunning, incredible, amazing thing is that a machine is capable of reading images from a BRAIN!!!!!
I am completely stunned by this, it is a massive breakthrough into understanding the brain.
I mean, HOLY CRAP!! This is big!

Calm down. We've heard these types of stories before.
The question you have to ask yourself is, what are the applications for this, other than Big Brother-ish types of scenarios?
|
|
|
|

I'm not sure that's always such a good idea.
Can you imagine if you had a machine drawing pictures based on all the things you stared at all day? Could require some awkward explanations.

I can imagine, and that would be awkward enough.

I had to wait for an hour outside a supermarket in a shopping centre north of Cairns this morning, an astonishingly pleasant exercise (remember I live in Singapore where Hooters only have legs). If an AI was going to draw something from what I was focused on it would probably be classed as soft porn.
I have since been told I am NOT allowed to hang around there and I am NOT to take my long rain coat with me.
