Reality might just overpower your mind!
I participate at a site where people can post a succinct thought and then, if they so desire, they can also provide an elucidation on the thought. The place pullulates with Regressives, so I was fatigued (tho not surprised) to find yet another iteration of their favorite cant, viz.: "White privilege exists. Let's fix that." (Note that this is a female Jewish artist who's got plenty of money and the concomitant privileges.)
My response was, "We're all ears to hear the first 5 things you yourself will be doing to fulfill that." I'll be keen to see whether she responds and if so, what she says. I have a feeling she'll play deaf mute (a favorite tactic of her ilk there and elsewhere online).
Somebody at a site I participate at asked whether computers could perhaps one day lie. Well, lying takes quite a bit of skill, yet AI can't even make out something when it's upside down!
I searched for this image right side up, and Google dutifully took me to the original page where I had found it (I had saved it under a different name, to try to fool the SE, but it wasn't fooled one bit). Then I thought, hmmmnn, let's simply flip this upside down and see whether Google can make it out.
Now, anybody can tell this is a dress, of course, but Google couldn't figure it out to save its...er..."life." Google thought it was this.
Close, but no cigar.
(Footnote: several years ago, a drawing book came out suggesting you draw things from an upside-down perspective. I'm wondering if computers'll ever be able to manage THAT!)
So as usual, I was again on a Google image search; wanted to find more dresses like this one from San Antonino de Velasco, in Oaxaca (I'm smitten by these):
Pretty straight forward to the human eye, that the focus in this picture is the dress, right? But A.I., as usual, was not able to prioritize or delineate, so since there's 2/3's background, and only 1/3 dress, Google "brilliantly" chose these images as matching.
Whodda guessed that Google's subject to the same foible as Texans? ;)
[Edit on Aug. 1st, '16: Google must've been ashamed of my tattling on it, bec. now, the images that showed up originally at that link are totally gone.]
This is mindboggling (and the uses of it even more so)!
"Nuclear subterrenes work by melting their way through the rock and
soil, actually vitrifying it as they go, and leaving a neat, solidly
glass-lined tunnel behind them.
The heat is supplied by a compact nuclear reactor that circulates
liquid lithium from the reactor core to the tunnel face, where it
melts the rock. In the process of melting the rock the lithium loses
some of its heat. It is then circulated back along the exterior of
the tunneling machine to help cool the vitrified rock as the
tunneling machine forces its way forward. The cooled lithium then
circulates back to the reactor where the whole cycle starts over. In
this way the nuclear subterrene slices through the rock like a
nuclear powered, 2,000 degree Fahrenheit (1,100 Celsius) earthworm,
boring its way deep underground. " (source)
It very much brought to mind this:
“Then
the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich
and the strong, and every one, slave and free, hid in the caves and
among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling
to the mountains and rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of
him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand before it?' ” (Revelation 6)
So I plugged this into Google's image search:
Anyone can tell it's a butterfly, right? Well, so-called artificial intelligence seems to be into the tranny fad, bec. here's what A."I." interpreted it as:
So I loaded this picture to find out which machine makes these embroidery stitches.
Google, google, always on call, which machine makes the prettiest stitches of all? The answer, as ever, produced merryment.
Once again, AI provides for "sweet" hilarity! I popped a picture of some sewing machine embroidery cams into the image search, and get a load of what Google thought it was, ROTFL!
Whodda thunk that stupidity masquerading as "intelligence" could generate endless mirth?
