“At some point, the bot seems to have started to focus on medical search terms, as amongst the photos are endoscopes and several different kinds of foot conditions.”
I feel like some version of this statement will be the epitaph for humanity, a fragment eventually found amongst the ashes by some lizard James T. Kirk of Space Command.
So, at least now we know how it all ends for Microsoft:
SEATTLE — In the biggest shuffling of Microsoft’s executive ranks since the company’s new chief executive, Satya Nadella, took over, Mark Penn, the former aide to the Clinton family, is becoming the company’s chief strategy officer.
The change will give Mr. Penn, who has been an executive vice president at Microsoft overseeing advertising and strategy, a bigger hand in determining which markets Microsoft should be in and where it should be making further investments
Inexplicable. He’ll have that company destroyed inside of a month. Well, more destroyed.
I’m a fucking nihilist, because the thought of saving all of this evil from itself makes me shudder. Let’s hasten our own demise, for the good of the rest of the world. Stop listening to people like Paul [Krugman] who can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that a functioning American economy is no more likely to serve the poor than it ever has been, but it’s certain to oppress the planet. And that just isn’t acceptable to me, even considering the alternatives.

Bye.
Say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, but at least it’s an ethos…
And: goodbye, Unsolicited Analysis. Your writings and general willingness to engage issues on the merits using the facts at hand were appreciated; here’s hoping this is ultimately more of a pause than an end.
