Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

Speaking of halon...

At Metro (DC Metrorail) some train control rooms had halon fire suppression. One day, a tech was warming up some food in the microwave and it began to smoke. The halon alarm went off giving the guys 10-15 seconds to hit the huge red "Abort" button. Ordinarily that would not have been a problem but these particular techs had English as a second language and did not understand what 'abort' meant.

They left as $30,000 worth of halon poured into the TCR. The FD responded, along with lots of upper management types.

It led to a pointless system-wide ban on microwave ovens, coffee makers, etc., in TCRs. In addition to the microwave, we had 2 coffee makers. Management was frantically looking for the owners in order to write them up. Of course we all played dumb. Had they bothered to turn the coffee makers around they would have seen my 'unit #' on one of them.

try arguing with AI or using slang or colloquial expression( dumber then a blond teenager you fervently hope for a native English speaker on the other end)

As a kid, when power cells were new, I thought the only exhaust product would be H2O. Well...
It turns out that it is not pure H2O. Somehow it is contaminated and cannot be used at least without processing for drinking water. I mentally calculated that using H as a fuel would provide the needed water for those 100 miles up... nope.
Fuel cells do not produce as pure a byproduct as exhaust as one might think. Tell me what I missed since last looking back to my childhood in the 1960's... Please.

all these processes are going to introduce a degree of contamination in the "waste stream" now for the "chemtrails" nutters.I would imagine most any jet exhaust would contain detectable quantities of undesirable chemicals and metals in the exhaust stream,not by design,just happenstance.

There is some sound info here. Tip of the Ice berg.

To my mind, that looks to be an AI generated commentary. My non=pro engineering figures there should be some hydrocarbons escaping a H-burning engine. Likely from the valve guides or cylinder walls. I do not think I would drink the exhaust HOH.

I just used Gemini, which is AI. I'm watching the world cup And I'm watching Ivory Coast versus Norway. I asked what was Ivory Coast best finish, and Gemini said 2026 where they made it out of the group stage. First time they've done that. And it's true.

I then asked what is Norway's best finish and it said they made it to the round of 16 in 2026 before being eliminated. So I typed, how is that possible when they haven't even played in the round of 32 yet in 2026. Gemini replied, You are right, it is my mistake. I am sorry for that, I don't know how that happened. And I laughed!

We are closer every day to Terminator and Sky Link.
I'm 82. What the hell do I care. Going to be fun to watch, and then . . . . blink.

By the way, my first computer was a TI 99/4A.

Did you mean SkyNet?

Musk's Starlink fits right in, too.

And there will be no John Connor to save the day,

Yes, AI is very reliable, unless it isn't. How comforting.
