Sounds like I shouldn’t bother saving for retirement anymore. Carpe diem time.

This is batshit crazy. Wow.

In this edition of “tales from my emergency room,”

Minding my own business taking care of my people over in A bay, then I hear indistinct loud screaming coming from B bay. Walk over there, and I see all the nurses going into one room. Charge nurse says “go get security.”

Figuring I wouldn’t be much help as the 7th man in, and as the secretary was already putting the call out to activate the response, I hoof it up front to registration, in front of a packed waiting room that could hear the screams, and say I need security.

Walk back with security, and outside one of the veteran nurses with 10+ years in the emergency room says “Gloves on, guys… this one’s the real deal. Punching, kicking, spitting, biting.”

Meanwhile we have patients on stretchers in the hall absolutely mortified seeing all this go down. And the packed waiting room is wondering who’s doing all the screaming.

So each security guy grabs a limb, with a nurse straddling on top of the guy in bed so he can’t get any leverage on kicks. Screaming bloody murder. He gets 5 of haldol, 5 of versed, and 4 of ativan (i.e., enough drugs to lay out a horse), and he calms down enough for us to put him in 4 point restraints and seizure precautions.

I couldn’t help myself and read through his chart. Apparently he came to us from police and EMS. Police got the call of a noise disturbance at his townhome where he lives alone. He was apparently shooting soda cans in his home with a homemade potato cannon, indoors. Every window in his house was broken, all his furniture was destroyed, and the place was a wreck. Police had to taze him multiple times and EMS gave him versed on the scene before they brought him to us, where it apparently wore off. Police said he was screaming incoherently “about Trump and Biden and other things.”

So I hope I didn’t just meet a fellow unstuck’er who’s fallen on hard times! I looked at the poor lady on a stretcher outside the room who saw it all and said “it must be a holiday weekend.”

How it’s going:

“China’s top down, centrally directed approach imposes no similar restraints on their home grown AV industry,” Ammann wrote.

Huh.

I saw that this morning and assumed it was a joke. That’s such bullshit, he should get a raise.

We are just begging to be terminated.

How about an autonomous vehicle that networks with other autonomous vehicles and uses AI to run down undesirables / terrorists? That’s a win win!

So he punks right wingers by getting them to retweet lee Harvey Oswald photos. Any journalist would be fired, rightly.

Don’t know what he does at The Intercept. If he trolls people for work then he shouldn’t be fired. If he’s a journalist, ez call.

You jest. It drops white people off at the airport and rounds up brown people at the airport on the same trip. You cannot get this kind of efficiency out of meat sacks with a conscience.

So how long until I’m jobless? 1,2, maybe 5 years at best. :eyes:

Edit: for clarification, I only drop people off.

Our AI will be in a suit, asking for proof of wages and any hint of a 2nd language and your oot, buddy.

Those drones were very likely deployed in Nagorno-Karabakh as well, and Turkey boasts about how well they’ve performed against Kurds in Iraq and Syria. So whether the official stats nerds have signed off or not I think we’re there.

Building on other discussion, something occurred to me for Elon Musk and his ilk—if they stuck a machine gun on a Tesla then maybe the second amendment means they could ignore all those pesky safety regulations? Programme them to mow down anything that gets in the way in self-defence and goodbye faulty collision detection, hello simply another act of freedom.

Um yeah. Kens next two tweets after that were

Sike

But someone retweet that to Candace Owens. She’s so dumb good chance she celebrates without looking into it. I would but she blocked me.

btw, the reason this made me think of paula deen is that her banana pudding recipie uses pepperidge farm chessmen cookies instead of nilla wafers, and I tried that this time and it’s OK but nilla wafers are better.
