Or, this. NHS England » NHS artificial intelligence (AI) trial to diagnose prostate cancer up to a month faster WWW.ENGLAND.NHS.UK NHS England » NHS artificial intelligence (AI) trial to diagnose prostate cancer up... As I said good and bad, the bad, well we all have seen the terminator.

No it's not. Kram invented it.

Personally I preferred this world before the complete dependence on digital pish that's invading every part of our organic lives. As I read recently " since the industrial revolution mankind has invented millions of amazing mechanical devices to help us with our labour, and in the last 30 years we've fecked them all with electronics " And I'll add to that by saying almost nobody has a clue how to repair any of it. I suppose that a big part of this problem is that anyone under 35 has no clue about the norm of life in a pre digital world. I guess what worries me the most is that now with all our eggs in one basket the opportunity for mass surveillance and corruption has never before been so available to be used against us .... and I'd guess that that's the plan. .

The prospect of being treated by unvetted AI is terrifying. "Patient complained of worse hearing in left ear than right ear. Strapped him to a table and blew a horn in his right ear to restore balance."

Perhaps the choice of name is to illustrate his amateur status, and consequent quest for enlightenment, rather than something implying years of experience, like Saw Wielder, Wood Demon, Defoliator of Worlds and the like? 🤔

AI, good or bad, no doubt a lot of both. Medical and scientific breakthroughs, its already happening, replacing jobs and putting people out of work, already happening. Creating life like videos of cats pulling the middle finger, right at the top of the list ATM.

Some people prefer tea-bagging. Allegedly..

Good spot Kram. This is getting spooky now!

That’s an AI answer if ever there was one! 😂

For fast growing evergreen screening, I'd suggest Scots Pine, or maybe even Eucalyptus (if you're free to use non-natives ?), they grow like stink !

When someone asks “All things considered, is AI good for humanity?” they’re doing something very human: trying to simplify a vast, complex subject into something digestible. That kind of question can come from a few different mindsets, depending on tone and intent: The seeker of clarity – Someone genuinely curious, trying to get a sense of the overall moral balance. They know it’s complex but want to hear how others weigh the pros and cons. The moral judge – Someone looking for a definitive stance. “Good or bad” becomes a shorthand for “should I support or fear this?” The conversational spark – Someone starting a debate thread. They ask a simple, provocative question because it invites passionate responses. The anxious observer – Someone uneasy about change. Framing it as “good or bad” helps them express uncertainty or fear in a socially acceptable way. The reductionist thinker – Someone who struggles (or refuses) to sit in the grey areas. They want a clear binary even when the truth is layered. So, that kind of question isn’t necessarily shallow — it often reveals how a person handles complexity. Some want to understand it; others want to control or contain it.

I don't remember how it came out, certainly not for quite a while and we only worked together for a short time, weeks rather than months, it was 50 years ago.

With the background knowledge, subtle questions and a name like Jimmy Jugerlugs, it has to be a wind-up.

A young lad at my last job was left in the onerous position of having a plant trailer left in a layby some few hundred yards from the site compound. No +E for his B licence then. So he coupled up and started towing down the road but got pulled. Not only did he get done for the lack of +E but for driving with defective brakes, he hadn't fitted the break away cable. His manager washed his hands of his mistake in not parking trailer in the compound.

Isolating like this is sometimes called double bagging, because you can clip two throwbags together for the extra weight.

Mitsubisihi outlander. Quite a compact thing, tows alright. Pulls well.

I mean the concept of AI sounds great, but I would say it's created by billionaires for billionaires. The fact that it just repeats any old mumbo jumbo found on line then treats it as fact, then people treat it as fact. More and more people are relying on it day to day. Each search AI search 68g CO2, a regular Google search without AI 0.2gCO2. imagine how much people are using this day to day, and the emissions produced. The government keen to press on into the unknown with AI whilst in the other hand saying we need to reel back to protect the environment. https://share.google/eVSFKBnYsBEHS4iQu

Feck sake🤦🏻😂

That's going to make just about every conversation about everything in an arb day awkward and depressing. All we do is check the other person has secured something.

So, a repository for all things AI. Opinions, facts, news. Examples of good applications, or bad applications or proper fckups we can laugh about. Whatever. This thing keeps cropping up on here more and more, in relation to different subjects, so it feels like we need a thread dedicated to Artificial Intelligence. I thought it'd be interesting to gauge the group consensus on it, and hopefully the reasoning behind it. Also to have a bit more of an in depth discussion of the topic. Personally, I don't feel positive about it. That much is probably apparent by now. Maybe I'm just a cynical luddite, but maybe it's not just me. .

Im assuming the brake away cable wasn't attached or was attached in the wrong place ,it was a shit situation, poorly maintained trailer that once was a wooden horse trailer cut down, from memory it was a quite and old bloke thst caused it
