A quotation from Douglas Adams

MARVIN: The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million, they were the worst too. The third ten million I didn’t enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Phase 1, “Fit the 5th” (BBC Radio) (1978-04-05)

Pier in Azul

Photograph composed in absolute sunrise in SR SA in one of our beautiful districts.

My next Digital Camera Body should be able to do this kind of composition also
I have been restricted to do this on Android phones, for the last couple of years.

Let's open a new can of hyperbole shall we! Oh, wait we've seen this before.

Tesla claims yet again that Robotaxi's are now operating without human “safety monitors" in the car in Austin TX. Apparently the human supervisors are now in a separate car that shadows the Robotaxi. And riders are reporting there are no “unsupervised” rides operating. Social media commentators slammed this is another marketing stunt. https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/tesla-pauses-unsupervised-robotaxi #Tesla #RoboTaxi #AutonomousDriving #FSD #Hyperbole #Austin

Is there hope that AI [sic, there is little intelligence there] will burn the pockets of investor rapidly enough for us to do useful things with compute and gradually reduce the wasted water and power they consume? Or will greed not get there fast enough?

Will businesses vote with their wallets?

@philpem I'm just so tired of trying with people, even as friends, who I end up feeling aren't trying with me.

Every time I go to a con I meet awesome people and get their Telegrams and all...and a month later all of them have stopped talking wtih me unless I initiate every conversation. #hyperbole

This is what happens when a word is watered down to the point of being meaningless.

"Terrorism" and "terrorist" mean nothing now, they're just insults to throw around.

They're not even worth getting upset about anymore. Call me a terrorist, I'll shrug and continue my day. We've been going down this road for decades.

🚨BREAKING: Veteran reporter John Simpson claims 2025 is a year like no other, despite having covered 40 wars. Apparently, the BBC's content buffet of global misery needed a touch of #hyperbole to spice up the déjà vu. 🍿📺

Beware the hyperbole machine! Big Tech is now proposing building data centers in orbit. Musk and Bezos are leading the charge - but they are NOT the only players.

Proponents of orbital data centers suggest they gain advantages by tapping limitless solar energy, deal with the challenges related to heat/cooling, while avoiding the environmental and public-health consequences of building them on earth.

Critics contend that the expense and technological complexity of putting data centers in the unforgiving environment of space makes the idea impractical.

SpaceX and Blue Origin are not the only proponents, Google is looking at this space as are Aetherflux, Lonestar Data Holdings, and Axiom Space. https://gizmodo.com/spacex-hypes-2026-ipo-with-predictable-ingredient-ai-in-orbit-2000697922 #Space #OrbitalDataCenters #AI #DataCenters #Hyperbole #BigTech #Musk #Bezos #BlueOrigin #SpaceX #Google #Suncatcher #Satellites #AIDataCenters

novaTopFlex Returns to novaTopFlex

After a fairly long, dark, and gloomy hiatus, the true novaTopFlex identity returns to the heavyweight technology industry, one step at a time. With every action taken by novaTopFlex is always an equal and opposite reaction from the system in question. novaTopFlex records videos to the system, and the system uploads the videos back to the Three Identities, and then the Three Identities decide which identity is most suited to a certain video stream, and then the final solution to each video […]

Clearly someone is getting seriously high on his own supply! What heck is a “production-intent prototype”.... Yowzers!!

My Prediction: "Huminoid" robots will ultimately be a giant Red Herring. Robots will be purpose built. Huminoid versions will nichey at best. https://www.brentdoncaster.com/post/technologies-greatest-red-herrings

Musk's view = Tesla will deliver 1 million Optimus robots. Tesla’s robots will “actually create a world where there is no poverty, where everyone has access to the finest medical care". Optimus “will be an incredible surgeon". Ok. Sure. Ya. Got it. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-wants-strong-influence-over-the-robot-army-hes-building/

Saw the most stylish teapot in this universe last night.

Pewter, asymetric knob on hinged lid, wooden handle.

What do Elizabeth Holmes, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Trevor Milton have in common with AI founders??

They all took or are likely taking (in the case of IA Founders) ambitious, visionary, often hyperbolic storytelling over the line into outright fraud...

Prediction - this will become some of the fissures that leads to an AI market bubble pop!
