Did those scientists never read jurassic park?

Not that bringing back the dodo bird or mammoths would have quite the same effect probably but species go extinct for a reason.

I went to the March for Science and was glad I did. It was cold and rainy but everyone was having a good time. Got to hear some great speakers and geek out with other scientists. It was really encouraging to see the scientific community come together. I'm hoping we will see more of that this time around.

 

ADP is showing this on all hr applications now- I've encountered it a few times and always hesitate before choosing. I don't want my resume to go even further down the vortex and feed an AI model but maybe opting out just eliminates you altogether from consideration.

Have you seen this before? How have you handled it?

This employer may use an artificial intelligence algorithm to provide an initial comparison of an applicant's education, experience, and skills against the education, experience and skill requirements in the job description. This analysis produces a Profile Relevancy score, which is intended to be one of many factors that a potential employer will review in making its interview decisions; there are no cut off scores and all applications are visible to employers. Read more about how these tools collect, store, and retain information and the results of the most recent impartial evaluations. The Profile Relevancy score for applicants who opt out will be listed as "Not Available."

(Checkbox) I want to opt out from having my resume reviewed by artificial intelligence as part of the application process. ]

Omg they are hilarious.

If I was on the twitters (or Blueskys now I guess) I'd definitely follow them.

Cool idea. Definitely one to follow, especially for basic patterns.

Some interesting patterns in there- one is literally a sheet with eye holes in it and is labeled "Zool". (As in, the dominion of Gozer the Gozerian?) Lol

The font for the title looks like the font used for Campbell's soup and I misread it at first thinking rhats what it said and wondered why anyone would make a movie about soup.

This movie looks considerably more interesting. Super excited to see Guillermo in something after What we do in the Shadows.

I remember this story coming out way back when Altman was kicked out of openai. Evidently shes been saying this for a while and his standard response was that she was in poor mental health and was either imagining it or making it up because of that. He comes across as a total nard and i tend to believe there was at least some dysfunction between them even if shes remembering things inaccurately. I hope the sister gets closure.

Yep. The guy got a large publicly available dataset (or one his university had access to) and mined it for interesting results to get a publication.

Having seen what the film industry did to Borderlands, my expectations are at about zero for this.

Maybe since it's a Sony game and Sony movie they will respect the story, but who knows...

This seems like another crazy attention ploy that he likes to pull when he doesn't want us to see what he's really up to.

What is he trying to distract us from?

This means lenders will also be barred from using information about medical devices, such as prosthetic limbs, that could be used to require that the devices serve as collateral for a loan for the purposes of repossession.

What kind of sick dystopia do we live in where a prosthetic device could be used as collateral for a loan and reposessed???

Finally some f-ing good news for a change.

Isn't the multi-player immersive sim thing what Arcane was going for with Redfall? That one didn't work out so well...

 

Should be titled: Jaguar takes the wrong lesson from Tesla's Cybertruck.

 

I know it's a bit different from the typical movie review/analysis but thought this was an interesting take on a great Thanksgiving day classic.

 

I know this is basically the same as burning money, but I found this funny and I've got $7.99 burning a hole in my pocket...

 

I'm not familiar with eLife but this publication model is crazy. (They aren't giving editors the choice to reject/publish -it's all published with open access reviews and an article classification by the editors of general quality (based on reviews). Surprising that they didn't see a change in volume or submissions or decline in reviews.

 

I'm doing a month-long series of campy, classic and unique horror movies. I'm pretty liberal in what gets included, trying for a lot of variety. I'm particularly a fan of spooky comedies (like the Burbs), and generally avoiding big franchise horror series to see more unique stuff.

I'm enjoying seeing so many movies I would never come across any other way, even if many of them aren't all that great. So far my favorite is probably Cabin in the Woods or Happy Death Day.

Anything I should add to the list?

Thanks, Onion, that does make me feel better.

 

God bless the FTC.

Finally some good news on a studio closure. So glad for the team at Tango they found someone to take them on.

 

If you haven't watched the olympic break dancing competition, do yourself a favor and check it out. The woman competing for Australia might be the best thing I've seen so far.
