Maybe not direct miscommunication, but definitely a lack of context.

I got into a stupid game with my girlfriend texting back and forth quotes that start with “I am” like I’d send “I am Iron Man” and she’d respond “I am not a crook!”

After a while, I was running out of ideas, so I sent a quote from Pulp Fiction which I probably botched. Wasn’t sure if she had even seen it.

A few minutes later, my ex girlfriend calls and then hangs up when I answer. Thought that was weird.

Then I thought about how my ex and current girlfriend had the same first name.

I had just texted my ex who I hadn’t spoken to in two years “I AM THE LORD WHEN I LAY MY VENGEANCE UPON YOU!”

I tried to explain the context. She was fairly understanding, but I was shoook after that experience.

Just read the article.

The tips of the turbine fan blades are going much faster than the plane itself.

The air leaving your lungs during a sneeze is moving roughly 100mph.

At the equator, everything is moving at over 1000mph.

Glass cracks propagate at an absurdly fast rate. Something like 4x the speed of sound (1400m/s). Not a physical thing moving, but very common.

Also need to specify rest mass. Light has momentum.

Can’t find any solid numbers on it, but the micromirrors on a DLP projector are really fast. They rotate 10 degrees or so back and forth something like 1024 times for each color channel for each frame at 60fps.

The crack of a whip is a sonic boom caused by the tip going supersonic.

Basically the entire US economy, every employer, many schools, and half of the commercials on TV are telling us to use and trust AI.

Kid was already using the bot for advice on homework and relationships (two things that people are fucking encouraged to do depending on who you ask). The bot shouldn’t give lethal advice. And if it’s even capable of doing that, we all need to take a huuuuuuge step back.

“I want to make sure so I don’t overdose,” Nelson explained in the chat logs viewed by the publication. “There isn’t much information online and I don’t want to accidentally take too much.”

Kid was curious and cautious, and AI gave him incorrect information and the confidence to act on that information.

He was 19. Cut this victim blaming bullshit. Being a kid is hard enough before technology went full cyberpunk.
