Slow Moving Plane Crash as predicted by Descartes
So the elf draws my attention to a plane crash in NY – a plane “taxi-ing” at 100kmh hits a fire truck.
My first thought was “bullshit”. Never seen a plane taxi-ing at that speed, nor fire trucks lurking around the touchdown zone just waiting to be hit.
Then I looked at it and thought “AI Slop”.
Who knows, it might have actually happened. But I doubt it.
It was in all the major newspapers but they just rerun anything on the web. They can’t afford staff anymore.
Philosophically, it seems to me that we’ve lobbed into the situation where we’re going to have to learn not to trust our senses.
Which means that all we know is that we exist, and nothing else.
