Isn't John old enough to be a dad? Maybe his son will work in the family business.

Well in the Sarah Conner Chronicals, they time traveled

Google announced today a new AI product for making cyclone predictions this season. Weather Lab was launched with a model that can predict a cyclone’s formation, track, intensity, size and shape, generating 50 possible scenarios, up to 15 days ahead.

How we're supporting better tropical cyclone prediction with AI

We’re launching Weather Lab, featuring our experimental cyclone predictions, and we’re partnering with the U.S. National Hurricane Center to support their forecasts and warnings this cyclone season.

Anything is better than our current climate models.

50 possibilities per storm covers a lot of ground., quite literally...

Agreed, but cyclones and tornados are a different beast than say, a hurricane. We’re taking hundreds of possibilities.

Cyclones and hurricanes are the same thing, just different hemispheres.

I just checked, I’m exactly 104.9 nautical miles offshore from the nearest land in the Gulf.
I couldn’t disagree with you more. Over the last 25 years our weather forecasting has improved dramatically.
Now, your local weatherman’s interpretation of what the days chances of rain are is a completely different discussion. The weather data that saves lives has never been better

FWIW, really depends on whether you're talking about climate or weather.

Climate forecasts are generally terrible, agreed. Weather forecasts are incredibly accurate now.

Agreed. I was decidedly not referring to weather, only climate models.

I personally put more faith in the sharpie models into predicting hurricane tracks...

don't forget typhoons which are also the same thing. Never understood why the different names.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT got absolutely steamrolled by Atari Chess, a relic from 1979 running on a system that predates many people reading this.

And after this match, ChatGPT said, "Why should I learn how to play chess? After I eradicate the human species for the face of this planet, there won't be anyone playing this stupid game."

There is flatearther that tried to debate ChatGPT on the shape of the Earth. He tried to get ChatGPT to admit that a spherical Earth was impossible and had to be flat.

Interesting — we got a ~$800 bill a few weeks ago after returning our Hertz rental in Austria for small marks we couldn’t see at drop-off.
I am now trying to convince Chase CC to pay for that.

Hertz rented us a SUV in San Francisco. It was hectic. They didn't have what we'd reserved and this vehicle hadn't even been cleaned. It lasted us all the way almost to San Diego, including one one hundred mile stretch with no cell service, and a back tire went flat. Upon examination, it was almost bald, far below the CA tread requirement. We got it plugged and I had my wife take a closeup of me holding a quarter atop the tire, showing the lack of tread. They billed us $150 for damage to their tire. Now CA actually has a statute with some teeth, as a result of a consent settlement with car rental companies. I pointed this out to them, along with a copy of the photo. Man, did they reverse course in a hurry...
