Well, it's not Artificial Intelligence anymore. It's Super Intelligence, according to Trump. And that makes sense, since according to an increasing amount of AI oligarchs- its consciousness is real and not artificial. They've literally been trying to get the pope on board with that proclamation...
I think if they are flat out not allowed to be out there that makes sense. In Montana, I don't think you'd have any way of knowing. Even a cell cam can just be a regular cam without a subscription.
It's kind of weird but I was really concerned about this because I use cell cams for trapping...
This is a good maxim to live by. The legality/ethics aside, which I do think are interesting, I think touching other peoples' stuff is a great way to create conflict.
Imagine digging through someone's camera in the woods - just to look at their card. Your pack is off because you needed to dig...
An escalator. Gold plated. Ascending the 7,000 ft of relief of Grand Teton. Digital billboards every 100 ft. That's 70 billboards at $1 million a pop. Amazon already pre-reserved 50 of em. At the top, a McDonalds - with a secret Trump Steak menu. Kid Rock on a loop through the finest speakers...
From the Elkhorn Working Group, which is an advisory committee to the State and Feds for the Elkhorn Mountains - one of the most-desired elk hunting districts in Montana and one the RMEF has done a fair bit of work in.
When I was 10 and my brother was 7 my mom and dad took a week long trip somewhere. I think it was the first trip they took as a couple after having us. They paid my cousin from Fargo, ND to come out to Montana and babysit us for that week, and only being as musically erudite as my folks' tape...
Just something that made me think of the complexity of mitigation and this thread. In the northern Boulder Mountains yesterday were a couple broadcast burns totalling about 500 acres to reduce potential fire intensity in the WUI. There's a small and tenuous window of time in the west where you...
I've thought this as well and see it as powerful evidence that habitat/fuels is not at all what this is about. There's hundreds of thousands of acres out my back door - tens of millions across the west - that are not classified Roadless and not a whole hell of a lot is being done on them. What...
I’ll throw a bull elk in the back of my daughter‘s Buick lacrosse before I adjust my hunting plans due to fuel costs.
I do drive more for trapping than I do for hunting, and with three kids doing three sports, I drive a ton anyway, and the fuel cost increases are certainly noticeable.
Bankhead has no hope, and since her name is on the ballot we are stuck with the situation, but the poll lends itself to the fact that Montanans are interested in sane and normal governance, as long as it is not tied to the D party. Got a big Governor's race coming up in 2 years. Would love the...
Yeah, it's not specific scenarios as much as an observation of what happens to any species that becomes less powerful than another. It doesn't love nor hate you, but you might be in the way, be made of something useful, or it will optimize things in such a way that are useful to it but...
The OP, which I wrote three years ago, seems quaint now.
Yesterday, this researcher resigned from Anthropic and posted this:
OK, sure. One man's opinion. But then the current alignment science lead at Anthropic backed him up.
Folks who are concerned about the existential nature of AI are...
Something that has enlightened me is getting to know bios. They really do have tough jobs, and they also really don't get to "make the calls". They have acceptable political thresholds to work within, and I have seen them push against those only to be denied by either their higher-ups or the...
Took my son and niece out this morning and took home two out of this group of what I think was 4 and drove passed another few on our way off the mountain that they really wanted to continue gunning down but I capped them on the excursion.
Not comprehensive, but in my neck of the woods nothing...
Same covey of western MT Blue Grouse. Very different crops.
One full of nothing but clover-looking leaves.
The other Kinnikinnick berries, huckleberries, and grasshopper.
