  • Look, they can make experiments, the problem is that every single one they do proves the earth is round.

    I love the experiment flat earthers used in a Netflix documentary. They put a light source and two panels with small holes at the same height in them to focus the light. If the earth is flat, a camera would capture the light if it is at the same height as the last hole:

    Picture showing a flat earth with the holes and camera at the same height

    And if the earth is round, the camera would need to be higher to capture the light

    The diagram now shows the man at the end holding the camera over his head to capture the light

    When they checked the experiment at the same height, there was no light. Thinking it was a problem with the setup, they raised the camera and the light appeared. Their comment was “Huh” or something similar.

    As far as I know, there are no flat earth explanations for this result.




  • That’s also true but considering that option is unavailable, there are multiple ways to protect against AI hallucinations.

    This was the future AI ethics people were warning:

    Picture a robot you tell to make an apple pie.

    To get to the apples a human is blocking the path.

    The robot just kills the human by running at full speed through them.

    Considering the robot is that dumb to try and go through the human, you can make the robot smaller or lighter so that bumping someone is not harmful.

    None of these options is considered when talking about AI, line go up and other buzzwords I guess.
