The AI-generated cat pictures thread
It's very runny, sir. Oh! the cat's eaten it!

C: In a nutshell. And I thought to myself, 'a little fermented curd will do the trick', so, I curtailed my Walpoling activites, sallied forth, and infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!
O: Come again?
C: I want to buy some cheese.
O: Oh, I thought you were complaining about the bouzouki player!
C: Oh, heaven forbid: I am one who delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse!
O: Sorry?
C: 'Ooo, Ah lahk a nice tune, 'yer forced to!
O: So he can go on playing, can he?
C: Most certainly! Now then, some cheese please, my good man.
O: (lustily) Certainly, sir. What would you like?
C: Well, eh, how about a little Red Leicester.
O: I'm, a-fraid we're fresh out of Red Leicester, sir.

[Due to a typo, I initially found a forum for serious Fleshlight enthusiasts, and it turns out their highest-end models are ALSO capable of setting trees on fire. They're impossible to use without severe burns, but some of them swear it's worth it.]

This only happens parked in the lean-to off the side of my house with the drivers door open.
Anywhere else, or doors closed it doesn't happen.

Like this guy:
That having been said, I am a *little* surprised that a car which is capable of driving itself, and yet which isn't supposed to be allowed to drive itself unless you're sitting in the drivers seat with your hands on the wheel, doesn't have some means of noticing that nobody is sitting in the drivers seat. The first time somebody kills a busload of schoolchildren while doing this, there might be just a teensey little bit of the biggest single-incident product liability suit in the history of the world filed in the general direction of Palo Alto.

Which seems like a hilariously dangerous and irresponsible thing to do with a technology that's capable of killing large numbers of people quite easily. God help us if Musk decides to start a company that builds military / police robots.
I love this headline: Elon Musk: Tesla May Limit Autopilot Because People Are Idiots
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
I'm just wondering if Tesla even *tried* to implement one.
Irony:
A software company is being ultra conservative about beta-testing a new product before letting it anywhere near the general public.
A car company said "**** it" and released the beta version to the public.

Today, I went over to another Miata forum which I hadn't visited in a number of months to try and locate an old post which I'd made that contained a link I was looking for.
The link turned out to be dead, but I did notice something new there which was good for a chuckle.
