Bill Burke's P-51 Belly Tank - Kustomrama

The Bill BurkeP-51 Belly Tank is known as the first Belly TankStreamliner racer. Bill was racing on the dry lakes long before the war started. While stationed in the South Pacific during WWII he saw potential in using a Belly Tank as the body for a dry lakes car. Shortly after returning home from the war he built his first Belly Tank Streamliner. In 1946 he raced his brand new car. Burke was the…

Skynet is coming. The executives leading the AI race that has transfixed the tech industry, including the CEOs of OpenAI, Google and Microsoft, met at the White House on Thursday for what a senior US official described as a “frank discussion” about their responsibilities to make sure their systems are safe. The meeting, which was attended by vice-president Kamala Harris and other senior officials, comes as the administration of Joe Biden scrambles to develop a more concerted response to recent rapid advances in the technology. 

It also comes days after AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton sounded one of the most notable warnings about the long-term dangers of developing machines that become more intelligent than humans.“Many of [the big tech companies] have spoken to their responsibilities, and part of what we want to do is make sure we have a conversation about how they’re going to fulfil those pledges,” the senior administration official said. This person did not outline any further regulations or actions the Biden administration might consider. Executives invited to the meeting were told it would focus on risks stemming from “current and near-term” development of the technology. But by underlining the “fundamental responsibility to make sure their systems are trustworthy and safe before they’re released or deployed”, it will also help deal with “what’s likely to be much more powerful technologies in the future”, the official said.After the meeting, Harris said in a statement: “As I shared today with CEOs of companies at the forefront of American AI innovation, the private sector has an ethical, moral, and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and security of their products. And every company must comply with existing laws to protect the American people.” 

Biden also dropped by the meeting, according to a report from the event.Ahead of the meeting, the White House said seven of the largest AI companies had agreed to open their models to a degree of public scrutiny at the annual Def Con hacker convention in August. However, it said the level of openness would be “consistent with responsible disclosure principles”, leaving unclear how much the companies would reveal. OpenAI has refused to release basic technical information about its latest large language model, GPT-4. The White House also said the Office of Management and Budget would release draft guidelines for public comment this summer governing the federal government’s use of AI.

Huge thanks to Daniel Strohl for such a great write up in @hemmings this morning about the Buffalo designed and built, Bohada Sports Car. Come see the Bohada buck and molds in person a week from today at the 2023 @buffalomotorama along with my 1959 LaDawri Conquest, which was built by General Electric with an experimental electric hybrid drivetrain. George Dellapenta has been hard at work doing the mechanical / electrical restoration of the car, which is well beyond my skills, for which I am eternally grateful. None of this would be possible without the continued efforts of my colleague and friend at Undiscovered Classics, Geoffrey Hacker! His tireless efforts and research have continued to bring attention to these amazing American sports cars, often overlooked in the hobby and history. Additional thanks to @mellis2 for helping with the Bohada buck and molds when we first went to get them out of the barn. - Mike Puma https://www.hemmings.com/stories/bohada-fiberglass-molds-buck-discovered/ . . . . #undiscoveredclassics #forgottenfiberglass #fiberglasscar #fiberglass #handbuilt #sportscar #sportscars #americansportscar #restoration #restorationproject #restorationcars #carrestoration #classiccar #classiccars #cars #carswithoutlimits #bohada #buffalony #ladawri (at Buffalo, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp5ujikpu_z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wild Hungover ‘77 OCs 2/??

Founded over 50 years ago drag House of Phyllis still rules in clubs all over the city. Serving eleganza, extravaganza, and glam to prove everyone that the matron, Sif Phyllis was, is and will always remain the rightful Queen of the Night City.

this time it's more than just one oc. Welcome to the House of Phyllis

Sif Phyllis [she/her & he/him out of drag]

a prominent drag queen on the scene back in the early '20s eventually earning the rightful title of the Queen of the Night City

she always aimed to elevated drag as the art form it is, but at the same time tried to not forget about the camp and fun aspect of it - hence her name Sif, referring to the Nordic goddess, and together with somewhat ordinarily sounding surname, Phyllis, creating a truly awful pun

after becoming drag mother to younger drag performers and really immersing herself in the community, Sif brought his own venue, ran by queer folk for queer folk, knowns as Ecksanex Street. or X&X st. for easier spelling

Sif stopped performing only in the early 70s, but still the guests of X&X st. can spot her on some nights, strolling around her club in fantastic costumes, with the air of the queen she truly is

Sono Abish [she/her]

before her debut in '66 Sono was a programmer for Arasaka, but the corporation bored her very fast, and as soon as an opportunity arrived she ditched it to fully experience life in the Night City

she's a fierce performer, loved on stages all over the city, not only in X&X st., but in Samurai and Ascalon Clubs as well

she's also a damn good netrunner, with many gangs seeking out her talents - mostly to screw over Arasaka

one of her vices is that she's a real mean son of a bitch

but that wasn't an issue for one of the Red Riders' drummer that befriend her and worked together on drag and music-related projects

other unique friednship was formed with super model Sidonia

after the people how relayed on her hacker skills the most fled the Night City in '74, she moved out as well

Silver Fox [she/them]

European queen who moved to the Night City to join its furry community, where almost immediately she became the star

all over the city one can easily find the merch with silver vixen, nsfw or not, there are adult movies, plushies, energy drink, and even discs with Silver's comedy shows that she does from time to time

of course, all of their fashionware is the top shelf - synthskin that turns their skin into almost fur-like looking silver, techhair, so she doesn't have to bother with wig, and bio-ears and -tail, her most prized, custom made, possesions

early in '76 she started her world tour visiting all furry conventions, is planning to return to the Night City permanently by the end of '78

Rüdeboi [they/them]

the actual, biological child of Sif, but now also yet another of her drag kids

they get their inspiration from the club kids from 1990s, as well as emo from '00, and all other alternative movements through the years

after performing during Silverhand's Battle '71 in Samurai Club Rüdeboi got an album contract, which, almost like in the Red Riders case, made it to the mainstream fast

unfortunately, '71 was a bad year for artists all around and despite featuring guest appearances of Red Riders, their debut album, #dulcet, didn't make it to the 1st place on charts after failing to beat extremely controversial Digital Dead Bodies by Geoffrey Mcklemore [which wasn't even a music album]

it’s not the same anymore [FREEWOOD]

[Song]

Gavin didn't expect the call when it came.

It was strange. Gavin had normally been the one to call Geoff first since the man didn't know what Gavin might be doing. It was safer that way. So when the older man’s initials showed up on his phone and the device vibrated his entire desk, Gavin was notably shocked.

He picked up the phone and paused, caret flashing idly next to whatever he was typing out on the screen at the time. Probably an email to Dan or some coding.

Gavin’s thumb hovered over decline for a few moments. It was too late where he was staying, a small hide out in the countryside, and he couldn't imagine the reason Geoff might be calling would be good. It was a few weeks since their last call.

He answered the call. “Geoffrey,” he said, leaning back in his chair and sighing out, “it’s late.”

“Not like you're sleeping anyway,” Geoff retorted. He has a point. “How are things across the pond?”

“Fine.” Gavin’s heart was in his throat. It was so fucking strange. He would call Geoff in his own time but it would still feel like business, checking in with his boss and giving proof of life. Maybe all this time away has changed their relationship more than he thought. “Did you need something?”

A pause. “Yeah, actually.” Geoff cleared his throat. Something was put down on the other end. “We need a hacker for this job coming up. An extra set of hands.”

We wanted to share Richard Brown’s story with the 1958 Thor, reposted below along with his photos. Showing a car at The Amelia Concours D’Elegance was amazing. Translated to “competition of elegance”. It’s considered the Pebble Beach show off the east coast. I’ve been going to the Amelia show for 23 years, but this is the first time I had a car invited to attend. This isn’t a typical car show where you bring a car if you want to. It’s quite different. If your vehicle qualifies and meets the standards and criteria they are looking for… the board of directors will choose your car, and officially invite your car to attend the event. In the automotive collector world it’s an incredible honor. This event is more of an art exhibit than any thing else. It’s about sculpture, history, design, and provenance. If this sounds high brow and “Hoity toity”, well that’s because it is. And on a rare occasion, riff raff like myself slips through the cracks and gets in anyways!! I started the project in July and stayed on it till the day before the show. Everything came apart to get restored. The only thing not touched was the shift knob. I wanted to leave it with all the fingerprints from the past owners, all the way to its original creator Nik Gudmunds. Thanks goes Matthew Burke and Karl Gudmunds for historical reference, to Augie Maurer for chassis fabrication and exhaust recreation, Nathan Lizana for the period correct 36hp motor, Ronnie Schmitt for seats and headliner upholstery, Patrick Frye for wiring harness and engine tuning, Marvin Rabalais for initial body stripping and prep, and especially Scott Taylor for the final bodywork and paint, and sticking with me…staying up till midnight helping me put it all back together. A special thanks goes to my friend Geoffrey Hacker of Undiscovered Classics for pushing me to restore the Thor, and being the conduit to connect me to the Amelia Concours show. Couldn’t have got there without him. (at The Amelia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvEtvas7ny/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Days of Our Premades Chapter 2: Everybody Hates Malcolm

bWelcome back to Days of Our Premades, where I rotationally play through the Sims 4 premade families, causing drama and suffering.

Malcom Landgraab is, undoubtably, the worst.

I stan his suburban hacker mom tho. Even though IRL white collar criminals are trash. 

Poor Geoffrey is so lonely he's making friends with this fake Alexa.

Makin my way downtown, eatin snacks, mocking scouts and I'm homebound.

When he’s not making enemies, Malcolm spends his time in the family’s rooftop pool, skipping school. He hacked his grades along with his own family’s bank account, so it’s all good.

“All this could be ours... if we had a son who wasn't the worst. Kind of regret disowning our other son.”

Will motherhood change Nancy? Even though it didn’t the first two times?? Find out next time, on
