seriously, slashdot? It's 2025 and you still can't do the Euro sign?

Even so the prices are excessive. If I want to upgrade the SSD in the current MBP from 512 GB to 2 TB that's +750 â

Meanwhile, a Western Digital Red SN700 with 2 TB I can get for a bit over 200 â.
A Samsung 990 PRO 2 - 245 â (was just rated the best M.2 SSD on the market by Tom's Hardware).

Whatever exact chips Apple is using, they're not 3x as expensive as other high-quality SSDs.

Even if "locked in place" is your underlying assumption, anyone who's even heard of the real world from their mom who has a friend whose father once visited it should know that there is no rule without exceptions and even if that is perfectly true, a small number of those particles will not be locked in perfectly.

Not at all. Stock market prices are much more inefficient than academics lead us to believe.

Or, follow the glass hole into a quiet alley and smash his face into the wall from behind, then run away.....

I'm not advocating this, I'm just pointing out that there are many more options than you make it out to be.

Nooooo! I'm still paying off my 3D television set, you insensitive clod! It makes movies look so real!

- "I use all your queries to increase OpenAI's revenue regardless of how unethical."

Nonsense. It takes years to train up a radiologist. It's supply and demand. Nothing to do with AI.

Why would they want more fuel-efficient vehicles to be built?

Follow The Money.

Dementia is not the problem you think it is.

As long as it gets investigated starting in about 40 years, the Warner employees will be fine.

I'd worry more about Netflix. Didn't AOL buy Warner previously? I don't think that went well for AOL....

It's monkeys with typewriters,

All the way down.

I'm still trying to figure out how that's possible.

Easy. Let's say the NYT article says Trump is a thief. The AI reads the article, regurgitates it to one of its users with hallucinations, like Trump is the antichrist. Now the user thinks the NYT article said Trump is the antichrist because the AI said so, and goes postal with a shotgun.

I don't know what you mean by "free"? But on the off chance you mean "free as in beer" I will point out that the owner of said beers has the right to offer the beer free to one person, while not making it free for another person or even AI for that matter.

Just because the NYT allowed someone to see an article for free does not mean, ipso facto, that *you* are entitled to see that article for free yourself. In particular copyright is not transitive.

Are you talking about "American courts" by any chance? Because there are plenty of courts out there with vastly different standards.

Huh? That does not compute. OP talked about AI. You're talking about humans. Apples and Oranges. Regardless of your attempted point about piracy.
