I need help also. I didn't watch Independence Day that close. Did the aliens win or the people?
Also, in Star Wars, did the Death Star get blown up or was it fully operational after the movie?
So he has many of the trade secrets to build the device they couldn't sell. It seems Apple would be happy to let a competitor burn through a lot of cash building a similar product.
"award damages to be determined at trial, and reimburse Apple's costs and attorneys' fees"
That kind of retaliation would make me worry about being an Apple employee. If they think you wronged them, they can sue you into debt for life.
Perhaps there needs to be a project that periodically flies drones over plants to detect methane use and upload the results to a repository.
Banning sharing AI reminds me of when they tried to ban strong encryption. It didn't work and there were many workarounds including printing it on paper. Sorry, but you can't contain knowledge.
"and them it returns 200 years and you have it crashing in the earth"
I saw that episode of Futurama also
Any detection will likely look for certain "fingerprints" placed into the audio feed. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to develop a tool that takes the AI generated stuff and "dirties" it up enough to eradicate any of those fingerprints yet be indistinguishable to normal people. Basically like how a jpg gets a super close depiction of an original image, but it has lost some aspects of the original.
"it has brought nothing good to the world"
xAI (owned by Musk) has shown he is often wrong, a liar, a market manipulator, and many other insights that he doesn't believe. So, either its right or he has spent billions of dollars on a system that is unreliable.
"with much less convenient hours, but a human actually picks up when you call"
Presuming you are fine to call in those less convenient hours
You left out how they also take as many loans as they can against the business for expansion, pay themselves large amount from that money, then exit leaving the companies so buried in debt they disappear a few years later.
and Mac owners/users paid the most
"What's the impact of most of the major web, database, cloud, SaaS, etc. platforms/technolgoies being 10 or more years old with few, if any, major new updates which result in significant productivity gains?"
Realistically, 99.9% of applications running new vs 10 year old databases will see no impact on how they operate. You could use 20 year old tech and most apps would still be just fine.
Sadly, if we are headed into a depression CEOs first move will be to save the companies which often requires cutting costs. And where are most companies largest costs? Payroll!!!
I remember when my sister got a 2019 Subaru and bragged it had 23 computers. She thought it was cool. All I could think was there were 23 more points of failure to control various systems that each probably cost $1k or more to repair and only the dealer could fix. And when I see touchscreens controlling more and more, I just think of when all those cars are 10+ years old and the screen dies. At that point it will cost more than the car could be worth to get AC or the radio going in a car where all the actual equipment that does that function does still work. Just the controls are the point of failure.
These repeated failures may be an opportunity for NASA to be reinvigorated. It won't happen under Trump, but when there is a Dem President and Congress, I can see a possibility for a push to "Make America Great Again" by taking control of its space destiny without having to rely on for-profit contractors mooching off government dollars. The repeated SpaceX failures could help get public opinion to side with a NASA controlled/managed space program.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
