Kids ARE using AI and they will continue to do so. Do what happened to math classes when calculators came out. Increase the breadth and amount of problems they are given to solve.
Or do what my schools did: ban them in the classroom and give plenty of pop quizzes. If you can't do the work on your own successfully in class with nothing but your pencil, paper, and brain, you fail. Period. Today's entitled mommies will scream, but fuck 'em.
JC Penney isn't doing great these days. Sears would not be much better off. Both of these lost their middle-class customers to other stores and online shopping and their costs are much too high to service low-income customers.
Sears had a different audience than JCPenny. Sears was a beloved tool retailer with a cult following and well regarded for their appliances. JCPenny was a place for cheap clothes that are higher quality than WalMart. To me, that's like comparing In & Out to McDonald's.
I don't know what era you grew up in, but when I was a child, Sears and Pennys were direct competitors. Sears just had a better catalog and automotive section. People going to malls would go to both to see who had the better deal on competing items. Especially for clothing. Montgomery Ward was a competitor, but they were the Chrysler to Sears/Penney's GM and Ford, the third wheel that no one went to first.
Sears did not "fail", they were willfully destroyed by a vulture capitalist.
Sears fate was sealed the moment Amazon was created. The "vulture capitalist" just squeezed what value he could from the dying remains. With their catalogue business, and being "America's general store", they were in the perfect position to move from paper catalog to Internet based ordering. They adapted too late. Malls and physical department stores are never coming back at a level necessary for a Sears to thrive. It's Amazon and everyone else now.
So far this is only affecting fools who pay up for such ridiculous features. The real problem comes when you have to pay to not have the thing you purchased controlled from afar.
sure, he can delay the inevitable
Inevitable. LOL.
The EU will break up before it truly bans ICE engines. It's not going to happen in our lifetime. Brussels may impose a penalty of some kind on member states that don't comply, but it'll be fairly cheap. Some tax or another will be imposed, everyone will claim victory, and ICE vehicles will continue to roll off production lines on the Continent.
Only if the attackers are also unarmed; otherwise you don't have security personnel, you have victims.
Most people are deeply stupid and that has always been the case.
Most people are not "deeply stupid". But that post was deeply arrogant.

I suspect phone manufacturers will attempt to find ways to block installing it on their devices
I suspect they'll just ignore it because no one will want to actually use it.
The problem with these ideology-based projects is that they have no mass appeal. No one out there in userland gives a flying fuck about free software. They want the latest apps. They want a seamless experience. Especially Gen Z who were raised on mobile devices. Tell them that they should give up iPhones and Android phones because "Free as in Freedom is the right way", and they're going to look at you like you're a tentacled thing from Mars. There simply aren't enough nerds on the fringe to make a "free" phone system work.
When I used to live in Glendale, California, I noted from reports from the Glendale DWP that most of the power used by the city--and by the state--was imported from places like Utah. Power would be generated in Utah, then shipped by power transmission lines to Glendale.
Will California also stop importing electricity from coal-fired plants outside of the state? Or is this simply virtue signaling by the state as they continue to export their pollution?
When you're angry about the Klan being portrayed as the bad guys...
Neither would have any of the other anti-consumer policy changes that are liable to financially molest you.
Recursion is the root of computation since it trades description for time.
