The judge shouldn't allow open-ended searching. NYT should submit candidate search phrases to be used during discovery.

When is Microsoft going to face a similar situation in biz-ware? I doubt MS can change its spots back to nimble quick enough, and will go the way of IBM (who is strangely still alive, barely).

The quantities of water and salt involved are not on human scales.

Not yet, but we are getting fatter.

Ironically Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice, relatively speaking. Greenland was allegedly named by a shipping marketer trying to downplay the ice.

Here's a fix: sell them to Trump just before they start really freezing over. Since Trump doesn't believe in climate change, he'll deny he's being duped, believing the current cold is just random weather that will change back.

(Some argue he knows, he just wants stuff here and now to brag while alive, the future is Eric's problem.)

...not enough people or nations will do anything to prevent this. I'm just the messenger. There are basically 3 categories of people:

1. Those who care and are willing to sacrifice money or time to do something about it.

2. Those who care, but get distracted by other concerns such that they mostly ignore it.

3. Those who believe subject matter experts are liars or exaggerators, and thus ignore the problem.

Each of these is approximately 33%. Thus 2/3 (#2 & #3) won't do much about it, and this reflects leaders who happen to be charge of a nation at any given time.

If we get lucky, we'll figure out geoengineering without accidentally breaking something else. Otherwise we are hosed, figuratively and literally.

Most people who make a living off of AI produced music probably select from multiple candidate tunes made by the bot, and tweak the ones they like with prompts, and/or editing via old-fashioned sound editors.

Thus, humans are becoming vetters and tweakers rather than direct creators.

It's best if the bot generates the music as seperate tracks for each part (instrument & voice), as that makes hand-tweaking easier.

they are everywhere on slashdot! they are everywhere on slashdot! they are everywhere on slashdot! they are ... shuddup

They are supposed to say, "We eliminated workers because AI replaced their position." Then investors jump onboard instead of avoid you, as they typically do if you imply revenue shrinkage.

Could it be that since university enrollment is down in general, more marginal kids applied, thinking their odds are better now? Also because of AI fears, those choosing STEM majors are down, and thus more of the applicants may be for "squishier" degrees that don't need as much math.

I blame Excel, AI, Republicans, and climate change.

All 4 are merging into the Bigly Annoyance Party.

Like Jiiiihna. The upside is it makes commerce more efficient, as vendors don't need to deal with cash and related security.

If there comes a time where a centrally managed economy, population distribution, and perhaps genetic engineering becomes more efficient than ours, we may be SOL.

[60's idea] got canned when the John Bircher Society came out claiming it was Communist influence

They were somewhat right: Donald is a dictator-wannabe who has already stuck his fingers into multiple industries.

But I myself won't miss the penny, nor Donald.
