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!

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.

Yup. Americans are weird. What else is new?

One of the browsers I use cannot handle Cloudflare Capchas, I'm not sure if it's down to browser sniffing or some incompatibility, but at that point I either say fuck it or copy the link into another browser.

I can think of another company which has a search engine and is also one of the "big boys" when it comes to AI. Do Microsoft do their own AI crawling or is it sufficiently separated from Bing's that Cloudflare can tell them apart (so far).
A second approach is that Google's search engine is their original business. How tolerant would their user-base be if Cloudflare blocked their crawler, worldwide. That war would hurt the sites depending on Google for their traffic, but it would also hurt Google as well. The DOJ was already going after the company (not sure if that's still a "thing" under Trump) but their machinations take years anyway, as thegarbz points out, the EU more likely to get involved and they sometimes move faster.

I thought the garage was where people put their guest bedroom. :-)
