When was roomba made in the usa?? replace our MBAs with their MBAs? don't care. Going Chinese might lower credibility of the failing product that was less innovative than American auto companies. As for privacy, there wasn't likely going to be any either way and for now, I'm more concerned about Amazon invading Americans' privacy.

THE SYSTEM IS BORKED! You can't reform / repair a problem in a foobar system without it making worse

What an idiotic thing to write. You are trolling or either think you understand something you clearly do not.

Yes, until he finally gets canceled. Nobody is doing more harm. AI is just hype now; the damage it's going to cause hasn't really started yet.

AMZN should have got them so they can waste more of their money; that would be just.

This IS the better outcome for consumers. nobody should buy their pet shit spreader.

Not odd at all!
1) It fits with their narrative lie
2) they have to pay his contract either way
3) he actually does make them money; more so if he has a long good bye.
4) minimizes backlash
5) gets him to behave; maybe tries to renegotiate, old show or new shows etc.
5.5) they can shut him down immediately if he raises too much trouble and shut the door on future negotiations
6) test the waters while they plan to fire every "DEI" person. Gale King was just fired.

The network agreed to pay Colbert 14 million back in 2017? they obviously thought it was worth it... the 50 they made up is bunk. So they only have 2million viewers... PER NIGHT and they only film 4 per week. Plus if you've worked in TV, you'd realize staff overlap between shows at bit (but they could reduce staff, the band could be laid off, like Seth Myers had to do.) Re-negotiations usually happen; not this time, and that is the ODD part. These shows can be run much cheaper and they have been before; one would wonder how any TV shows were possible in the past or in other countries if 2 million viewers is not enough...

The people of AI is lame and they are quite behind the time on that one.

When people looked at the thing, then it got people talking- now, the only time we hear about TIME is their time person of the year and nothing much is READ about why; which is where they could inform and provoke thought. Neither of which, is done by the majority today.

It should be Trump. Nobody has been fucking up more of the world than Moron Mussolini (an accurate label) and his cult of retards (remember he projects.) Next year? Trump even more so. Nobody is on more people's minds.

If you want an influential and informative pick that could do some good with people reading about the justification, you'd pick the technofascists.

SpaceX exists only because we fucked up NASA long ago and SpaceX is based mostly on the old work of NASA and what they did could have been done by the old NASA; possibly faster and certainly decades sooner. We had to build an idiotic shuttle which had parts made in every state. Rotating leadership too often is also foolish. They kept/keep trying to funnel money into contractors just like the military does flushing their money.

Helvetica wins. But the real thing is they don't read or follow anything so it doesn't matter. They've already switched to dingbat.

Because it is. Netflix is anti-competitive and must be blocked too. The real difference is that Paramount is bribing the president and will turn everything it owns into a mild version of Fox News. Not that CBS wasn't already sane washing and failing to counter the delusions being sold to the public. MORE media control than there already is should be scary.

Colbert was fired with BS reasons; we still don't see any real push back on that one. The network gave him a deal for that much money not long before; now they say it's too much money but they could almost cut it in half and be where they where they were a decade ago. They could afford that...

No, most fitting would be ....some popular Russian font.

Look into Apple's deep involvement with ARM; predating the computer use. ARM is revolutionary and they were into it. Without Apple, there probably wouldn't be ARM.

Correct!
The stuff is grossly over hyped and people are over leveraging on the hype. Thinking they will discover the terminator 1st and rule the world. They'll find some clever uses; which in some cases will not be easy to own and likely hint at solutions others can copy. Already we've seen many big expensive competitors pop out from nowhere using the research to make their own system.

If somebody does "own" whatever next innovation, you think China is going to care to pay for it? They will find copy and discover spin off tech before the lawsuits finish. Besides, while USA companies hold each other back and in-fight, others will ignore that game and move forward. "I.P." in the USA is harming more innovation than it helps. Not that I think they will actually get smart. The magical reasoning that is behind language seems to be somewhat unlocked but it's just a kind of intelligence. much of which is just modeling a pattern of that; not all the other thought behind it in the 1st place.

Even if they didn't pay this guy to do it, they'll be there to HELP this nobody stop them from media dominance. The man could have come up with this scheme expecting to get paid somehow for being useful. Certainly it's not as much of a gamble as everything else is in Vegas.

I guess I assumed it was big enough to be remembered. It wasn't on your radar then.

Organic Chemistry is a filtering class to keep out people who shouldn't be M.Ds. He was not just anybody they fired and the reasoning was idiotic and indicative of a deep rot in the culture of the organization that it even happened in the first place and didn't get the push back it needed. It's a huge reputational harm that needs consequences besides simply churning out low quality graduates which in time will lower the reputation. Aside from having even more for people to rail against with medicine and science.
