But musicians who actually have talent, and tens of thousands of hours of practice and hard work, and play in one of the country's symphony orchestras are struggling to find an audience. Most major symphonies are struggling to make ends meet, many have cut hours and pay, some have even closed. And they play newly-composed music, too, it's not like they sit around playing Bach over and over again. But most people just aren't interested.

In that example, he was only 1/2 a mile from the Ukrainian lines, so a very short walk vs. 12 miles which would be at the long end of the range for the drones. He also was almost killed by an artillery strike along the way to surrender.
It also isn't clear, as far as I know, based on international law if surrendering to a drone requires the same laws of combat as surrendering to someone in person, especially if they are miles and miles away from any practical capture.

AI is important and can provide value to users, but it is massively overvalued and I suspect you will lose most of the $$ you invest as AI is only going to get cheaper and cheaper as models dramatically improve. It's an investment bubble and I think those who make wise choices will be very happy in 3 years.

One of your top responsibilities as the owner is to know what your customers think about you. Unfortunately, people today are much more likely to share their opinion on their social media than to tell you directly. So, if you want to know what your customers think of you, you have to go there.

Can you really surrender to a drone? Are you really going to expect an enemy combatant to walk 12 miles across contested territory, with a drone following them the whole way, so they can be taken into custody? The drone battery will die long before the soldier can make that 12 mile hike, at which point would they just turn and run? But, at the same time, killing a wounded or unarmed or obviously defeated soldier with a drone simply because they can't practically surrender also seems like a war crime?

I don't know the answers, but drones have dramatically changed war and our rules of engagement have not kept up.

Nope. He did not "create the vaccine." He agreed to let the government throw some money around to various companies who wanted to try to make a vaccine with the agreement that the government would get first dibs on any successfully created vaccine. In fact, as a taxpayer who probably paid more in taxes than Trump during those years, I likely had a bigger role in "creating the vaccine" than Trump.

The kids at the camp who were in cabins on higher ground all survived. The cabins where the campers died NEVER should have been there (and it seems the long-term owners of the camp knew it from prior flash-flooding incidents). Relying on alerts is foolish because they often don't work.

I don't believe any job is truly safe from AI. It is extremely difficult to predict how AI is going to disrupt the jobs of the future, and I would not recommend pursuing a career or job pathway simply because it seems to be "less likely" to be affected by AI, because the truth is we really don't know.

The only real answer is to never stop learning and keep growing your skills. Never stand still and assume that you've "made it."

Then AI comes along and makes 10,000 very similar versions of your song, and offers it to bars & restaurants at 10% of the price, then you get no payment at all, yay!

I don't know much about Strava, but I am curious if your running routes & details are public by default, if it "insists" that you make it public, or if these officers knowingly opted-in to sharing their data? Either way, it should probably be banned from any devices being carried by the officers. That, and Venmo, too (https://www.tag24.com/politics/politicians/pete-hegseth-hit-with-latest-embarrassment-as-venmo-list-leaks-3357755).

What about when AI designs a toilet that doesn't need unclogging, or pipes that require less maintenance in the ocean...? We should all be able to work fewer hours per week and have a better standard of living, but unfortunately it seems AI is a tool being designed to increase the wealth of the already rich and throw everyone else out onto the street.

Bill Clinton left office with a budget surplus, not a $3 trillion+ bill for his grandchildren. And key services, particularly those for the poor, continued to function.

My current Christian church allows use of birth control and has generally no serious qualms with sex outside of marriage (between truly consenting adults who are not married to other people). I can't understand why, for example, the Catholics, can't change their tune too on these issues given that huge percentages of the practicing Catholics do these things. Why they let (supposedly) celibate old men lead them further down this path of hypocrisy is beyond me.

Monty Python...always a classic!

Fixed that for you.

Huge majorities of sexually-active Catholics have used birth control (https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/257670/why-do-so-many-catholics-use-artificial-contraception-experts-weigh-in).

In Jesus's time, the only true "birth control" was to not have sex. But, since nearly 50% of people at that time died before the age of 15, they needed huge numbers of births for the basic survival of the species. In addition, women were basically owned by their husbands (or fathers), and had limited opportunities to earn a living on their own, hence the "no sex outside of marriage" rule (which is also not followed by an increasingly growing number of Christians, since it was a rule based on a certain time and place, not a universal theological finding).
