Why do these people even bother to make up bullshit excuses for taking our money? Leave the "AI" part out and just announce that you're writing yourself a few checks at the taxpayers' expense.
Take what you want. Take it all! Just stop lying about it. It's not like you're fooling us anyway.
I'm doing my part! (Every time I see a window and a conveniently-nearby rock, I throw the rock at the window.)
What you don't do: slow down
...officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed to state health departments that the ongoing measles outbreak at the border of Arizona and Utah is a continuation of the explosive outbreak in West Texas...
Why are there still competent people at CDC who are able to do this? Anyone who knows anything about anything, was supposed to have been fired months ago and replaced by incompetent flunkies.
Commander Putin's orders have been very clear about completely disarming all American capability, whether it's in our health systems, military, or infrastructure. Who is the pro-American traitor in our midst, disobeying orders to destroy the USA?
If we're going to disobey Putin's orders, then won't he kill or embarrass our president? That must not be allowed to happen!!
It's just a bunch of AI voices reading text files. Nothing really useful with that yet.
I checked their catalog - it's a useless pile of slop.
Here's an example: A boring reading of a text about Havana Syndrome.
I was expecting automatic clones in the like of Wolf 359... well we're not there yet.

My jaw drops, but then I split. Half of me remains smugly looking down on fuckwits, but the other half hears that Samuel Adams' Utopia, which costs about the same, is supposedly showing up in CostCos, and while I can't justify getting a bottle
No.
No, it would still be stupid to do.
It's not a dumb idea by itself, only overpriced.
It is a dumb idea. You store the phone at a location where it's easy to lose, but hard to get when you need it. Indeed, movement of the ankle while walking will slowly push the phone out of the pocket. And when you need your phone (for texting, or for accessing the internet), you need to kneel all the way down to get it.
Suck/not-suck aside, would you at least agree that it's as good as The Mandalorian?
Eyeball monster == Baby Yoda. So. Fucking. Cute.
The second movie, Aliens, also didn't have the mood of the first movie, yet was still one of the best movies ever made (IMHO! of course). I don't think the feel of the original is necessary in sequels, and might even be so hard to recreate that it's borderline hubris to try.
I'll probably watch it
.. when I feel like doing nothing and thinking the presence of the xenomorph is a coincidence.
I think that is the best attitude one can take. The "domestication" of the xeno is the weakest part of this TV series, but OTOH, the inclusion of all the new monsters is part of what makes A:E so fun. The classic xeno is just one monster among many, now.
There are so many horrible ways to die. Show us more of them, Noah!
Nobody wants your shitty iOS. People tolerate it on phones, because you taught them that it's ok for PCs to suck if they fit in one hand. But once the one hand constraint is lifted, people come back to their senses for some weird reason. You did too good a job of persuading people to treat phones as weird exceptions to common sense, when you should have undermined common sense itself (but that would have harmed Mac sales).
Let's work with the argument's load-bearing phrase, "exploration is an intrinsic part of the human spirit."
There are so many things to criticise in that single statement of bias. Suffice it to say there's a good case to be made that "provincial domesticity and tribalism are prevalent inherited traits in humans", without emotional appeals to a "spirit" not in evidence.
What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman? A used car salesman knows when he's lying.
