You must live in a rough neighborhood!

If I really thought my garage door was up, I'd just text my neighbor to ask if it was down. We've got each other's house keys in case we need them. No way I'd want to live in a neighborhood that required me to lock up _that_ tightly!

Sure, you could do that. But you'd also have to open up an inbound route through your firewall. And who's going to write such an app, that also requires writing a server? If you can do all that, then go ahead and make your app and your server, and connect the server to a servo that connects the circuit of the hard-wired switch on the garage wall. That's a whole lot of work to control your garage door remotely.

Is to be able to close my garage door, or confirm that it's closed, after leaving on a trip. Other than that, I'll just go to the garage and hit the button. That is something you'd actually need a centralized server (app) to do.

Maybe you should stay away from slashdt too, because it's in the cloud!

Came here to say exactly this. Funny how Warner Brother's keeps getting acquired by tech companies that imagine themselves to be movie studios. Tech companies keep forgetting that they are good at...tech. Being a successful movie studio is a very, very different thing. Companies do best when they stay in their lane.

Congress gets the power to regulate AI blocks via the Constitution, Article I, Section 8:

I don't see this specific issue as an infringement of states' rights, as AI regulation is definitely "commerce."

Or was it fresh?

I'm telling you, people are so rude. They're leaving gum stuck to things even in space now!

Sugars and gum!

Yeah, apparently lying works better when it's a chatbot doing it, than when it's a scripted TV commercial doing it.

I don't think so. This is like saying that the more a professional builder uses power tools (instead of hand tools), the less competent they become. It might be true that they become less competent with hand tools, but that is not the same as being less competent as a builder.

Few developers these days know how to code in assembly language. There was a time when developers mourned the loss of this skill too.

At least lawyers aren't just "picking on" self-driving cars, they sue plenty of human drivers too.

Ironic, right?

Yes, low regulatory hurdles are precisely what has allowed green energy to flourish in Texas. But that hasn't stopped Texas politicians from blaming green energy for the state's electricity problems. https://www.texastribune.org/2... And he's tried to exclude it from any economic incentive programs. https://www.texastribune.org/2...

quantaman was implying that humans would not be able to again move because all the good lands were already taken. It might not be as easy to farm in west Texas as it is in east Texas, but it's very possible.

A competent developer can use AI very effectively to speed up their work.
An incompetent developer might use AI, but you still won't be able to trust their work.

Why is being a doctor any different?

AI is a productivity tool. If you know how to use it properly, it's a good thing. If you don't, it won't transform you into a competent professional.

This is an important point.

A competent doctor will be competent with or without AI.
An incompetent doctor will be incompetent with or without AI.

AI is a tool, not a measure of competence or effectiveness.
