How many of the 1m+ listens were actual humans and how many were bots specifically created to "listen" to the output of a bot?

1. Use AI to make a track
2. Use an army of bots to "listen" to this track, gaming the chart figures
3. Track trends and actual humans listen because they're sheep, boosting the figures further
4. Automated article generators publicise track across the music press sites inducing more sheep to listen
5. ??? (Spotify pays out)
6. Profit!

Was one of those thoughts "I think he should have an extra large marital AId shoved where the sun doesn't shine"?

How long until we get the interfaces, Mother?

Klaatu barada nikto!

If I can't play it, it's a coaster. I still have enough AOL discs somewhere should I need another coaster.

Given a big enough body of water, it will float.

My old @#&!% PCs still work fine, thanks.

And previously in 1982 for that documentary with Kurt Russell.

> I've had to use so many different layouts of keys (not even counting non-US keyboards), that touch typing wouldn't have helped me much.

Same here. I use a Mac for work and have more than one PC for leisure. All the keyboards are different. Plus I have some wireless keyboards I use occasionally. They're different again.

If I'd learnt to touch type on the first computer I ever programmed on it would have been particularly useless for the future (Sharp MZ-80K). Plus, try to touch type on a ZX81, I dare you.

Oh, they do. Problem being that tends to be exclusively what they are doing (until they look at their phone, of course) when they should also be looking where everybody else in the immediate vicinity is going. You're lucky if they even bother looking where they've been.

"However, the robots weren't acting autonomously just yet, as they were being remotely controlled by human operator teams."

So, Real Steel, then.

I was late to the party to get a 5 digit UID (lurked too long, mea culpa) but used Pocket just like the cool kids who posted above did. But never as part of Firefox.

That's not just silent letters but an entire silent syllable, like Leicestershire.
Cholmondeley has two silent syllables as well as other silent letters, Featherstonehaugh goes even further and moves letters to a different place for pronouncing.

To hear that properly, it must be played on kazoos by a juvenile jazz band, such as the Pelaw Hussars in Get Carter (1971). True audiophiles listen to it naked with a loaded shotgun.

Buy it in UK / EU and have it shipped over. There's ads all day for BYD vehicles over here. Not so much Huawei, they don't seem to bother that much when there's so many ads for Apple, Google and Samsung devices already.
