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.

Means test entry into public (government run) schools. Only indigents may enroll. Then, eliminate school buses.

It's a statue reminding Detroit of the fabulous dystopia it could have been, rather than ghost town dystopia it became.

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

Sure.. But this was the wrong stop. The buck should have stopped at the studio. The simple fact is that HBO didn't fuck up. They aired the right show & the right episode contained in the video file (I'm assuming it's that simple now) they were given by the studio or distributor. What HBO didn't do, and has absolutely no obligation to do, is check to make sure that it was a "final" version and not a working or rough copy. Are they really supposed to watch it, in real time, looking for production errors?

Beyond scanning it to make sure there's no hard-core porno embedded in it, it's not their job to make sure the studio didn't send out a rough copy..

No no no... We're not talking about not checking to make sure it's the right video and they're not about to air pornography or a snuff film. C'mon.

This was the right show... It was the right episode... But it was an uncut or unfinished version.

I hope you're not suggesting, for one moment, that HBO is supposed to watch the whole damn thing looking for shit like "a props guy was visible in a scene". That's what I'm saying. I don't expect HBO to do anything beyond "Is this the right show? Right episode? Okay, roll it... "

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.
