That belongs in a MUSEUM!

Didn't Australia lose a war against Emus?
Moas are even bigger.

What's Randy Quaid been up to lately? For a few years there he was making good progress transforming into a real-life Russell Casse.

Thanks anonymous reader for telling us who Lorde is.
sheesh.

Dreaming of getting 30% of photoshop sales prices instead of 20 bucks for the os messed up a lot of their strategy. Of course it was unrealistic from the start but led to win8 and winrt and everything after that.

Give me ECoin or GO TO HELL!

"Don't Be Evil" - Google 30 years ago

"Be Evil" - Google now.

Always remember to get a receipt when going to the bathroom.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Sixteen Octects

IMHO the fact that we have to, under criminal law, to testify against ourself is a violation of our Constitutional Rights, to not incriminate ourselves.

I'm sure there is some weird legal theory that the government uses to get around this.

ArduPilot is GPL3, dude.
Since the drones were end-user devices, you can direct your complaints to /dev/nul

What you need is the Soldierbot v2.1 license, but that has different, questionable, encumbrances.

Back in my day, I remember:

1. Dr Who figured out the plot using reason and logic.
2. He didn't run around waving his sonic screwdriver like a magic wand.
3. Less running around and explosions.
4. Occasionally he would have a companion not from 20th/21st century Earth.

Also, CGI has gotten so cheap and effective, it's being over used.

I've got my asbestos longjohns on as a precaution, but you know I'm right.

I work for a software company in the UK. About six months ago, they laid off about 50% of the R&D dept with the idea that AI can do the development work instead. Then in recent months, they took the axe to the services and support teams with the idea that AI chatbots can answer customers' queries. We've seen support teams of 10 reduced to a team of 2. Some support teams are now down to one person, who are having to manage 100-200 tickets for the product they are responsible for. Literally no contingency there for holidays and sick days. Nor did they run any of the AI stuff in parallel with humans to see if it was as effective as providing ticket resolutions. Our customers were already getting pissed off at the declining level of support due to other non AI-related job cuts over the past couple of years; they're going to be really pissed off over the next few months and will probably start pissing off.

Sky TV are absolute bastards in that regard. Whenever they re-bid and won the rights to show Premiership games, they put up the cost of all their packages and not just the Sports package to cover the cost of their winning bid.

Things of value are usually rare. The amount of "entertainment" is ever increasing, and thus becoming cheaper and cheaper. Creating MORE isn't going to help.

And with AI starting to be used in the Creation process, that will lower the costs of making it, and start making it widely available to more people in the creation process.

This ends in a death spiral of more and more "entertainment" with less and less perceived value, chasing diminishing returns. I suspect that places like OF will make quick end once AI girls are able to do everything by prompts on the fly for their "users".
