You can't have faith without first having a belief, and current AIs don't have enough self to have a belief. Not saying anything about next years.

There definitely *is* at least one organism since plants and animals incorporated mitochondria and choloroplasts where the mix reproduces. It's a nitrogen fixing organelle. https://news.ucsc.edu/2024/04/... I believe that Mixostricha paradoxia is also one (with two different incorporated organisms), but I'm not totally sure. There are probably others.
Actually, I believe that's false. I think Mixostricha paradoxia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... is a counter-example.
FWIW, we probably have no real idea of just how common this kind of thing is. It's clearly rare, but just *how* rare? There are lots of tiny beasties living in various niches that we haven't looked carefully at.
Well, the summary was a bit obscure. Was the espionage just spreading information or was it sabotaging it? Either or both are possible.
KDE3 was better an Mate. But that, like gnome2, got updated out of existence. KDE4 had promise at first, but they kept fiddling with it until it didn't. So I, also, use Mate thes edays.
But that's a valid point, as it openly demonstrated intent. It also facilitates induction of those without much prior intent.
OTOH, I suspect that the "prior intent" is there for practically all teen-aged boys.
When do you see human drivers being trustworthy?
I've evaluated my skills as a driver, and over a decade ago I decided that they were not sufficient. I also thought myself a better driver than I think most other people. (I'm sure my skills have declined since I stopped driving.)
If you are really only claiming that AI drivers won't be trustworthy, then I agree. But who bears the risk? And in many situations they are already more trustworthy than many human drivers that consider themselves capable. (Yeah "many situations" isn't sufficient. A driving episode encompasses a huge number of situations.)
That's not clear. One of the big problems with EVs is the ability to charge them. Lots of people don't have any way to do this at home, and the away-from-home chargers are often iffy either in access or availability. (Reports say they are often broken.)
FWIW, I won't be interested in a new car until full-automatic driving is included. So my observation of the market is a bit sketchy. But if I were to buy an EV I'd have no reliable place to charge it.
I wouldn't wager much that your last paragraph is correct. Apple is a large corporation, and different pieces of it don't necessarily talk to each other. This may have been a decision that the marketing department made without checking with legal.
Apple being in the music business breaks the court agreement that they made with the Beatles. Of course, that's probably expired by now, but they didn't wait for that to break the agreement.
I'm not at all sure it's beyond the limits of the technology, but I rather expect that properly training it would be more expensive than the call center.
Are automated agents worse than someone who only reads from a script?
You're correct, but I was thinking of more than one model. My first thought was actually the Komodo dragon style, but that's too big. So on light flyer and a larger ground model Nothing in paleontology actually looks like a wyvern, but I was aiming in that direction.
No. You also need to mod the body to a reptilian pattern. Some of the dinosaurs would make a good model. How about a flame wielding pterosaur?
Actually, I think violet, or a least indigo, eyes are more plausible. All that requires is an additional pigment.
Why did the Roman Empire collapse? What is the Latin for office automation?
