Especially by those who are clueless what it actually is. How it works. How it can be useful. What to watch out for (hallucination, etc).

And watching the company execs who fired a bunch of people cos AI can "do their work / help the other staff to do their work", and finding out a while later that they actually need those people back cos (surprise!) AI can't do the whatever work and they screwed up.

Why are the agents even allowed to contact random people on their own? Or in other words, allowed to take random action in the real world on their own?

At the least the emails should have been on hold and vetted by actual humans before being sent out.

Don't worry, by the time a war happens there, global warming will have happened and everyone will be rushing there to get nice territory which stays a decent 25 degrees celsius year round ;)

Assuming what you said about the Linux drivers are true (dont know as I have not really tried gaming in Linux in years), you got an option of no ray tracing and poor ray tracing under linux.

Sounds like poor wins in this case (again, assuming your statement is true, having no direct experience with gaming in Linux in years).

Maybe someone doesnt want to piss off the current political powers?

That could be a reason for use of that crypto.

The price difference could be due to charging what the local market can handle.

You may get to sell alot of vehicles for 35k USD (in Europe, US, Canada, etc), but not as many in China or India for example. So you either make a cheaper version(local manufacturering / features / functionality) or if your margins are good enough, you can afford to price it lower for the market which is more sensitive, or you dont get to sell as much.

Maybe this will force the change from car culture in the US?

And US exported vehicles will be less useful outside the US over time (since they will probably lag technologically compared with other car companies who have been looking at EVs and other things).

It will be interesting to see how long the established car makers in the US can survive with just the local market available and not being able to compete externally.

Now imagine what someone with a budget can do.

Imagine some group/individual created a video of a similar attack like Sept 11 in some other well known buildings in the US. Maybe have it show Trump being injured, and making a statement about fighting back and killing whoever he doesnt like currently (Democrats? LGBT? People who don't look white?)

You can bet there will be mass panic/rioting in some parts of the US. And a bunch of people will be killed.

Wonder what will the response be after that.

Is the US viewpoint the "only true viewpoint" for the entire world?

Will it be fine if EU starts demanding that particular European views to be propagated within the US?

Since Amazon owns Amazon cloud, if Amazon uses Amazon cloud, does it mean it's using it's own servers and data centres?

So, local control basically?

Last I checked, Greenland is part of Europe.

And Trump has been making statements that US needs Greenland. And has not taken invasion off the table as an option. (not to mention similar for Canada).

So, dont think that it is 100% sure that US will not invade Europe.

What makes you think the next admin will not be lead by JD and keeps on doing whatever is going on now?

1 mil lines of code per engineer per month means no human review of most of the code, at all.

They already got rid of the QA department some years ago. Are they planning to get rid of the engineers as well? Maybe in the end they are planning for managment to tell "AI" what they want and for it to automagically create the software with zero human review of anything?

No QA. No Engineers. And a "AI" which may just hallucinate anytime and since no human oversight, nobody notices until something goes very bad.

Planned obsolescence?

I used to keep my laptops and mobile phones for longer, when I could just do a simple battery switch. At times I even had a spare battery, so if my device was running out of juice, a swap and I was good to go.

Irritating to have a power bank nowadays. And powerbanks for laptops are too inconvenient generally.

In the pass 15 years or so I have only bought one game on release day.

Dwarf Fortress (but I have been playing the ascii version for years by the time it was on Steam). And maybe a couple of other indie games, cant recall off hand.

Otherwise, most games are 6 months or later. Or games like skyrim was about 10 years later (got the anniversary? special edition? whatever was the latest) on a sale.

I did get a couple of DLCs for X4: Foundations on release day, but otherwise, everyone else can wait a while before I get around to them.
