Building codes exist for two reasons:

insurance companies got tired of the expense of covering death traps.

those buying a house don't want to buy a death trap - or more specifically the banks making the big loans to buy a house didn't want to be stuck losing everything when that death trap falls apart or goes up in flames killing the 'owner' leaving the bank with nothing but land with a junk pile.

Sure, codes indirectly protect your life - but make no mistake they exist primarily so that your debt can be paid back.

what happened? Corporations and Lawyers.

That little quote is exactly how useful current AI can be, for entertainment only. Anything serious is just asking to be set up the bomb.

bad speculation It may be internally our brain lumps groups together waiting to hear the voice center finish (put reading out loud joke, lips moving etc. here), where it then sends the next one. Without the auditory cue is it the same? Sorry I can be bothered to read the article, my lips are tired.

Satire can be legally produced as long as it is acknowledged or obvious as satire. Or at least it used to be legal.

Better than the CGI riddled poorly acted 'plot' reruns that accounts for most of today's new crap.

They have linear plots, and the plot doesn't require jumping back to the past to tell the story.
They have better acting, granted this is just one opinion.
They are re-watchable because the characters have, um, character.
The movies are self-contained and don't require knowing a universe just to understand the plot or who the fuck the characters actually are.
The audio is usually better on a watch-ability level. You can understand what is said without captions because the audio mixing is correct and the actors know how to pronunciate.
Characters that you actually can root or care for.
This is personal taste, but the actors were more attractive, but maybe that's because we didn't have HD so good you could see every imperfection and pimple.

AI can't even write that bad.

NOT doing an in-person face to face interview is the epitome of lazy.

Wait. What century are we in? Oh right, you can choose any color you want so long as it is black or white. Well, sometimes black - but we are forcing it on apps that are not inclusive.

We are already having near shortages thanks to AI data centers, whose infrastructure build-out is being mostly paid for by residential customers through rate hikes.

Well played.

If your bank submitted a summary once per month whereby you can approve the whole thing or single one out for discontinuing, is it really that much of a hassle?

Wow people are lazy with their money today.

We have the tech now. Every time a subscription needs to be paid the customer should have to authorize the payment. This cancel subscription game crap should no longer even be a thing legally speaking.

Pay attention to a money hoarder that loves to get dividends but hates to pay them. He embodies what is wrong with capitalism.

now that is micro-economics. not even three weeks!
