better to not have that data on you when you cross certain borders

How about any border? Even more generally, at any situation, when the ordinary rights do not obtain...

I wonder, what the long term consequences of obtaining — and using — this skill are, if any... Does it make one smarter? Or faster? Does it reduce — or increase — the risk of developing Altzheimer? Does it affect personality in any way?

Also, can the skill be lost — if not regularly used — or is it more like bicycle-riding?

I misunderstood you too.

That attitude is exactly what's wrong with most of you people in America. You think that society exists for corporations to make money off people. In the rest of the world, we believe that society's sole justification for existence is to serve its people. We call it the social contract.

Our differences cannot be reconciled.

Social media per se isn't an ideally useful concept. We humans are adapted to living in small communities of between 20-50 people at the most. Large community communication systems such as social media are unnatural environments that cause dysfunctional outcomes and behaviours in humans when used. That's what we're seeing today.

So no, I don't believe that social media can be done "right".

"It" doesn't exist as a legal entity. The legal entity that organized the hack was OpenAI.

You would if you were stranded in the steaming desert for days!

That's what caffeine pills are for. They taste like nothing, so it's easy to taper down once you quit coffee.

It's stupid to prepare on day 1 for extended serving capacity without measuring the demand beforehand. If there's demand, the system can be scaled appropriately as and when it arises. The alternative of planning immediately for worldwide demand which may never show up is less efficient.

Tell me more! Can I subscribe to your old AI model instead?

You'd think that a university agricultural reference for the public would be in the top rankings when searching for a specific variety of vegetable, but apparently today, that's no longer the case.

Sadly, everyone likes an eggplant!

If you brake, that which was traveling forward wants to keep traveling forward. If anything, I'd expect the outer edges of the door to fly forward, i.e., more open.

Even if you were right, it probably would work only if the door is very open, but not ajar.

Yet traditional cab drivers don't monitor their passengers to make sure they are awake and alert and not reporting any distress the entire trip

Of course not. That's not the scenario. The scenario is waking the driver upon reaching the destination. A taxi driver could physically shake the person.

I can't currently imagine what that would be to get me to go along with the idea you have any claim against them.

Somebody, somewhere can.
