And you can pretty much guarantee it's going to be used like pepper spray by police, initially introduced as a means of last resort and now casually used whenever you're dealing with someone you don't like. The ranged nature of it makes it even easier to just hose down anyone you can see. It's non-lethal and they're already sunburned, what harm can a little more do to them? Hit 'em again Earl! What 'em squirm!

Bear country? Who cares about bears, this is bat country, all swooping and screeching and diving around the trashcans. No point in mentioning them though, poor renters will see them soon enough.

This is probably the end of Crime Stoppers, or at least a very severe curtailment of the operation. Who would trust them with a tip after this?

And it'll probably take deaths before P3 Global gets sued. Dunno about Canadian law but in the US they'd probably try and claim qualified immunity due to their doing the work for LE.

And how does your personal DVD collection work for the tens or hundreds of millions of people who have rented music/videos while thinking they were buying them?

So it'll be back to All Indians again. That is, the AI will instruct humans in cheap-labour countries to perform the transactions for them, thus bypassing the blocking.

Of course they won't support it, it was proposed by a Democrat. If the Dems proposed a cure for cancer the Retrumplicans would oppose it because it came from the Dems. Thus see Lincoln, A., 16 June 1858.

Yes but are AC's delicious?

Yeah but this is Kash Patel's FBI making the claim. Who knows what the real story is. The whole thing with its vague accusations sounds a lot like scapegoating to me.

However since OpenAI's Wikipedia page clearly states that a rogue agent absolutely definitely pinky-swear didn't do this, I'm inclined to conclude that it's fake news.

Like way too many things these days "owning the libs" isn't a one-off purchase, it's a lifetime non-cancellable subscription, and your children and children's children will be paying for it as well.

Because the EMP will go around an AM radio while taking out FM ones?

For all the people saying "hurr, durr, emergencies!", I've been around for awhile and never in my entire life have I needed an AM radio "for emergencies", and that includes in earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and a (small) tsunami. I carried out an informal poll of a few folks who have been around for rather longer than I have, including one whose life experience goes back almost to the dawn of radio, and none of them could recall ever needing an AM radio "for emergencies" except for the near-centenarian who remembers listening to the radio for warnings about which city the bombers were heading for so they could go down to the cellar. In addition, apart from the near-centenarian, none of them actually owned a radio, or at least new where it was and whether it worked, and the near-centenarian only uses it to listen to Internet streaming because "the AM stations are all rubbish".

Apologies for injecting facts and data into the discussion. As you were.

For me it was looking at the list of updates, there's major new features being added at the rate of one every few days in some cases, there's no way a human is writing the code there.

In that case you die of fenestral plague, not pneumonic plague.
