If we only bought local there would be vast empty spaces at the grocery store and our choices would be limited.

I guess I'm a good bit older than you, but I remember growing up, even as a kid I knew what fruits/veggies were in what season of the year.

Sure, we might have not had 24/7/365 varieties , but the shelves were not anywhere close to being "empty".

We grew a lot move all over the US....we ate what was in season.....and nary a complaint was had as to "empty shelves"....

I generally don't have a problem with buying good/decent tasting produce.

I'm old enough to remember buying these items "in season".

I still do that today....I buy things in season that are grown locallly (or at least in the US).

I tend to not buy crap from other countries picked way ahead of ripeness in order to ship shit half way across the world.

So, most of my stuff today still tastes good...read a freaking label my friend.

Is it so hard to put the right letter? n != ñ. It's not an accent, it's a whole different letter.

Well, the problem is...I don't have that letter on my keyboard.

"The sky is falling....the sky is falling...."

Now...where have I heard of that before....?

Hey two birds with one stone....it would cut back most of the fraud in MN....and you'd have money coming IN from the data centers....win win.

For $1.5 million...I could comfortably retire....no more work.

Too hot, too humid, too hilly and junglely. I'd look at Minnesota

Decide what you want...data centers or Somalis?

Ok...how about they offer $1million or so to buy you out of your house and property? Maybe $1.5M...so after taxes you could end up with net $1M or close to it...?

I'd take that deal.

I wonder if lawmakers are going to try to force this shit on HOME users, private citizens running local models and agents...?

I do wonder if some of this Frontier AI push for laws is not only to try to fend off upstart commercial vendors, but also...the home market, since running local models makes $0 for those Frontier/Cloud AI companies......?

comes great responsability. We are not ready. Can we let those AIs compute the meaning of life the universe and everything first? That should keep it busy.

Nah...we already got that one.

Sounds like you're not defending Access so much as ODBC.

It's mighty convenient for you that your claim makes it impossible for you to provide evidence of this outrageous claim.

... is not let AI get into the hands of people like Bill Gates. That, however, is impossible.

Are hammers hitting thumbs?

Are cartons of expired milk invading refrigerators?

Are cars double-parking themselves?

Tools don't spontaneously act....

You forgot...."Are guns killing people?"

Nope.

Pink Slime?

WTF is Pink Slime? The article seems to assume this is a common political term?
