To optimists, robots could rescue U.S. manufacturing by increasing productivity, solving shortages of skilled workers and giving Western carmakers a fighting chance at competing with Chinese rivals that enjoy lower costs.

American auto manufacturers exclusively make cars which have very little marketability other than in the U.S. itself. "Increasing productivity" and "solving shortages of skilled workers" is not going to magically make the Chinese or Koreans want to buy lots of F-250s.

Hillary and Hunter conspired to provide material aid to Chinese-military-aligned drone manufacturers by funneling money through a chain of child-trafficking, pedophile-controlled pizza parlors!

It's so obvious!

I wish we could just press a single button and it would feed their genitals into a wood chipper.

Nah, it's just that a whole bunch of people simultaneously tried desktop Linux... then, right afterward, most of them immediately gave up.

Only 1.25 Trillion compared to the nearly 20 trillion in debt Trump put on the country.

Go fuck yourself.

#1 in homelessness? Wouldn't be that way if lying ass red states weren't one-way busing people over here. Yea we're picking up YOUR fucking slack, loser.

#1 in Poverty? Uh you mean Puerto Rico, followed by Louisiana and then Mississippi.

#1 in highest taxes? On $100,000 income, Alaska ranks #1 with the lowest total tax while Oregon has the highest. California ranks #41.

#1 in lowest literacy rates? Nope! Most people can READ THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE. They are not illiterate. Language is the primary driver of NOT KNOWING ENGLISH versus schooling.

Lying ass Republican fucks.

>"unsolicited telemarking calls are banned in France unless consumers explicitly consent to them."

And we kinda have that in the USA as well. Plus possible fines. Plus a do-no-call registry. Plus other stuff.... And nothing changed. Companies claim "existing relations." Or they sneak something into fine-print that you sign. Or they call from out of jurisdiction. Or they just don't care and do it anyway, however they like.

There is no easy way to report them, and really no teeth. It is sad. I wish we could just press a single button and it would submit them automatically to a central database and we had an agency that would look for large offenders and nail them. (Same for text). But not gonna happen.

Maybe France will fare better. But I kinda doubt it.

Also don't forget the film and TV industry settled there in large part because of the reliable climate - it doesn't matter as much with inside studio recording, but there's a lot of exterior filming that happens on those huge back lots for pretty much every show and movie. Compared to SoCal, Texas heat is absolutely brutal - and Geogia/Tennessee heat + humidity + thunderstorms + tornado warnings + whatever will make it miserable - not to mention the very real costs related to all those delays that will need to be factored in.

Oh, and he'll probably need the target state to donate a lot of land to replace all those back lots Paramount currently owns...

You know, when I wrote the post, I was thinking about "well, there is systemd..."

Are there a bunch of down-on-their-luck ski instructors cold-calling people in France for some reason?

They die more often (and at a younger age) from gunshot wounds and traffic accidents.

I kid, I kid...

>"and the likes of Amazon, Samsung, and other phone manufacturers may also want to put their stores in front of potential customers. "

Samsung has had their own store integrated into all their phones/tablets for a loooong time. That isn't news. So I think perhaps the phrase was meant that Samsung might want to also be able to put their store onto non-Samsung phones/tablets.

Actually, the article states that the AI agent was "asked if it was possible to move him to the top of the list" (the guy was initially fourth on the list). So yeah, it was actually asked to "seek avenues around it".

The guy (who, by the way, sells AI products and probably sees all this as PR) didn't seem to have problems with cheating.
