Projecting an exponential curve out 60 years IS a calculation. It's just not a correct interpretation of the data.

Turns out people self-regulate their birth rate better than he thought. South Korea and Japan are experiencing a different problem: too low a birth rate. And China is now realizing their One Child policy was a mistake, as they trained their people to NOT have kids.

Hey! Don't call my sexbot a "clanker"! She hates it when you do that!

The complaining is rote at this point in the stages of grieving: "that's was never considered 'intelligence' anyways!' The thing we now care (and always did) care about is whatever AI is currently NOT doing because we have souls, just not quite all those dummies at Church used to say!!"

How do you see the future of gaming? Interacting with AI agents with per-programmed personalities and responses to everything? Pick you dialog from a list of 4 choices still? It's not going to be like that any more.

So they're violating Apple's MagSafe patent?

Does it have a Thunderbolt 5 port?
