Nah, this is more like working at a company that measures your productivity in LoC typed. People making shit long-winded just to game the numbers.

Can't wait to hear about some big incident because someone automated something unnecessarily to increase their token usage. It will be literally the fault of these policies regarding AI adoption.

In no way is shaking better than clicking, people will do it accidentally all the time to activate AI they likely don't even want.

The AI will have to look at your screen to see what you are pointing at. So pretty much user-triggered Microsoft Recall that is automatically shipped off your machine to Google.

Funny enough, I saw an article not that long ago saying that America's interest in pizza was falling, because of how tough things had been for the pizzeria business.
No, America still loves pizza. What happened is all restaurants have been ratcheting up their prices the last 20 years while the quality of frozen pizza has been improving. Combine that with current economic issues and more people are choosing a frozen pie they bake at home over going out now.

I know people who work in new york, but "live" in say kentucky and that's how it exactly works. And they are not even rich to get special teams of lawyers. Granted newyork and cali who's been chasing away people have tried to create more laws to still rape people leave pelenty of loop holes for the rich to not get caught.

Even when I traveled a lot, I spent greater than 70% of my time in another state, my state of residence didn't change.

actually what many companies do is the products (say TV) being sold at different stores at almost the exact same thing. Almost., just different enough to not be the exact same thing.

Can't price match different items(even if they are really the same thing)

Within moments, a smoke detector wails. But in this demonstration, something less common happens: An AI-driven sensor activates and wall emitters blast infrasound waves toward the source of the fire in an attempt to put it out.

So, why was the AI necessary here (besides to hype up potential investors)? The smoke detection or thermal sensors can locate a specific zone the fire is in and turn on the countermeasure directly. Is there a reason we can't just dumb-flood the whole room with the sound suppression (the same way the sprinklers we're trying to replace would)?

Also, what would an adobe home be "undesirable", other than you're a dumbass?

Most people don't want to live in a house made of dirt. Besides perceived concerns about the durability of the structure itself, it's just a matter of public perception. Living in a house made of earthen materials brings to mind settlers in mud-brick homesteads. That's not the modern living folks want. Many people buy homes with the idea of it being an investment they will resell in the future. If people don't find your home desirable you'll have a harder time selling down the line and wont get as much in return. Same reason people don't paint their house exterior hot pink.

I have a book somewhere around here from the '70s about building your own home by building into a hillside essentially (so the majority of the structure is semi underground). This style of building has obvious benefits when it comes to weather resistance and climate control. But the home you end up with is somewhat a cave with little natural light. The couple in the photograph on the cover could pass for many a neckbeard of today and his wife was shown sewing like some survivalist bride trying to maintain a home where commercial electricity isn't a thing. This is not the image people want emulate.

The only time you get something cheap on eBay is if it's something no one else wants.

Lots of sellers on eBay are operating storefronts for the same merchandise on Amazon and selling on Walmart and NewEgg's sites as third-parties, too.
Sellers go where the people are and the products are the same even if the prices are varied according to platform fees. Most "unique" content on eBay is individuals selling single items and not running a small business, just like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace.
