I'd guess he also needs reading glasses to read the small text on smartphone screens.

There are people half his age that do.

And if Trump hadn't previously withdrawn from an agreement that would have limited Iran's nuclear program, the war would probably not have happened either.

I think that AR glasses could be very useful for professional use, such as industrial applications and in other limited environments. But that's it.

Smartphone users clogging up walkways or walking out into traffic have been a nuisance for decades.
I predict that AR-glass users out and about would only get worse.

And then there's the spying issue. You can't tell what the glasses are doing. When there are many different brands out there all different and you can't learn them all, so you'd have to expect that they are filming you when you don't want to.

Just ban them all in public, except perhaps for people with special needs (who could wear e.g. bright red ones with polkadots -- that nobody else wants to). That would be better for everyone.

I'm sure that if mathematicians had wanted to replace themselves with computers then they would have applied traditional logic-solving algorithms to solving maths problems for them -- and done it with a fraction of the computing resources.

When you're a grey-haired woman that looks a little old, you can get away with pretending you didn't hear, or that you are a little confused.

and you can still say your message.

If you do the numbers, you see that with the new method you'd need about 80% as many attempts as before. That's still much.

... But it is for surveillance of the population, so it does not rise up.

When the official current AI business model fails, what else would the infrastructure be useful for?

It is already being done. Anthr*pic is already being used to spy on protestors.

That statement is idiotic.

Touch screen interfaces tend to be modal dialogs: one dialog at a time.
If the controls instead are available all the time (in the physical world), then it becomes easier to multitask.

If Russia wasn't such a hostile country, flights would have been able to go over Russia instead of the North Pole and flight crew and passengers wouldn't have needed to be as much exposed to cosmic radiation.

I have been told that a flight across the North Pole would expose you to about the same amount of radiation as a CT scan, but I haven't checked the figures.

BTW. I'm planning to fly over the North pole twice next month anyway, because I have chronic latent blood cancer and I'm not going to live forever.

In this case, however, the border crossing officers hadn't been looking for evidence of criminal activity.

They had been looking for names and contact information of anti-government protesters.

The motive for the search was for conducting unconstitutional activities. By giving them a duress password, the owner of the phone was protecting people from being victim of potential crimes.

I wish I could afford a shovel. I have a hole to dig.

That robot reminds me of a RealDoll.

Perhaps they were already building sexbots and are diversifying into new markets.

OpenAI already logs everything you do with their service, and this keypad can only be used with OpenAI.

We all know that a mouse moving in a perfectly straight line means a machine is controlling it [...]

Unless your mouse has angle snapping or is a wireless mouse and there is movement lag because of interference.

You should do it the other way around.

Running Windows directly on hardware is not viable in 2026. You should only run it in a virtual machine under Linux.
Then you would be able to roll back from buggy Windows updates and malware outbreaks.
