I only wonder if pocket calculators are still not allowed during exams as we must ensure our student's ability to do their sums and differences.

Just like the movie. A nuc is just another tool in the tool box. And as an AI has nothing at risk, the only reward is to win.

What else should be needed besides all of the text books used in an intelect's training all the way from See Dick and Jane all the way through 4 year college degree of your choice?

I live in Southern California as well but we come from the cold country and still manage to put 2 cars in a double garage. I might consider an EV were it not for the fire hazard of having an EV in your garage. The potential of one of those LI powered, charging EVs lighting off in my garage and destroying my house (and me) totally puts me off from ever buying an EV. T2

Seems that we are needing traffic cop for our planet. Imagine a highway with no rules.

Ok, lets consider intelligence, artificial or "real". Lets feed the AI all the books of learning from Dick and Jane all the way up to a PHD in your choice. One copy each. From your local/high school/college book store. I'm sure the AI people would not object to the cost so far. The lets set the AI up with a normal speed internet connection and let it explore for, say 10 hours per day. Ok, so now, we have a trained AI. I see no copyright issues here not found in a child genius with a perfect memory. T2

Makes sense. China has lots of cheap labor to keep busy and maintain the national power structure. T2

Not so much. Only if it was REALLY being there. T2

Not an issue. When you get to checkout, you pay the latest price. Unless you kept that log I mention above. You kept that time stamped log, didn't you? Could have 3 prices in play. When you pick up the first item, the second and when you finally get to the checkout stand. You kept that log didn't you?

Since pretty much all retail above the mom & pop level have eliminated item pricing and gone to bar code pricing, the automation of price changes will have little if any practical effect on the consumer. It would take a very special consumer to carefully log the shelf price of each item as it goes into the basket and then compare that log with the scanned price at checkout. I really wonder how many retailers have been prosecuted under the laws forbidding charging more at the register than the shelf label.

The most difficult tests in my memory were open book tests. The standard instructions were "bring anything but a live friend". Seems that AI now is a live friend. T2

An AI as we have come to know and perhaps fear it is an employee of those (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, DOD etc)who train, feed and house it. An AI must be trained with data, provided with cpu/memory and power to "live" and is provided by it's employer with access to the levers and controls of the world outside. Look to the employers to provide wisdom, values and morals to their AI employees as we look to parents, schools and society to provide morals, values, wisdom to our children.

And if you do, failure is virtually guaranteed. Of course unless your parents own the company. Study To be a good engineer and let your ability and personality take you where it can.

Seems like a pretty simple solution to all of this is to just remove/disconnect the roof-top antenna.

And the blind shall lead the blind and both shall fall in the ditch....
