What are the chances that the robot was being controlled by a human and not AI? There have been a lot of "demos" of AI robots that it turns out is a guy in another room controlling it. If I had to bet money, that is what was happening here as well.

There are some apps that only run on Windows. Also, Windows is the standard in government and corporations.

I have all that already in FreeBSD. But, I guess it's all about the apps.

IMO: this would be so much better than being bedridden, or needing constant care. He was active and in good spirits until his final days.

Google AI Overview:

Allow me to posit the following: we could very well be minding our own business but still strongly influence the rest of the world. For example, if a company wishes to do business in America -- the world's largest and most lucrative commercial market -- they must comply with US laws. This is no different than any other country. You may not like it, but that's how commercial business works, and it'd be no different if someone like North Korea had the market everyone wanted. You'd just be complaining about a different country.

Don't like it? Don't do business in the US and you're free to do whatever you want. You'll be excluding yourself from probably 70% of the available market, but you're free to make that choice.

Don't forget, your argument can be turned around quite easily: you could mind your own business and stop trying to tell the US how to do business according to your wants/needs. Funny how that works.

You're blissfully unaware of how national sovereignty works.

Good luck getting the US to accommodate an Interpol extradition request for 4chan and its personnel. There's no reason the US would agree to it since 4chan has violated no US law. So long as 4chan operates in the US exclusively and violates no US laws, they are effectively beyond the reach of the UK government. They could presumably nab some 4chan executive if they ever visited the UK, but all one has to do to avoid that is just not visit the UK.

This is how international legal disputes have been handled since the dawn of international legal disputes. Don't trust me, look it up, I'm sure chatgpt can fill you in.

I would think animation is much cheaper now.
In the age of AI, I could hardly imagine everything being hand drawn.

I think good writers, and actors, can recreate such chemistry.
For a few episodes, I would have the original cast there, in some capacity, at least for cameos.

Why not something like "Firefly TNG?" It worked for Star Trek.

This shows the real issue with AI. It isn't in the AI itself, but the people using it. I don't have an issue with them using AI to try and identify the suspect when they are having a hard time doing so. But you can't just take what AI says and assume it is correct and act on it. AI is a tool and needs to be used as such. When it gives you something, it is up to the people to actually check out what it says and follow up on it. People are using AI as if it is the answer but it is just a tool to try and get to the real answer and that is the part that people are ignoring.

It's about time they admitted to something that was obvious to almost everyone: nuclear power is the only effective path to carbon-free base load power generation. Wind and solar make good intermittent sources, but base load has to be utterly reliable regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. That's nuclear.

Getting rid of the nukes was a knee-jerk reaction, not a smart technological decision. The pivot to depending on oil and gas from a potential hostile neighbor just added to the madness.

Correlation is not causation.
Bird population could be dropping because of invasive species, urban encroachment, or other reasons.

I used to get flocks of dozens of gold finches. I still put out the feeders. But I don't think I have seen a gold finch in 3 years.

When Obama (aka "deporting in chief") was doing it, the left was fine with it.
Obama deport twice as many illegals as Trump.
Politicians which have spoken out strongly in favor of secure borders include: Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Dianne Finstein - among many others.

How long can you do that? Six months? Also, do you have to pay income tax in whatever other country?
