...but China is? LOL. Just say it. They are giving you a ton of money and letting you do morally ambiguous work that wouldn't be been allowed in the US. China is not a free and open society and they do not welcome outsiders (unless they have very specific skills). Best of luck to you.

All the good things happening in nuclear right now is with small modular reactors, not the large mega projects. This is just par for the course for our President. /sigh

Actually, any old parking lot will do. I could take my 10 year old to a shopping center and put them behind the wheel of a car and set them loose and he would not be breaking any traffic laws. Now, I'm sure I could get in trouble for some reckless endangerment of a minor, but I would counter if he completed his driving wreckless, it wouldn't be endangerment :)

Dang, I think I'm raising my two boys to be the last analog kids in the world. One just bought a set of encyclopedias from a thrift store this weekend, while the other fixed our leaky kitchen faucet. Neither have a cell phone or any social media accounts.

...you've got nothing to fear. I guess that doesn't hold true any longer. Truth is it was never true.

I wouldn't trust the big streamers not to Woke it up and ruin it. So while I'd love to see more Startgate, I'm glad we don't have to deal with "the message"

If this were being used to catch those that pass a stopped school bus and only a stopped school bus, I would support. Here is how it ought to work. Camera records when the stop sign comes out. If no cars pass, video gets deleted immediately, otherwise it gets sent to the local PD.

No issue with this use case.

Mass surveillance, this is an issue.

Ya...that's some recession. A really deep recession. None of this is about AI, it's about profits. Companies have a "free" pass to cut their workforce and blame it on AI and they are doing just that.

"Who won the 2020 Election?" I think we all know what answer will be acceptable to the White House.

I saw an AI generated video of a bird getting killed by a wind turbine, so it's a very real concern,

I have an idea, let's take heat from the ground and pump it into the atmosphere! You want global warming, I got your global warming! Yes, I understand that the global warming we are most concerned about is with regards to a runaway greenhouse effect, but it is worth nothing that EVERYTHING in modern society produces waste heat.

IDK - Maybe they meant TSMC? That would be my guess.

Dear MS,

You may pay me $100,000 to never work for you, this way you don't have to lay me off.

Thank you.

"Be Evil" as a corporate philosophy... I guess that works for some.

The Falcon 9 has been launched 640 times with 637 mission successes (one of which was successfully delivered one payload, but not it's second). This does not include one pre-flight failure. The operational success of the Falcon 9 is nothing short of amazing. It's chasing the R-7 family (Soyuz-U, Kosmos-3M, Proton) at over 1800 launches. The R-7 has an estimated success rate of 97% which is amazing giving the technology at the time it was designed.

The Falcon 1 had 5 launches and 3 failures.

Now Starship..LOL! That's a whole lotta mess there.

It's a great time to be alive.
