I'm guessing that AI is rapidly replacing open source projects that require a lot of work to tailor to a specific need. Whatever exists as open source has already been assimilated into AI databases. AI knows about open source projects and refers you to them but it wouldn't take much to train AI to reinvent the wheel but not just any wheel. The exact type of wheel you need for what you're working on.

It could be a way for Apple to soak up more of chip manufacturing capacity.

Most movies today are really off-Broadway plays that you'd find in a tiny theater in Manhattan. There aren't too many movies being made with the scope (and production budget) that warrants seeing them in a big theater. We're not getting a Lawrence of Arabia or a Star Wars. Instead, you get a film about two dumbass women who climb an abandoned radio tower and get stuck up there. The entire thing could be on a stage with one set and a cyclorama backdrop. Why spend money on that when you can sit at home and skip it on Netflix?

It's too expensive.

Given the concept of quantum entanglement, what if this molecule influenced the quantum computer to prove its existence even though it doesn't. Let that melt your brain.

This is no different than saying "If we get rid of all of our advanced weapons, our adversaries will do the same." These people have been watching too many TV shows where the good guy puts his gun down and talks his way out of the situation. News flash, kids, the real world isn't scripted.

For years, I had a SiriusXM device in my vehicle. It was fine but it's so effing repetitive and limited. Not to mention that I don't want to hear a damn DJ every other song. Just place some effing music! And why does Bruce Springsteen warranty his own channel let alone any other musician?

Then I switched to Spotify. I like it a lot. The one thing the would make it better is applying AI to song recommendations. Sure, it recommends songs that I haven't heard in decades. It's nice for the nostalgia factor but it rarely recommends anything that wasn't a top-40 or maybe top-100 song at some point. Give me stuff that never made it to the charts. I'm betting that the record labels are secretly ensuring that only songs they pick get recommended. SiriusXM was definitely set up this way. At least with Spotify, you could listen to any album you want and pick your own songs. AI would help democratize music.

Because then our adversaries will do the same. Yeah, that sounds monumentally stupid too.

no one can hear you scream. I'll see myself out.

Okay, granted, it's PBS show so there may very well be important elements to the story being left out but it is worth watching. Nobody wanted to admit that this was a colossal cock-up (to use the British vernacular). It's stunning that it's taken this long to scrap the system and nobody truly responsible or complicit (there were plenty of those) has gone to prison. But hey, at least it's not like an American class-action suit that only makes the lawyers rich while the victims get coupons for discounts to cellphone accessories.

Nope, nothing to see here. Move along.

Seriously? What traitor posted this?

What if you were China and didn't like American companies being successful? Wouldn't that be an incentive to leak the information yourself?

Why did he rob banks? Cuz that's where the money is. Same thing is going on here. Set up the big hydrocarbon companies as the bad guy and the trial lawyers will have a field day. Never mind that everybody uses hydrocarbons and there's no way humanity will ever be able to do without them. What you need to do is torpedo the lawyers.

No, you pay to check a bag because the baggage handlers want more money.
