While I agree that deforestation is bad and causes problems, saying "Study Finds" implies far too much certainty
Popularizers of science tend to report speculation, calculation, estimation or simulation as proven truth
Scientists are more careful about presenting their findings

A technology is invented
Good people use it for good, evil people use it for evil
Smart people use it to increase knowledge, stupid people use it for stupid fads
I see great potential for AI in science, engineering, medicine, etc
Unfortunately, the moroons will misuse it spectacularly
Rinse, repeat

Theoretically this could result in the practice known as a "Taint Team" or "Filter Team" to avoid the "taint". This party would not be free to testify but would have the job of performing the search that the warrant asked for. They would theoretically not be allowed to disclose anything they see.

I say theoretically because, well, we can see how this could be abused. And it seems like it would be a pretty awful job to find crimes on someone's device, particularly if those crimes are gruesome or sexual in nature, and not be able to do a damn thing about it.

And I'm sure that the entire idea of the "taint" and the "taint team" will be subject to all kinds of ribald humor, or at least attempts thereof.

Well informed customers know that Amazon defines the word "buy" to mean "rent"
Yes, liars deserve to be punished, but the suit won't fix the problem, it will only make the lawyers rich

...iPad...

Why did they break the pattern and go with Apple Watch?

Quality content is expensive to create and crap is abundant and free
Creators of quality stuff deserve to be paid
It will be interesting to see how this idea works in practice

I find it to be the most useful of all AIs I've tried
I downloaded Comet and never found a use for its fancy features
I would advise Perplexity to stick to what they're good at and abandon the browser project

... where AI can do perfect customer support
Today's AI will be maddening and frustrating
I'm all in favor of developing the tech and deploying it when it's fully tested and reliable
Unfortunately, managers tend to throw immature stuff out in the world and let customers test it, then ignore the angry responses

GREAT SCOTT!

Isn't the whole point of telecommuting that you can enjoy the benefits of being at home, including not having to eat food prepared by someone else at exorbitant prices?

Unlike most of the people that have replied in this general discussion topic, I actually do have a hybrid schedule. It's been my experience with one telecommute-day per week that I usually just prepare lunch at home myself. Sometimes I'll go to lunch with my wife if we're feeling like it.

I've found having ad-hoc meetings is no worse remote than in-person, hitting someone up on the messaging application to ask if they have a minute works fine whether I'm in the office or at home. Just because someone is in the office doesn't mean that they're strictly available as they might well be away from their desk for any of a multitude of reasons.

When I have had the authority to set my telecommute day, I usually choose it for days when I have a ton of remote meetings. It doesn't matter where I am physically sitting when I'm conferencing with people all over the planet for six hours.

Telework/hybrid-work abuse exists because employers are too conflict-averse on a personal level to address it with those employees actually causing the abuse. If someone can't be contacted, or isn't logging-in, or is demonstrably not working on their telecommute day then that should be addressed as a disciplinary issue. Instead upper management doesn't hold their middle-management accountable and chooses to punish everyone instead of just the offenders.

Whether made by people or robots
It's hard to imagine that this will be any worse that all of the other silly fads and trends
It's also hard to imagine that it will be possible to make any money doing it in the future

...studio execs hate creativity
There are plenty of writers and directors with new ideas, but they are ignored as studios prefer reboots, remakes, retelling of old stories and now re-releasing old stuff. People love the old stuff because it was once new and creative

...Microsoft was previously providing vulnerability information and proof-of-concept exploits for those vulnerabilities in systems and software used by American and allied defense contractors' corporate networks and to utility OT networks to a foreign government before patches were widely deployed among those American and allied countries' networks.
