American's #1 issue these days: Affordability.

The solution? Add another "Tax" on things.

"Slow clap" great job

That's the really sad part. No aftermarket for them since they will all be industrial grade parts not even compatible with home systems.

If they want the public opinion for AI to improve then they need to show that it won't enrich only the wealthy while the public continues to have our wages get flatlined.

These things really need to be shut down. Their just gambling & insider trading by a different name.

This is just another blatant attempt of the executive branch and it's delegated agencies to take control away from the legislative by ignoring the law.

They sure do talk about banning things, but so far I've seen very little done to actually get businesses to BUILD that stuff here. Seems all it will do is cut out choice and raise prices.

Great, just what we needed. ANOTHER "Alexa" type of always listening speaker device.

Or just get some Airpods Pro 3's and use the automatic conversation boost without paying for a subscription?

All you need is ONE mistake with a rocket exploding or failing to get thee waste on an escape trajectory to cause a nuclear material catastrophie. Non starter.

"Protect the children" - the rallying cry for so much BS over the decades.

Remember the days back when we called out China for being a surveillance state and talked about how that would never happen in the "Land of the free"? Yeah.....

Game mechanics can be implemented in so many different ways that they are in themselves an abstraction of an implementation. They should not be patentable.

The latest "How Money Works" video on this put it great:

The same companies warning that a Chinese AI takeover is a generational emergency are also the ones lobbying to sell their best chips into China, the ones telling regulators their products are too harmless to need a liability framework, and the ones actively fighting any regulation that would limit how fast they can scale.

So, these tools exist in some kind of techbro superposition of simultaneously being the most existential threat to American dominance since the cold war while also being too harmless to require any regulation within America itself.

He should have pointed the "evil detector" back at himself.

Having to negotiate with every land owner along the route and every local community that the train will pass through/near is a major part of these cost overruns. If they just eminent domained the whole damn route from the start it would have been far faster and probably cheaper.
