All that you said and also get some of the signs "ready to connect" is all they say on them.

The issue is find the right to private action (your ability to sue personally) to enforce the laws. Arbitration is a thing and it is in basic condensed terms them picking their own private judge (The contract you have with the typical big bad companies usually has another line or so that there is limited discovery; that is they don't care about looking at all the facts) so the ability to enforce the price gouging has those two hurdles to name just two. Just look at gas prices in 2008 and the AG's in some states, they just said "the markets" or industry prices where that way and they found no wrongdoing for then looking into the price history it was charging you about double several months time-frame. Hopefully with anti-trust coming out of dormancy for the better part of 40 or so years there will be some enforcement but it has not happened at the federal level for a few years just over a year ago (just between 2021 and January 2024) but it still can and is to an extent happening at the state level and privately (citizen level).

Just in case this poll is like the at this moment second latest poll (When will AGI be achieved?) and was left up for almost a year (and remained as the "greatest and latest poll at that") and after a few weeks you get "This discussion has been archived. No new comments can be posted." Glad to see this site somehow got a new poll on here. There is so much more than just AI and "stuff that matters" so hopefully there will be diversity in future polls and the future bring not just an AI poll (if the polls continue at all - I'm not holding my breath; I still breath will typing).

There is so much money that in the U.S. Stock market has a handful or two (well it is less than ten as of now) companies out the S&P 500 which is is under two percent of the S&P 500 as far as companies listed there goes and that ends up being around a third of all the market cap. I will let you all insert more / your own words and sentences to describe that most AI use cases which is a boondoggle.

As far as the mostly PI (pretend intelligence) goes it does have a few use cases but is mostly overused in lots of situations. The understanding I have is that it okay in some cases at patterns such as being used as a second option (not a rubber stamp) for detecting cancer screenings. As far large language model if it was so great you would type three to five words and you would use the middle suggested word on a phone and keep taping the next word to finish all your texts / SMS's. The fact that nearly no none does that shows that it is not useful. AI is not something that invents much, if at all. Looking forward to ""The Reverse-Centaur's Guide to AI," a short book about being a better AI critic, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, June 2026" by mouthbeef (reads this site a lot but doesn't post much here on /.) as that book use as critic it the subtitle but most of the books have about a third and some have half the book pages towards solutions so that make him better than most book authors for solving problems and it will have some use cases for it.

There still is some good articles are linked to on this site but it is nice not to have to read every single source like this one take two different companies with the way this /. post is. Kinda going more copy and past than summarizing and editing it. At first I had to reread think efficiency was at play until I halved 150 (side note:I have seen someone in a store get a phone calculator for something as easy as 50% off). Then read the source. I don't digg this summary.

So yes it does seem like I have heard that having a lack of asleep can be similar to being drunk. But I do not get how one got that figured it was both today and 2016 news at the same time when it was neither. Maybe going though a backstory is like being an auditor looking at past years paperwork and confusing dates?

Looking thought the history of edits https://en.wikipedia.org/w/ind... it might of been no-one updated the wikipedia page but it shows "Latest release 14.2 / 30 June 2016"; for the wikipedia version that was November 19th 2018. Even March 25th 2019 edits still show the same in a couple of places on the wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/ind...

Both the sources where not checked as the both have dates years ago (both FOSS and "Slackware"). This just seems like "slacker" to wordplay on the story editor here. Hopefully this was a few off mistakes but it seems to be going on awhile for a trend though more common seems to be the double posting (sometimes updates or others sources can be okay) of a story. Probably does not pay what it used to be because the editors and we took on the powers to be (the Alphabet Incorporated a.k.a. Google to name one) to have decently or better payed editors on here. Anybody seen the editors during any conventions of late (or stories of years ago)?

Issue is during a breach (from this company or any other company that has it) you can't replace your deep vein scan or fingerprints. A cloned or stole ID number of any sort can be changed.

That is why the F-series truck from Ford has a history of being a best seller.

Good to hear what else it was called. I heard the joke from the area there it also might of been the just walk out "AI" was maybe also had another saying it "doesn't work Absent of India"

Or maybe it also would be "There's another tech joke, that "AI" stands for "Absent Indians" – the gag being that the "AIs" you interact with in the world are actually low-waged Indian workers pretending to be bots." https://pluralistic.net/2022/0...

Also "So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: "AI stands for 'absent Indian'"" https://pluralistic.net/2024/0...

There probably is so more links to other sources but I recall him saying that in a interview or podcast so it is not easily searchable because the AI transcripts have a fair amount of errors and he is lots of places; how ironic that AI is okay in some use cases for some applications and is terrible at other use cases, especially the cases that needs at least two or more nines for accuracy, or even one nine five for that matter.

Sorry I was not clear. You can bleed to death is what I was trying to get at depending on how it is used. And also even if it is able to use in a less-lethal way all the time the edge cases such as (I could not quickly find this again) but there is a medical condition where some people who have major issues on even up-to a paper cut that will not stop bleeding with medical care. Back to the main part of conversation though I wonder wonder how long it can be used before excessive - that is deadly - or at what power level (and from what distance for the power level) such is used.

Around where I was it was pizza only on the deliveries. Yes there was plenty of Chinese options but every one was takeout w/ a dine in option. Back then maybe delivery for anywhere in town happened on occasion but if your where in a MRO place (construction, all types of repair shops et cetera) maybe the locally owned parts dealer (that sometimes went by auto parts but they dealt w/ all kinds of business from the big like W. W. Grainger to everything else in town to expedite [for good customers - otherwise it maybe a few hours] whatever you need in town) would get lunch for wherever local (and mark it up - unless it was a sales rep meeting giving you free food) for you if you where an account in good standing if asked.

Is there any big banks there the you and people you know use? As far a Federal in the U.S. cross state banking had a major deregulation in 1995. In many states when I have talked to (and also looked up) in the early 1980s (never did a 50 state tally) at least some, if not more, had laws saying you could not branch out more than 25 miles from the main branch. Last I heard in Germany there where (and hopefully still) quite a few local bread shops. Then again there is the Aldi juggernaut based there. Based on your post it seems two companies for pizza based here threw its weight around but did not make inroads on a sustained basis. We only enforced on any principled basis anti-trust about 3-4 years (2021 to 2024) out of the last 45-ish or so. Any expansion on insights on local stuff would be great.

Maye survive. If it causes bleeding it could depend on how such is used such as power, angle, time used in a given area to name a few.

Part of the issue on AI is it is being used in the American way. A stupid metric used to sell investors is look at how many watts we are using instead of being a bit more efficient; that is for the less common use case of good AI anyways. And the obsession of growth in business in general (where density because an issue). It is appalling how there is history and the near annihilation of lots of the people and culture that has a goal to think seven generations ahead.
