It's the laundry list of regulatory fees that make up much of one's electric bill.

And when the battery cooks off, Starbucks will have even more of that burnt taste.

If this is legitimate but making use of deceased actors and musicians isn't, your argument is invalid. Oh, wait, the estates of those deceased individuals want to keep control of the legacy i.e. be able to keep making money off of it. The penny drops. This has nothing to do with journalism and everything to do with making money.

Also, the story fails to mention what degrees these people have. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of them aren't marketable skills. Even so, universities have a tendency to teach dated subject matter particularly in technical fields.

Just like that interview video going around where the candidate says he went to Stanford University but in reality all did was visit a friend there.

Just started watching this show last week. The best screen writers research the subject matter instead of pulling stupid stuff out of their ass because it would look cool on screen. My guess is that they spent a lot of time at DEFCON and other hacker events so the idea likely has been around for a while. The implementation details are new information.

One has nothing to do with the other. Don't believe me? Try asking your Amazon Echo to set a timer for some cooking task. How much time do you have left? No idea? Yeah, that's what a headless device is going to look like (no pun intended) and an AI version of that will be worse. AI will take the place of an ordinary search engine just as search engines did to brick and mortar libraries. AI won't replace a screen-based map because it can't give you context nor will it allow you to discover something that's nearby. AI gets things wrong just as often as it does something correctly let alone what you really wanted. The difference is that you are able to make a judgement call. Blind trust in AI is as risky as trusting what wikipedia says on some controversial topic. Sure, AI today has all the flash (no pun intended) that websites had in the early 2000s. But it needs a lot more utility than it has now. Humans still need to be able to make decisions. To quote The Moody Blues "Cold-hearted orb that rules the night, Removes the colours from our sight, Red is grey and yellow, white, But we decide which is right, And which is an illusion"

That's not to say that the iPhone in its current form will stay that way. When Apple played "Fire, ready, aim", they blew it. When Apple has knocked it out of the park, they waited for the gold rush dust to settle and built something that worked better than you dreamed.

"Highway code" Pfft. No, what you're saying is effectively "No, you can't drive a car because it will put horse-drawn buggy drivers out of business"

Next thing you know, Epic will be pushing to allow people to bring in outside food on airlines and movie theaters.

You could move all your accounts over to Wells Fargo.

Here's how this is going to go.
"Hey, Meta, I need you to research applications for this compound I've come up with to fight cancer."
"Sure, but first, let me show you a bunch of shit you don't give a rat's ass about. Then, I'll show you one result that might be relevant but I'll bury it quickly and show you more crap you don't care about."
"Ugh, please sort this chronologically."
"F*ck you. I'll decide what you get to see."
"Dammit, I'm installing a third-party browser plugin to filter out your garbage."
"F*ck you, again."

First, you sell them the product that ostensibly causes all manner of problems. Then you sell them the cure for it. Geez, it's almost as though they're copying the Big Pharma business model.

Same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to take over the world.

It's sad that "National Brotherhood Week" is as spot on today as it was when he wrote it.

Oh, come on. Who hasn't wanted to do that out of shear spite?
