So if I patent umm, taking photos up girls skirts and categorizing them with AI then I will also make the front page of slashdot ? What other black mirror type creeper pervert stuff can we patent ?

Nic cage movie gets stolen AND it's his first movie worth more than $9.99? If they were suing Netflix for like $50 and a monthly bus pass maybe I would believe it.

At least in 2 years people will need an electrician or plumber and a whole bunch will be available on short notice. Unless of course you are a electrician or plumber then you can expect stagnating or decreasing wages.

"CFTC investigators discovered that Perez placed bets" Oh, so it is a unlicensed betting site.

Sounds like they were generating the news...

South Africa has RICA and it doesn't work. Was it used for targeted assassinations because normal people had their address on file now? Yes, of course. Did it help reduce crime? No. Did it make a black market for registered numbers? Yes. Then comes the fun part, the rule cannot apply to visitors, so foreigners can do whatever, they are anonymous.

They are not betting, they don't really loose when they loose. They are SPENDING $200 million on the idea. There is no potential for "failure" so it's not a bet.

We did a similar thing in 2006, except the cameras fed to a central desk at a fire station monitoring a mix of farms/forest/residential. The software would flag all smoke detections and since there was a lot of residential and informal settlements an operator would verify it was not an intentional fire. So, this is not a new product but a new marketing spin on a very old product.

They offshore a lot, like a network technician can sit remote and you pay half salary and don't need to supply the now increased medical cost as your employee's health is their governments problem, not yours. However certain positions they need someone in country, someone who expects to be treated well and receive big benefits... OR a foreigner who's entire life is governed by the employment contract. I think this fell under "labor trafficking" in my last mandatory slavery training from an organization that definitely needs to read their own material. I personally believed the US not voting to declare slavery a crime was to avoid raising minimum wage, but I guess there are more nuances to it...

Stackoverflow was so toxic that people would easily go somewhere where they could ask a a question without getting flamed.

Yeh, more jobs for American robots!

Don't be ugly to people - now it's left leaning. Don't attack minorities - now it's left leaning Be kind and help others - now it's left leaning Global warming is real - left leaning I am not picking one of your sides ehre I know the left overshoot and go way to far on their side to enforece "niceness" too. Be a drag queen, but kids do NOT need to watch burleqsue shows, if you steal $100 worth of stuff it should be a crime with jail jailtime becuase it's stealing etc... The problem is America seems to term "being nice" as "left" and being "being hateful" is right. You people should shoot for the middle.

So still less fake AI employees then fake human posted jobs. Seems fair.

I do not mind at all if the court tells Apple to unlock a phone and they do it. I just want end to end encryption with no remote backdoor.

They forget there is more than one government in the world and all of them are absolutely evil... The excuse of forcing the law even seems to fall flat these days, sorry, but even criminals get elected now (not just in America) and the people must accept it. If governments were not evil maybe they could earn some trust. I am not even secretive about my data, continue spying, I don't care. However, can you imagine a Boeing whistleblower used an .... wait they're all dead. What about a Russian oligarch who says som.... wait, they're all dead. Yeh.. this sort of government access would greatly increase the number of government opposition/whistleblower deaths.
