Every technology that bosses think is useful, they pursue and *implement* by integrating it into their business process. So Ford implemented assembly lines for the Model T. Companies implemented virtual machines in data centers. Google implemented Kubernetes-like software across its internal operations (?)

Why is implementing AI technology your headache? Especially if the only interface you have is a prompt? Implementation is your boss's job.

I think certain development tools have integrated AI well. The business world, in general, has not.

AI too has its occasional hallucinations and general weirdness. So perhaps two independent AIs?

On a different note, AI cameras aren't everywhere. Perhaps, mobile AI camera (s).

Or two, body-worn, shoulder-mounted AI cameras+microphones that have full authority to independently change camera angle.

"A chip on each shoulder" :-)

They apparently also don't care about a thinner phone. The main problem with iPhone minis was the pricing, and the less than flagship features. If they'd made it full featured, where smaller was marketed as better, then it would sell better. A lot of iPhone buyers would rather buy the best phone they can get, especially if they're financing it. "Best" is relative and largely decided by the marketing team.

We want smaller phones, not thinner. The iPhone 12 mini is a better form and I won't upgrade until they make a new version of it.

If you brew coffee correctly, it's better than instant. If you are bad at brewing coffee, instant is better.

"Combined with a form of fusion... the machines had found all the energy they would ever need."

The author wrote this for The Philadelphia Inquirer... They live in Philadelphia. This is a fluff piece to make people in Philadelphia feel more culturally significant. That said, there's the whole Rocky Balboa thing and they sometimes win the super bowl.

Management is having delusions of firing everyone and replacing them with AI. Even if it's a fantasy, it impacts the level of emotional investment and empathy management has towards workers. The pendulum will swing back, but not until businesses get a sharp reminder that they still need workers.

The "certain employee" is the CEO

Apparently, Amazon meetings have an empty chair. It is supposed to represent the customer in the room.

Do they now use the chair for 'Pin the tail on the donkey' games?

From personal experience, Prime video has become unusable after I refused their shakedown to pay extra to skip ads.

In 2012 of the great blunders of JCPenney was to get rid of the constant "sales" and instead just offer low prices. Customers hated it, as they wanted to feel like they got a steal. Eventually, JCPenny brought back the scam pricing(raised prices then put them on sale) and customers flocked to the stores again.

Not just shoddy, they're setting themselves up for a mistrial. How are you going to get a jury in California that hasn't seen the news stories of his presumed guilt?

They could easily say that they have a suspect in custody and that the evidence is sealed. At this point, they're poisoning any possible jury and setting themselves up for a mistrial. Also, the evidence isn't slam dunk:
1) "driver had appeared agitated and angry" according to passengers
2) circumstantial evidence that he was near the fire when it started -> he saw the fire and called 911 multiple times to report it.
3) He asked ChatGPT a question: "Are you at fault if a fire is lift [sic] because of your cigarettes?"
4) They mention he prompted ChatGPT months earlier to generate an image of a fire, but they don't tell us the prompt.
5) He listened to a rap song, of which he probably was not watching the music video with the fires

He may have done it, but this isn't pride in the evidence they have, it's desperation to find someone to blame and likely exonerate the state for not putting out the fire as well. The power distribution system in California is notorious for starting fires. So there's public, political and private financial incentive to find a fall guy. Wildfires are ravaging California, so it's normal to do web searches and talk to LLMs about fires and fire safety. If this guy were as obsessed with fire as they claim, there would be *a lot* more material to report about his obsession.

Shouldn't the evidence be presented in trial and evaluated by a judge and jury? Why announce their findings to the public before it's been validated?

Yet, you'll have no problem with a Ring camera.

People need support and monitoring where they are vulnerable. You may be vulnerable to a criminal at your door, but feel confident in your home with your door closed.

Many elderly are vulnerable within their home, and would accept and benefit from monitoring you find intrusive. Especially if they were assured that no human would watch the video unless the monitoring AI flagged trouble.

Of course, ideally you would always have two nurses monitoring each other.
