I've contemplated using DDG as my main search engine because I suspect that getting an AI response from Google when I don't want it comes with a direct, negative, environmental impact. Every time.

Though she will become more powerful than we can imagine.

They need to make the rocket out of the same material that those rocket towers are made out of. Yeah, that would do the trick.

It looks like the number "and"...

I may be out of MY league here, but I've had success with Googling something like: echo123 God LED site:slashdot.org

Me too! And then we can see who wins! Maybe we can call such an event something different...

Maybe they should try vibe coding...

Ironically, you may have responded to an AI bot.

Those poor white-collar folks, how will they ever get by?

You can begin by stopping treating "resources" as infinite; when one thinks they're infinite one makes all kinds of bad decisions. Universal Basic Inflation, indeed.

You are correct. This is a design by children or what happens when an "engineer" focuses on ONE thing--the same reason why we often despise managers. The reason this bothers me is that undoubtedly some innocent people will be hurt by such a decision, perhaps in an unforeseeable situation or an emergency.

Or maybe not so unforeseeable: I saw in the news where a sinkhole recently appeared on a runway. On the streets, any human could grab the wheel to avoid it and save lives. Kill-me-bot would drive right into it, as it has been doing in floods. Would kill-me-bot know to steer around that large car fire in New York a week ago?

A bonus rant: Is it ever going to know when to stop for emergency vehicle lights versus getting out of the way? I've seen power lines down while driving, one was even live, or is that just a twig?

I am angry about the confusion over power.

They need adult-sized Bugles so they fit on our fingers better before consumption.

Right, I think their idea (from a self-help book, decades ago) was that such disappointments should be routed into something productive versus random venting and actions.

I read that anger is the energy for change.
