If only I had mod points!

...would anyone want a 32" screen on their FRIDGE? Are they going to sit in the kitchen and stare at it?

And having it, and not expecting MBAs to demand ads...

Retired programmer, sr. Linux sysadmin. I have NO "smart home" devices. I get enough ads on my computer.

Bzzt, thank yuo for playing. You have just shamed your family for generations to come. You do not win a year's supply of Rice-a-roni....

Ignoring the two acs below - they're both assholes who have no clue, and if they're not trolls from Russia or elsewhere, are posting from their basements.

No, cusco, it's not "business ethics". It *was* the MBAs, Friedmanites all, who decided that ROI was, to paraphrase Lombardi, "ROI isn't everything, it's the only thing." Products and services? No, ROI. And ROI must be this quarter. Destroy unions, ship jobs overseas to semi-slave labor? ROI!

But NOT A SINGLE INVESTIGATION that I've read of on the death threats to judges who rule with the law, not Trump.

An "erotic chat" mode would take jobs away from women (mostly older women) who staff all those "talk to a hot babe" phone lines.

Laugh, right. So, would you hire an older woman who'd been a "tradwife" after her asshole husband dumped her for a younger trophy? What job-oriented skills would she have?

And yes, a let friend of mine did that for a while, many years ago.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Given that what I've read, he actually *cares* about the BOOKS.

My issue is all the pics we see of what's supposed to be Tom Bombadil... um, er, are they all color blind? "Old Tom Bombadil, bright blue his coat, and his boots are yellow."

Can we create some science-based anti-morons, and transport them to DC?

Really? REALLY?!?

Because the movies I remember watching were complete and utter departures from Tolkien's writing. They were nothing like the book, and were terrible as a result.

People are using Sora to strip classmates and co-workers naked, child porn, and, oh, yes, deepfakes of political opponents.

Since you haven't even begun to think about it, let me cut to the chase: it's STUPID, in space, to have a ship from Earth to the Moon. Do you fly to another city, and have the jetliner land at your hotel downtown?

*SPACE*ships should go from station to station, and shuttles/landers from planet to station.

Before anybody points this out, a gallon of bleach (the common size) is currently well over their weight limit. OTOH, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be thinking ahead to the possibility of hackers ordering risky combinations of materials that might ignite or release hazardous fumes if jostled. I don't know if Wing's drones drop cargo like other services I've seen either. The videos I've seen have drogue parachutes but things still come down a bit fast. Anyway, it's not a realistic concern *for now*, apparently; but hopefully it's being considered.

I'd like to send an order of bleach, ammonia and thumb tacks to 1000 of my closest friends, via drone.

...that they shareholders will be able to replace him with the chatbot, and not have to pay his salary?
