The fundamental flaw in LLMs is that the data used to control the LLM is sent in the same channel as the data it needs to process. We figured out this was a bad idea with the Bell System in the '70s. Guess the kids who built these LLMs are too young to remember blue boxing.

How long would that last if you took the top $990 billion and used it to fund UBI?

$990B divided by 200M people is a whopping $4950 each. Don't spend it all in one place.

Have you ever been to the bases in San Diego (or anywhere, for that matter?) They have plenty of civilian facilities. Schools, daycares, hospitals, you name it, they got it. Any attack on a military target on US soil would be treated by the US as an attack on a civilian target.

What you are describing is exactly what Facebook was like 15 years ago, before they implemented the algorithm.

Because if all the lights turned red, traffic would back up at the intersection in the direction the emergency vehicle was traveling.

Unless this bill also applies to digital cable, cable providers will just work around it by entering agreements with landlords that require residents to subscribe to digital cable. I saw this when I lived in Richmond VA. Almost all of the decent apartment complexes in that area are owned by three or four corporate landlords, so it's relatively easy for Comcast et al. to enter agreements that require residents to subscribe to cable TV. Internet access was not included in those agreements, so residents could choose to get internet access from the cable provider, another provider, or none at all (they still had to pay for cable TV whether they wanted it or not.)

Most schools nowadays have metal detectors at the entrances. A smartphone will trigger a metal detector 99% of the time.

Piece of software that wasn't designed to do something fails when expected to do that thing. Film at 11

In elementary school, we had maybe a 5-minute bathroom break before lunch, and another one after lunch. We also had a 30-minute (outdoor, weather permitting) recess immediately after lunch. This was more than 30 years ago; I've heard that many districts only allow 20 minutes for recess nowadays.

In middle and high school, we had 8 42-minute class periods per day, not including lunch, with 4 minutes in between. In a school our size, 4 minutes was barely enough time to get to class, let alone go to the bathroom or relax. In smaller schools, they only allow 3 minutes between classes. I know that my state requires a certain amount of instructional time per day (measured in minutes), and breaks do not count toward that total. More breaks would mean less instructional time, and we can't have that, now can we?

And it is not going to happen fast enough that someone does not notice the AM station is offline and goes to see what broken and finds the tower in the process of being stolen.

This is an AM station in rural Alabama we're talking about here. All five of their listeners were probably in bed when their tower was stolen.

Christian Slater, is that you?

All this software update does is prevent the car from starting unless it was unlocked from the remote. So if the 29-cent battery in your remote is dead (or if it malfunctions), your car won't start, which is why I won't be getting it.

You do understand that oil that gets transformed into durable items like plastic isn't necessarily going to add to atmospheric carbon, and as such, it's not really necessary to turf them as part of combating climate change?

Plastic is essentially a waste byproduct from the refining process that's literally worthless as anything but plastic. There's no reason why anyone would bother pumping oil just to turn it into plastic, since it would cost more to pump it than they'd be able to sell it for. So yes, without fossil fuels, there would be no plastic.

That's by design, so they can sell you "updates".
