And Trump has zero good faith. Everyone knows that he is the most corrupt president the USA has ever had, but Republicans refuse to do what is right and hold him to the same standards they would hold a Democrat to.
Is this legal?

Exactly. Artists have used technology as it evolved to make music; AI is just one more technology to adapt to using. What AI is doing is giving people who can't sing or play an instrument a way to make music and sell it; treating the money stream of major labels and artists. Services like Spotify also make it easier to make money while bypassing the traditional gatekeepers; which helped small indie artists but now is adding to the competition.
Injection molding is how to make more than toys. 3D printing will always be expensive, inefficient, and non-scalable.
While injection molding has cost and scale advantages, It also has large upfront costs and isn't easy changed to accomplish design improvements. There are also other costs that 3D printing can help limit, such as storage, logistics, etc. It all depends what you want to do. For DOD, the ability to customize as well as print replacements and parts deployed are key advantages; and something they have been working on for years. I remember seeing a laser 3d printer in the earlier 2000's designed to print replacement parts in the field; rather than have to airfreight parts as needed.
I liked his movies when I was younger. These days? When I watch, the same movies just are not funny anymore.
I really wanted to see History of the World Part 2, back in the day. It never came. If it came out today, I doubt I would find it very funny.
Here you go
We need ICE to pick up Melania and deport her due to her application for residency in the USA being done improperly(someone was bribed into allowing it).
It's so weird that so many people are ignoring the massive accuracy issues of LLMs and have this misguided idea that you can just trust the output of a computer because... well, it's a computer. It's literally using random numbers in its text generation algorithm. Why not just use astrology?
People blindly trust computers because, well computers. I've had cashiers, for example, try to give me change for a 50ty when I gave them a five and they miss entered the amount; or ring up an item for a fraction of the correct price because and then say it is correct when I point it out, because well, computer.

Sorry, this attitude is an example of holding the phone wrong. Only an idiot would blindly trust the output an an LLM or a Google search or a Wikipedia entry or a webpage or any computer program.
Unfortunately, we are surrounded by idiots...
Chemists here. Outside of Alpha-fold, which is an astounding success based on a large but limited and curated data set, AI hasn't shown much use in replacing chemist. It's very difficult to capture the chemical literature in an accurate and meaningful way. And with the explosion in the volume of scientific publishing, you can bet a lot of the newer stuff isn't high quality. LLM's don't know how to capture structures. My forays into asking for structural information turn up nonsense. Unfortunately, if you're doing anything these days, you're gonna have to say you're using AI to be considered serious, regardless of whether it works or not.
Good points. My limited exerience with AI in technical areas is that don't discern between the various quality of reports, and seem to value quantity over quality.
You know that all of that nonsense about "efficiency" that reduced the teams that go after cyber crimes in the department of justice just encourages China, Russia, and North Korea to attack our infrastructure. So, Trump has all of this going on so he won't get prosecuted once he is out of office, but you also have foreign governments now encouraging hacking groups to attack ANYTHING in the USA they possibly can.
I had a coworker who dealt with that situation by double-spacing his code. A blank line on every other line.
Love that. I've done a lot of work on metrics and constantly have to explain to clients to think about what behaviors it will drive because we all are good at figuring out how to game them. When I worked at a big consulting firm billable hours were the key; most of my projects were fixed cost with prices high enough tha my actual hours vs billable ratio was less than one, and often a lot less. So when I was close to my target I'd give other team members hours if they were in danger of falling short so they would not get dinged at bonus time. Since the contracts were fixed costs, it whether I billed 1 hour or 1000 to the project did not impact the client at all; my only constraint was not billing so many that the project had less than a 25% margin, but also not more than 25%. The games we play to get our cheese...
Steve Jobs made a lot of good future-oriented decision for the first Mac. But he didn't build in networking from the start, which eh later acknowledged was an oversight. Similarly, Hypercard was a fascinating single user experience for hyperlinked content. I did some early hobby programming on it and was impressed how you could make something cool with it. But imagine if it would have offered seamless connection to other hypercard stacks on remote computers from the beginning, it could have changed the way we see the internet. Atkinson was indeed a genius... MacPaint, Quickdraw routines, Hypercard. Impressive!
No doubt. Killing HyperCard was a big mistake, IMHO, when you think of what could have been. I played with it on my ][gs. It was powerful and relatively intuitive, and had Apple moved forward could have been a major player in today's internet. Of course, that would have meant Apple would have had to expand it to Windows but doing so very well might have created the first cross platform browser. Given Jobs' focus on design, the net might be a vastly different experience had he pushed HyperCard development forward; and the Mac a preferred development tool. What might have been; although some things live on like the finger pointer cursor. Every time you see one think of Bill and his gifts to us...
>>Waymo remains unprofitable despite raising $5.6 billion in funding last year.
That's the plan. Just like Uber ran at a loss for years, undercutting taxi services until they captured the market, then jacked up prices and squeezed their employees (sorry, "contractors") after they had no more competition. Now robotaxis will do the same thing to them.
The big problem is that these studios are so afraid of risk, they don't even try anything different. Netflix, Amazon, HBO, Showtime, and the other streaming services do have more variety, which is why they are still around.
You can go a bit further into the problem, when they release 20 movies a year, three can do poorly, three can do really well, and fourteen of them can do "ok", meaning they don't make a lot, but they don't lose much either. The result is though, that people keep going to the movies because there is variety. Now, over the years, these studios have dropped how many movies they make per year, and that means they don't want to run a risk of even one movie being a flop. So, we get "more of the same", and that means, more people decide to just wait for it to become available to watch at home, because the options generally suck.
If you aren't willing to take a risk, then you will never get these movies that really amaze people because the story and characters are really well written. Nope, it's just bland garbage. Netflix cut back on their development, and will probably be feeling it before too much longer, because without a LOT of different content, many don't find enough to justify the monthly cost.
You're using a keyboard! How quaint!
