No idea. Fairly sure he had copilot write it.

Nice imagination you have there. It isn't even close to the scenario of one car parking in a space for 20 minutes and then after the space having been empty and available for others for some time another car finding that space and parking in it.

It wouldn't even make sense from a Waymo point of view.... why would they want that many cars just sitting idle in one place? If demand is so low that they have 10 cars parked in spaces for an entire day not making money they would be better sending them elsewhere or back to their depot. They want cars to have people in them paying for transport. Coordinated concentrated parking like you imagine would just be a route to bankruptcy.

How to make your main marketing point the main reason that no one wants your product.

Uncontrolled capitalism is what we want as long as its our uncontrolled capitalism.

Your scenarios aren't similar. You don't seem to understand what a monopoly is. None of your examples are monopolies.

If you don't agree with Eufy storing the images on their server for the security camera you purchased you can buy security cameras from someone else that don't do that and are based on local storage (and there are plenty out there if you look). Eufy are not the only manufacturer of security cameras out there and there is plenty of consumer choice. They can't prevent you from buying someone else's camera. This is not a monopoly.

If as a driver you want to drive a car there are other car manufacturers you can buy cars from. No single car manufacturer can interfere with your ability to drive a car. You can at any time switch car manufacturer if you don't agree with whatever they are doing and no manufacturer has such a dominant position that you would be prevented from driving if you choose to not drive their cars. You don't need to agree to Subaru's terms if you buy a Ford. If a new company wants to make cars with CarPlay and no ads on the in-dash display neither GM or Subaru can stop them. This is not a monopoly.

On the other hand if as a software developer you want to sell software for Apple phones you have no option to do so without agreeing to Apple's terms. You can't switch to another application store that is being provided by a different company because Apple is the only provider for an app store on Apple devices. If Apple decide they don't like you for any reason they can prevent you from selling your software to Apple users. Also while the owner of Apple phones had a choice to buy it or another manufacturer's phone the Apple user's decision to use an Apple device is completely outside your control. As far as an app store for selling software to users of Apple devices Apple has a monopoly over that market.

Except we aren't talking about the USA DMCA law here. We are talking about Japan's copyright laws which are much stricter.

They have scheduled maintenance notices at several data centres that seem to coincide with the outage... coincidence or yet another self inflicted configuration screw up?

I love the bit at around 47 seconds in this years ad where there are a bunch of people facing away from the truck about to be run over and it doesn't even slow down. It is unclear if they got hit or not because they move off screen just before impact.

I've only seen my brother talk to a woman and then marry her once. Given how often my brother talks to women he must have been married thousands of times by now.

Given school buses usually have cameras these days and drivers frequently report humans not stopping using them, not to mention the eagerness for people to post such things on social media in the hope of getting a viral video. If this was a frequent thing we would have had many more than just one report. Unless they have reports or proof of multiple instances they have no basis to make that assertion.... which would suggest that this is probably someone's personal vendetta or politically motivated.

Can you imagine calling a company and all the person on the other end of the phone does is repeat everything back to you several times then goes on to tell you everything they need to do on the system because they don't have a keyboard and there is a lot of background noise so the speech recognition is unreliable?

Games are expensive and digital so you can't club together with your friends and share one copy between you.

The dialogue tells the story. Introducing the current crop of LLMs would be a terrible player experience that would overshadow any good parts of the game. Between incorrectly interpreted input, tricking the LLM to give random spoilers for future events, missed key information because the player didn't think to ask about it, and completely hallucinated random responses it would be a train wreck.

And thats before you even consider that AI voices while much improved still don't quite sound right and have the correct emotional nuance that you would get from a a good voice actor.

Give me a well written and told story over LLM chaos any day.

You can actually choose on your Windows settings to allow letters and other characters in your Windows PIN...

Once you sign up for this junk I can guarantee that they will take it as permission to spam you with messages and track your activity forever more.

If a film needs you to experience "sneak peeks, exclusive recorded messages from directors and talent" while watching it for the first time all the time being constantly distracted by others also doing the same then it can't be much of a film. While some people might like having the 'DVD extras' they shouldn't be required to enjoy the film.

In any case its clearly just consumer tracking marketing BS that people are falling for so this is one film I don't think I'll bother going to see.

Also I wouldn't be surprised that in accessing the message bot you are signing over your first born child to eternal servitude in some hidden contract term.
