How do you think these "car rental offices and dispensaries" capture and transfer ID images? Pretty much the same way web sites take a picture of your ID. It's just using a specialized scanner. But otherwise an image upload.
allocating scarce resources fairly until such time that humanity has technologically advanced to eliminate scarcity
Scarcity is what keeps humanity governable. If you have everything you need, who can then tell you what to do? Try telling a homeless bum to stop doing something. Give him a house, two car garage and chicken in the pot and he's at your beck and call.
How will breaking search and the browser off of ads help with giving the customer a better browsing experience? And by customer, I mean advertisers. They need the market-oriented search and browser tracking hooks to capture more consumers. And they need them all to work together seamlessly.
So, she's ancient and terrible too.
I suppose the question is if AI companies can really 'do their nonsense', as a big chunk of the assumed value is the ability for the AI to displace IP generation.
I feel like I've read a bunch of them had pivoted already. I recall one audio interview that had the guy point blank declare his pivot. They were all people and companies I never had heard of before.

Nuclear plants can idle. They can do it pretty fast too, and they certainly don't "blow up" when they do.
True. Most of the problems with "throttling" a base load plant have more to do with the turbines and generators. Not the reactor itself. It takes a certain amount of steam to spin a turbine up to synchronous speed. Once the generator is connected to the grid but "idling" (putting out zero power), the system will actually be hunting between generating and motoring. That's not good for its windings, so operators try to keep a minimum amount of power going out.
We are, for all intents and purposes, a conductor for such small charges. As such, the potential needed to move those charges and equalize them is low. Lower than that needed to break chemical bonds in most materials.
I think Melania had a lot to do with no more sons.
Line truck. Pole puller. Job done.
Paris Hilton is still alive?
It's more a case of the fox being in charge of the chicken coop; or bank robbers gaining control of the bank.
The job of the press in a democracy is to hold officials up to scrutiny.
