No mention of the fact that AI recently took over nationwide air traffic congestion, as per this earlier story:

Claims it is due to a 'telecommunication issue'. Makes no mention of the recent AI ruling

We need to stand up to google. They need to know they sell products to us, rather than force them on us.

Just use other searches. Duck Duck Go is basically a google search that isn't a privacy invasion. Or use Bing, or a hundred others.
 

Apparently, you've never been in a romantic or sexual relationship, if you think they are on the same level as "having a bad day" or "seeing a movie." It makes sense, I guess, since this is slashdot. Your list of reasons for bad decisions, is not even in the same ballpark as the problems caused by people in a relationship with a subordinate or...a spy. There's a reason that "honey-trap" is a term, and has been since the 1400s, long before Puritans were a thing.

You know, when everybody runs to the john at the same time when halftime starts.

Oh wait, some people actually want to watch that halftime show.

On a personal note, the Super Bowl is a real dilemma for me. I love watching the game, and I love watching the commercials. There is literally no good time to...go!

Makes sense. But call me skeptical. If these researchers are right, they should be able to demonstrate that the pulses emanate from data centers. The proposal seems to be a hand-wavy hypothesis, no clear evidence that they measured the pulses as actually having come from data centers.

I've never seen a UPS that had a clock. How on earth would they synchronize, accidentally or otherwise, without a clock? Sure, they could know how long a minute is by counting 60 (or 50) Hz pulses * 60 seconds per minute. But they wouldn't know whether the time is 2, 5, 13, or 32 seconds after the minute, unless somebody either set a clock on the system, or connected it to wifi so it could connect to a time server. How many UPSes do that? I'm sure some do, but the vast majority I've seen do not. Nobody wants to bother with that kind of setup, just plug it in and go!

How could they be synced at all, closely or not? Almost none of them actually have a clock.

How many UPSes have you seen, that have a clock? Even if they did pulse every minute, they would all pulse at random points within a given minute, some at 5 seconds after the top of the minute, some at 10, some at 20, and so on.

You do sound like an executive, I'll give you that!

It's not about morality or religion. Sexual relationships make people do weird things, that are often, and usually are, directly contradictory to good business. If you're having an affair with a Chinese spy, and she starts begging you to find ways to get export controls relaxed, you just might do it for her sake, even if it's detrimental to the company or the country. If you're having an affair with somebody who reports to you, you just might let her get away with substandard work, or be partial to her in other ways that ruin the morale of your other leaders.

Businesses don't ban relationships between employees (especially subordinates) because they're trying to be so righteous. They're trying to protect their business.

"promises not to use captured photos or videos for AI training or targeted advertising"

Google's promise is as valuable as their commitment to 'not be evil'. On a scale of 1-10, that is a -4

Moreover, note it only promises for those two things. 10 years ago they would not have mentioned AI training cause it wasn't a thing yet. I wonder what is not a thing yet today but will be in 10 years.

Promise not to use our video for ANYTHING, anything less is not a promise at all.

Post-ethics world? Are you implying that the world was an ethical place once? That's funny!

How stupid do you have to be to give financial permissions to devices known to hallucinate.

Congratulations you have bought $30,000 worth of shares in the Brooklyn Bridge.
