I shouldn't have to ask it to avoid leaking memory. If I do, it's insufficiently "intelligent" to be trusted with any responsibility.

Whenever I meet a new chatbot, I ask it to "Sort a linked list in C".
If the resulting code leaks memory, I don't trust the bot to write code.
So far, none have earned my trust.
Oh yeah, I remember that scene in "Spaceballs" where they fast-forwarded to 1989 so they could watch "When Harry Met Sally" two years before it actually came out. It was weird.
In about 5-6 billion years our sun will run out of Hydrogen fuel, and will turn into a red giant, which will make Earth barren and without life.
At that point, the surface of the sun will be beyond Earth's current orbit, and this planet will just be a contaminant in the Sun's composition.
When I look at all the new "apps" I've installed on my phone in the last year, there is only one: the Android port of Balatro.
I suppose AI could give me a fake Balatro, complete with animations and whatnot, but that sounds a lot more resource-intensive than just running reasonably well-written software.
Not really. They're making a co-op squad shooter and calling it "Marathon", because it's the newest trademark Bungie still owned when Sony bought 'em up.
Microsoft/Activision owns Destiny.
Microsoft/343Industries owns Halo.
TakeTwo owns Myth and Oni.
A new Marathon game would resemble Marathon. Halo ODST is the closest thing I've seen to a "new Marathon game" since Marathon Infinity, and I doubt Sony/Bungie's new Marathon will be any closer.
It appears that the assets included the existing service contracts with customers, which included these "lifetime" agreements.
The buyer is telling the customers they failed to do due diligence and didn't know what they were buying. At the same time, they're telling investors they *did* do due diligence, and analyzed the business's last few years of financials. These can't both be true.
The social media startups and AI startups of today are eerily similar to the dot-com startups of the late 90s.
The company is the product. The investors are the customers. Users are fuel.
When creating the Torment Nexus, you gotta' start somewhere.
Prohibition to download and install software yourself is typically part of your employment contract.

16 bit is already at the maximum of human hearing
I'm not convinced you know what you're talking about.
If you heard audio that was recorded with fewer bits per sample, say, 6-bit audio, how would you know? What would it sound like? Do you know?
Punishment (justice), deterrance and public safety are all legitimate reasons for incarceration.
I agree that deterrence and public safety are legitimate reasons for incarceration. However, retributive justice serves no legitimate purpose.
the PC app for Prime I can't get working in HD
There's a PC app for Prime? I had no idea. I've only ever used the web page. I don't have surround audio set up right now, but it seems to play in reasonably high resolution and in HDR. Bonus: the browser blocks the ads.
How do they pull this crap off? I remember when the Win10 anniversary update broke my USB hub! It had worked on Win10 for a year, and still worked on Linux, but not on Win10 build 1607 and later.
What's the matter with these people?
It works a lot better if you run it in a gamescope session than inside a regular DE.
Once you're in there, you can run nested KDE or GNOME, and freely switch between the desktop and full-screen games in gamescope.
