Two of the most awesome, enlightenning experiences of my life were each due to mushrooms. The first was 5 grams of dried, the second was an ounce of fresh. I pretty much saw God, and was so happy I laughed for 45 minutes.

They want this in k-12 grades? The AI landscape is changing so fast anything we teach those kids will be obsolete by the time they enter the workforce. Sure, teach them about it as part of proper STEM education, plus language skills, music, and athletic activities, but don't waste too much time on the nuances of dealing with an LLM. In many cases the kids will know more than the teachers anyway.

This will become a vector for malware. Interacts with agents, aware of what's on your screen, has ability to overlay (as in hide other things), implicitly trusted; an awesome target.

This is a great idea. Most homes around the world are built with cinder blocks, not wood. If they were standardized to interlock the buildings would be stronger and cost less due to not needing much mortar, if any.

Dude. We're talking medical devices. Your rant is off topic paranoia. Go outside and get some fresh air.

High-res retinal scans can show Alzheimer's disease before symptoms start. I hope they add that to the software for this device too.

"the officer who applied for the warrant reasonably believed he was acting properly. "
Ignorance of the law does not make it okay.

Beyond skepticism, how do you teach an AI the internet equivalent of street smarts? Gullible isn't strong enuf to describe their current state.

Phones can be lost, stolen, and hacked. My phone has never seen a single credit card number, nor have I ever logged in to any bank with it. Letting any app have access to my money is never going to happen. I know my home pc can be hacked, but it's a linux box; I know what's going on with my home network and all the devices on it. Not so for phones. I'd say Elon can kiss my ass, but he'd have to pay me a LOT to do that. Eeeewww.

This, THIS, a Thousand Times This!

Why? /s

The +10 million UID makes me suspect AI, but I like the poetry.

Humans today are growing more medial arteries in their forearms than less than a century ago. I suspect this may be due to the prevalence of typing and mousing requiring more blood flow. Evolution isn't just random DNA mutations; it's epigenetics directing what gets expressed how strongly, which exposes it to more genetic drift.

I was talking about my kindle. Fire sticks are another matter. Good luck; I wouldn't have tried.

You can install linux on them. The hardware is pretty limited, but it will still be a good ereader, and can do more now too.
