I sincerely hope you're right about that, though it seems to me that stupidity itself isn't the problem we face, that would be greed combined with irrational fear along with the societal delusion that all of us are temporarily embarrassed billionaires, just waiting for our "big break". Spoiler alert: the big break isn't coming for *any* of us that aren't already billionaires.
My last phone was a moto G (2017) and it was the perfect size at 5.2". I just recently had to replace it with a (second hand) pixel device, not because I wanted one (I wanted another Moto G, but they're 7" now) but because it's (just) pocketable at 6.1". "Small" smartphones seem to not exist anymore. I don't care at all about "thin" phones either. I just want an android phone that fits comfortably in my front pocket and has 2+ days of battery. The Zenfone would have worked, but is expensive and att & tmobile only.
And beaconing can also provide GPS and telemetry. It's easy to battle in space, take out important satellites-- unless you have to take out thousands of them. The numeric advantage in many satellites is that there is no other country coming even close to the number of Musk-launched satellites. In war, more soldiers is an advantage.
Apple is following the rest of the computing industry, which embraced touch-screen laptops more than a decade ago.
Then they'll find out the hard way that Steve was right.
As a lawyer would say "not suitable for the purpose sold".

No, hacked by Jimmy Smith, age 14, of Colorado, who is interested in shoot-em-up war games with realism. His dad's machine was connected through Comcast to his bot at the local library.
In reality, I hope this is just a pilot. And there are overrides. And it doesn't come with an included shock collar.
Ditto on the nonsense. Ditto on Philly.
Must be AI generated.
Then these sharks won't be able to make the campaign contributions necessary to get complying elected officials re-elected.
Can't have that.
Spank people who can't pay their bills for whatever reason? Childcare, healthcare costs, inflexible employment traps, maybe we change more for those. Usurious alimony? Car financing deals from the seventh level of hell? Hey-- don't touch that stuff!
Alter bankruptcy laws to make them easier? NO WAY!
What we need are more student loans at the drop of a hat, for any degree, no matter how unsalable, how inane, how self-indulgent.
Agreed. This is a race to the bottom. No one should depend on AI, because AI then undoes AI mistakes undoes AI mistakes because there is no harmonization among approaches. This will not end well.
If you're used to finding inaccuracy and accepting that, then you'll do fine, and have no regrets. For the other eight billion of us, we find this both immoral, and still another example of the immunity from liability by the bad advice from AI, itself an oxymoron.
This is the same logic leap that makes people believe that driverless cars are ready to put on the highways.
These are big lies, foisted by trillions of dollars in bad investments, trying to bring halo to trusting people who believe the big lies. Small successes fool people into unearned trust. Marketing is powerful because people are believers. Sadly, only skeptics are rewarded these days.
Correct.
If you are not a tech person, right now from all the hype and news and bullshit, you would rightly assume that AI is an amazing revolution and you would barely have heard about its shortcomings.
Though that might've just been him thinking "stupid Europeans know only Moscow, St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. I'll just say Moscow, close enough."
They had set out to descend after sunset, and I don't remember seeing any lights on the path. Even a paved road can be dangerous in pitch black.
This. I've had to descend a mountain as the sun was going down once (got stuck at the top due to weather for some time, and when it let up enough for a safe descent, it was late). It's absolutely not fun, even when there's still some light. Had it been dark, I think I would've taken my chances staying at the top rather than going down.
That said, anyone not a complete idiot checks things like "time of last cable car" a) in person, b) at the day, c) at the location. Because even there is an official website that is well-maintained (and that's already two big if's) things might change at the location due to weather, workers being ill, no tourists that day or whatever.
Also, checking in person means at least one other person knows that you're up there.
There is hope. Learn the real basics of software engineering; you'll make do. AI can help you, but the hype goes away in a year or two. You'll need non-vibe, real coding background by then, and people will need you... then.
The ideas foisted in the post are plainly bad ideas, but each of the sponsors is now roped in to making the KoolAid look palatable. Sam Altman, leader of this Jonestown, will retire some place offshore.
Yes, why not react to any jab of their business model, which is to feed drones to the machine?
No doubt they're as mad as wet hens. Journalism does that. Facts and truth to power is the dynamic. The NYT is not immune from influence, but the article citation has factual basis.
Countering capitalism is dangerous stuff.
