The question is not whether AGI will ever be achieved, but by which definition it will be achieved. There is no consensual definition of AGI, so the Big Techs have a lot of space to define it themselves when it is convenient for them. OpenAI and Microsoft have already defined AGI as an AI that brings one hundred billion dollars profit.

Hadn't you abandoned yet? Every change they made in the service made it worse. Going AI is just the final nail on the coffin.

I am not a native English speaker, so I am a bit confused. I would call a person who takes top secret files home is a spy, but the summary is calling such a person an 'intern'.

According to Wikipedia, .su (Soviet Union) top domain is still in use, and is used mostly by scammers and criminals.

I can't understand why they blocked all traffic from Brazil. This is underdeveloped country. We don't have IA capabilities. All of our best engineers are abroad.

Does Notepad come with spell check now? That's the feature that I always missed and if I can turn off everything else new and just have spell check, I'm okay with the changes.

Yes. I used it today for about five minutes without internet, and could use One Note.

Couldn't it be solved with a prompt the first time every user starts using the browser, whatever the OS, listing the main search engines available randomly with a single line explaining the pros of each one?

Of course it was a "political agenda," just because the main characters where not mostly white. It had nothing to do with a confusing plot that had to be explained over in interviews and by commenters, together with nonsensical nods to the previous trilogy. Lack of creativity did not play a important role as well. Bring back the villain of the previous two trilogies! More giant spaceships! Why not?

I saw my wife interacting with the Sandiego story and found the interactivity to be pointless. You are given two options at certain points of the story, but only one of them makes it advance, as if the other was wrong. That's not so much of a choice, and if you have no choice, why bother with interactivity?

... but won't get any of Google's money.

The problem with QR codes is that they don't always show the landing address directly. It is usually a short URL. Then it's not just a question of whether you trust QR codes, but whether you trust short URLs.

It makes me remember Gradiente's iphone. Gradiente, a Brazilian company, registered the brand iphone years prior to Apple's launch of the iPhone. I don't think that the similarity goes beyond that, as Gradiente's iphone was just a name until after iPhone had been already released. According to Brazil's Supreme Court Rules Over IPhone's Trade Mark, both companies can use the iphone brand, with the restriction that Gradiente's iphone cannot be just called "iPhone".

Not all learners think the same way. I have to police myself not to use the subjunctive, so as not to sound weird, as it is almost not used anymore. If it were my way, it should be brought back.
