For years I have been muting commercials, I never listen to them and I don't even have to think to hit the mute button, it's automatic for me at this point.

I tried to read their terms of service but to do so I get a prompt to agree to the terms of service. I can't read them if I don't agree first \_()_/

But please don't ask me to help. \_()_/

Good question. I don't have an answer but noticed that trend. Maybe ask in reddit's r/outoftheloop? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FOutOf...

Chatbots can give us amazingly well researched answers or they could make up answers that look accurate and are wrong. We are entering a new era where we'll need to double check everything. For example I was just reading this article on GeekWire on a Bing conversation with a journalist: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.msn.com%2Fen-us%2Fnews... After checking on an answer the journalist found mistakes so they asked Bing why the mistake was made. First the AI said the answer was correct but after further exchange it admitted making a mistake: "oh I see, that was a mistake on my part. I apologize for the confusion." ... ... "why did you make this mistake?" "I made this mistake because I was not paying enough attention to the details of the press release." ... There is more back and forth arguing with the AI. Basically it admitted making a mistake and apologized to the journalist. This, to me, is a big warning sign that we should all take to heart. AIs cannot be blindly trusted, they are not encyclopedias with curators checking facts, they are autonomous programs that give us answers, sometimes wrong answers.

I don't know if they are practical, but some look very enticing, I would get one if they come to market. '\_(O_o)_/'

Damn, I have no mod points but if I did I'll give them all to you for making me laugh so hard! :D

Thank you for the link, I saw this a while ago and lost it. The recreations are stunning!

We have pets, they get panicky scared, not by the pretty fireworks but by the big boom explosions, I don't understand why we have to HAVE those. Plus around where we live we have thousands of displays all around the city. Every year we see reports of dead birds from sonic booms (not from the purdy firework types). I will not link to that, do your own search. Some drones displays or fireworks displays with no booms will be best.

Is this how you see life? How sad.

Heh

Utter nonsense indeed! Why is this even on slashdot, slow news day? ... Posted by msmash: wake up and do some filtering for quality msmash :/

My overall feeling in this cup is that VAR has been a well overdue positive innovation. I've seen some bad calls, included penalties, reversed because of VAR. There is nothing worst than losing a game on a bad penalty call by the ref. I am glad this is finally happening.

My concern with these type of human imitation is not on the personal assistant side but on the robocall sales side. Telemarketers already have some rudimentary human type robocalls trying to fool you, if and when they get their hands on these bots answering any unknown call will turn to hell.

This is a perfect example of why life changing decisions should be by a super majority of votes, 60% or more. Making such a big change like exiting the EU on the whim of a 50% vote is moronic. :/
