I've seen a case of a placeholder voice having been generated by AI, but since it was for an ingame AI the fans actually preferred it to what the 'real' lines ended up sounding like, and the company went back to the generated voice. That's a very specific usecase, though.

And it's going to be clamshelled somewhere that'll break the entire TV if you so much as think of going near it. And if you DO manage to disconnect it without breaking the TV the TV will just not receive a confirmation packet when turning on and default to a "Something is very seriously wrong! Take your TV to a repair shop IMMEDIATELY!" screen with no access to being used as, y'know, a TV.

Well-stated. I can't fathom why this is modded down to zero. Wish I had points to spend.

I have to assume the majority of people have no idea what "neoliberalism" means. Seeing "liberal" in it pisses off progressives because they think you're blaming them for Reagan and his policies, and it pisses off conservatives because they think you're stealing credit for their golden-age accomplishments.

Theoretically yes, but you'd have to go through a LOT of code to make sure there's also nothing to secretly turn it back on, or to later get an update to turn it back on, etc. At the end of the day a level of trust is required.

That's the catch. They use AI to report AI usage statistics. So when you turn the AI off nothing gets reported about your usage; ergo 100% of reports show AI usage.

Honestly I think No Child Left Behind failed this guy big time.

Citation needed.

You're hung up on technicalities of how one became king and cherrypicking details of how this means Trump doesn't see himself as ruler for life. Take Putin as an example; he's technically an elected president, but would you also argue he doesn't act like he's a king or emperor?

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and a king by any other name would act the same.

He 'crowned' himself when he posted an AI image of himself wearing a goddamned crown. His followers practically worship him as they would God or Jesus. He doesn't need to call himself Majesty because everyone is already required to address him by a title; it's just President instead of King or Emperor or Great Dear Supreme Leader.

The ones who are naturally polite will quit after the second time they had ONE interaction in which they forgot to say thank you or the customer was so rude there was no way to actually be polite rather than merely cordial.

I have experienced trying to order from a fast food joint in a country where I didn't speak the language very well. The employees are so ingrained in what to say and not say that if you ask them to rephrase because you don't understand what they're saying they completely lock up. They literally can't think of a different way to ask if that will be all today. I guess that's what the powers that be truly want - a working class entirely incapable of independent thought.

Oh, go cry me a river. Name ONE actual national security threat that the US needs an unfettered AI to defeat.

Because having an adblocker running makes Slashdot freak out on occasion, refusing to load articles, refusing to expand comment threads, etc.

His clarification is basically that the universe is too big for there not to be other lifeforms out there.

All true, but natural beef is so delicious it's worth those compromises.

Don't worry, I'm sure that the lab-grown stuff won't make those same mistakes.

Can you point to where the UK and Australia are on an unlabelled map of the United States?
