I'd downmod your -1 anonymous ass for totally not getting the point. But that's not an option, redundant, and I couldn't tell you about it.

From the, "solving problems I don't have" department, and forwarded to the "just because we doesn't mean we should" department, who the hell actually wants this feature? My first reaction was, "no", and that was before taking a second to think about all the security related BS it implies. The amount of money and time MS is wasting on this must be staggering.

Pulling out an envelope (okay, opening ChatGPT), let's sketch this out. Imagine we want to our probe to reach Alpha Centauri in 50 years. It would have to be traveling at about 8.75% of c, or 26,000 km/s (58 million mph). And of course once it got there, it would still be traveling 8.75% c, making taking pictures or swinging around and coming back a bit of a challenge. Voyager 1, the fastest moving man-made object, is traveling at 17km/s (38,000 mph) and would take approximately 70,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri, if it were headed in that direction. It's not even a question of whether we can.

Car! Why can't you hear me! I said Turn. The Music. Down!

Back in the day (and I'm old enuf to be allowed to say that) I joined Facebook to hook up again with friends from high school, friends from college, friends from former employers and enjoy pictures and stories about them and their new families and all of that. And then it changed. Fewer cute babies, more posturing and grandstanding and politics. That was 2016. And then it's just gotten worse. I look at it every now and again and it's ads and reels and links to things that'll try to hijack your browser. Seems like it's 20-1 enshittification vs family photos. AI will make it worse guaranteed. I might finally getting around to quitting it all together.

"Now with AI!" is starting to sound like a warning label to avoid products that solve problems I don't have.

So then only 40% of boats they have (what do those boats do? does the Navy know about this?) are ready for service. That speaks of a maintenance issue. So the solution is autonomous boats. Is it the maintenance on these new boats that is automated? If not, without changes to maintenance practices, we'll end up seeing only 40% of the automated boats being ready for service at any given time.

don't feed the trolls

I don't like Assange at all. Doesn't matter. In this situation, preferring not to ride with a scorpion across the river is very wise on his part.

You must have some pretty funny looking hands. AI generated, perhaps?

Sounds exactly like the plot of a movie starring Jack Lemmon and Jane Fonda from 1979 called The China Syndrome

I agree, enshittifcation continues apace, I would say, "please make it stop!", but who does one say it to?

Book covers perhaps? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com...
