Is this really a corner case, though? We have cars and electronics that are made of foreign parts and primarily assembled in the US. Are those considered American-made? No, as mentioned, those products must use a qualified statement. Assuming you could trust the budgeting, you could tax the foreign components that went into the film's production. I am sure that Weta FX doesn't work for free and that some monetary value is associated with their work.

It's called a smart pipe(tm).

That's the next logical step.

The first step is probably adding fillers to the concrete. Radioactive fly ash seems to be a good, cheap building material.

Is this why I saw the researcher on the local news program talking about his "finding?" He was hoping to reach an audience of fellow researchers watching the evening news?

What is currently hyped as AI isn't conscious in any way. If you fail to ask a question, it isn't busy thinking about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. Would you consider a magic eight ball to be conscious? It produces seemingly intelligent answers to your questions.

That's about the level of AI we have right now. It does nothing until you press the handle.

If there is a loud explosion, a large LOUD EXPLOSION should appear on the screen, obscuring the actors' subtitled dialogue. The hearing-impaired will finally experience movies the way Hollywood intended.

It's probably so energy-intensive that it was not economically viable until very recently. Not to mention the EPA regulations that any sort of rare earth refining facility would need to meet in the US. I am not saying regulations are bad, I am just saying that China probably doesn't give a fart if they poison the surrounding area for hundreds of years.

Based purely on "this package name looks good."

How much debris will we leave behind to get the satellite out of orbit?

You aren't thinking the right way. We could use the "excess" human population to pull the plows. Think of the jobs this would create!

If nothing else, farm equipment has oil and bearings that contain a variety of toxic heavy metals. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2Fa...

Valentina Tereshkova was the first all-female space mission. It was a solo mission, but it still counts. Women were stronger in the 1960s.

In a surprising twist, instead of humans training AI systems, we have AI systems training humans. I am sure that will end well.
