No, corporations are "people" with a lot of money, they bribe their way out of problems just like rich flesh people.

Something tells me Waymo's contract with CA gives them a ticket waiver.

But it's a low bar: MS-Teams sucks the big one.

Fake news! Soros put microplastics into all the lab faucets to trick the woke America-Last scientists! There is no such thing as microplastics, nobody's ever seen them in the wild, bacteria eat it and it's just gone, faster than Haitians eat cats: bing bing, munch munch, gone gone!

Despite all the sarcasm, this is actually pretty cool. If you can input some specification documents and get even semi-working software in 30 hours, well, that's cool.

Oh did I say cool? I meant terrifying.

Whereas Teams is just Microsoft Lync with a thousand added features that nobody asked for.

I'll just throw this out - 404 is one of the good ones. They're reporter-owned, refugees from other news sites. If real reporting is going to survive, it is going to be because of outfits like this.

The sign-up is to deter LLM scrapers.

Absolutely get not wanting more spam, and am not trying to tell you how to internet. Just sharing info on why I have signed up with them, when I sign up for almost nothing these days.

Or ... issue the citation to the passenger who called the ride, and let him negotiation reimbursement for the fine and insurance costs with Waymo. I guarantee Waymo would fix the bug or perhaps even *ask* to be regulated rather than rely on this loophole.

Why burden the taxpayer with finding a solution to the consequences of early adopting a new technology? If you *choose* to summon a robotaxi, then you're responsble for the consequences of that choice. If you don't like it, then demand the company sort those out before you use them.

This is so unnecessary, I wonder whether this is some kind of social engineering operation being sold as a "service" to landlords.

Although, hmm. I might potentially be persuaded to watch Encanto at some point, if the right other people are watching it and invite me to watch it with them. If so, it'll be the first Disney movie I've seen since Shrek.

Eh, you're preaching to the choir. I haven't watched a Hollywood movie made in the last fifteen years. The last one I saw in a theatre was LOTR:ROTK. I've seen a couple of movies more recently than that, but they were old ones.

When the thirty-second trailer looks boring and heavily derivative, it's pretty difficult to imagine that the actual movie could hold my interest for over an hour. Sorry, not interested. Do you know how long it's been since I saw a movie trailer or advertisement, that made me want to watch the movie?

Scientific American already said it in the 1920's or 30's: outside of his specialization, every scientist/engineer is a layman.

Not a bad proposal.

A lot of the far-from-actual-truth flood of misinformation comes from identified human beings, but it might at least stop some of the flood of AI-generated disinformation.

...gee-whiz shit? The first time is how Chrome stole their ball.

Your statistics are terrible.

Single women raising kids have a higher chance of raising a criminal because there are so many more of them, and women are generally paid less than men, so they have fewer resources to aid raising those kids. Men are less likely to even TRY to get full custody of children, so there's a massive selection bias here—single dads are the ones that actually have the resources AND the desire to raise children.

I wasn't able to find any credible evidence that the problem is specifically with single mothers, though it does seem that single PARENT households are more likely to raise criminal children. But again, this almost certainly has to do with the fact that regardless of gender, one person wasn't meant to raise a child—it takes a village, as the saying goes. People without support will have a hard time doing a sufficient parenting job, through no real fault of their own.

Moreover, in study after study, single women are HAPPIER than married women. Married women are miserable because the men are SO BAD. Women have looked at their options and decided that between living with a couple of cats alone in an apartment or taking care of a douchbag that never does the dishes, the cats win every time, and I DON'T BLAME THEM.

Single women with kids do LESS housework than MARRIED women with kids; men are a net negative in their lives.

1. I am now BEGGING to get into chats with actual humans because the AI agents suck SO HARD
2. I interviewed with a company and asked about their AI policy and the policy is: we don't use it for any of our code. The guy said that if it were up to him, he MIGHT allow it a bit, but only at the senior level and above. Otherwise, you have to do your time and learn your lessons. I respect this.
3. I'm surprised at how well people actually DO recognize AI slop and resent it.

So yeah, it's changed my opinion about jobs and interacting with people. I'm literally never going to go to a cafe with automated baristas. I want to talk to people about coffee and what's good and what THEY like. I want to know their dumb little coffee making rituals and what grinder they like and the best cafe THEY'VE ever been to. All AI has done is cement in that I don't like computers as much as I thought I did.
