Talking about agreeing to start talks was the start of the talks.

it is unclear whether the engineer meant 'is going to do it' or 'have the capability to do it'. There are lots of ways these things *could* cause a lot of damage if we put them in the right position to manage water and electricity for example. And since the people "running" those systems will no longer know how to do anything since they rely on the AI, well, here comes mass death because we put vibe coders in charge of the water supply.

I am sure there are more, but I heard a company called 'openAI' has been selling this for quite some time already.

Anyone want to suggest an alternative GPS navigation app for Android that just looks for the simplest route that way the old standalone, unconnected devices used to? Google Maps is so prone to routing me to some alternate route through a small back road with a dangerous left hand turn across five lanes of traffic at the end that I can't trust it to navigate anywhere I have not been before.

I thought the other day that with mobile phones and people touching them all the time and leaving them sitting around on various surfaces, the 'telephone sanitizer' isn't as ridiculous as it was when Adams wrote his book.

Sadly the support for an impeachment is not there. Of course, we have had presidents who did things just as abhorrent, like lie to justify starting a war. But today a long term trends is reaching its apex: winning over anything and everything. As long as 'we' win, no other moral consideration applies.

Signing is not required in user space, you can load any DLL you like there and call it whatever you want.

One third of accessible pages, maybe. From my job I see a lot of slop news and fake blogs, various clickbait scams and such. So I might believe that one third of the pages on the network are AI generated. That is not the same as saying one third of the pages a real person ever intentionally looks at are AI generated.

I believe there is or was a court case in progress for a similar monopoly leverage attempt by Amazon, where they get sellers to agree they will never charge a lower price on a different platform.

What about a passenger?

My car has voice integration with Spotify but it is far from perfect.

I believe that was the parent's point. We could not simply build another bridge the same way we built it originally. In the case of a bridge, as you say, newer technology exists and we could build a new bridge with those. In the case of technology to bring humans to the moon, those new technologies do not yet exist. But we could not simply build a 60's era capsule and rocket.

Just the other day someone told me I should take some dietary supplement (I forget which) to clean out all the spike proteins from my bloodstream. All left over from the COVID vaccines.

I just learned recently that some call those nag screens "dickovers"

Because none of the people who were first on the land survived to the present day. All the people there now were 'on the land' at approximately the same time.
