Everyone I know who makes my equivalent AGI, except for my household, has 1+ dogs, work crazy hours, and have been told that their dogs are lonely and depressed.

Not one or two people.

EVERYONE. Dozens upon dozens of my clients, colleagues, peers, friends from grade school, etc, have a dog or two, and then they have to have someone come spend time with said dog when they're putting 10+ hours away from them.

Wag/Rover/etc is part of their crazy consumer spending. I always am shocked to hear they're spending $1000 a month on their pets.

Americans are insane about their pets. Instead of buying a dog, I invest in corporate veterinary hospitals, because it's crazy profitable.

It's in the green title bar of the story. It's at reuters.com

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. And any government concerned about their economy should block this proposal for this very reason.

That's just what THEY want you to believe!!!!!

You can opt out of the AI stuff by adding -ai to your search, but you have to add it to every query; I haven't found a way to make that permanent.

RTFH (read the fine headline) dude.

Too late. Both Duck Dodgers and Marvin the Martian have claimed Planet X.

When I was at UCSC in the early '80s (specifically '82-'84), there was a minor rebellion among CS students. The curriculum was mostly theoretical, with very few practical options. Programming (in Pascal!) was taught, as a means to learning/implementing theory -- i.e. automata theory, language theory, etc...

The students wanted more practical courses, such as VAX assembly. Of course, in hindsight, the department knew what it was doing.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

The difference is that this article is running in a VMWare instance.

Much as I like VirtualBox, they have a big problem... named Oracle. We've seen what Oracle has done with Java. Who is to say they won't do the same to VBox?

And tomorrow, this satirical bug report will be sent to Stenberg by some AI bot.

There is no right to privacy.

There is no right to your image.

Government can TRY to make those rights, but the freedom of expression is superior to the idea that you can stop me from hand drawing your image when you're at the beach.

I used to go to a certain Starbucks regularly on my way to work (I know... sue me). One morning I walked in, and when I got to the counter, I was given my regular order, before I could even say anything.

Of course, they weren't reading my social media (it didn't exist at the time). But what's happening here is really just good customer service.

T-Rex complained about there not being enough hours in a day to do everything. Wished days were about 1/2 hour longer!!!
