There's never a good reason for a vendor to lock you in. There isn't a single problem that is actually solved that way. It is 100% always a money lock in tool and literally never about safety or security. Users using your product

Nintendo literally uses people for playing their games in ways they don't like, regardless of if the user has actually broken any laws. They'll sue over people posting videos about games!

Without regulation and enforcement many people will give the buyer less and less until they give the buyer nothing and it winds up a scam.

Depends on who trashed it and why. Because you screwed up? You ride the bus. Because you were piloting an experimental craft in a test? Take a week off. Because you were in a billion dollar jet and the landing gear broke making the plane th

There's a difference between taking one thing and putting something else in it's spot, and truly REPLACING something. Yes, some ads have AI generated actors. You know because you can tell because they're "not quite right

US wants to maintain chip manufacturing presence and expertise within the borders, so saving everyone would achieve the goal but at a higher cost, so they're just focusing on the US ones in trouble.

Indeed. The HTTPS connection is enecrypted, and they TRY to use TLS first when delivering mail, but it will fall back to cleartext easily if the other end doesn't support TLS.

I'm just so glad people are seeing this. I started saying this literally days after ChatGPT came out and I started examining the technology. It's SUPER useful, but it's assistive, it can't be trusted to do things autonom

I see LLM coding as hinting on steroids. I don't trust it to actually write all of my code, but sometimes it can get me started, like a template.

And the fact Biden didn't use the bully pulpit is a real indictment on the administration. LBJ knew how to whip up support from recalcitrant congresspeople.

And it's really hard to dislodge those mistaken ideas. I had a conversation with a member of the board of my last company and he was going on about AI agents and how awesome they were because it could book a plane ticket from SF to LA.

You're actually agreeing with me. I'm not blaming social media nor alcohol, and you are not blaming them as well. Regulation hasn't eliminated alcoholism or drunk driving, etc. We need to go back to the days of teaching kids

Probably not. Large corps are willing to bear the costs of maintaining a lot of control over customers just to keep them from being exposed to a competitor. If they ever open it up, it'll be due to laws, not change of heart on Apple&#x
