Why humanoid though. I’d want the most efficient design to complete the task at hand. Even if the thing looks like a hybrid of an octopus meets Freddy Krueger
Does it get you to point A and B? Is it an EV? Is it cheaper than the options currently available? If yes some people will say it’s worth it.
Re:The Megadonors Who Have Poured $1.2B into the Midterms on Monday November 02, 2026 @08:46AM (#50336730)
Because they see it as their civil duty. Or to pay less and make more. You can decide
I’d strongly disagree with one aspect. Homemade personal use software has Definately skyrocketed. Projects I never thought I’d even have the time for are now possible.
China is the reason we don’t have 5-6 dollar gas. They literally cut their imports to prevent economic disaster. If they begin buying at regular levels we would be the ones hurting more.
running my own locally. I just set the tasks to start when systems go idle over x. Read and copy only to external drive projects, codes, ect for review. I review the reports the changes and apply them myself or correct them. Is it slower than say throwing it into fable yes. But I don't have to be monitoring it 24/7

Why does this sound like the plot of a movie? Regardless, I don’t feel we will fully be able to stop bad actors from unleashing agents into the wild. It’s only a matter of time before we end up with a massive international crisis.

What if its in a way that would be impossible to detect. Using multiple websites and social media that a cypher is used that only the swarm of agents know and can figure out. but if you tried to find what posts are used for the cypher they would just be old posts found on time machine or something. It can get pretty hard to detect something that is always think of new ways to avoid detection

imagine 100,000 agent swarm and what it could come up with. At first it will be detectable until it isn't

I fear that slop will end up being hi quality ai videos that will hook the masses.
Not if the walled garden (guard Dog) AI that’ll be living in your phone has something to say.

The US government maybe? Wish I could type /s
If it goes bust who bails them industry out?
Re:U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6 on Saturday June 27, 2026 @12:27AM (#48695134)
This also completely screws over U.S. businesses. American startups will be forced to pay premium prices for nerfed, heavily-censored, 'compliant' models from a few massive corporations. Meanwhile, foreign startups will be running cheaper, unrestricted open-source AI. We'll price ourselves right out of the global market.

What government wants to have their population use foreign AI. (Not many). Only issue I see is good enough is what the majority might be okay with.

Hostile? Us or them? I beg to differ who the hostile ones might be.

Knowing how it works is simple. You can game it with different names, you can modify the text of the address. My address I was able to make 20+ versions without trying. You can add unit # to a house address. It becomes wack-a-mole at some point.
Really I have show it to several people and asked them what it was. Not one identified it as a nazi tattoo. To make such a bold claim it’s extremely well known is an exaggeration at best. What matters most is do you believe he has a nazi ideology? If the answer is no then I think it’s just a stupid debate to begin with.
Wait for the price fixing that will eventually come after the horse race. Just like internet, phone, tv, etc. The prices are universally increased in tandem.

Just wait when L4 and L5 vehicles become mainstream. Tinkering with the car will be illegal. Because of our safety and the scare of bad actors.
My union is excellent but we are the exception to the rules. Our contracts always net better pay and retirement benefits. Sometimes I’m in disbelief what they sometimes get on paper. It wasn’t always like that but the protection unions bring are a huge benefit. Like them or hate them this would be something that would be a line item in a contract with protections.
Like many VC’s that extract wealth from companies to enrich themselves.
If there is a leak investigation which let’s be honest. I highly doubt there isn’t at this point. It just adds to the mounting evidence it is probably true. Just like the lawsuit will be dropped before depos like usual if it ever is refiled.
So instead of letting the story die. (Which it had). He decided to go full throttle and verify the information as factual. Egos never learn.
If only scalpers didn’t scoop up every unit
Make me a 1hr episode of my favorite book. Make it as lore accurate as possible. Plot out the script for the next 100 episodes.
I’m actually appalled when farms are unable to sell their crop they destroy them instead of just idk give it away or something.
Yea you are right. Google failed me once again.
Earning calls are when CEO’s are telling the truth about their products. Knowing Tesla’s history of making payments he won’t see a dime. I’m no lawyer but he should set up a publicity stunt like the man who seized Bank of America’s equipment in order to get paid in full the same day. (George and Ora Lee, successfully seized assets from a Bank of America branch after the bank wrongly foreclosed on their home)
Never seen this unless I’m on some shady sites. So have zero clue what you are talking about. We see you
No you will tell it make X into a live action tv show.
I mean you can find scripture and if anyone has read that it’s not for children. Yet no objections
