Now THAT’S a stupid question.
Good Job.
The answer to your first question is yes.
Children don’t get to set their own boundaries, that’s why we consider them children. Once they’re ready we call them adults.
If I allowed them to set their own boundaries, they’d probably already be dead. They get some pretty stupid ideas sometimes.
I’m laughing so hard right now.
You’re so idealistic. When you grow up and join the real world you’ll realize that what you said was funny too.
A) You clearly don’t have kids.
B) If everything they did as parents was perfect, people would have felt it was unreal, more so than even the super powers part.
C) It’s a TV Show, conflict and drama keeps people paying attention.
D) Homelander… there may not be stupid questions, but clearly there are stupid statements.
100% inheritance tax on any value over 5 million, and slam shut any loopholes that get found.
Force them to either spend it stimulating the economy or give it up to society directly.
The whole thing with religion is not needing to prove or justify anything to other people.
It’s a social “team” and teams need goals to exist.
When it wasn’t the Gays or abortions it was something else.
The crusades are an obvious example.
The church has cycled through enemies for the entire time its been around. Hell, they even split the religion into different religions just to have someone to play as the “other” and to consolidate power under new leadership.
Many hours a day. I have kids that still need my attention, we all eat dinner together, watch shows or play games together, I drive them to their sports, etc.
Just look at the data, there are historical records going back a century in many locations around the US. Find one close to you and do some digging.
The simple answer is that crazy does happen, and has happened historically, but it’s much more common now than it used to be.
That’s actually not a bad idea with the charging. I don’t currently have a smart socket like that but it’s definitely something I could pick up and test. They should be returning it to charge after use anyways, so we can set that as a rule so that it’s always properly charged.
I wonder if I could tell the difference in power use between plugged in to charge, plugged in and playing, and plugged in charging AND playing. Maybe just the first two. Needs testing.
I did a quick search to see if there are any smart USB chargers that also report the Device Information rather than just on/off status, and couldn’t find anything. That would be useful since it is part of the USB standard to be able to collect that information when a device is plugged in.
Good movie, good acting, and even though the tech was absolutely silly the core concept is still as valid today as it was 30 years ago.
The Net (1995)
Our dashboard is primarily informational in nature, located in the kitchen, and meant to help the kids figure out what is going on. It’s just a standard 32" TV, with no touch input or anything.
Inputs in the future: Technically you can use the remote control to interact with the dashboard, but we don’t really want the kids doing that because it could also be used to switch away from the dashboard. I’m still considering alternative inputs (Voice, Touchpad, etc.) but we really need a way to differentiate between the children if we’re going to do this and I haven’t found a good option for that yet.
Your analogy is bad.
The human brain doesn’t need a massive data center, but neither does the compute to run a single agent.
We build entire cities to apply multiple human brains to problems.
Lots of AI hatred driving these. All emotional though rather than objective.
The question itself is also pretty stupid. My kids do “art” and it’s absolute slop. Most human made art is terrible, and never sees the light of day. It’s thrown in a recycle bin, forgotten by the mind, or sung to a shower wall.
A bunch of Art contests with AI winners (unknown by judges) have shown AI art can be as good or better than something done by an artist. This isn’t just for visual art either, they have been popular at producing songs too.
It feels like a lot of people are trying to reframe “art” as only things that have intentional meaning or an emotional story, rather than things you enjoy seeing and or hearing (or other senses).
AI songs can make me feel just as good as something from a musician. I don’t need all the “I saw them in person and got the t-shirt” bragging rights to enjoy them. I haven’t heard an AI song that’s as good as the best human made songs yet, but I’ve definitely heard AI songs that are far better than some of the worst human made songs (Anyone remember Rebecca Black?)
I have real paintings up on my walls, from artists I’ve never heard of, with images of things I have no connection or knowledge of. I didn’t buy them, they were purchased by someone else. They still look nice. Would I even be able to tell if they were AI? Probably not.
Does that mean that I can’t also enjoy specific pieces of art made by specific artists? Absolutely not. I will continue listening to Sandstorm by Darude until I die. I love a good Keanu Reeves movie. An Anne McCaffrey or Terry Pratchett Book.
AI art is a reflection of human art, so it must have some good parts. Will it take over all art? Never. Does anyone want it to? No.
Just like recordings of music didn’t kill live music, AI art will not kill real artists. It will definitely shake up the financial side of it though.
Using paid help from a third world country to tie them for you as their only job.
There’s almost no support for PD that high yet across devices. It will definitely take some time to roll out. The only laptop I know that supports it is the Framework 16, and it requires an extra purchase of a $150 charger.
It aint just academia.

Also had our AC die, leaked and needed a piece replacement. Was fixed under warranty though so not really a problem.
Love my kia Niro ev. Looks like any other normal car. Fun to drive.
That last thing could be said for most humans, especially those in the lower salary brackets. We still employ them in droves, and supervisors to supervise them too.
