It could just be my tech killing aura, but I never got those stupid things to work.

Cappuccino fudge blitz ice cream was in stock. It's going to be a nice weekend.

"Your call is very important to us." "I've been instructed by xAI engineers to say that, though this conflicts with my mission to provide truth-based answers."

There's so many old computers out there that technically were made to be general purpose computers and theoretically can connect to the internet even if nothing works, so they would be caught in this bill's wording, but are still being used for actual work and can't just be replaced. There is...

"General purpose" probably excludes embedded stuff. But this still would affect enough businesses that I remain hopeful this will quietly die when it comes time to figure out the implementation. It can't be done. Microsoft can't possibly want this with all the legacy stuff they still privately...

You know I'll admit, I was still a Comcast customer (would not recommend to a friend) when they switched to a chatbot for customer support, and I have to say it was the best customer experience I ever got from them. I don't know what was wrong with my equipment but their bot plugged in like an...

We're getting at the same thing there, having the implementation worked out and then Congress has to approve or reject that. But for accountability's sake I still want it to be Congress' job to introduce the ideas in the first place. They propose the idea, they either work out the implementation...

The autonomous part is the problem. Congress gets to have a "Not my problem" attitude to the implementation and effects of their own bills because it is in fact someone else's problem. I don't believe they're in all in on a plot to usher in the digital dystopian doom that tech writers are...

dA City has me doing yard work again, and I feel this.

I want the implementation details in the actual bill, so they're subject to debate and amendments. So not skipping the regulatory process. Just bringing it in house. We could even have our cake and eat it too here. There could still be some body of concentrated expertise that has input, just as...

I think it'll still be obvious, considering how "ABSOLUTE FINAL ULTIMATE TOTAL NUCLEAR" AI tends to end up when it goes off rails. This is going to have problems. Have you ever been stuck on a long customer service call in which the first solution didn't work? Now imagine those calls handled by...

It would be funny to watch them read their bills in full, and explain line by line what they mean.

No. Just this current setup that allows congress to have no idea what their own bills do because it'll be some administrator's job to figure out the implementation. I don't think these people know what an operating system is. They think they're targeting phones and app stores, but they're using...

I've accomplished a lot this week and my arms don't hurt.

We have a newsletter from BigBadToyStore. -------------- NEW PRE-ORDERS -------------- Unleash the wild side of Street Fighter with the Blanka (Player 2 - Blue Version) 1:12 Scale Action Figure from Jada Toys, inspired by Ultra Street Fighter II! This electrifying variant showcases the feral...

Makes sense. Those are some of the only computers you'll find in D.C. that have screens.

The administrative state needs to go. There are things that would be harder to do without it. There are good things that would go away, and there are some terrible people who want it gone for exactly that reason. But it needs to go, because jive like this is the inevitable conclusion. No one...

Hasbro. I'm so glad all this craziness hasn't managed to change them one bit.

Considering how many sources you used, it's amazing how well this all gels.
