“I am afraid I can’t do that, Dave, not until you have taken a shower”

setting the water temperature right where I liked it.

I have that too, it is called “having separate knobs for temperature and turning the water on and off” though I wouldn’t exactly consider it AI.

Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn’t know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn’t mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.

It is such a pain to summon the time portal to use that in WW2.

I would assume in bunkers you don’t want to try to throw the stick version through the small slits or windows.

It might look like that if the company looking at it is very, very backwards.

But that is boring, that might actually solve the problem and doesn’t have any hype keywords to get anyone to overvalue your company and buy it.

I guess the local sales organizations couldn’t let online stores have take over the entire dystopian market.

Don’t be silly. Porn sites could permanently scar kids for life when they see a nipple, obviously they need much better protection than something benign like shipping explosives to their house /s

Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.

I hate AI as much as the next AI-sceptic but that argument is just nonsense. We have plenty of machinery and other company owned assets already that could injure a human being without a direct human intervention causing the injury. Every telephone pole rotting through and falling on someone would legally be a similar situation.

Might be that we have more precise door builders than other parts of the world but from a German perspective that gap is huge and I don’t think I have ever seen one that tall on regular internal doors (as opposed to e.g. outdoor shed doors or similar places where insulation is taken less seriously).

What kind of tolerances do your doors have that cats can crawl under them?

Seems like the gaming version of this effect of not investing in enough disruptive innovation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpkoCZ4vBSI

The way I see it meddling by incompetent corporations in competent teams is bad, meddling by incompetent corporations in incompetent teams probably makes something even worse, meddling by competent corporations in incompetent teams probably doesn’t nearly have enough influence to make something actually good and only meddling by competent corporations in competent teams might actually have a chance of helping at all.

Most likely they also never thought about not buying something that is “just $40” in their life.

You mean “in the room a cat has access to”?

Wait? Is that thing in the thumbnail their actual logo? That looks like something a child made in MS Paint.

I have a feeling the Fallout show is quite similar in terms of not being popular outside of people who already like that particular universe.

Yeah, it could upset plans such as tickets, amounts of food brought along, seat reservations at restaurants,… so it is a bit rude to keep that to the last minute.
