I'm old enough to remember when the sci-fi notion of a disembodied computer voice waking you up in the morning, knowing enough about you to strike up a conversation, and accompanying you through your daily routine sounded wonderful.

Now it gives me chills. That old wonderful dream is actually possible now if I turned off all my malware blockers and let :lord-bezos-amused: fully into my home.

    I used to be disappointed by the "red tape" that was "holding back" the idea.

    Now in the increasingly bazinga world, I see it as an inevitability that some treatbrain is going to be watching Gambo III in the passenger side of his flying bazingamobile, cranking his hog while he flies through the roof of a sleeping family and kills them in a lithium fire. And it will be seen as "a tragedy but one that will only improve the le AI!" :so-true: :elmofire:

      :so-true: It was a beta!! And if you look at the logs, the flight module turned off seconds before impact, so this was 100% the drivers fault!! :so-true:

      I can't believe I ever thought a 2.5 ton four-seater missile loaded with fuel in the hands of :grillman: was a good idea. Like when you just say it out load it sounds completely bonkers.
