Save for retirement?

They meant trying to get a law passed to extend copy right indefinitely in America as well, obviously for their own properties.

The chart looks about right to me.

Doesn't change the fact that an axe is a terrible shaving implement.

Then you'd have to clean your funnel.

And here I thought this was fish sauce or something.

So that it's resealable.

And pourable.

How so? Women's rights are more important than any sort of nuclear deal. The nuclear issue is comparatively irrelevant.

If you see a Greek deity doing absolutely any kind of bullshit, you ignore it and you hope they don't notice you.

When it comes to dealing with Olympians, the only winning move is not to play.

I think things are advancing more quickly than anyone expects. Also, regarding Star Trek, Data was actually built that way very much on purpose. His (older) brother Lore was perfectly capable of understanding those things, but he was evil and yada yada...

Not to go off on a tangent, but I want to live in Star Trek.

Edit. Also, even along the lines of the current AI remixing model, things can get very convincing very quickly. A parrot doesn't necessarily have to understand what it says, If what it says is still compelling to a listener, which is a separate thing.

Depends on how sophisticated the AI is, but fundamentally, yes.

It probably will be possible, at some point, to have an AI replicate an improvised scene. In fact, you might be able to be watching a movie, pause it, and say something like

"Computer, alter this scene to proceed as though Eddie Murphy (or whatever actor) were improvising his dialogue".

And you'll get something that's indistinguishable from the real thing. Again though, it depends on how sophisticated the AI is and how soon in the future we're talking about. Someday though, probably sooner than you think, you'll be able to have a zoom call with someone, and there will be no way to know if it's an actual person on the other end of the video call or a photorealistic real time image running a basically perfect chatbot. AIs will be able to replicate personality and whatever other characteristics you might want. Won't be tomorrow, but it will be someday, and that someday will probably be sooner than anyone expects.

Yes. Execution is the point. You could have an idea for an action movie and technically do it with finger puppets, I guess, but that hardly counts as seeing your vision realized if you want it to look a certain way. That's the whole point. People will be able to imagine something in their mind and then see it realized,

Anyone can technically make a drawing or a book or a movie now. The point is they'll be able to make one that looks good and lives up to what they intend.

Everyone will be able to have their vision realized, which is at least kind of a good thing. As it is, if you want to have a picture, or a story, or a movie of a specific kind, you have to have the skill, or the money to do it yourself. Either you draw it / write it etc or you pay someone to do so. If you'd like a novel about a space elf detective who meets Mark Twain, or a picture of Abraham Lincoln wrestling Poseidon, you have to either make it yourself or pay someone who can. Cheap, easily available AI generated images will mean that anyone who has an idea for a movie can just see that movie. Anyone who has an idea for a picture they'd like to see, or even a piece of text they would like to read can simply have a computer make it for them and it can be a reality instantly.

Anything you can describe, you can have.

Using an old cell phone or camera look at an eclipse might be viable? It seems like the kind of thing you wouldn't want to do with a current phone then.

I've always wondered if a cell phone camera could be used for this, and whether or not it would be destroyed.
