I think we're at the stage where we want the AI to be truly agentic, but they're really loose cannons. I'm probably the last person to call for more regulation, but if you aren't closely supervising your AI right now, maybe you ought to be held responsible for what it does after you set it loose.

I agree. With rights come responsibilities. Letting something loose and then claiming it's not your fault is just the sort of thing that prompts those "Something must be done about this!!" regulations, enshrining half-baked ideas (that rarely truly solve the problem anyway) into stone.

Under Prop 64: "Employers can still enforce their own drug policies, including firing workers who test positive for weed."

Which is as it should be, a business owner ought to be able to make decisions about what employees to hire or retain.

But will we see being a marijuana user becoming a protected class against which you can't discriminate?


I think you might have demonstrated that you can't read the words that I wrote. Perhaps I should turn this into a special product for people like yourself.


I've got an old Dyson Animal vacuum, and I'm always impressed with how full of dirt the canister gets. So I've got high hopes for a robotic Dyson.

That said, the reviews trickling into Amazon kind of deflate those hopes: suction is great, but otherwise it seems to have all the kinds of problems that all the robot vacuums have.

Definitely not something I'd be willing to plunk down a thousand dollars for. Here's to hoping the next version is a marked improvement.


> Apps owning their own data in Android should make you happy, not sad, because it's what prevents a malicious app from hoovering up all of your Tinder messages, or your financial data from Mint.

That's well and good, but it also prevents YOU from hoovering up all your data.


Wouldn't the napkin be touchin the table then? Or do you ask for a fresh napkin so you don't have to use the one from the table? And ask about the storage of the napkins and silverware, in comparison to any cleaning solutions or other chemicals?


Aren't they able to cut funding like that, because there's a willing supplier of loan money for the students?


The trick is getting your neighbor to call your wife Alexa, to trigger the Dot to wake up and listen.
