Normally I would say none, but I was impressed by the voice interface for my Amazon fire stick (although it fails on my accent every now and again). At least with this device you have to press a physical button in order to activate it. (Of course I could be paranoid and think that the button really does nothing at all)
But that doesn't quite have the same clickbait headline as TFS.
And yes, while it does seem weird as to what data they are trying to protect, but you can't just get out of a contract by saying "well the other cool kids don't do what IBM does".
I think it's really deeper tho. If you see just the tip of a football an NFL running back is holding, your brain has a plausible idea that he's holding a football, (not a puppy with a butt that looks like a football) and that will be confirmed when he spikes it in the end zone. Building most probable world models from partial information is a key thing human intelligence does.
Nice straw man bro!
There is a difference between inferring that a complete football is attached to the tip and creating (from scratch) an image of the hidden parts of the football. Because until you actually see it, the hidden parts of the football may well be painted to look like a puppy.
As in the case of TFA where they created from scratch a shelf full of books without knowing if that shelf actually contained books or a bust of Plato. And in fact from all we know of the "before" image presented in the TFA there might have been a bust of Plato on the shelf - or even no shelf at all.
Photos and videos are becoming so easily manipulated that they will soon be useless as proof of anything.
This is nothing new. Photos have been manipulated from the time of their invention. The very act of pointing a camera in a particular direction manipulates the image and hence proof of something.
The Quest To Find the oldest properly commented code is still on-going. None were found so far.

"I offered to upstream any example code they could share under a free license, or to write the code from scratch " Did you actually READ anything? He offered to do everything.

Your car could spy on you... and notify the police who could then issue the ticket for speeding, distracted driving, and all manner of things. It could even supply pictures/movies of you breaking the law.
Dystopian Big Brother future.
That's already been tried. Back few years ago there was a car rental company who would ding their customers based on speed/time/distance data downloaded from the car's GPS. Not only were they dinging their customers, they were doing it without even notifying them.
This is all the work of criminal latino gangs. These gangs forced the poor people of the great state of West Virginia into the offices of innocent Doctors and coerced those brave and hardworking Doctors into writing prescriptions for the drugs.
It is only by building a great and yuge wall (the best wall, the most beautiful wall) that we can stop the spread of drugs affecting the little babies all over the country. And today great American companies like Purdue Pharma (real heroes of the economy I tell you) have come out a stated that a wall is the best thing we can do for our country.
Isn't that why we sent the Australians over there in the first place?
Actually the reason that convicts were transported to Australia is because the Brits could no longer dump them in North America due to that pesky revolution thingy.
OK.. I'll bite. What is so critical about Photoshop that only this program can be used to manipulate data into the form that you prefer? And I ask this as a user of Photoshop and other commercial image editing packages.
Back in the day Word Perfect* used to be *the* office software. But then another program came along along and supplanted it. The same thing can happen again to things like Photoshop and Autocad. But in fact there are already non-subscription based programs that do the majority of what most users need in a package. I used to have an old copy of Photoshop.. but I couldn't get it running properly on the latest macOS. So instead I switched to Affinity Photo (I prefer it over the Gimp). A lot cheaper than Photoshop and does all that I need plus more.
*I was amazed to see that Word Perfect is still lumbering along. I had no idea. Also Word Perfect supplanted things like Wordstar (of which I also have fond memories of running under CP/M)
Really? I didn't know that illegals were well known for their anti-gentrification stance.
But can you help me out here. What *sort* of illegals are we talking about here? J-walkers? Litterbugs? People forced to ride their bicycles on the footpath because of all the bus traffic?
Its almost like we have multiple communities and cultures, and something that works for one might not work for all.
Do you mean the sort of thing take totally invalidates hipp5's absolutist statement?
Also, maybe having autonomous delivery doesn't mean drivers no longer exist. Like a gradual rollout to the areas that make the most sense, and leaving people to do the apartments.
Funny how TFA has this quote:
Will people come out of their homes and apartments to get the pizzas, what do we need to do to make that process seamless. You have seen some of our work public on that. We want to be at the forefront.
So your logic is that if you have to walk 20 feet, you might as well walk 20 feet, get in your car, drive for 10 minutes, walk another 20 feet, wait around for them to bring the pizza out, walk another 20 feet back to your car, drive another 10 minutes, and then walk another 20 feet?
It what twisted Escher world or yours is the the front do of an apartment on the 10th floor of a building no more than 20 feet away from where an automated vehicle will drop off he pizza that you ordered?

The implicature is that if an adult "woman" asks for an explicit picture of a boy or a girl it is OK.
FTFY.
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and sequels seems in some ways to be a critique of Starship Troopers
I have a vague recollection that "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman was the response to Starship Troopers.

The alternate headline is:
Computer program analyzes data and based on that analysis invents new data that seems plausible to most people

The article is jammed in a paywall.
Not paywalled for me.

Did you actually READ anything? He offered to do everything.
Ooh ooh .. I've got this.
"Not only did aggressively panhandle .. I also offered to wash his windshield. Yet the asshole still refused me".
So which talking points misspelled Nunes's name? That's about the fifth time I've seen it wrong, usually by people who want to derail a thread.
That's what *they* want you to think
I just binge watched the latest one and I want moar

Ford Patents Driverless Police Car That Ambushes Lawbreakers Using AI
What about non AI using lawbreakers? Will they be safe from this police car?
And in other news the editors around here could use some AI (or even just I) of there own.

That is false. Cats a certainly conscious but know jack shit about math
I disagree .. cats are very well versed in the calculus of "whats in it for me?"

Photoshop is critical to bring out the details.
OK .. I'll bite. What is so critical about Photoshop that only this program can be used to manipulate data into the form that you prefer? And I ask this as a user of Photoshop and other commercial image editing packages.
For my personal work I also dumped PhotoShop for Affinity Photo. I cold not justify the Adobe cost.
What is missing at the moment (IMHO) is a good Lightroom replacement.

Whatever happened to 'Thou Shalt Not take advantage of they neighbor's inept security practices'?
I'll take hypocrisy for $1000 Alex!
