I used to be with you, but decided it's hopeless and now tag everything with it. Better with a fast collapse.
Automatic lights on your new car when the sun goes down - artificial intelligence. A noise when your smoke detector smells smoke - artificial intelligence. Sprinklers automatically going on at 5am every morning - artificial intelligence. Hot water from the tank, but not too hot - artificial intelligence. The gas pump telling you to have a nice day - artificial intelligence (wasn't that polite of it?). Even better if it suggests adding tekrameme to your gas to extend the life of your car and eliminate emissions...how thoughtful. There you go, a computer thinking about your best interests and not only of itself. Not only artificial intelligence, but artificial empathy.
I used to take many people hours or days to lay out an advert, print it, stuff it in an envelope and mail it.
Can you serve up a web page in 0.4uS? I didn't think so. - Teaching computers to do things better than humans. http programmers are AI engineers.
And inverting a 1200x1200 matrix in a millisecond is definitely the sign of intelligence. It's doubtful whether most people would ever be capable of that.
You missed it. Everything involving a computer is called AI now. Especially if it involves a first or second order feedback system. The computer 'knows' where it is and 'knows' where it wants to be so uses the difference using the application of algorithms, typically a subtraction and multiplication.
See, computers are smart. Smarter than most of us. How else could they do 60 multiplications a second and never make a mistake? Can you do that? I didn't think so. Computers are smarter than you, and by you, I mean all of humanity.
Screw the little guy. This is about progress. If it's good for humanity and the big guys are building and selling it, what's the problem?/s
In ten years we can read stories of megacorp ripping off student designs for profit instead of how megacorps stifle innovation for profit. It's the circle of technology in justices.
Other than som electronics, are there any physical or mechanical items that cannot be laser digitized, run through a piece of software to turn into gcode and then automatically be duplicated on a cnc machine.For $100k, I could set up a shop to duplicate most physical objects. Why would I hire 5 engineers for two years to design something that could be copied and put into production and sold for the cost of materials in a month?
I worked for a small manufacturing research company that would have been out of business in ten seconds if it weren't for patents.
Big companies were approached multiple times, none thought it worthwhile. After many tens of thousands of dollars of development (in a literal garage) it was shown to be very profitable when a customer of said big companies placed a large order with us. It could have been easily copy-able by taking apart, running the pieces through a laser scanner and reproduced on a CNC machine. They could have gotten a new money saving device no-risk, for free. No development costs

It was also a little surly
that's in no wise due to the power drill being more intelligent.
Depends on if the power drill is driven by a a dc commutator motor or is a brushless esc/FET driven by a uP running a commutation state machine.
Everything is marketing-based now. How often do you see any real new tech? It mostly ground to a halt and advertising took its place,

The end is nigh.
Science doesn't have facts. That is for mathematicians and philosophers. Science has data, or evidence.
I doubt much of my life is ruled by big tech's data decisions. Reap what you sow blah blah blah,
Duct tape would be a lot easier. It's what I use on my webcam.
Insurance is the most heavily regulated industry there is. They cannot legally screw people.
I remember .... nevermind. Just get off my lawn.
Are my Raspberry Pis considered iot devices?
to set up License Plate-Scanning Tech in front of marijuana shops in states where it is legal?
I know a few hypocrites who take that label with pride.
I've never used any of those. How about a development environment. Even gwbasic.
Nothing, but the previous comment said patent and not software patent and so many people here are against patents in general.

And no one noticed
I wrote firmware for many years. Drivers are a big part to all of that, depending on the application.

ohohoh
About 10 years ago, someone surveyed scientists and engineers and BR was voted the best SF nivie.
Did you mean prescient?
