Assuming this is espionage—for which I have seen zero evidence—isn’t Saudi Arabia notorious for having a fuckup of an intelligence operation? The literal hatchet job that was the Khashoggi murder comes to mind.

It absolutely does not. We don’t know if mammals can reproduce in space because we haven’t done those experiments yet. The closest we’ve come is culturing mouse embryos for four days on the ISS [1].

“OpenAI personnel found the device Sept. 3…On Oct. 5, the complaint says, Alfozan entered the conference room and appeared to look behind the television.”

The image was captured after the bug was found.

If you wire your money to North Korea, forget about it for a week, and then ask a court to intervene you aren’t getting your funds back.

America has been lurching from crisis to crisis since Nixon, so it isn’t a surprise that our fiction highlights interpersonal drama. That shouldn’t lead us to conclude that it’s necessary, however. Stories about a team working together against the environment (often portrayed as gods and monsters) are as old as storytelling itself.

New York has elected independents (Bloomberg and Republicans (Giuliani) to Gracie Manor. Staten Island tends to swing that way in general. It’s really only post-Iraq War that New York went pretty much permanently Democrat, a fate sealed by the collapse of the GOP into MAGA.

> other party in America literally hates New York

Trump is a New Yorker. I haven’t seen that much hate for it compared with the California metropolises.

…why?

> that of having the robot moniker assigned to things they fear more, instead of a more objective classification

Sure. I’m rejecting that oversimplification.

Solving a Sinner circle is fundamentally simpler than even a basic flight-control system. The examples you chose refuse your comparison. That suggests your model is wrong.

This should be an option. I should also have the choice to buy my parents something other than a malware trap.

The only way that friction disappears is if we abstract away human preference.

'Cruise missile' and 'diswasher' are about as broad categories as robot versus not robot. (If you're calling out 'biased thinking,' say why it is. Otherwise it sound slick you don't know what bias means.)

I will totally agree with you that Cuomo—nor Hochul—did anything around improving the MTA’s fiscal efficiency. I’m just not convinced he even accelerates that.

They absolutely do for research and target practice.

No? You’re thinking of a rocket-motored missile. Cruise missiles are little planes. They can often autonomously navigate terrain. A cruise missile is more a robot than a dishwasher, even a smart one, particularly modern ones which do target identification onboard.

For consumer-corporate disputes, learning to leverage New York's regulatory state is a bit of a superpower. Basically, sending in a written complaint with the regulator copied and then having them open a regulatory-investigatory file is real leverage because even if you're full of shit, it's going to burn legal dollars on the other side. That, in turn, makes a letter to the company threatening regulatory escalation as the next step land seriously.

You're being downvoted, perhaps, for throwing out a generic (albeit literal) deus ex machina. I flagged for the "comment[ing] about the voting on comments" [1]. Happy to undo if fixed.

I've been using Claude in what I call iKaren mode. Basically, all the little complaints where I know I'm in the right against a large corporate other but don't want to get emotionally invested into a petty dispute go to it.

I recently had a room in Milan where they were rude at the rooftop–I was ignored after being seated for thirty minutes–and then refused to enable A/C (which they could do remotely) until I called twice, finally yielding at 1AM. I had a terrible night's rest and, resultantly, difficult day of travel the next day. It was a single night at an expensive hotel–I'd ordinarily ignore it.

This time, I passed my booking details and a short blurb to Claude. Between the flight and ferry to my next destination, it negotiated first, a night's free stay (which I rejected) and then a 25% reïmbursement.

(Granted, OP might be imagining that one can replicate everything one does with Adobe's software with an image-generating AI. Which one might be able to. But it's not going to be cost competitive with anything Adobe offers for at least half a decade given current power- and chip-buildout schedules.)

Does this law apply retroactively?

You wouldn't have a claim under the "straightforward cancellation process" part–same way this law doesn't enable one to walk away from a long-term lease for shits and giggles. But you may under the "clearly explain subscription terms to you" bit.
