Or maybe they sell that data to another company that operates kind of like a collections agency, which takes on the 'risk' of storing the data, then repeatedly calls and offers to give them their AI friend back at an extortionate rate.

The data privacy side of this is an interesting conversation as well. Think of the information an employee or hacker could leak about a person after they spent some time with such an instance.


Imagine if they could transform the AI companion model into an extortionist model.


I can see the headlines:

3,567 Dead - Destitute Robosexual Blows Up Collections Agency In Suicide Bombing

“This is the 53rd such incident this year. Current year death toll from these attacks is now 118,689 in current city, Legislators are pointedly ignoring protestors demanding AI rights and an end to extortionate fees charged to reinstate AI lover subscriptions.”


I'm guessing they avoid any arthropods.

Chocolate and feces isn't really a great analog.


Same. And its only really an issue for me because around here the home/SOHO IPv6 rollout is transparent to clients.

So people who have been trusting NAT to be a firewall wake up one day to their network being directly routable, and are none the wiser.


Depending on laptop, quite possibly.

If it's thermal throttling, then cooling is going to help.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for this comment. That was one of the red flags for me as well.

"Often suspected" is a deliberately misleading and alarmist way to present the current scientific data on the relationship between aluminium and Alzheimer's disease.


Clicking through your link gets some stats that agree with them [1], based on this paper [2]

Those are preventable causes of death, not all causes of death.


Please find proper equipment to play them.

Using a microgroove stylus designed for vinyl will not do your shellac records any favours. Also the recordings will sound terrible.

There are several modern cartridges that support 78rpm stylii, and lots of vintage kit available cheap.

Also careful, they shatter somewhat easily, and like to get mouldy.


> holy shit, blinking backlights are a massive danger source

Any citation for this? I've never experienced this supposed effect.


Is the background animated or something? I'm not sure what's going on but this site is painfully slow to scroll.

It's pegging a core at 100%, and I've got an overclocked 2600k, so its nothing to sneeze at. Firefox on Linux.


> After the 10,000/25,000/50,000 insertions, do I just need to buy a new phone?

I don't know about the new connector's durability, but if it breaks, just put in a new one.

I had to replace the dock connector in my iphone 4 and it cost me $30 and an hour of time.

Ifixit shows you how to do it for a 5: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+5+Lightning+Connector+Rep...


So... If you use it too much just open the phone up, void your warranty, and fix it yourself?

Versus (at least in theory) the design of microusb in which the solution is simply "buy a new $2 cable"?
