I have to try this IRL some time. :D

I would not do that without first looking into applicable laws regarding legal liability for content and requirements to remove things. Depending on where in the world you are, this can be a minefield.

Already a thing: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/skyfall-ai-can-ai-run-business-without-human-ceo-1809856

There are plenty of carnivore species that are also prey. House cats and some other small cat species are one example. Polar bears mainly eat seals, which are also carnivores.

I mean this is an actual plot point in Harry Potter, with the tales of Beedle the Bard…

Finding restaurants can be done with the same OpenStreetMap-based apps as navigation. I use OsmAnd all the time to find out where restaurants are.

But OpenStreetMap doesn’t have a review functionality, nor is it trivial to add one from an external site to one. Apparently there have been efforts in this direction, but I don’t know a lot about them: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Reviews

So I don’t have an answer for reviews. But the review databases that currently exist are a manipulation battleground which people should take with a grain of salt anyway.

That is not new. They’ve been doing that since the 2000s.

The way I understand it is that there are at least two reasons, maybe more:

• Google (like all tech companies) uses a lot of open source software internally, so benefits from it being improved
• Google wants to train possible future employees

Not everything Google or other big tech companies do is necessarily bad; we should be taking advantage of the good parts of what they do.

And yet, since the total number of pictures taken has become a lot higher in the digital (and especially smartphone) era, we will have way more surviving photographic documentation of everything that’s happened since then.

If people in 1986 took (say) 10 analog photos per month on average and 9 of them survive, that’s a lot less than if people in 2026 took 100 analog photos per month and 30 of them survive.

They do pretty much the same thing. If there are nuances, I do not know about them.

Doesn’t Android require a Google account anyway?

No, they are not, stop posting talking points that justify authoritarian government policies, those aren’t showerthoughts.

Correct. Division of money into currency units is entirely arbitrary, there are many currencies where a thousand units is a wildly different amount from a thousand US dollars or euros or similar-valued units.

The first two depend on centralized services and nonfree software, which are things I don’t like. The third doesn’t. The fourth doesn’t have to.

So by those metrics I like cryptocurrency the most. In fact I have invested a bit of my savings in Bitcoin. I have never used Uber or AirBnB meanwhile.

Can’t I just ask it for the seahorse emoji once in a while and achieve the same result or something…

It already does, it’s called inflation.

Also are you talking about physical money, or bank accounts, or what…?

Because there’s no good reason to do that that justifies the cost and effort.

Hard forks are generally fairly rare, e.g. you could ask the same about the Linux kernel…

which is however not a fork, either hard or soft, of anything

Maybe not in English? Plenty of people are named Groß in the German speaking world.

Probably just ask it for the seahorse emoji or something idk

It does.
