Would an AI robot wife be on time for functions or would it have a delay routine installed as part of the programming?

The older I get the less stress I want. I would hope that falls under accountability . With all the talk AI is going to change the world, might as go all out and really change it.
In reality though, there will be some good things from it, what exactly, time will tell.

It is not clear to me whether code will be treated the same way, but the courts (in the US, at least) have already decided that AI art is not copyrightable.

Paraphrasing here, and the details may not be exactly right, but the decision is based on the idea that a thing is copyrightable because it is the direct output of human creativity and skill. The court decided that writing the text prompt and having the AI model produce the image didn't count.

This is in line with other past non-AI decisions on copyrightability. E.g., there was a court case over whether photographs produced when a chimpanzee was handling a camera and pushed the shutter button could be copyrighted or not (the decision was that the images could not be copyrighted).

Interesting points that give me more angles to look into on the copyright stuff.

Better hope AI doesn't help women figure out how to synthesize babies without any help from men. That's when they will kill us all.

They've been working on it since the first birth.

If AI really wanted to reduce stress in my world, instead of treating cancer, it should cure it. Although, many jobs would be lost in the process. I've lost a lot of friends over the years from it, it's time.

I wouldn't worry too much, with Kamala Harris being the "AI czar. Lol.

If the AI female robot was programmed with timeliness and accountability, it would be a man. Request denied.

She's going to get to the root causes of AI.

AI is already taking a toll. My daughter does independent technical writing for several companies and proof reading of commercial text for TV and radio. She has noticed a downturn in her business. She has also noticed some of the commercials she used to do are getting a few what she calls machine generated language composition errors. The other thing I have noticed is the slightly "electronic" voices on some adds. Computers will lie to us without any guilt, beware. I guess the Whitehouse Press Secretary's job will be in jeopardy very soon.

I've been seeing "articles" and such on the internet on various topics related to auto repair, and they seem to start out OK, but after a few sentences, you can tell the were not intelligently written by a real person, and are probably just entry points for tracking and exploitation technology.

If AI is writing articles for people, the quality is pretty damn shitty, to the point of being completely and entirely useless like this kind of shit I'm finding on various searches for how-do DIY information. If the writing itself can't pass a rudimentery Turing Test, we have a way to go before the Terminator shows up.

My wife does not want onion. I want extra onion. Neither of us wants lettuce. What are the odds of getting the order right if there's a human in the loop? AI might be better.

AI to replace supermodels Link

STRIKE AI POSE AI ‘to replace supermodels’ in creepily realistic fashion campaigns as concern grows for humans losing jobs to machines

AI order taking sounds like an excellent idea.

What concerns me is the false outputs.

If someone says “I have a nut allergy, but I’d really like Butter Pecan” I do not need a computer to say,”It’s great that you really like pecans as ours are special allergen free pecans.”

AI has already infiltrated hospital care. A nurse can override the suggestion, but has to consult first with a physician. UC Davis is using AI designed by Epic, the company that brought you the records from hell.

OLD THREAD ALERT

Oracle lays off up to 30,000 staff with 6am email

Laid off workers were informed of their job status in early morning email

Tech giant Oracle has laid off thousands of its workforce in massive job cuts that could reportedly impact 30,000 employees globally amid the company’s push to fund more artificial intelligence infrastructure.

Employees in the U.S., India, Canada, Mexico, and other countries began receiving job termination emails from “Oracle Leadership” at about 6 am local time Tuesday, sparking what could be the largest layoff in the company’s history, Business Insider first reported.

About 12,000 of the company’s employees in India have been laid off, according to local news reports.

Oracle’s termination emails to its laid-off staff cited “broader organisational change” in what is widely seen as a reference to the tech giant’s recent push to build more AI data centres.

“After careful consideration of Oracle's current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organisational change. As a result, today is your last working day,” the email reportedly said.

The cloud computing service provider employed 162,000 people as of May 2025, meaning the job cuts could affect 18 per cent of its workforce.

“After signing your termination paperwork, you will be eligible to receive a severance package subject to the terms and conditions of the severance plan,” the company said.

“Access to your computer, email, voicemail, and files will be deactivated soon, and you will be unable to log into your computer,” it said in the job termination email.

It has already impacted me and many others in tech. The question remains of where to go when you are too old to learn a trade but too young to retire.

My employer pays for Lexis’ AI tool, protégé.

It’s scary good at pointing me to relevant statutes, regulations, and case law that might otherwise take me hours of manual research and standard Boolean searches to find. I love it. And yes, I then go and read everything it references before relying on any of it, but it saves time - a lot of time - in the initial research.

I have caught it (once) misinterpreting an opinion, telling me the opinion said something it didn’t say at all, but overall, I’d give it a solid 95% accuracy score.

If I was in a firm with a private library and librarian (fancy large firms have these), the research librarian could easily be replaced by this tool.
