I will say the title used here did get me to click through because the way it’s worded made me wonder if there was a lawsuit being brought up. Obviously, since it was staged, that wasn’t the case. I wasn’t pleased at being tricked.
Honestly if they had used my title I still would have looked at the article, so my click would have been given anyway. I just now come away annoyed where I otherwise wouldn’t have.
I generally expect better from Futurism.
Fun fact the jury nullified on her felony counts.
Prosecutors had initially charged Woods with seven felonies, each of which were nullified by the jury. Instead, she was found guilty of four misdemeanor counts of assault and battery, as well as two counts of reckless assault.
That’s extremely cool! Are you holding it at the library or something? What distro will you be going with in your demonstration, or are you going to be talking about multiple ones? Do you know how many people will be attending yet?
I’m sorry for all the questions, it’s just super cool to me haha

Kind of wish people had actually read the article instead of downvoting you into oblivion since it was very snarky and skeptical and a delight to read.
Edit to add an excerpt:
This is not intelligence at work; this whole thing is essentially a melange of human-written stories that have been chewed into tiny chunks and then reassembled by an algorithm at the cost of an entire small nation’s power consumption.

Good point, I stand corrected.
They do use it in the title though (the title on this post was auto-generated from the article, I didn’t pick it out.)
I agree with OP, it’s not really age verification in the sense we’ve been seeing in the news, but it IS a step in the direction of following the letter of the law without intrusiveness.
That’s awful. I’m sorry. I see you, fellow ace.
I think the quote I saw was “The internet was great when people were bored. It became terrible when they got hungry.”
They pinky promise!! Honest!
Ziff is in a selling mood it seems, he just sold off some game rights today .
If you want a really good book comparison, the short story “Manna” starts off with an AI being used to manage a fast food joint.
I certainly am!
Did someone try to censor “FUCK” and someone else added it back?
Excellent.
They’re also planning to roll out captchas on websites that only work with Android or iOS.
