    Indeed. The level that AI has supposedly advanced to (or maybe it is better to say "has *been* advanced to by persons who are moving too fast") is somewhat alarming.

    I remember a few years back watching some British show about how a group of androids become sentient. I thought we were a long ways off from that ever happening... like, not in my lifetime... but now I wonder.

    Hello Greg,

    Waymo has been given permission to operate its self-driving robotaxis
    on highways in parts of Los Angeles and the Bay Area

    Straight out of Hollywood - Remember Johnny Cab from Total Recall.

    Depends on which version you watched. In any event, the hero
    saved the day and all was well. But if you recall what really
    happened -

    RFK, Jr. made a major announcement today.
    And I am so, so sorry for what I have to tell you.
    It seems your beloved quarterback will be elsewhere
    when the New York Jets begin their quest for the
    Super Bowl. Why? Because he is going to be on the
    road with RFK, Jr., playing second banana to the
    man who would be king. You see, Jesse Ventura
    decided to stay home in Minnesota, having other
    more important things to do. So that makes
    Aaron Rodgers the vice president to be, with
    RFK, Jr. as head honcho.

    And with Donald Trump being dropped from the
    Republican ticket, you know what that means ...

    For Life,
    Lee

    I have only seen the Verhoeven 1990 original featuring Schwarzenegger.

    RFK, Jr. made a major announcement today.
    And I am so, so sorry for what I have to tell you.

    No he will remain QB for the New York Jets.
    RFK Jr. does not have a prayer to lock the Democratic nomination to spite whomsoever he brings in as VP, this of course includes Aaron Rodgers.
    The bill will be Trump vs Biden.

    Biden is weak and pathetic (he hasn't done anything of any worthy significance and his poll numbers show it as they are worsening - daily.
    Meanwhile Trump strengthens his dominance, in the end common sense will win.
    As for those lefty liberal dreams.
    They will have to wait until 2028 to have another "crack" at it.

    "Anyone who's responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president" - Joe Biden
