I know a guy who developed a low-res graphics golf game for the Apple ][, and my recollection of the thinking is. "Would the Augusta course sue me over reproducing the layout of their fairway and sand traps"?

NEW—After a day of uncertainty on where agents took Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, she appears to be in a Louisiana facility.

A judge ordered to not take her out of state without 48 hour notice. She was detained last night.

Engineers in my field are working with data scientists to optimize run/maintenance/replacement cycles to save millions on energy costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions--but CEO's think AI is "Hi, I'm your Therma-friend! It sounds like you're too hot/too cold! Do you want help with this problem?"
