Here, it's sadly all about sexy AI girlfriends. In China, the market is for "storyline-based romance games targeted at women, where players interact with multiple fictional male characters through plots and events." Can't wait to see how this all plays out...

I can sue GM if their design unreasonably failed to protect me from harm, even if someone else's negligence also contributed.
This is tiresome and you are not arguing in good faith. I hope you can sleep well at night.

No other industry requires protection from negligence claims with a law like the PLCAA. If we overturned those special protections or, better, treated guns like automobiles-where both manufacturers and owners had legal obligations for others' safety-we could save many children's lives (and others).

Forgive me for being uninterested in "solutions" proposed by someone who fails to acknowledge the magnitude of the problem.
Since you claim to be a lawyer, can you explain on what grounds gun manufacturers should be exempt from liability for all those deaths? How about changing that law?

Maybe because guns are the leading cause of child death in America? That a huge number of those dead children were shot by accident or in suicide? That this doesn't happen anywhere else on earth?

Not in my portfolio, but not crazy. Note however that it's at all-time (inflation adjusted) highs and can fall a lot if the US economy falters. Also, taking physical possession comes with many added costs, and proxies are not always reliable.

The entire AI boom is listed on the US stock exchange, so non-US assets (equities, real estate, bonds) are a good place to start.

Had a weird idea for a pizza: sliced up garlic stuffed olives. Combined them with cherry tomatoes from the garden, and it's delicious!
Coolest night of my teen years for sure! I had dinner with him at my favorite Hollywood Blvd hot dog stand! He was the opener that night, with Mink DeVille and Elvis Costello topping the bill.

The Oatmeal has an interesting take on AI art. While I don't disagree with his "process" argument, Bob Duke offers a counterpoint based on A.N. Whitehead's Rhythm of Education, namely that the "process" part too often ends up dominating. Maybe *judicious* use of AI? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtjz...

That was NOT my intent! His time at UT Austin (e.g. conceptual dependency theory in his PhD thesis) was important. His academic contributions were ultimately overshadowed by his bad behavior (e.g. defense of his friend and neighbor Epstein), but I think still important and worth noting.
Haven't seen much mention of my thesis advisor Roger Schank since his death last year. His important early career contributions were ultimately overshadowed by his tragic personal failures.
This was an inspired poast! I have learned about so many interesting foods...
