I think we're at the stage where we want the AI to be truly agentic, but they're really loose cannons. I'm probably the last person to call for more regulation, but if you aren't closely supervising your AI right now, maybe you ought to be held responsible for what it does after you set it loose.
Ever driven through any of California's oil fields? Drive through someplace like Taft, and you'll see that the number of pipes just there on the property probably dwarf the amount of pipes moving that oil across the country.
I've got an old Dyson Animal vacuum, and I'm always impressed with how full of dirt the canister gets. So I've got high hopes for a robotic Dyson.
That said, the reviews trickling into Amazon kind of deflate those hopes: suction is great, but otherwise it seems to have all the kinds of problems that all the robot vacuums have.
Definitely not something I'd be willing to plunk down a thousand dollars for. Here's to hoping the next version is a marked improvement.
> Apps owning their own data in Android should make you happy, not sad, because it's what prevents a malicious app from hoovering up all of your Tinder messages, or your financial data from Mint.

Wouldn't the napkin be touchin the table then? Or do you ask for a fresh napkin so you don't have to use the one from the table? And ask about the storage of the napkins and silverware, in comparison to any cleaning solutions or other chemicals?
If you control the email address that the stranger registered to their Apple account, you could initiate a password reset, change the password, then login and change the email address to something that's not yours.
You probably just locked the stranger out of accessing their account though, so you probably shouldn't do this, unless said stranger is signing up for all kinds of services using your email address, in which case maybe they deserve it. :p
You the property owner can turn off your radio, sure, but what if the radio is broadcasting fart sounds? You wouldn't want to have the reputation of the business where customers could turn on their radio to hear fart sounds, would you? Or embarrassing facts about you or your business, maybe. Or worse. Hitler speeches?
It's definitely open to coercion and intimidation, so in some respects I'd consider that a "major" flaw. But is it a widespread enough problem to rule out the paper ballot? Is there a systemic problem of spouses voting for differently-minded spouses, or employers requiring their employees to turn in their blank ballots, or things like that?
