Yeah but the article says the only thing these ones are gonna do is deliver parts which is probably overkill for the likely expense for the kind of sophistication necessary to imitate even a fraction of a human worker’s versatility. To say nothing about the difficulty involved in adapting them to various tasks without reprogramming or training.
I think the “fit for uses reasonably intended” is probably the more relevant clause here. A dipshit landlord could try to argue that hot water is a luxury or something, but have a much harder time arguing that it’s unreasonable to expect hot water to work as initially sold and provided. Depends on how “fit for human habitation” is legally defined.
the history of Israel and Palestine did not begin on Oct 7. regardless of what you think of Hamas nothing they've done could possibly justify the response from Israel. Biden criticizing Bibi is worthless without any action to back it up, especially when the aid and weapons keep flowing regardless.
as for the NHS, apparently its fine that the ACA is flawed because it helps millions of people, but the NHS doesn't also get similar deference for doing the same? and for the timeframe: Nancy Pelosi's original campaign platform included advocacy for universal healthcare, how much more time do they need?
do democrat presidents not also get to appoint judges? are republicans the only party who can obstruct appointments?
they got their wall, though, and it wasn't based on some democrat written border bill, though the dems have been more than happy to keep building it for them and even give them more concessions on border policy. they killed roe v. wade and didn't need congressional approval for that, either. the ACA certainly helped plently of people, the private insurance industry among them. other countries manage to have universal healthcare without all this bullshit so why is it apparently impossible to do that here?
if you'd like an example of the kind of power the president can wield without support of congress, look no further than Biden's unflinching support and aid for Israel in the face of the genocide in Gaza. or his circumvention of environmental protections to pave the way for trump's wall.
i don't think they would have voted for any bill proposed by a black president, so why start with their garbage bill as a basis to negotiate (with themselves) from?
if nothing can be legislatively accomplished without handing the president a supermajority then why should I have any concern about the possibility of another republican president? why is it that republicans seem to have no issue achieving their policy goals without one?
The two most recently elected democrat presidents were both put in office on the backs of record voter turnout. One of them even had a congressional majority.
maybe he could have proposed this when there was actually any chance of it passing, instead of waiting to deploy it as election fodder. who am I kidding, there was never any chance of it passing.
There was a fad a long while ago where people would get their number stamped onto a metal card. Only ever got to see one of them after years working at a casino where we collected SSNs for jackpot payouts.
The people in Arab countries are generally anti imperialism but the leadership can often to be beholden to America through (usually oil based) financial ties. Egypt’s government, for example (because it’s freshest in mind), has repeatedly tried to crack down on pro Palestine protests likely at the behest US handlers. They’re obviously not quite as heavily controlled as Israel, though one could argue that Israel has slipped the leash a bit lately, and Israel’s destruction would be a huge blow, but I don’t feel it would be the killing stroke you and I would like it to be.
I mean it’s still an AI, it’s not going to be able to perfectly block everything because they’re statistical, not deterministic. I’ve had Bing block generated images from displaying because they probably got classified as a banned subject, so it’s not exactly unprecedented.
