especially outer garments.

And what you are getting for $699 + tax, is a ramped up iPhone.

"Ramped up iPhone" doesn't begin to cover what this really is.

AI that is with you is not with you; you are with IT.

If one wants a life influenced by AI, one will probably be inured to dependency, and likely lose one's freedom. How one pays to constantly pit one's judgment/will against the AI's information/advice is a huge shift in human control.

Has anyone thought of the ramifications of this AI use in government, by either political party? or both? the ability to talk with foreign donors? foreign assets on US soil? At state levels?

So one day, I with him asking what he did at Bell Labs. He proceeds to explain..... It was like sitting next to Albert Einstein,

"So, tell me Al, what are you working on?"

Me: "That's nice, Al, keep up the good work."

About a year ago, I was interested in this think called, artificial intelligence. So I goes on Wikipedia and there is Bill's name as one of the original researchers on A.I.

One has to wonder what standing AI will have before rule of law. Will AI be granted fictional personhood standing like corporations? Because if/when it causes loss, harm and damage to humans, who knows how that will be dealt with by law. Will investors suffer penalties? It will be a whole new area of law enforcement, probably. But who knows. Maybe even legal AI will determine the penalties of other AI.

People who work to make others' lives easier are the best of society. I hope his skill and effort with AI will turn out to do what he hoped it would do.
