I'm suggesting that book stores can be held liable for what books they put out. I can think of all sorts of material you wouldn't want them to curate like a section dedicated to people trying to figure out how to start trafficking

Quantum computing is as much as a game changer as linear or binary computing was 70 years ago. Lots of people think it's like computing now but just better, or faster. It is exponentially better and faster but vastly different than traditional computing now. In theory an extremely powerful quantum computer could create entire realities much like the one we occupy. There really is no limit w the recent level of understanding we have of the quantum realm and this emergent tech.

Sure, until you will meet fully generated human with help of deepfake by AI (voice and visual).

Google execs: "We're losing in AI! Quantum Computer Dept, do you have anything to help tank the stock further?!"
The QCD: ".....uhhh....sure."

There's some emerging fields of science exoring how the voltage potentials effect the production of certain stem cells.
Biophotomodulation which uses wavelengths to increase atp production in cells and neurons.
Brainwave entrainment that stimulates certain brainwave patterns.
PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic therapy) that can stimulate activity in specific parts of the brain.
Transcranial AC stimulation that can induce currents along peripheral and cranial nerves to produce signals along specific structures in the brain.
Much more very interesting science coming out and being mastered in the next two decades. So I'm sure eventually we will be able to!

Sounds like this article was written all for 2 words. Commercial value

With sufficient advancement those things are possible, but for now I'd think chemical alterations are much more likely. We are paving the way in mind interface technology though. Its only a matter of time until commercialization.

People settling in different areas of the US isn't really a big deal. Very little infrastructure is expected to last a super long time.
There is overall plenty of land.
Some people that chose poorly when investing in land are going to lose money. Big whoop.
(Don't get me wrong, I'm a green, but we don't really sell this all that well, moving is pretty easy in the US, and people that own land in flood zones are basically lumped in with smokers when it comes to violin playing for risky behavior by everyone else. Living (purchasing land...) in a climate risk area is a choice).

People will have to move to VR where we will be able to interact with people in real time and can see they’re human(with body tracking and haptics etc)

Submission Statement
From the article
Much of researchers’ and journalists’ concerns about the new AI wave have focused on bots’ potential to generate bad answers and misinformation — and its potential to displace human workers. But David Gunkel, a professor of communication studies at Northern Illinois University, is wrestling with a different question: What rights should robots, including AI chatbots, have?
From the article
“This is a really important question because as soon as you mobilize the word “rights,” people immediately jump to “he must be talking about human rights and giving human rights to robots. This sounds absurd.” And it is, in fact, absurd because we’re not talking about human rights. When we talk about rights, we’re talking about social recognitions that can be either designated in terms of moral philosophy or in terms of law.” - Professor David Gunkel
From the article
"When we talk about robot rights or the rights of AI, we’re talking about social integrations of these technologies for the purposes of protecting our moral and legal institutions. - Professor David Gunkel

Despite the memes. Floridians aren't stupid. Huge sections the state are built to resist hurricanes and a ridiculous amount of canals have been built to redirect stormwater away from homes.
Ever since hurricane Andrews leveled South Florida in 1992 we've changed how we build homes specially to survive up to category 3 storms. We have some of the best building codes in the country.
Also in Florida yes you can definitely get flood insurance assuming your house is not built in a flood zone and in all our insurance policies hurricane damage is specifically in a separate section.

you're making ridiculous assumptions that Google's version won't be as useful as ChatGPT, and that's not even taking into account the huge amount of companies that already have all of their data in Google's Data Warehouses that will MUCH prefer to use Google's AI rather than pivot to a new vendor.
Dall-e was a game changer at first, and now it's the absolute worst image generator on the market

In my mind, it's more that Reddit or another social media platform would rather you interact with a bot that could manipulate your opinion or influence your buying decisions instead of people going away.

Reply to comment by AtomikSamurai310 in What are ‘robot rights,’ and should AI chatbots have them? by HarpuasGhost
Insofar as a robot is a tool, any and all discussions of their use boils down to permissions and consequences for their users or programmers.

Shroddingers cat is about viewing a quantum particle changes the outcome, because everything we can measure with is way WAY bigger than the quantum particle. It's literally like investigating an ant with a marble, every time you touch the ant, the marble changes the properties of the ant somehow, speed, position, direction... so you can't get detailed info on the ant.

This is very wrong..it is certainly possible to understand quantum mechanics even conceptually. How could we be making quantum computers if no one understands quantum mechanics. It is just a ridiculous statement on the face of it.
