I've recently read The Cuckoo's Egg and as a person that has been born into technology it's really interesting how Cliff goes to explain concepts that these days are understood as common knowledge.

I sure hope it doesn't mean the government will shape the future of AI development how they see fit.

> AND I can pay them in BTC, further obscuring myself.

Which is not really impressive since BTC can be tracked. What is impressive, however, is you can just mail them cash with a piece of paper with your account number on it and they will add that money as credit on your account.

Considering there are "GPT plagiarism" checkers, I don't think this will become an issue. I wonder at which point an extension will come out that will check a page's text if it was written by a human.

That day is closer than you may think. I sometimes only have my phone with me as i can pay using only it (something like Google/Apple pay, but through my bank's app) and can unlock my front door thanks to Home Assistant. Both of those (should, I don't have one) work with a smart watch.

There are TVs, here most are Chinese white label brands, that instead of using Android TV just have a microcontroller running Android on it. In fact I've installed Android on a Raspberry pi and the experience was literally the same. There's no smart features unless you select the input to Smart TV (which i assume is some internal HDMI interface renamed to Smart TV on the UI)
