Politicians and leaders should always ask how does this benefit the people before undertaking any task or endeavour.

Surely there will be security lapses here where some goody twoshoes can do the world a favour.

Vance skipped the option of making gestures at the Wailing Wall in 2025. He will be deemed inadequate to fulfill a role as President of the USA.

This hair-brain scheme is destined to fail.

Yes, that is the way it is. I hear about a show (or movie), check if I am interested, search and retrieve. Basically if I imagine it then it appears on my pc a little while later. That is how our file-sharing networks deliver. We don't consider how it is produced and distributed. Those sort of commercial considerations are forgotten. This multimedia nirvana was predicted in the 1990s by Gartner Group research.

I get all my tv series from downloading torrent files for decades now. I would never consider a digital subscription.

I'm finding fiction on tv and even movies less interesting. What I find more compelling is reality tv shows like Call the Bailiffs from Britain and even SuperNanny. Youtube (with ads blocked) is sucking me in with police body cam videos and to a lesser degree 1st Amendment auditors.

I saw the first episode of Steel from Britain. It was okay but then the second episode turned some the assumptions made in the first on their head. I stopped watching. I'm also watching the first season of The Ark but again I am losing interest because it is very serialized. Towards the beginning of each episode there is some drama or event that always gets resolved by its end. I'm about to check out the The Boroughs, Pluribus and Murderbot.

AI is no good because of the resources it requires. That is, both water and electricity. The data centres that AI depends on generate copious amounts of heat. The world needs the opposite of these things. AI is like cryptocurrencies which rely on proof-of-work to secure the network. Both are very energy inefficient.

Its not smart to rely on big tech for answers and queries. It is better to seek out multiple, reliable, independent sources and draw a conclusion yourself. I can see why developers and coders are relying on it. I even suspect this site does.
