Legally, you need quite a few more features than this just to be able to sell it.

A good sales person should be able to ascertain that on the walk over. Even at a big box store.

"Excuse me, can you show me where the hammers are?"

"Sure! They're over this way, let me show you. You doing any projects this weekend?"

"Yup, I'm rebuilding my basement stairs and my favorite 16oz framing hammer just chipped. I'm replacing it with the same one cause it worked great for 30 years."

"Perfect, it's on the top shelf with the rest of the premium hammers. Need me to show you where the nails are or need help with anything else while you're here?"

"Nope, just the hammer, got everything else already last weekend."

"Great, good luck with the stairs, let me know if you have any other questions."

Friendly chatter, brief "upsell" to make sure they didn't forget anything and have to make a drive back. Left alone once the interaction was complete. Doesn't have to be anything more complicated than that and nobody's time was wasted.

I worked a long time in retail. There's a few problems with pointing.

1- the employee probably doesn't remember exactly where the product is, and might be completely wrong. If they point and walk away, and the product isn't there, you have to track down another employee.

2- the customer isn't always the brightest and might still not see the thing right in front of them. Walking them over and pointing right at it is the only reliable way to ensure they actually see it.

3- most importantly (to the company), you will now be available to answer questions and upsell. The customer has already engaged you and is much more receptive to conversation than a random "can I help you with anything" walk-by.

I'm perfectly fine with non-lawyers, and/or LLMs writing the questions. What was stupid was that it wasn't independently validated and proofread by a third party.

“The State Bar has admitted they employed a company to have a non-lawyer use AI to draft questions that were given on the actual bar exam,” she said. “They then paid that same company to assess and ultimately approve of the questions on the exam, including the questions the company authored.”

It's a bar exam. One of the most important tests these people will take in their entire career, and they half assed the implementation.

Man, lawyers just DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATIONS OF LLMs.

This is a game I'm not going to preorder, but watch for a few months until the bugs are worked out, then when it's 20% off I'll play the shit out of it!

What? There's so many limitations on how you can move and manage files! You can't even copy directories! That was a basic command in the 80's.

Sure it has a UI, which makes some things easier, but there were fewer limitations in the 80's on what you could and couldn't do.

Even if everyone involved wanted to merge Canada and the US, it would be idiotic to do it as a single state.

Even the fantasy is stupid with them.

Historically, most forms of polygamy are very misogynistic. It's not just because of Christianity, it's more due to how it was implemented.

It is absolutely possible to have a great polygamous relationship, but especially recent history has been filled with examples of it being used as a way to subjugate, not free people.

Yeah... Even the nice hotels look exactly like this if they're not brand new and you look closely at the details (with some exceptions.)

This isn't a one country thing either, go anywhere in the world and you'll see the same thing.

So they ask the VPN provider to provide the origin address of the VPN logins, and come back to a cell phone (network) provider

A non-logging VPN provider should not be able to assist with this step.

Quit being so Kafkaesque about it.
