It's rather reminiscent of the old days of GPS, when people would follow it to the letter, and drive into rivers, go the wrong way up a one-way street, etc.

Other companies? Companies also need things, so they would also need things to buy and sell. Buying and selling to each other doesn't seem entirely unreasonable, particularly if the goods are non-physical. A company selling editing services for articles to a company that writes those articles for a news company who might be selling stocks to an investment company, and ad space to an ad company, etc.

Realistically, though, that doesn't tend to be that high a priority, or much of a long-term worry. Most of the concern these days seems to be focused more on the short-term profit more so than anything else, even if it will ultimately harm the company.

Not that it would really matter for most, since a lot of the people who might otherwise be affected would likely be out and away by the time that that rolls around. It would barely affect them.

Or have a single general footer that they all refer to.

Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you're going to be sharing the food like cats do.

Maybe the giant spiders are meant to be a way for you to learn to hunt, before graduating to actual food?

They could be meowing at you like a drill sergeant.

I wonder if it would actually materialise, consisting the recent case where an airline company's AI chatbot promised a refund that didn't exist, but were expected to uphold that promise.

That risk of the bot offering something to the customer when the company would rather they not, might be too much.

It seems more likely that companies will either have someone monitoring it, and ready to cut the bot off if it goes against policy, or they'll just use a generated voice for a text interface that the client writes into, so they don't have that risk, and can pack more customers per agent at a time in.

They're usually built for the lowest bidder.

and that's even before it has to contend with you having an accent, or the mic quality being anything less than crystal clear, with a perfect connection.

Depends on whether scammers will also use a similar AI system to do their job for them. If they do, they might be basically indistinguishable.

Does this also affect Chromium, or is it just Google Chrome?

The article mentions it being affecting Google Chrome through Chromium, but it's not clear if it also affects Chromium on its own, or other Chromium-based browsers.

Nitpicking, but I'm not sure that it was ads that killed dash sat navs. At least in my experience, they never really developed to that point where car companies would put ads in.

It was more that they were expensive options to install, a pain to keep updated, and generally weren't all that good.

Even before the live traffic and automatic detour features, phones didn't cost money to keep the onboard maps up to date, and you already had one, so you didn't need to either buy an add-on, or get a special unit for it.

With android CarPlay and Apple Auto, you could just put your phone map on the screen, which was basically the same thing, but a cheaper equivalent, since the hardware was on your phone instead.

Error message? McAfee can't write to the drive because it's full of photos of their grandchildren and dogs, so it clicks up "can't write to c:\temp\sqlite_arcane_computer_magic.log: Disk is full", and it goes from there?

Given the rumours surrounding the CEO of Twitter, and how he may have pushed for his account to be prioritised because the algorithm knocked it down for being blocked so much, this feature doesn't seem like it has long for the world, unless he makes them add an exception for him.
