T1 we get man vs unstoppable killing machine.

T2 we get man (and much more stoppable killing machine) vs unstoppable killing machine and have to grapple with the idea of using weapons expressly intended to wipe out the human race against the threats that will wipe out the human race.

I won't pretend like most sequels aren't "would you like some more of that?" but we can all agree that if you checked into a hotel and T2 was on the TV, you'd leave it running instead of channel surfing.

What hill will you die on even though it absolutely doesn't matter?

I drink black coffee nearly every day. I drink overly sugary milk with a dash of espresso sometimes. I will put any sugar or creamer in my coffee. Even a pile of grounds thrown in a pot and boiled over an open fire has it's place.

But keep all artificial sweeteners at least 100 meters any from any brew. I'd rather rub Tesco grounds on my gums than put an artificial sweetener near my cup. I've tried, over and over, all the different brands that everyone says tastes just like sugar and I'd rather not ever again.

Accenture Just Capped Employees’ Claude Spending at $29 a Month. Some Were Spending $1,000

Look at it this way, if I pay Open AI $1k a month, their people make sure it works they month. If I let Joe from finance spend $10k on computer parts, Joe needs to ensure that it runs or I need to hire someone who is knowledgeable on local models. If I'm a simple firm, $12k a year might be cheaper because someone else makes sure it works and I can fire Joe when the fancy autocorrect loses a bunch of clients by falsifying work. Then I don't have to spend even bigger bucks hiring a new Joe because no one knows how to work the damn server he replaced the break room with.

Why are we so weird about speed limits (US)?

I know what you're trying to say but literally any camera is surveillance. It takes pictures/video of a given area. It provides overwatch in lieu of a human. It just surveils for a specific thing.

That data can be used for other, nefarious, purposes and Americans tend to hate that unless it's a private company doing it.
