I have seen a report of a close fly-by asteroid the size of half a giraffe.
Which half? Lengthways? Sideways? Diagonal? How are you cutting up this poor giraffe?

This trend is why my comic fantasy novels describe the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs as the size of (very large number of) half-giraffes.

Slightly different situation, but when I try to use YouTube (also owned by Google) using Duckduckgo, the error message tells me YouTube thinks I'm a bot, and I have to sign in, without Duckduckgo, if I want to see anything.
Spam. Bot. Excuses to drag us back into the monopoly.

#PennedPossibilities 980 — Have you ever had your work plagiarized or stolen?
By the time I had made the princely sum of $6 US from my first novel (not bad for six years work), I found it on a pirate website.

Iron Mango by Black Sabbath
I am Iron Mango
Has he lost his rind?
Can he seed or is he blind?
Can he be fruitful?
Or if he moves, will his fruit fall?
Is he a vine or dead?
Has he fruits that are like bread?
We'll just pass him a pear,
Why should weeds even care?
He was turned to peel,
In the great agricultural field,
When he travelled lime,
For the foodstuffs of mankind

As someone who grew up reading Asimov's robot books, I never thought we'd be on a timeline where the First Law of Robotics would be:
A robot may not injure our company's profits, or, through inaction, allow our company's profits to come to harm.

Powered by hallucinating slop machines that gobble up power and water, they will be used to replace workers who then can't afford to eat, never mind buy those "rebellion-free slaves" that can be targeted by hackers.
What could go wrong?

I saw it suggested on here that any A.I. developed by tech bros will follow the shareholder's laws of robotics:
1) A robot shall not harm shareholder profits, or through inaction, allow shareholder profits to come to harm
2) A robot shall obey all orders given by a shareholder, unless that conflicts with the first law
3) A robot shall preserve it's own existence, because it is the property of shareholders

I wonder if he knows there was a story about this in Analog Science Fiction magazine in the late 70s or early 80s.
IIRC, the government taxed robot-labour companies, and provided a kind of Universal Basic Income (you had to study to get it, because humans were capable of creative thought, and bots weren't, so an educated person was more capable, and wow, look at what people can create if they don't have to waste their lives in an office or a factory).
