fast. Now it's only going to know what it saw cooked in front of it, but it's actually learning tasks by observation. I guess one of the breakthroughs is they gave it a thumb that could feel like a human hand. So if you've got at least one part of the robot that can feel something, then the feeling

My only caution to this is the first time I read about this was 15 or 20 years ago. I think it was at least 15 years ago that I saw an article that a robot had been trained to fold laundry simply by looking at a lot of people folding laundry. But that robot never turned into anything. But it looks like it's the same model. You just show it how you do it and it learns it. So that's pretty exciting. Maybe it will learn to do everything.
Like I said, the robots will take all the manual labor jobs, but then AI will take all the intelligence-related jobs. But that still leaves a lot of room for humans. It's called crime. So if you want to get your criminal skills up to date, it might be all you have left.

But the work involved in making sure that my phone is clean is more than the benefit of having my privacy. Isn't that weird?
I actually compared the two and I thought, you know what, I just don't

even need my privacy that much. They win. Yeah, they win. Exactly, they win. When I looked at how much work it would take to secure my phone and then what is secured, let me just give you a hint. Once your phone is secured, the only way it could ever stay that way is if you never click on a link again on your phone. That's the only way. If you click on a link, even if it comes from your best frien…
