My old lady got her teeth cleaned last week, and they gave her a new oral-b toothbrush...
I got up to take a piss at 6:15, and it senses me in the bathroom and starts flashing lights at me...it looks like a fucking cyclopic squid....
Then i notice that it has BLUETOOTH...can someone enlighten me? do you need to get your toothbrush warmed up on the way home?
Does it call the cops if someone steals it?....

Anyone over 40 who read comics as a kid knows Romita's work, He was a damn good artist, and the kind of person who would reply to kids who sent him their artwork, encouraging them to continue.
He drew Spiderman, Daredevil, and Luke Cage, Capt. America, Thor, The Hulk...
His son is still in the business.

But who regulates the regulators… did not vote for this spastic response to fears caused by their own imaginations. Meanwhile US, calling for a pause in development, and China focus on winning the actual race: AI innovation.
