Was mostly referring to restaurants and other services. But in general, no I have yet to experience any place flat out rejecting my business if I pay in cash. I'm not sure what's with the downvotes, I'm merely sharing my personal experiences.

Don't do cash, or would prefer not to do cash? Those are 2 different things.

I have yet to encounter a place that will refuse to take my cash if I tell them I have no other method of payment. They may not be eager to, but they can't stop you from leaving.

Nobody's refusing payments in cash. The articles you're linking were during covid, an entirely different context

It's weird... I feel like any civilisation worth joining the galactic federation would have no issues finding volunteers to save their civilisation anyway (though maybe not 14 minutes...)

The measure, aimed at reducing potential risks created by AI, would have required companies to test their models and publicly disclose their safety protocols to prevent the models from being manipulated to, for example, wipe out the state’s electric grid or help build chemical weapons.

How exactly do LLMs do that? If you've given an LLM's pseudorandom output control over your electrical grid, no regulation will mitigate your stupidity.

Honestly though, the baby is better off without those parents. I'm of the mind that we shouldn't shame / prosecute them, since that would actually discourage other horrible parents like this from giving up their babies.

Granted, abortion would be a much better route, but small steps.

Googling this... At the moment, the only source online is a single local newspaper, which omits numerous key details. Might turn out to be nothing.

There'll be nothing to get adjusted to if they continue to insist on Denuvo

They summarised the history of Tumblr, but failed to mention how they lost 3 quarters of their users by banning porn?
