Ha. This reminds me that my Ubisoft boycott started circa 2010 when they introduced UPlay (I think it was called something else then). It kicked me off my single player game when it rained and my connection became unstable. 15 years clean. Quite proud of myself!

    And yet, with Android Auto, Google stuck the dumbest version of assistant to handle voice queries.

    (While driving to hardware store) "Hey Google, what size screws does a standard VESA mount require?"
    "I'm sorry, I don't understand"

    It's the ONE place i need a working assistant/AI the most. Yet it's useless with natural language queries 99% of the time.

    As a parent, helping children to name their emotions when they feel something is the very foundation of getting them to recognise what's happening and developing strategies to cope with the strong feelings.

    I've been told by parents of kids with autism, and by friends who's received formal diagnosis that it is a very similar mechanism. The 'label' helps with recognising patterns of behaviour, and helps them to develop coping mechanisms.
