For real. I've started to replace "AI" with "program" or "software" in my head every time I read a headline.

Ok, trolling for sure.
There's no way a person could be literate and have access to the Internet and be that ignorant.
That's God Emperor of Dune, and Frank Herbert (the original author) was the one who wrote it.
One of the best Reddit comments I ever saw was in response to the announcement that they were considering also adapting the second book. Someone just said "do God Emperor you cowards".
It really, really isn't common.
Here's an NBC report from two years ago: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/breaking-point-sf-suffers-highest-rate-of-car-break-ins-compared-to-atlanta-dc-dallas-la/2731757/
The TL;DR is that the top cities in terms of car break-ins (per 1,000 people) are:
San Francisco - 19.8 Seattle - 19.7 Atlanta - 12.9 D.C. - 10.4 Dallas - 7.8 Houston - 7.5 L.A. - 6.0
That shit ain't normal. Outside of San Francisco and apparently Seattle. The whole rest of the country doesn't have this problem.
What the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no other city in this nation where people leave their cars open. Not a single one.
You're either trolling or so disconnected from reality it's terrifying.
On the off chance you're just ignorant this is your official notice: the way you live is not normal.
You need a reality check.
There is no other part of the US where people leave their cars open so thieves can see there's nothing to steal.
There is no other part of the US where a mob has destroyed an autonomous taxi.
Other than perhaps Manhattan and sections of LA there is no place with higher housing prices.
These are very, very far removed from the rest of the US.
You're joking, right?
I feel secure in asserting that the bay area is not representative of America.
I did it for you!
This heat output is about 20% higher than the previous record and twenty times higher than the net positive reaction that made headlines recently.
It's worth noting that the "twenty times higher" isn't the takeaway here as two different fusion methods were used. The article describes a significant, incremental milestone - not a ridiculously large leap forward.
The lab that conducted this experiment will be closing down soon, so this achievement is seen as the JET lab's swan song.
I'm ignoring that situation because we've had laws on the books regarding CSAM and ferocious enforcement of them for decades.
I believe that "scores" here means "joyfully or thankfully obtains". Swap "scores" for "obtains" and the headline makes more sense.
