Art in general, and things like massage, meaningful conversation, sex, etc. Quality human connection will be the last things that AI's will gain sufficient ability to replace.
I think Bladerunner 2049 explores what I think will be the key: for some reason authenticity matters to humans and even if the emulation is indistinguishable, people value the real thing.
Your intuition is more correct: it is not true. The relative humidity of the air matters below 100% as well. I think the parent commenter mistakenly assumed that only "condensation" matters, but materials will absorb moisture from the air even if the water doesn't condense. Entropy drives the dispersion of moisture, and some materials are "hygroscopic", meaning they don't merely reach equilibrium with the air, but actually concentrate moisture from the air and get significantly more wet than the air which feeds it water.
It looks like if they reject paying you any bounty you would you still be bound by the NDA. If so, then they could both not pay you and still spike the story. That’s not something I would ever agree to.
Will they? The NDA makes it so if they don't, we'd never know. Bug bounty programs suck but they're better than the alternative, but even running one openly, there's always convention about whether the bugs being submitted are real or not, with a lot of low quality reports that the submitter thinks are gold. That happens out in the open. Now add an NDA into the mix. Sam's reputation doesn't even have to enter into the equation for it to be a bad deal.
I imagine that would be found in the associated paper, but I’m not sure if it’s been published yet. I’m having trouble finding it.

Yep, I've found Gemini to be the best LLM at most tasks that are not coding. Sometimes Opus wins for engineering, but Gemini holds its own there as well. I also used Gemini to assist me with understanding the details of my (pre-revenue) C-Corp taxes this year. It did a pretty good job walking me through each question I had and raising concern about things I might have overlooked. I validated everything against reliable sources, of course.
Gemini missed on some nuances about the paperwork processes of Delaware. Gemini repeatedly assumed I could do something instantly via an online portal that actually required either snail-mail or the use of an intermediate who actually had API access to Delaware's systems. In the end, these processes took a couple days, and while I got things done in time, I wish I had not taken questions of process at face value, and instead wish I had kicked off the taxes at the end of February rather than week before they were due.
Many cities/towns in the USA have small power plants in them (typically associated with a University, large hospital system, or central business district) which "sell" not just power, but also hot water, and steam. The steam is typically used to heat buildings. Google for "$CITY steam tunnels" or "$CITY CHP plant" to find these in your area.
San Francisco has[0][1][2][3] at least five combined heat and power plants that generate electricity and also sell steam to neighboring buildings via 72,000 feet of pipes.
I worked at a privately-owned for-profit "factory" in Santa Monica whose primary product was chilled water (their other product was warm water). They built pipelines to nearby large buildings and sold chilled water to them.
