Seriously, even if it works I'm sure all the phone manufacturers will make sure it won't matter.

Some day we're going to invent a weapon nobody has any right to know about, let alone wield.

AI will just make that sooner.

If we're not going to do criminal prosecutions, penalties should destroy a meaningful portion of the share value, then leave it up to shareholders take the officers to task in court through civil litigation.

The people who benefit the most from an organization's actions should also bear the most responsibility.

Most people are terrible at their jobs, and developers are no different.

Organizations have good reason to be reluctant.

And they control the platform, it's not like money can't be recovered from users directly.

Worst case Apple could just shut the application down and say the developer didn't pay a fee.

If someone got slapped with $5M like that I doubt it would stand up in court.

What the hell did he expect?

That will definitely stop it.

I heard part of that is kids getting hit waiting for the bus, but that may be purely anecdotal.

If anyone's looking for a conspiracy, the ski industry lobbies heavily against it.

ChatGPT4 is superior to Google in a lot of ways. While I wouldn't quantify it with percentages, the prediction of a threat here seems like a no-brainer.

Not only do I use Google less, but I'm even more grateful to not have to use online forums.

With AI you can get a sane, coherent answer to the question you actually asked.

Those blue zones with the centenarians, and the so-called Mediterranean diet with lots of olive oil...

You cook with olive oil. It's not a snack. Olive oil is a proxy for home-cooking.

I think they live long healthy lives because they make everything at home. And conversely when populations stop doing that, there are some pretty serious consequences.

IIRC the signals get too weak after a few tens of light years to be distinguishable from background noise.

Once watched a video showing the elaborate lengths advertisers have to go through making TV ads with real-life food.

This also applies to pictures chain restaurants use - those pictures of Big Macs have to be actual photos even if they're gussied up.

One would think AI images run directly afoul of the principle if not the letter of these laws, surely lawsuits or legislation can't be far behind?

I know the thinking is that everyone should be allowed to do anything they want if they can make money doing it, public good be damned, but crypto mining isn't exactly producing anything of value here.

And I don't understand how some can give a pass not only to normal monitoring of online activity for regular and national security purposes, but also flagrant violation individuals' privacy and the law with mass surveillance, and then in the same breath defend this position.

It's like only activity that involves money (usually lots of it) has rights, and actual people don't.

Coming from a party that crabs about freedom so much, that's messed up.

I can't think of another tool more ripe to be misused for blanket domestic surveillance.

Phones will be first but mark my words, as soon such a chip becomes commonplace in PC's, Microsoft will start requiring it.

Whatever your position, that's fine, tell me all about it.

But the reasons for your beliefs, the ideals behind your positions? That's one of the worst things you could possibly lie about.

Political dialog is difficult because real conversation requires respect. And respect requires honesty.
