>In my mind, this is unconstitutional government action.

What part of it? "Intrusion" onto their property or fixing their shit?

Since they were pursuing criminals, intrusion is normally accepted for police. They generally won't fix your stuff though. Except that this stuff was doing illegal things. Can't have that. Since it is a National Security Issue lots of things also aren't unconstitutional, like telling people you fixed it.

So what part is unconstitutional ?

>The system resides in cloud servers spanning multiple countries. Even if it were in a single country, residence != citizenship. Today, to get citizenship, one must usually be born from a woman who resides in the country or is a citizen of that country. Most countries don't just want random citizens "assigned" to them.

Well, let's say AI has to be incorporated then, so it hash a country of residence.

>>The bank account the AI sets up.
>Riiight, by sending it's photo ID to the bank, and providing it's Tax Id number, and signing the paperwork... none of which it can do.

What's all this about and photo ID? We use that to prove identity. I'm sure that there are ways like digital certs that can ID an AI. It can do all of that. Not sure what you think is so hard about providing a tax id number and signing paperwork. I sign all the time online with typing my signature in.

>>>* If someone sues the AI, what jurisdiction covers it?
>>The proper jurisdiction, just like any person or company.
>Ahh, the proper one! Well that resolves it!

Yes, the proper one. Just as if the AI were are person or corporation. No different. Yes, that does resolve it. Please tell me why it wouldn't.

>I can come-up with EZ answers to questions, but useful ones are more difficult.

What about my answers are incorrect? Please be specific.

However, the crypto miners could have been making money from the power that *they contracted to*. I'm sure that they should have made money by just ignoring and minting crypto? They are in this to *make money*. They had a contract for the electricity. They deserve compensation for their lost profit.

You know that Ubuntu is supposed to be a desktop distribution at heart, don't you? Easy for the user to use.

Why would you be using a desktop distribution for this? Surely there are other Linux distributions that would be more suitable? Also, I would be surprised if you couldn't turn off unattended-upgrade services if they did somehow choose Ubuntu to have the system do what they need instead of the default.

>It would all hinge on if the original Carlin shows were legally purchased or not.
>A purchased video would by definition be providing permission to watch that video.

Not really. Just purchasing the show doesn't acquire any more copyright rights than you have originally. Specifically, we are already talking about the right to copy, so this argument has already been addressed.
