A ruling that says "engagement engineering" is illegal would be difficult to enforce, but presumably not impossible.
At the very least it would curb extreme cases like the one from the story.
"I invented everything wonderful! I even invented Al Gore, believe me! Radios and TV's used to have big glass tits and wankers that glowed orange, such a wonderful color, but they were big and heavy, like Rosie O'Donnell, so nobody wanted them.
So I got one of my bone spurs med tablets, soaked it in Diet Coke for 3 days, stuck wires into it, and it became the very first Trans Sister. I hated that woke name so called it Capacitor instead, and even made it flux. Some say it can go back in time, which I may do to get my Nobel Prizes back, that Hannibal Lecter and Autopen Joe stole from me. Everyone knows they are Filthy Antifa Crooks!"
Obviously, sooner or later we will want to do things that require our physical presence. And be it because the ping time to Mars really, really sucks.
Robots are way easier to engineer for space than humans, even though space is so unforgiving that that's not trivial, either. The same is true for other planets. Building a robot that works well in 0.2g or 5g is an engineering challenge but doable even with today's tech. Humans... not so much.
But let's be honest here: We want to go out there. The same way humans have found their way to the most remote places and most isolated islands on planet Earth, expansion is deeply within our nature.
So, robots for exploration to prepare for more detailed human exploration to prepare for human expansion.
And maybe, along the way we can solve the problem that any spaceship fast and big enough to achieve acceptable interplanetary travel times (let's not even talk about interstellar) with useful payloads is also a weapon of mass destruction on a scale that makes nukes seem like firecrackers.
Has What If? already done a segment on "what happens is SpaceX's Starship slams into Earth at 0.1c" ?
No serious researcher wants a single company (much less NV) to "own the bridge that every quantum computer will need". Seriously, fuck NV and their proprietary bullshit. CUDA is bad enough, now they have to deal with some new-fangled version of NVLink? Hell Naw.
People want helpful AI that doesn't hallucinate, code crap code, tell you to eat glue or commit suicide.
The stock price "growth" while the government is pumping the bubble, just like the last time around.
Send lawyers and politicians, nobody will complain.
I think you may have a good point here...
And how do you propose to get that medical diagnosis and treatment plan right when you lack the knowledge, education and experience to spot the mistakes? Right.
Good luck, you are going to need it. LLMs cannot replace experts.
Pfffft
These days it's just a never-ending flood of DMCA requests driven by a janky alogorithm or borked LLM
Well, the belief in AI is a cult-like thing. No rationality involved. The last few AI hypes already showed that nicely.
