The legal status of Section 230 has nothing to do with the outcome.

It will be decided by lobbyists shoving mostly incompetent lawmakers in different directions. Whoever shoves the hardest wins.

Lawmakers write horrible legislation. Or to be more accurate, congressional aides who are not the sharpest legal minds write the text. And in many cases non-profits (or even for profit entities) write model legislation that is copy/pasted into black letter law. Often it is not reviewed by anyone in the government, elected or not.

Arguing about the validity of the law in a place like Slashdot is about as meaningful as making a spreadsheet of how you are going to spend your billion dollar lotto winnings. Good luck with executing that plan.

Business should only be accountable to the executive suite, and that accountability has only one goal: executive compensation. The Board of Directors is a close second, the shareholders are third, and the workers and customers are useless burdens that only get in the way. That is the natural God given order of the universe, and any other consideration is a woke godless communist sin. Any bureaucrat or lawmaker who defies this natural law is a tool of Satan, and they and their families, friends, acquaintances and pets should be burned alive so that they experience hellfire on earth before they burn in eternal flame where they belong.

At this point the propaganda is so predictable and omnipresent I don't even bother to go and read the article. This has the stench of the fossil fuel lobby on it like smog on a day when you're supposed to stay indoors and only take shallow breaths.

Corporate irresponsibility is an inalienable right! As non-living beings, corporations can live forever, break laws with almost no oversight or consequences, damage the environment, harm individuals, compromise individual and national security, revise agreements in their favor at a moment's notice (i.e. change terms and conditions), capture regulatory agencies, make anonymous contributions to buy influence from elected officials, and get their way using methods that are being created even at this moment.

If you have even the slightest thought that any of this is wrong, you hate freedom, you hate America, you hate your mother and apple pie, and you are a woke commie scum who should be rounded up and shot by an honest God fearing real man wearing a MAGA hat. God Bless America and FREEDOM!!

Just keep ignoring the .008% value and your explicit claim that Harvard, a often target for being "woke", completely fails teaching ethical behavior.

Your ethical standards are clearly based on innuendo and ignoring objective information. You personally are an example of the deliberate mudslinging that I pointed out in the first place. Your response proves my point exactly.

These people are former MIT students, not currently enrolled students. It's absolutely misleading click-bate.

This is an obvious example of the the ongoing culture war attack on higher education in the US. If there is any way to drag well known educational institutions through the mud then someone will take the cheep shot. In 2023 alone Harvard had nearly 25,000 undergrads. Using that rough figure two people is only .008%, so it's not exactly a crime wave. It's a whole lot better then the general population, which is exactly to be expected.

In beach climate zones, salt particles in the air corrode metal and degrade other materials, and this is enhanced if the climate has lots of sunshine.

Small particles are also a significant human health hazard. Individuals with respiratory issues can have severe reactions, including asthma attacks which can be life threatening. These salt particles are specifically intended to be very small so they can stay in the air and travel long distances, making the geographic footprint even greater.

This is a horrible experiment to perform in an urban area. It is dangerous and possibly illegal. The agencies that fund this kind of work have well defined protocols addressing the human impact of experiments, and there is no way this would have been approved if the work had been correctly evaluated. Someone was negligent, cut corners or deliberately ignored the rules. Whoever is responsible will be in big trouble, like having the project canceled, being excluded from getting grants, or being fired trouble.

Before HD camera were in cellphones and doorbells I worked on a project with a 720p camera. It was big, cost well over a hundred thousand dollars, and was very rare. When testing the camera it was decided we would not take pictures out of the windows since we could capture images of people walking outside. The protocol for the funding agency had very strict guidelines about human experimentation and we didn't want to have any problems. For motion image tests we bought some lava lamps and other electric motion toys so it was manifest that people were not experimental subjects.

A more honest version of the headline.

they want to get into everyone's house, whether you sign up with them or not.

Unfortunately, nearly everyone jumping on LLM bandwagon has "flat dead zero ability to differentiate complete shit from quality output", to slightly edit your comment.

They had a meeting with Trump and he said that for a big enough bribe he'd eliminate the EPA, end pollution regulation, make electric vehicles illegal, and have zero taxes on fossil fuel profits. Buying the government is the best investment an oligarch can ever make, and right now everything is for sale at bargain prices. Big Pharma, media conglomerates, Wall Street, real estate, the military complex, and anyone else with a billion or so to spare are all lining up purchase a complete lack of oversight and accountability.

When technological civilization collapses they and their families will all be fine, having bought all the places that can still support comfortable human existence. Or they will be hanging out with Elon on Mars, in a techno-libertarian paradise without the bother of pesky human scum who have a net worth of less then half a billion dollars. Everyone else will get the mass extinction event they deserve because they are poor.

Problem solved.

Becoming a billionaire faster then sticking with OpenAI?

Progress!

Hire a person who has very little skill in reading english, which could be done very inexpensively if they are outside the USA, England or Australia. Give them access to your email account and have them go through and organize it once a week. When you need something done have them do it for you.

You will get better results, and have better personal security then relying on any AI system. And there will be real accountability if anything goes wrong. If (actually when) Google screws things up for you there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it, and if you give them too much trouble they will delete your account.

And your shit doesn't stink either.
