Indeed. The stock-market is a nice accelerator for market destruction these days. All short-term, no strategic thinking. Everybody wanting to get rich quick. Well, we see history in the making. Unfortunately the type where people learning about it will say "we are lucky to not have experienced that". Interesting as hell, but too close for comfort.

There is always those that think stories describing immoral and despicable behaviors are actually a nice inspiration for things to do. Too many of those people and to few limits, and a society goes to shit. This effect is amplified by those that do not care but want to push their own deranged ideas, usually from the religious spectrum.

Unfettered / low-fettered capitalism is an invitation to scammers of all sorts, many of them operating completely immorally, but legally.

It never did with these people. Decent people do not rape or pillage in the first place. But decent people are rare.

The legal meaning is that you signaled negative consent. It is a pretty strong thing.

If they have good analysis data, that may be a deathblow to the practice of the AI pirates of just scraping anything they can get their hands on. About time.

They are simply lying in the hopes of keeping the scam going a while longer. They _know_ what they are doing is illegal.

I was answering to a claim of "potentially violent". I am not in the habit to redefine statements I answer to.

Incidentally, something like this is fully illegal in Europe: If somebody else puts your name into such a system, you have to be informed within 30 days (even if they do not have your address, does not matter) and you have to be asked for consent. If you fail to give that, all your PID has to be deleted.

The models obviously are not including the hot air you are now producing in your bizarre attempts to seem like you have a point. Hence they must be wrong.

It is a pity that the story is not about autonomous vehicles at all.

Obviously. But CEOs are greedy idiots or uncaring assholes these days and do not expect a long tenure anyways. Hence they will take any short-term cost saving opportunities they can, and who cares if that kills the enterprise long-term.

That has been going on for a while. It used to be fine to get a job and work at it until retirement, but that time has been over for a while now and no connection to AI. Automation was always going to do that.

Personally, I am lucky. IT Security experts, and in particular lecturers, with a lot of experience are in high demand and that demand for good IT security people will only increase as regulation gets stricter and the threat-landscape gets more nasty. But a lot of people are screwed and that is not good.

Self-driving cars use a _lot_ more tech besides AI.

Well, we will see when the first one kills somebody. Because AI is not suitable to implement machinery safety.

It is really amazing how completely without insight you are and how completely without the ability to actually understand text.
