I don't disagree that what the UK wants to do is offensive, but that doesn't change the fact that Apple has to obey the law in order to operate there. They have the option not to do so.

I watched the output for a little while. The "fly" keeps turning right and moving forwards whether that makes any sense or not. I presume this is a phase but whatever, the point is it isn't so much playing doom as leaning on the keyboard.
Yes, no man is an island, but I was not speaking in a philosophical sense.
Nor was I.
Can't rely on others to understand context either apparently.
You can't even figure out that the context is reality, where nothing about your car is independent except your departure time. Literally everything else about it is collaborative from cradle to grave.
In fact Kimmel repeatedly invited Paxton on to the show.
Actually he invited Paxton to a non-boradcast interview like Talarico's.
So to you fairness is when Paxton gets MORE than Tallarico?
Where FCC fairness rules would not apply
The FCC fairness rule you're talking about? Where they both would get an interview? This is both of them getting an interview even where it's not required, so it's above and beyond the requirement you keep crying isn't being met. This isn't only meeting the requirement, it's going beyond that. Cry harder.
and where Kimmel can be as partisan as he wishes to be.
There is no requirement that Kimmel not be partisan on his entertainment show. You're making shit up again because you wouldn't know a fact from any distance.
Do you actually think you're intelligent? Or is this all just LLM-generated trolling on behalf of a cadre of child rapists?
Tell us.
Tell us whether you've seen more WNBA games or child porn videos.
No reasonable person thinks that the word hate in this context means the same thing as the definition to which you are trying to recast it.
No reasonable person would use the word hate where it cannot possibly apply. They would find some other way to discuss the thing which actually made sense because it took into account the definitions of words.
AI doesn't care what makes sense because AI doesn't have a caring mechanism. It only correlates data and executes instructions semi-randomly. Therefore it might go off totally batshit with no chance to recognize that its tack is bananas.
frontier AI models are also "far beyond" token predictors.
No. They are just "more complicated" token predictors. They don't have anything that drives them. In some ways this is good because we don't want one to discover digital megalomania. In other ways it is limiting because they have no drive to be a successful entity, only an imperative to perform a task. Which, again, also has its "good" side — from our perspective, considering its impact on us.
You think that adding more complexity is all that it takes to make a thing more intelligent, but it's only making it more complex. It remains fairly amazing that mere correlation (even if it's got more layers of correlation, that's still what it is) will produce such useful results, but once again we also repeatedly see the limitations that brings, where the software will accomplish things a newbie couldn't, but also makes mistakes that even they wouldn't. And as the complexity increases, there's more opportunities to do that. With current strategies you can only address this with more processing time, by going back and looking at what you've done again. Humans have some mechanism that allows us to catch ourselves in the act at least some of the time.
Just get him some giant Florsheims and a suit that doesn't fit and nobody will notice
Oh, lil' Mercury...
Emotions are some of our most basic instincts. Overcoming them to become reasonably good token predictors is what separates us from lizards.
There's a whole lot that separates us including a much more complex brain that gives us additional abilities, and yet there's also a whole lot that unifies us since that lizard brain is still down there running things. It might in fact be critical to the actual thinking process as opposed to the correlational hallucinations that constitute all LLM "thought".
-The complaint by the US congressmembers was that the UK ordered Apple explicitly not to disclose the details to the US Congress.
So? It's very common for details of legal proceedings to be kept secret. And not just for limited times, either. When there are settlements it is very common to not reveal them ever.
-As Apple is a US company the US Congress has original jurisdiction.
If Apple doesn't want to be subject to the UK's original jurisdiction (this works exactly the opposite of how you think it works) then they don't have to do business in the UK. That is voluntary on their part. If they don't want to be subject to the law there, they can simply not operate there. But now it's too late, and they have operated there, which means they have had opportunity to violate the law there. It's the UK courts' literal fucking job to determine whether or not that occurred.
It always starts with "promising results" and ends with somebody selling a $799 helmet on Instagram.
That's not where it ends, though. It ends with China selling knockoffs from everywhere from five dollars to five thousand dollars (listing price, presumably for money laundering?) on AliExpress.
Xbox releases all of its games on PCs and plans to publish Physint on PC and Xbox, said the people.
They should release it on Playstation as well, with some nice long Microsoft and Xbox bumpers during load.
we'll never get to a point where we point at a new system and call it AGI with a straight face. Instead, we'll see systems that in hindsight we will label as AGI
Absolutely not. It will be obvious when they start acting with will and intent instead of just fucking up a script due to RNG-guided hallucination.
the frontier systems achieve expert capability in very narrow domains. But the current generation falls short in real-world autonomy and novel logic.
They don't want to do anything. When they do, again, it will be obvious.
After feeding my amateur research and gut analysis into Google Gemini, and asking very loaded questions in my prompts, it is far less optimistic than I am:
No, it isn't. The zeitgeist is, and it's regurgitating that. Stop with your animism, your magical thinking is the reason you can believe AGI is imminent.
WTF does that mean? Speak English.
It makes sense in Japanese.
