In most cases, if someone who doesn't work for your company already has that level of access, you already screwed up somewhere in your security stack.

While true, of course there's still the insider problem to contend with. We've seen plenty of cases where disgruntled employees decide to burn everything on their way out (and, sometimes, not even waiting until then...).

If you think of taxes as "confiscation", then it seems to me it's taxes you object to.

You'll always have the choice to pay tax on the market valuation of your shares.

It's only if you think that valuation is inflated, you can choose to turn over the shares instead.

Hell, why not throw in a third option? Sell tax% of them on the open market yourself, and your tax is what you made from that.

Maybe come up with a fourth option too? Feel free. Maybe something to do with options? I'll be flexible, and allay your concerns about "unrealized gains" in whatever way you think is needed - except not taxing them. Wealth needs to be taxed, otherwise no social institution (including constitutions) can be trusted to endure.

Tell you what, you "prove" that the religion of your choice is a "real" religion

Oh, that's trivial: a) it's made-up nonsense, b) it tells people how to live their lives and c) it's been around for so long that people forgot that it's made-up nonsense.

None of that or the rest of your answer has anything to do with the point I was making: That "accepted as a religion in the USA" isn't much of an argument. If people can get Jedi accepted as a religion, it just proves how meaningless all of that is. Other countries have correctly identified Scientology as a pyramid scheme and a scam.

The fact that other religions would qualify for that as well doesn't make it any less true.

I work in Seattle. I can't say I've ever noticed an issue when I've had to use my cell phone's network, but it's not like I do that every day.

However I can say that, in between stations along the train tracks (where the Sounder runs), there are places where there basically isn't any connectivity no matter which network you're on.

Comment Everything that comes out of an AI needs checking (Score 2) 10

These systems are genuinely useful and can sometimes do very impressive things. But absolutely everything that comes out of them needs to be checked. I'm not sure how people don't get this at this point. It is also particularly a big deal for something like this being produced by a major government, since they can presumably afford access to pay for the higher quality models which have lower hallucination rates (Claude in particular is better for this.). This still shouldn't stop the humans from looking over everything, as noted by the minister in TFS, but everyone should already know this by now. How many more incidents of this sort do we need?

No. But you many of these benchmarks existed even a year before the reasoning methods were introduced and are benchmarks created by people who have no connection to the AI companies. At that point, to discount this evidence, you need to claim that the AI companies all worked together in a big conspiracy with external academics and others to make benchmarks which would in the long-run show improvement in model learning across the board. Do you see why someone would see that as a conspiracy theory being insisted upon because one wants to just dismiss the evidence?
