But if I want to sit in my mom's basement and shit out a 100k LOC project by hand with code I don't understand by using nothing but stackoverflow posts and then throw it over the fence that's ok because it's not AI slop?

I am of course making a joke here, but being anti-slop is one thing. Banning projects for AI or made with AI is being a luddite.

You do not have to get tased in order to be qualified to carry it. You can even become a Taser instructor without ever receiving an exposure. There are a lot of benefits to getting an exposure, but it is not mandated. So yes most police have been tased, but it's not a hard requirement to carry a taser in most departments.

Before any non-lethal weapon can be used it must first be tested on the people trying to champion it. Then everyonoe who uses the non-lethal weapon must have it used on them. It's the only way for them to understand the impact of these weapons.

No one should have a pepper ball gun or rubber bullet until they have been shot with it.

Comment It makes a lot of sense (Score 3, Insightful) 138

Tesla really has done no product refreshes and their stock price is based mostly on promises of rocket cars and robots that replace all jobs. Its P/E is off the charts and in reality they sell 2 cars and a pixelated box. Musk needs to keep the price high to leverage it for the loans that fund his lifestyle.

SpaceX has modern working products and gets funded by government contracts as well as private space launches. They sell internet and AI models. They are only not making money becuase of R&D. So they can take the Tesla speculation bubble and rocket ship that stock price while at the same time having less risk due to having real products. It doesn't matter if spaceX fails to deliver a rocket car because they deliver actual rockets to space for their customers.

Comment Keep suing (Score 2) 125

I like that she is suing the police, but she needs to sue flock as well. Pain and suffering, libel, whatever you can find to make it stick. I think libel may fit very well here, "falsely accusing someone of criminal conduct is one of the classic categories of defamation per se, where reputational harm can be presumed rather than requiring the plaintiff to prove every dollar of resulting damage".

Claiming that I was the perp in a hit and run and placing me in jail has real harm and they published it to the police force.

Sure: "This plate was observed near a location under investigation." isprobably not defamatory by itself if it is factually true. However, "Registered owner is wanted for burglary." feels very defamatory with real reputatinal and potentially monetary damages. I'd want my lawyer to investigate defamation/libel along with negligence and potentially other constitutional or statutory claims depending on who supplied the data.

I can assure you that blockchain work is still very much happening in finance today and there is a lot of capital being spent and a lot of profit being made. The 24/7 tokenized stock market is sadly the future of investment. If you work in the industry, you know.
