Indeed and I just found one: IQ is not measured in percent and cannot be measured in percent. It makes no sense to do so.

Cheating in multiplayer destroys the game. Has happened time and again. The cheaters are not smart enough and usually complain about others then, though.

Yep, most criminals (caught or uncaught) like to think they did nothing wrong.

Actually, no. Not everybody is scum. A lot of people are though.

Spoken like somebody that does not understand either. Here is news for you: That behavior is entirely rational if you want society to do well. And in most cases that gets you more and better benefits than if you (and many others) just take what you can. It does take a mind that can see larger connections though, and I gather you are very much not in possession of one of those.

Keep in mind that the whole "LLM" thing is a giant marketing and propaganda campaign built mostly on lies. This article here fits nicely in that, playing on FOMO and the illusion that things will get very useful.

It does. Another thing that will never make it onto my systems.

Hahaha, no. It is not actually possible to hide.

Indeed. If China bans it, the stuff must be really nasty.

Naa, that would be un-American! Profits rule and who cares if a few people die that would not have had to and a few others require expensive medical treatments. In fact, even better for profits!

At "slightly" less the costs and risks. Your point?

Indeed. Actively hindering is required because it is now cheaper to be climate friendly than otherwise. But the planet-destroyers will find a way to line their very temporary coffers at the expense of everybody. These people are insane and an existential threat.

It is not actually that easy. Data transfers leave traces. There are enough people qualified to find and interpret them that are not under government control.

At this time, Gemini is an app. Do not install it (r any other not trustworthy app) and you should be fine. All I get is an occasional chat offer from Gemini in the messages, which I then proceed to ignore. On the other hand, I am in Europe and sending any of my data to Google servers without positive and informed consent would be a criminal act. So maybe YMMV if you are in the US.

I have authenticator (TOTP, no cloud, not MS) on it and also 2nd factor for banking. Hence I regard it as part of my security equipment and nothing else will get on it and certainly no AI that can mess with my stuff.

I looked at authenticator as stand-alone and separate phone with only a data SIM and noting besides that 2nd banking factor on it, but decided that at this time I am willing to accept that risk. I do revisit that decision from time to time.

Doing that and trusting AI in that way may be the new peek of stupidity in this space. "ChatGPT psychosis" looks like a sane thing in comparison.
