I was hoping at the bottom of the article it would say that Professor Utonium accidentally added Chemical X.

The fines should be proportional to actual damage caused (ie: 100% coverage of any interest on loans, any extra spending the person needed to do in consequence, loss of compound interest, damage to credit rating along with any additional spending this resulted in, and any medical costs that can reasonably be attributed to stress/anxiety). It would be difficult to get an exact figure per person, but a rough estimate of probable actual damage would be sufficient. Add that to the total direct loss - not the money that went through any individual involved, and THEN double that total. This becomes the minimum, not the maximum. You then allow the jury to factor in emotional costs on top of that.

In such cases as this, the statutary upper limit on fines should not apply. SCOTUS has repeatedly ruled that laws and the Constitution can have reasonable exceptions and this would seem to qualify.

If a person has died in the meantime, where the death certificate indicates a cause of death that is medically associated with anxiety or depression, each person invovled should also be charged with manslaughter per such case.

I suggest:

First offence: Have to watch CSPAN for 5 hours a day, for a week, without sleeping through it - evidence to be provided in court

Second offence: Have to sing Miley Cyrus songs and Baby Shark on TikTok - sober

Third offence: License to practice and all memberships of country clubs and golf courses revoked

And yes, shooting nutritionally enhanced people into orbit is slightly cheaper than paying American cartel prices for those weight-loss drugs.

Even at this distance, I can hear the twang of a nerve being struck.

And as a bonus, the test mice can now swallow a cat whole.

They tried that with Apollo 13. And.... that actually did work, sorta.

There doesn't seem to be much to this story. As far as I can tell, they haven't done any scientific or even casual tests to clone open source or closed source. It's vapor ware.

Then why is the Kim family still in power in North Korea?

The types of neural networks used in these classifiers are not LLMs. The expense and difficulty of collecting an image set is going to far outweigh the compute time used to train them.

We are questioning whether the AI is creating something new, or whether it's just copying the original.

It's a question because the AI was trained on the original. Clean Room Design is a well-known engineering technique. It's not a problem when cloning closed source if the AI wasn't trained on that closed source code.

It's relatively easy to setup VPN over SSH, that might work if you need it at some time in the future.

OK, so your viewpoint is a little more clear now. You don't have a problem creating and killing animal life.

What about stem cell embryo research? Or sperm research? Does that bother you?

That's what you do every time you eat. Are you monstrous?

Only Jainism opposes it.

That surprised me, too. TypeScript is a very poorly-congealed ("designed" seems a bit strong) language.

Of the two popular scripting languages - python and ruby - python probably makes more sense as you can compile into actual binaries if you want.

For speed and parallel processing, which I'd assume they'd want, they'd be better off with Tcl or Erlang, both of which are much much better suited to this sort of work.
