So they are going to be tracking which parts of the model have data from which training data and then paying the publishers whose data was involved in any output, right?

Democracy requires an educated electorate. This is something else.

Private care is so spectacularly bad that VA health care can be very bad and still be better.

I can't remember the last time I witnessed a hospital demonstrating general competence. Usually there are only a few people who can even do their jobs correctly and management is clinically worthless.

The government doesn't care about munitions after use, and it's always treated soldiers that way

If you wanted to call the entire assemblage a robot, maybe. Calling the motes robots is nonsense.

It should have been prevented economically before this instead of what actually happened

You just let us know you're racist for free thanks

What makes you think it ended?

Fixed cameras are easily avoided by someone looking to commit a crime. It's not hard to map out the cameras and calculate blind spots, or to disguise yourself such that the captured footage is useless for identifying you.

A live guard can move around, and will also easily identify someone who's taken measures to obscure their face.

A current robot is somewhere between, it's basically a mobile camera so it's less predictable/avoidable than a fixed camera, but not as good as a live guard. They're limited by laws currently, otherwise you could build a terminator/robocop style robot that was armed. Now that absolutely would deter/stop crime.

I'm in favor of enforcement of laws which protect rights, but it's cheap and easy to get such devices, and there are valid reasons for them to exist — like knives.

You could cook with only shorter knives. It would be a lot more difficult (I also cook) but it would be possible.

I don't think most people who can afford a thousand dollars for a phone plan to keep their phone for longer than the 7 years Google will support their Pixel devices these days, nor do they want to buy a phone which has been out for very long. The poors will accept last year's iPhone, or an even older one, or the Shitty Edition bundled into their phone plan.

For a non-Pixel device you'd have a solid point, as most other Android phones have abysmally short support lifespans. Then again, many of those phones are so much cheaper you can buy one every three years...

It's partly end stage for a nearly dead country that causes us to have to talk about politics now.

But it's also partly because we didn't take politics seriously, and get involved enough in it. If we had discussed it a lot more sooner, maybe we wouldn't have to discuss it so much now.

Even if it could find the answer it might mess it up before it gave it to you. It might give you the right answer sometimes and not other times, especially if the right answer has changed...

Wikipedia wasn't banned, though one asshole did introduce a bill which tried.

You can't cite ANY encyclopedias after elementary school, whether it's claimed they are particularly inaccurate when they aren't, or not.

We would have fixed this with wind and solar already if the money holders didn't think nuclear was going to solve these problems any day now.
