It's not the SCREEN that does the damage, it's the brain rot the screen is used to access. Also the amount of time speant with the screen. Moderation is good. This shouldn't surprise people, but since it is a nuanced understanding and not just screen bad!, it will.

BOTH screwed up. The system shouldn't have made the match and the human should have done a better job seeing that the match was wrong. I'll go one larger and say the people who created the procedures screwed up because they didn't make allowances for the possibility of the first two screw-ups.

The problem is, people have been over-trusting technology since technology was invented. Consider the '70s when corporate representatives were so fond on the phrase "But the computer says...". Yes, you could hear the bold italics in their voice, as if it was the infallible final word on everything.

If THE COMPUTER says you shoplifted, rest assured, some dolt in a suit will treat that like God's own word booming from the clouds.

But every person who sets foot in that store probably "kinda" looks like someone who has shoplifted. And since shoplifters look like everybody else, everyone COULD be a shoplifter.

Go fuck yourselves.

Many have voted with hairspray and a sawzall.

It's worse, they don't have to go sentient at all. The black death wasn't sentient but it wiped out whole towns anyway.

Rogue agents with no awareness have already demonstrated that they will act against any entity with a conflicting goal, including humans.

Entry for players, that is. If they can get a console into some shmoe's hands at a lower price point and then continue to gouge that mark on game subscription prices over time, that's what they're after.

Nothing to see here. Business as usual.

IIRC, more than one lawyer has gotten in to hot water because of AI hallucinations in legal briefs. They sign their name to those, they are responsible.

The legal process is adversarial but it is not anything goes. Fabricating evidence and perjury are out of bounds for example.

I think this falls into that category.

OTOH, if the court DID use AI to make decisions, the whole court would invalidate itself, so there is some ethical wiggle room.

We took our family to Orlando to both Disneyworld and Universal Studios. It was extremely crowded, very expensive, and if you wanted to get in more than a couple of major attraction rides, you pretty much HAD to purchase the "jump the line" pass for another few hundred bucks per ticket holder. We took our elementary school aged kids and it was $4-5k for a few days for park tickets and food (not including travel and hotel expenses). Everything was egregiously expensive and the waiting around, even with the "cut the line" passes, were still fairly long.

I can't imagine how most people out there can afford the expense once you layer in the travel costs. I can only assume that many people are borrowing money to make it work. When we got home the kids said they had fun, but they didn't want to return. Whew....

AI should have no agency at all. It should only advise the human in the loop who is actually responsible for what happens.

Screen sharing is turned off by default. At least it is on the M5 Macbook air that I just bought my wife (she's a Mac addict....don't ask...hehe). I just checked.

That's complete bullshit. I have been using it as my daily driver for years as have a number of people I know who aren't particularly technical. Unless your jam is just computer gaming or you have an application that you MUST use that only runs on Windows, Linux will do pretty much anything Windows can without the licensing merry-go-round.

Or just ask for the hardware to be delivered without ANY operating system and spend the 5 minutes to pop in a USB thumb drive and install whatever you'd like.

Or buy a Mac.

Or build your own system from scratch.

Or.....

There's plenty of choices out there.
