>That's how democracy works. Elected officials make the rules, civil servants enforce them.

no, that's how a bureaucratic republic works. These days it's the favored cover for a plutocracy.

Go ask ChatGPT or Claude a question no one has ever written down. How many hamsters would it take to chew through Africa like a locust swarm? If London Bridge were built out of paper, where would it first structurally fail? The LLM will probably be able to either answer correctly or take a damn good shot at it. This is evidence that LLMs can at least approach engineering problems. Same for asking them for a circuit layout for basic arbitrary tasks, as long as the answer is within context window.

Am I supposed to see the word "risk" and ask the government to come save me? Give me liberty or give me death.

autonomous killing robots are a bad idea because there is nothing to stop them from killing you next.
  killing indiscriminately is a war crime. just because the russians do plenty o war crimes does not make it ok for the other side to do them.

Complaining only about Chinese trolls is some combination of blind and hypocritical. There are troll farms in every direction, certainly here on Slashdot where non-leftist opinions are down voted by sock puppets.

k but its maybe not worth unleashing literal terminators.

should the russians be nuked? survey says probably not. rules of war are like the prime directive. mostly people have to follow it to remain civilized.

Teach girls marriage is slavery. Teach boys approaching girls is harassment. Subsidize divorce. Take away mens support networks. Tell women if they're not working something is wrong with them. Tilt college entrance and careers heavily toward the graphic that only wants to date up. Give all the wealth to the upper, upper class. Make housing expensive. Make health care prohibitive.

Why are birth rates collapsing? Must be smart phones.

Don't worry, there's redemption for every bigot. You could start by watching the speech about judging people by the content of their character.

Ublock Origin is still going strong. Pair it with Noscript.

It makes a huge difference for me. A model with some actual capabilities, which isn't tied to someone else's infrastructure, billing and tracking network. I'm stalled making a game because I lack such abilities.

It hasn't been abliterated yet.

There is a point where making another remake is riskier than making something new. We passed that point 15 movies ago.

The smart thing to do would have been to hire him if he has credentials that could have been supplied by another nation, to follow him to catch a line on his contacts, and to feed him false information intended for that nation. Or just arrest him after you've verified that he's not, in fact, a double agent and is just working for himself.

One party claims to support things you like. The other doesn't. But both sides support corporatism, the military industrial complex, corruption, and tax loopholes and other perks for the wealthy. Stop supporting the uniparty.

reminds me of that sneakers chip from the movie. picture it marty, all code is cracked and exploited. all systems are compromised. no more secrets.
