Do we all have to comply with the lowest common denominator? Perhaps some thinks it's the hugest, but it certainly doesn't have jurisdiction everywhere.

Maybe some kind location-based jurisdiction AI is in order.

The French will be on Britain's side this time and the Germans too, probably...albeit coincidentally.

Perhaps, "Now you know how it feels!" is more likely.

"For an assignment testing students' ability to make evidence-based arguments, they participate in a simulated school board meeting about banning books. It involves debating chatbots designed by Zeleny with names like the Confrontational Parent."

This a VERY thinly veiled parallel to a hotly divided political issue that teachers/unions [and chatbot trained bias] tend be on one side of and the majority of the public, parents, and truth on the opposite of. Given that adults of the highest levels of performance in our society, be it professional achievement, economic achievement, political achievement, IQ, and education disagree on the matter it sounds like what the teacher is likely testing is alignment with her own ideology and not evidence-based arguments.

I saw the same thing in many of my own courses, examples and material used in classes [especially logic classes like critical thinking] that taught and test concepts through distilled 'analogs' to popular political issues with an attempt to appear neutral and present both sides while actually presenting a weakened strawman of one side the argument and consistently that strawman was on the same side. Cleverly these were not the topics for essays where students spent effort on time and research and independent thought but the class examples that most would never look at additional material on... simply walk away believing they formed a valid independent judgement at the pinnacle of their own education.

I bought the tivo competitor, ReplayTV, but it was killed because it automatically skipped ads...or something. It was a long time ago, but it was a great device.

This migration is not new. It's been happening for many years already.

KylinOS is not completely unrelated to Ubuntu Kylin...

You can't tell if entangled particles have been observed, or not?

It doesn't have to be. China doesn't much care if the USA is successful or not; only that China isn't held back, which seems to be the USA's MO of late.

Perhaps the USA and China can cooperate.

Lol, I know, I know. The USA is too proud/arrogant/ignorant for that.

Still, it would be nice to see.

There's nothing much to say that China won't share either. China is not the USA. The USA keeps looking in the mirror and thinking it is seeing China.

Perhaps they were forced into doing more than they might have done, by the USA deciding not to share...

It seems to be a pattern. The USA tries to keep China down by raising fences/denying it technology/etc/etc, and China adjusts its priorities accordingly, and overcomes the problems and continues to advance.

I'd successfully de-Googled myself some time ago, but have grown to rely on Microsoft Copilot for helping me with life issues. That still requires a VPN, and Copilot uses the evil Cloudflare to check I'm human which is exceedingly over-zealous for VPN users. So, I need to move off yet another US company's service because I want (geographic) freedom. I've attempted to switch to Kimi, but it's slower and the paid service is wait listed. It's also a real pita to move existing chats/issues from one AI to another (bridge documents)...in kimi, it abruptly stops chats when they get too long (an auto-generated bridge document would be useful there).

I wish there was a Personal Assistant app that would manage all this "abruptly ending chat" and "losing memory" pain, by storing a continuous bridge document locally, along with all the files you've uploaded for analysis. There seem to be some similar apps, but nothing exactly like I am having to do manually.

That's not what is happening here. One party no longer exists, and rget are suing that company's hosting service who, rightly (imo), is not providing access to the data without a court order. Once they get the court order, they're (presumably) off the hook.

Some, maybe, but I think the point is that it doesn't bias students one way or another....of course, they all run web browsers, so, yeah...doesn't matter really.

Is that a good thing? It's one of the advantages of a Chromebook, iinm...well, it was before they added android support.

Which of those can't be done in a web browser?
