Talk about a money shot. If Anthropic argues that this use doesn't wash away restrictions, then they're also arguing that their software is illegal. Shades of copyleft.

If they have a smoking gun? Sure. And the SEC will want in, too. Otherwise? GLWT

Humans have flaws. Taxi drivers sometimes commit crimes. Nothing I will say here is meant to imply that humans are perfect. But they can at least be trusted to do something predictable most of the time. A computer cannot, so you can't trust it on its OR even as much as a human. But you also can't trust central management. QED, you simply cannot ever trust an autonomous taxi.

Finding ways to replace human work is the backbone of progress, but sometimes replacing a human is not actually a good idea.

Yes, defending victims is a famously arrogant activity.

Still probably true BTW, though ironically my example is the opposite. I bought a pair of issue desert boots and a paid of issue arctic boots at the same time. The arctic boots came with two sets of liners, were flawless, I still have them. The desert boots came apart on like the second wear, which sadly was long after I bought them. They disintegrated at a seam.

Sigh. I meant to write more there that would make that comment make more sense as a reply to your comment.

Anyway... why not just tampered with clones? Fix your defects, with a broad definition of "defect"

This story is about clones.

The word "Clones" appears in the headline, summary, and article.

You're confusing the importance of avoiding Kessler syndrome in LEO with the difficulty of causing Kessler syndrome. GEO debris can potentially remain there for millions of years before interactions between the gravitational pull of the Sun, Earth, and Moon sufficiently perturb it. LEO debris remains for weeks to months. You have to have many orders of magnitude more debris in LEO to trigger Kessler Syndrome, where the rate of collisions exceeds the rate of debris loss.

The fact that a LEO Kessler Syndrome would also be short is something that exists on top of that.

It's also worth nothing that not only are modern satellites not only vastly better at properly disposing of themselves than they were in the 1970s when Kessler Syndrome was proposed, but they're also vastly better at avoiding debris strikes. All of these factors are multiplicative together.

I mean, I prefer the brainless version and if so....what's the controversy?

Please SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!

Are there that few people that would be willing to do just about anything to live longer or near forever???

If you don't have a very healthy sense of self preservations, then please drop out of line, but if given half the chance for much longer life, potentially having a young body again....PLEASE TAKE MY MONEY and put me near the head of the line.

You can't even see that the summary says the so-called age verification is being done with ID verification and you want to tell me I'm missing something? Pure clown shit that EVERYONE BUT YOU figured out.

I was thinking the same thing, The Island really is what they are promoting here, without saying that the clones are actually alive and not "brainless".

Putin is 73. Khamenei is 56, although apparently injured by the attack that killed his father.

But what if I need a piece of brain? Abby what, you say?

Lol, I was thinking of this instead ;)

It's not in the future, and if you could both read and understand the fine summary, you would understand that. Feel free to try to read and understand it again, it's right there.
