That's the crux of it. We have a bunch of legislators squawking like frightened chickens about "printing guns" who don't realize that the essential parts that make it a gun can't be printed in plastic (unless you WANT to go have an ER physician pluck plastic bits out of your face).

Meanwhile, no regulation whatsoever on the plumbing aisle of your favorite hardware store where you can get parts for a useful improvised gun.

Match fixing is a thing but in the major sports, the TV revenue is larger than betting revenue by several orders of magnitude.

Very true, but betting on games makes people more likely to watch tehm, driving viewership and TV revenue. Major sports may decry the impact of gambling and run all the Addicted? Call ... ads hey want, but the reality is gambling helps driver viewership which brings in money so you can do the math...

I wondered how long. it would take before they did this. Businesses are good to start with because tehy are used to shipping via a carrier, Amazon is just one more carrier to see how much they can save with them vs UPS/FedEX/USPS. Home is harder because the last miles is variable; so you can't set fixed pickup routes and handling pickups takes longer tahn delivering and also need sorting so adding it to the drop-offs would be a challenge. However, a partnership with USPS to handle last mile and Amazon ships makes sense, FedEx and UPS already handle mail so it's not some new idea; Amazon could bid for the contract, and winning deprives competitors of lower margin freight that can be used to cube or weight out a plane. Amazon, meanwhile, gets volume for deadheading planes and trucks.

They're stupid enough to have an AI agent delete their entire production database from the also vibe coded storage service that keeps the "backups" in the backed up volume (so no restore possible), AND has no concept of limiting auth tokens (all tokens are god mode) AND then deciding to continue vibe coding with the very same storage service.

It really is as bad as Bart Simpson repeatedly shocking himself on the electrified cupcake Lisa left out.

They thought instructing the AI to "make no mistakes" would prevent the problem.
