The problem the Government has with Mythos class models is their ability to mass exploit our infrastructure.
This is not too dissimilar from the Government limiting the export of strong cryptography.
I realize everything the Trump administration does is horrible because orange-man bad... but seriously, what would you do if an industry produced a tool that had the power to exploit countless zero-days, provides questionable advice to children without accountability, all while consuming so much power they need their own nuclear plant? A rational mind might anticipate the need for government oversight. Sadly, we don't have many of those when it comes to politics.

./ why do you continue to fail your community?

When did slashdot get so political? I thought this was a tech site.
Just because it involves Facebook doesn't make it worthy.
I'd focus on finding better tech topics and avoiding reposting the same articles from a month ago.

>> on the basis of sex as well as race, color, national origin and religion.

I thought in this brave new world where Sex and Gender are seen as being different, Sex was the thing you could not change.
Is this just a typo from someone not well versed in Woke?

Looks like Slack copied everything from HipChat. Now people are crying about Teams copying from Slack.
ITS A CHAT APP! AOL had this back in the early 90s! These things take about 1 - 3 months to write from scratch!
Its like I am taking crazy pills over here.

Did you notice that the presenter forgot to turn his mic. off and can be heard saying, "It worked. Everything worked... ha, ha."
I am not sure if that instills confidence or not, but I found it amusing.

"The peculiar rules of quantum theory meant that it could be both dead and alive, until the box was opened and the cat's state measured."

I think maybe why everyone is finding so many strange side effects with this thought experiment is that it is based on a premise that it is fundamentally flawed.
Unless you're a hooker, there is no such thing as being dead and alive at the same time. You are either dead or alive... measuring the situation simply tells you the state you are in, and have probably been in for a while.

We do the same exact same thing here in the US, but done in secret with Tax payer dollars. That is why the Chinese are smarter... they get Google to manage and pay for it all. Brilliant move.

If only their quality was as high as their quantity.
One common complaint within scholarly circles in recent times is the unusually low quality of published works coming out of China.
China is to academic publishing as India is to computer software development. It seems like every other person there is producing this stuff, but only a very small subset produce something worth paying attention to.

Hopefully this helps you think more critically:

Why, so they would lose more money in legal fees?
There is no copyright on the Statue of Liberty, but an artist's rendition of the statue is copyrightable.
I wish more people took the time to understand how copyright law worked.

The saddest part of this entire thing is that our tax dollars are going to pay for this mistake.

I was reading about how they rediscovered the recipe to "Roman Concrete"... apparently a chemical reaction with volcanic ash and salt water and some other ingredients. That is what we should be comparing things to. That stuff can sit at the bottom of the sea for over 1000 years and not be turned into sand. This stands in direct opposition to the current crap we are producing. After 5 years at our new office building I was able to rip up a chunk of sidewalk with my bare hand and crumble it.

Hopefully we can get away from these stupid spinning disks. They waste electricity, are slow, get scratched and smudged... give me a solid state movie!

So I was watching one of those Babylonian Ancient Aliens videos on Youtube, to kill time, and they started talking about this extra planet in our solar system that apparently held a more advanced race and were seen as Gods according to some ancient Babylonian manuscripts / legends. Three weeks after laughing that one off I come to read this. Expect the Ancient Aliens community to go nuts :/

"But what do we do if there are no jobs available, even if they are willing, even desparate, to work?"
Well, today we put many of them on disability.

"Of course, you can just take the libertarian approach: let them starve."
That is not true, a libertarian would first let social groups, like churches, try to help these people instead of the tax payers, aka the Government.
The difference is that one group wants to help, the other group is forced to help.
