If my message to my wife isn't of criminal nature (and guess what: it usually isn't), then why should anyone else have the means to read it?
You've answered your own question by suggesting your matrimonial messages are sometimes of a criminal nature. Society needs the means to keep an eye on suspects like you two!
Who wants "safety", "quiet", and "low crime" in their open world video game?
That open world game is called Turn the Computer Off and Go Outside
Perhaps you've forgotten early SkyRim, where people would wander a desolate landscape for hours on foot without encountering anything more than a shack you couldn't even enter.
Maybe that's why everyone has forgotten it?
Maybe there are some in the photo who are so well camouflaged that you can't see them.
Some of them are hard to see, like the sniper in the red brick ghillie suit in the upper right.
This article is bullshit, it's founding principles are bullshit. It's non-existing proof is bullshit. It's appeal-to-fear mentality is bullshit. It's "thought leaders" are a whose who in bullshit.
All very true. And, your "past results are guarantees of future returns" argument is bullshit too.
These AI tools cannot do things. They create text (or images or code or what-have-you) in response to prompts. And that's it!
It is impressive, and it is clearly passing the Turing Test to some degree, because people are confusing the apparent intelligence behind these outputs with a combination of actual intelligence and "will."
Ask a viral pandemic if intelligence and "will" are necessary to pose a hazard to humanity. Viruses are harmless bits of code that can't do anything or even replicate on their own!
AI is not smart, and the terminator isn't coming for you.
That's exactly what a Terminator would say in the voice of its last victim. Poor Saloomy!!
"The Computer made me do it."
