The closure of USAID certainly provided an impetus to start operations. More than a decade of planning already seems like an organizational failure.

There's no reason to believe that alien life would be as fragile as human bodies.

I don't understand that comment. It seems completely orthogonal. It's not going to provide any more of a common reference than any number of other things that an alien civilization would have experience with. It's more likely that we would have radically different technological approaches, since space-faring is a highly complex problem with numerous possible solutions.

Who should states be allowed to sue?

Don't tell the government. They will put you in a rehabilitation program.

Sweden's government mandates that private companies have systems in place to prevent cybersecurity attacks.

In general, there are industry best practices. Failing to adhere to those will result in liability because you know precisely why those industry best practices exist.

ISPs will incur financial liability for any losses resulting from poorly secured networks. You can't just claim that there isn't a law about slippery sidewalks, so I don't need to shovel them. Failure to adhere to basic industry standard practices results in financial liability should something go wrong.

I have to agree. Regulation without any enforcement or penalties is pointless. It does make someone somewhere feel good, and politicians get to say "I did something!" It's roughly the equivalent of the government requiring you to tie your shoes. ISPs already secure their networks to reduce their liability footprint. If you don't want to tie your shoes or secure your network, you can't blame the government for not "requiring" you to do it when you fall on your face.

What happened to football fields or soccer pitches?

Ask the lawyer to file a motion to demand that custody of the accounts be changed. This isn't hard.

Because multiple companies are operating under the OpenAI name. Is this another Sam Bankman-Fried who is going to "borrow" money from the public company into the nonprofit as salaries and other expenses, never to be seen again?
