Did you see the pictures of the AIs in the study?
What's with that lighting? They didn't adjust for the fact that the woman looks slightly more like a serial killer, with a wrinkled skirt pulled up to her ribcage. I haven't seen graphics that bad since Metaverse. The study noticed it, but didn't adjust for it. Relevant quote:

"Johanna was perceived as less human-like than Johan"
Because the graphics were terrible.

Pure mathematics...but sometimes lead to unexpected discoveries that do turn out to be useful, and rarely turn out to transform entire scientific fields.
It's irritating when that happens. Ruins the fun. Then I have to go research something different.

Yeah, I'm just not sure "weak to private equity" is a reasonable metric for which companies should be culled.

When I'm relaxing in the evening, it doesn't matter if the sun is out. I also prefer to be able to function and do my job well during the day. I expect to be tired in the evening.
For most of my career I worked in a windowless box. Artificial lighting means it doesn't matter what it looks like outside.
Frankly, I don't think they're going far enough - if the goal is evening enjoyment and the outdoors, set sunrise to noon.

Not sure what your point is against a reality like that.
My point is that you're deluded.

No, you're confusing the definition of censorship with what restraints on free speech are constitutional.
Oh, now you are trying to nitpick?
You are the one who said, "Censorship means suppression of speech or expression by a governing authority." which is a really dumb thing to say, otherwise "government censorship" or "self-censorship" wouldn't be terms.

Censorship is a problem when you are not free to express an idea.
The form of the idea can be limited without it being censorship: for example, you can't protest with a bullhorn in the middle of the night.
Free speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you, it means the people who want to listen to you are able to. Youtube demonetizing a video is not censorship. Removing videos because they don't like the ideas in the videos is the worst kind of censorship, because they are trying to control you.

Yeah, the anti-hacking law is over-broad but makes "knowingly accesses" an important aspect:

If you didn't knowingly hack the computer, apparently it's not illegal (unless it's fraud or causes other damage or something).

It's not hard to make a computer that is unbeatable in Starcraft, because the computer can click perfectly every time. According to your link:
the unauthorized version of Pluto was additionally modified to use a maphack...During some games, Pluto reached several thousand actions per minute... the bot used its micro to surround and neutralize Mutalisks... the bot simultaneously fought in multiple areas of the map, precisely micro-managed its units
So yeah, that kind of clicking (and maybe perfect information, or maybe not) gives the computer a massive advantage, it doesn't even need a neural network to win.
