No they didn't, because Congress set the limit by statute and did not give the FCC authority to override it. This isn't complicated but you're still getting it wrong.

Some give him planes, some want him to build a resort on top of their genocide...

At this rate we will end ourselves with AGW before we achieve AGI.

But if not that, it'll be nukes or biotech.

It's looking increasingly like the great filter is that ambition exceeds ability while ability also exceeds restraint, and at the same time, a species gains the ability to destroy itself. TBF our sample size is small, but it remains compelling...

Really? They were deliberately choosing genes? They selected them from a list? We usually only see that in science fiction, please provide more information on this amazing technological development!

They're all part of one creature with an inadequate brain and too many assholes. It's money and power (but I repeat myself) versus humanity and always has been.

Is someone paying you to say stupid shit? How do I get that deal?

Uh yeah, a bunch of years ago. That's why they removed the evil canary from their mission statement.

The back story is occasionally we'd find actual bugs inside electronics. Extended from there to include surveillance devices, which were often small bug like things.

It's a nickname - Sorry that it is not understandable.

The first mistake was to abandon hunter gatherer lifestyle for an agrarian lifestyle. We've been doomed ever since.

Seriously though, students have always cheated - and these were caught, just like all the rest.

Humans have been performing genetic modification ever since we abandoned Hunter gatherer days. Technology is a genie that won't go back in the bottle. A lot of people think the USA "invented" the nuclear bombs. A fission weapon was inevitable after Uncle Albert figured out mass-energy equivalence, with the simple formula e=mc squared. Others knew the formula. Others knew it could be a game changer. Radioactivity pointed to the trigger and energy supply. The Allies spent a lot of time interfering with Germany's efforts during to develop one during WW2.

Point is - this is happening.

The main issue with LLM at present is the concept that we are going to build structures that will have an infinite demand for energy. It is one of those things "How much electricity do you need? answer "How much electricity do you have?" So they look toward re-starting 70 year old nuc plant technology, and using a remarkable amount of cooling water.

Anyone with two functioning brain cells should realize pretty quickly that this is not sustainable. The present day data center concept reminds me of the early days of computing, huge energy sucking heat producing tube based computers, some that required nonstop replacing of the tubes. Then along came transistors, then integrated circuits, eventually almost all of us carrying a computer in our pockets that is so much more powerful then the old Colossus and Eniac, that it is mind numbing to consider the trip from utter secrecy to ubiquity.

I'm pretty certain that the same will happen to LLM's either by miniaturization, specialization, or lack of available energy.

But it is not going to go away.

I like how zionists insisting that other people are mentally ill can only suggest horrible things and then think that proves anything other than that they are terrible

You win the internet this week! Well played indeed.

I was just about to say the same thing. I would not be surprised if new forms of life arise even now in the benthic environment. Probably not successful, but possibly.

The whole thing about not being able to define life, FTA, is partially, the moving goalposts regarding human created life, and the desire by some to heavily categorize things.

That's how virus' are not considered life even though they evolve, reacting to their environment, and reproduce. They rely on other life to metabolize. Perhaps we've adventurously defined life?

So while very intriguing, we have to determine if this first "life" was "life as we presently define it.

This tells you how important he is to the function of Azure, a "service" which has been hacked multiple times so badly that there are no logs and Microsoft doesn't know what happened.

They hired him for his recognizable name, and he's so involved with the business that he has time to do... this.

Perhaps Microsoft should try to find someone who can solve Azure's problems to run it.

OK, but our legal system doesn't actually permit us to punish the people who did it with as much harm as they doled out...
