What kind of hardware is he running? To run frontier open weight model like Kimi K3 you need at least 500k-1mm in compute equipment, meaning minimum two NVIDIA DGX B300s; which are often unobtainium due to high demand. Then you need ridiculous cooling and electricity, not something you put in a garage or office server closet. Or you can use a zero data retention cloud provider and pay per usage...

Muslim is not a race.

I just got a Pebble watch, which I like. And likely doesn't do this kind of shit. (it seems a little under powered to pull it off)
But now I feel like people are going to be suspicious around anyone with a smart water.

That said, if more people knew what a MEMS microphone looked like, and how cheap they are. They would not be talking around any electronics. Many of the raspberry-pi knock off boards I've bought have some kind of microphone on them, one had two rice grain sized ones. Maybe that's cool for some use, and it's certainly handy to have more peripherals on a cheap development board. But if a $35 board can have them included basically for free, then we can assume that anything with a battery or internet connection has one.

Mamdani practices taqiyya, both he and his wife have in the past publicly expressed support for terrorist organizations and he essentially blamed the victim on Oct 7th.

We've always been a very authoritarian-friendly country. People here love using their power to capriciously determine what others cannot say and cannot do. Combined with money being our true God. Freedom is not really valued here because you cannot buy and sell it on the open market.

Don't forget Paxton gave a lenient sentence to Adam Hoffman who raped a friend's kid for over three years.

What remedy does the law provide for crimes committed by a computer? Not a person using a computer. The computer itself.

Politicians, then "influencers"?

You absolutely cannot turn AI off.

Let me know when all this heart rate monitoring can do loss-of-pulse detection and call emergency services if I have a heart attack. That's worth paying for. Having slightly more frequent heart rate monitoring? Don't care. Not even a little.

It had to be done manually. :-)

Looking forward to the AIs becoming politicians and/or billionaires. /s

In future dystopian news: At some point we were stupid enough to start also treating AIs like people, like we do corporations, and Claude, a U.S. "citizen", turned 35, ran for President, and people in colored hats elected it. (sigh)

Ya, but they want all the rights and privileges w/o any of the responsibilities and liabilities.

Well... either send some high-level executive(s) to jail and/or fine the company harder than what would amount to a slap on the wrist pocket-change. But you're right in that their corporate victims should be able to get some relief/compensation - just as if an actual person in the company had committed those crimes.

These companies, owned/run by the richest people on the planet, shouldn't get a pass because, "Oops, the AI did it, our bad." There's no "oops" here.

Come on they could have said something milder and presidential like "you've got to grab it by the pussy".

Which I've always hated because it makes no sense.

Lots of things make no sense in physics. How can a single particle split itself in half and the interfere with itself but only if you're not watching too hard? Nonsense!
