Seems like some people only care about things, like privacy, rules, etc... when it's concerning and/or affects them. I expect more from law enforcement officers -- any public servants really -- but am not naive enough to believe we'll (always) get that. A lot of dickheads are drawn to positions of power/authority over others.
Felix instructed me to pick up a telephone receiver that was resting on a flexible sculpture of a wooden hand.
Not only slow and cumbersome for an in-store purchase, but probably dangerous w/o the people on Ark B.
If its a bot, that account has been posting since 2009 with 500+ comments scored at 5 which is 4x what your account has accomplished.
Thanks! I'm not a bot, the name is just mixed slang from Farscape and Futurama. My post history apparently goes back to November 10, 2008, though I would swear I posted earlier than that. I know I've been reading
In the first, it was following the installer down the road, which is always suspicious.
A clearly marked journalist following someone to see what they're going to do - almost like it's their job. Doesn't sounds like the flock installer mentioned to 911 that the person taking videos and pictures, following and "harassing" him (that he knew for a fact) was wearing clearly-marked identification of a local news station. Of course, that wouldn't have instilled the same urgency. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Flock techs are instructed to call 911 on reporters trying to observe them. Predictably, people taking part in the surveillance are the ones who dislike being surveilled the most.
Courts have ruled again and again that the police have no duty to protect.
So... I guess the Police should be sued for false advertising for putting "To Protect and Serve" on all the vehicles.
I am sure you know this and are just trying to shit on the editors, as one does on
And, apparently, Altman lies - a lot.

Automattic's Board Forces CEO Matt Mullenweg Into Leave of Absence
It had to be done manually.
This. AIs are the ultimate sociopaths, they will commit any crime without hesitation because they have no values and no sense of "right" and "wrong", they only have a task and your suffering is not a concern.
Looking forward to the AIs becoming politicians and/or billionaires.
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)
If companies are people, they should be charged and punished like people.
Ya, but they want all the rights and privileges w/o any of the responsibilities and liabilities.
Send Anthropic to jail for years and companies won't do this again in future.
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.
"That's nothing, our latest model has more than 20% chance of killing mankind!"

Given the comp-bro-tition among these companies, I wouldn't bet against that.
AI is devouring water and electricity. It's also spewing a wide variety of toxic chemicals into the air you breathe and your ground water.
They would very much like you to talk about the imaginary risks of skynet instead of the very real risks of billionaire finance Bros doubling your power bill and your water bill while their diesel power generators give you asthma.
Noting that a US federal court says no constitutional right to clean water in Mississippi case so I'm guessing they'll feel the same way about clean air.
A US appellate court has decided that the federal constitution does not guarantee a right to clean water.
That legal opinion came in the form of a decision on Friday from the fifth circuit court of appeals to uphold a lower court’s dismissal of a 2022 lawsuit from several Jackson, Mississippi, residents claiming that tainted drinking water violated their constitutional rights. Those residents of Mississippi’s capital city contended that their local drinking water was unsafe to drink because of high lead levels and other contaminants.
To be fair though, the article also noted this my the majority judges:
In the majority’s view, residents should have gone about their legal fight for clean water another way, such as pursuing “tort claims” or by “electing representatives who will better manage the public-water system, and petitioning their representatives for other remedies”.
Tort claims allege “harms caused by others” while seeking “to impose liability on parties responsible for the harm, and to deter others from committing harmful acts”, according to Cornell University’s law school.
Who knows what (this) SCOTUS would rule no matter what case is pursued.
They made a phone that doesn't fit in a pocket unless you wear cargo pants 24/7.
From TFS:
the device is roughly the size of a passport when closed
My actual passport fits in both the front and back pockets of my jeans. If it was thicker, like this phone, it would probably be a more difficult fit in the front pocket, where I usually carry my Pixel 5a - I never carry my phone in a back pocket.
