Murder is a crime too you know.

If the argument can be proved that they ruined the minds of an entire generation using a massive AI/Big Data model running at n terraflops by deliberately addicting children during the crucial neuronal pruning period of their lives, that is at a minimum going to cost the society tens of trillions of dollars and restitution would be far more than the proposed fines.

Nobody gets a second chance at that pruning stage, at least in this lifetime.

Their profits may be far lower than the damage they caused, but that characteristic is always true of parasitic entities.

This is basically the whole point of the Island of Pleasure warning in Pinocchio.

It remains to be seen what can be proved in Courts but the DSM-6 won't be kind to their arguments as outlined in TFS.

Isn't the whole point of having human beings in the loop that they can deal with limited information and still draw correct conclusions?

If your entire behaviour is guided by that license plate number then your focus should be on getting your facts straight. Sure, confirmation bias is a thing, but especially police officers should be trained to beware of confirmation bias and so check and recheck before engaging in a stop that could endanger people.

The idea is probably from 1950's comic books but the tech seems brand new since they don't need any landing legs and use a net-on-frame architecture.

People should pay attention because they didn't have orbital technology thirty years ago and now they have a space station, reusable rockets, and are about to have a Moon base.

And possibly ultra-long flighttime 'drones' that can fly over Picatinny Arsenal unimpeded; that much is uncertain. We have no explanation for their energy budget (at least white-world).

Having a country run by engineers rather than professional thieves who hire engineers to justify pillage has certain advantages (and disadvantages).

Let's not get too overconfident.

The endless scroll is predatory at every moment.

It even reloads when you stop for a while. Switch to a different tab, do something else for five minutes, come back - it reloads and refreshes everything. Why? Because that activates a primal fear in your brain that you're losing something, missing something that might've been important, so your instinct is to NOT divert your attention elsewhere.

In theory I would agree, but the issue here is that social media platforms intentionally compromise your ability to make decisions. That's what the addictive pattern is all about. You could at any moment decide to stop scrolling and get back to work or life - but everything in there is designed so that the decision is made for you and bypasses any critical thinking paths in your brain.

And while I'm the first to agree the politicians are sleazebags and are the first ones that need much tougher regulation and laws, it's a fact that laws in this area actually do work. Anti-smoking laws have reduced smoking, for example.

Someone hasn't flown in a while.

I don't click the cheapest price. What happened is that the major airlines have copied some (not all) of the budget airline shit. Luggage used to be included, now it's an extra - which causes people to bring carry-on to the max instead, which leads to the overhead compartments always being full.

Yeah, good point. No, wait, that's complete bullshit.

I've taken a number of trips on business class in the past years. What you get in business class today is what you got in economy class 20, 25 years ago.

You know what, you may actually be right if you compare multi-thousand halfway-around-the-world intercontinental flights. I've never flown to Australia, so I can't compare that. I'm talking about shorter flights (a few hours) which I do frequently and where I can compare. We might both be right.

You monster! Won't anyone think of the stockh^H^H^H^H^Hchildren!

I honestly don't see the problem here. They did homework, cheated. Then they got the real test and failed.

So the system worked!

I assume you're one of those people who buys products - a consumer. In that case you're likely handing a significant part of your income over to that country.

Apparently it's OK to buy Chinese products (or Saudi, or ...), or to watch the Olympics or F1 or whatever in one of those countries. But when scientists in the US are no longer able to publish in peer reviewed journals if they receive Federal grants (yh, that's actually true), and they opt out and go work somewhere else, they're somehow evil?

It's not scientists and the left who have created a situation where human rights are flushed down the drain. As long as the fascists are winning ground world wide, all we can do is try and change the situation with our votes and our voices. Don't blame us for other people's mistakes, we're in the minority.

So... ordinary airport before enshitification ?

Air travel used to be pretty cool. Now absolutely every part of it is annoying. Especially the booking and its 25 upsale offers.

A few years more of this and you'll have to book business just to get a seat and fresh air.

Probably.
But the mirrors, for example, are made by Zeiss. Lots of parts are from the supply chain and ASML doesn't even HAVE their secrets.

You are right that some industrial espionage could be useful. I just say it's not as useful as most people would assume (which is basically the Hollywood plot of "steal this secret and we can copy it"). Nah. You can find on the Internet how a nuclear bomb is made. But it takes a lot more than a print-out to actually make one, and a couple of those steps are genuinely hard.

Fascinating answer.

It seems to me that the unablated thoughts fall into the category of "what would a human user expect that a good answer to this prompt would be?" - and out comes something that is clearly an aggregate of stream-of-consciousness writing.

But then the ablated models seem to go for a direct answer without much less interpretation and "pretend to be human". I wonder what that's about. I'd love the AI to answer more like the machine it is, and right now I'm getting that through skills.

They own all the patents.
