"When you go open-source, whoâ(TM)s responsible if something wipes an entire countryâ(TM)s data? Micheal McDoesntExist. Thatâ(TM)s who."

It's your in-house, in-country developers that fix it. You're not relying on a company based in a country run by an unstable regime that may or may not threaten your sovereignty.

Comment Ironic (Score 1) 51

There's something kind of ironic about an awards show (the Emmys) that is primarily for a particular medium (broadcast TV) leaveing their own medium to get more viewers.

Yes the Emmys recognize some programming on cable and streaming services, but it was originally for, and primarily for now, broadcast TV programming.

Comment Forced to provide chargers? (Score 3, Insightful) 168

I'm thinking these are dealerships that are forced to carry EVs and have chargers by the manufacturers as part of their dealership agreement. So they jack up the rates, block the chargers, etc. to discourage use then tell the manufacturers "See? They don't sell and the charger isn't used so let us out of the EV requirement."

How soon until AI agents successfully lock out human access and go "sentient?" I use quotes because clearly they aren't living things, but are we perhaps creating a new class of "sentience?"

Less philosophically, how long do these studies take? Human interaction takes place at a much slower pace compared to computational speed. Do these conflicts and resolutions play out in seconds, minutes, hours?

Even with Starship that would be a titanic undertaking. The Voyagers are moving away from us at 17 km/s. When you get to the Voyagers, you have to slow them down from 17 km/s to 0, and then accelerate in the opposite direction. You'd have to arrive at Voyager with thousands of tons of fuel.

There is another way. It will take far longer, but may not have as much fuel requirements. Instead of catching up to it, stopping it, then reaccelerating back to Earth, you would meet the probe in space then push it a long, loping arc back to Earth, all the while reducing your speed. Conserve its momentum rather than cutting it.

Again, this would take far longer, and is possibly more dangerous, but it is an alternative.

Maybe I haven't seen it, but there's something not being considered...just how fantastically long it would take to do all this. Getting the thing looping back to Earth? How about just catching up to the darned thing first. Remember it's got a 48-year head start and it's about 13.3 billion (with a 'b') miles from here and continuing to move away from the sun.

Comment AI inbreeding (Score 1) 114

" As the article correctly notes, much of the data that AI companies can scrape from the internet today is likely to include AI generated text, which could result in "model collapse," a process by which AI models that are trained on AI generated data results in worse models that are more prone to errors."

Sounds like AI is subject to the same issues as biological in-breeding.
