Comment Still can't turn off update notice (Score 1) 65

For all they keep doing, the one thing they can't seem to do is make a checkbox to stop being harassed about updates. Apparently there is no way to do to this. It's much too complicated for them to figure out.

Perhaps they should put out a notice asking if anyone has the skills to create the checkbox and make it work.

Comment Re:Autonomy and Automation (Score 2) 73

In other words, autonomy is not merely the ability to act without a human in the loop. It is the ability to exercise useful judgment when the correct action is not already specified.

Then you are using the wrong tool for the job. Whatever AI is right now, it can not judge. It can simulate judging, but it can not actually judge. You are asking too much of AI.

To be honest, the stench of magical thinking is strong here. AI is a semi-random output of what has gone before. No actual judging is possible.

Dude, you never received the memo: Rules are for losers and poor people. Us winners don't have time to follow the rules or else we lose our edge. So, of course the government is involved with suppressing labor demands. The government is ran by winners and we currently have the winningest Executive since the dawn of America.

DeShaney v. Winnebago County 1989 the SCOTUS ruled that police do not have a duty to protect citizens unless they are in their custody.

It is cute that you believe that... but since that ruling, the police left a woman handcuffed in a car on train tracks and a train (unsurprisingly) killed her. What can be derived from that incident is that the police do not have a duty to protect even if you are in their custody.

To be honest, I am unsure of what duties a police officer has anymore. They do shoot people, so I guess THAT is in their remit.

There is no way in hell that Flock ever comes out of this as a viable company.

There is no way you understand the current situation if you believe what you are saying. Flock will be one of the largest quasi-governmental agencies for the next hundred years. You have no idea how intensely those who control everything WANT Flock. It will be implemented even if it causes the entire population to go into full rebellion. There is literally no stopping this. Once technology made this situation possible, it became inevitable.

Get back to talking about how we're whooping Iran's ass at no cost to oursel-- SHUT UP, I SAID NO COST!!!!1

You won't see this on the Fox tabloid, but the acting Navy Secretary admitted at a Congressional hearing that Iran "blew the hell" out of a naval base in Bahrain such that the USS Abraham Lincoln (sound familiar?) couldn't dock for resupply.

So yeah. Whooping Iran's ass at no cost.

Kids are expected to sit in class for six hours a day then go home and potentially do homework for an hour or two.

The difference is, there are breaks in those six hours. You're in class for 55 minutes, then you get up and walk to your next class, rinse and repeat. Depending on your schedule, breaks could even be longer. You get up and move about. You're not stuck in the same chair for six hours.

Stupid stunts all around. The only way to deal with a tyrant is to stand up to a tyrant.

Let them take the licenses and keep broadcasting anyway. Film the boots kicking it in and tearing it down, make them do all the bad things they threaten. They need you to believe that resistance is futile, it is not. Their future is futile.

The irony of that speech coming from Anonymous Coward. It is to laugh. ROFL

Fuck you coward.

Spacetime is created through energy becoming matter. The Big Bang was "merely" energy becoming matter. As long as that continues, spacetime will continue "growing".

I want to know what caused energy to start becoming matter. Asking where the energy came from to begin with is like asking about where God came from.

Comment Re: These companies need to bring charges (Score 1) 124

The question is whether she is responsible or not.

Absolutely not. She *IS* responsible. She did kill the children. The only question is what does society need to do to protect itself from her. Clearly, she needs psychiatric supervision, not jail; however, elements of society feel the need for punishment because she killed children. Understandable, but ultimately a primitive view.

These companies that were hit should be bringing criminal charges against Anthropic.

They can't bring criminal charges as only the State can bring criminal charges. I have no idea why the State is not acting, but that is not up to the companies. The only thing the companies can do is sue.

(sometimes, the State will ask the victim if the victim wants to press charges, which is why there is any confusion at all about this)
