Ignore that innocent looking guy in a hard hat and construction vest carrying a clipboard. I'm sure he's authorized to flip those switches and turn those knobs and open those valves.

It won't be long before a rogue AI goes all Robert Morris and wreaks widespread havoc. Bets on whether it'll happen by accident or on purpose?

Gender Studies teacher?

Ordinary citizen gets caught spearphishing: prosecution. Company gets caught spearphishing: nothing.

They will cool the water with a refrigerator, which will ensure the system will be carbon neutral, right?

There are selfish genes, and there are stupid genes. Guess which ones make up Dawkins' DNA?

This should have been the first, and only, comment in the thread. Especially because LLMs don't "think" or "feel" (or for that matter do anything at all) while idle, which is pretty much a requirement to be considered "conscious".

How does a chatbot know what is a delusion and what isn't?

How does a delusional human distinguish between good and bad advice from a machine that is prone to hallucinate?

It would be better if Satoshi Nakamoto sued him.

The company also highlights some of the benefits of the switch, including improved security, RCS support, AI features, and better multi-device connectivity.

Wait, AI features are a benefit? Haha, no.

Indeed, when prosecutors tested Claude by asking whether it could give legal advice, the bot advised them to "consult with a qualified attorney."

It's astounding they bothered asking Claude that question. They are pre-supposing Claude is qualified to answer the question in the first place. What would they have done if Claude had said yes? Claude is no more qualified than a toaster to give legal advice. If it's a question of legality, then Claude is *not* the one to ask; the court should know the answer to that question without having to consult anybody but the current laws.

For decades Madison Avenue has been using psychology to get you to buy products. Just say no.

We've all seen this comic strip before. Microsoft is Lucy. Windows is the football. Consumers (you and me) are Charlie Brown.

This. Unlimited messages to scroll through, scammers, pedophiles, weirdos, etc. all existed decades ago on BBSes and Usenet, and yet those never got legislated out of existence.

Two words: Personal responsibility

I installed 100 surveillance cameras in my warehouse, which means I hired 100 "employees" to watch over my warehouse.

See how stupid this sounds?

AI agents, regardless of their sophistication, are not employees. They are tools to be used by employees, even if only one employee is using them. Hell, even if an AI agent controls another AI agent, they're both tools, and neither is an actual employee, even if they do work that was once done by an employee.
