The Dumb Design Of Modern Cars

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Wait. No. I guess *they* won instead.

That argument is neither informative nor cogent.

Nobody is forcing the AI companies to destroy any books. The intention is that their AIs don't read the books without permission. If the AI companies don't know how to do that, then they should not read the books in the first place. That's the intention of copyright law. The right to copy belongs to the author and/or assignee. It doesn't belong to the AI companies, and never has.

See also: "Your honour, the Law forced me to steal money in secret, because if I stole it in public I would have been arrested for stealing!"

Incorrect. NVIDIA owns a figment, since OpenAI has no market valuation.

Feel free to keep trolling about how you know "business" though, it's entertaining.

A farmer from 1452 just texted me on my iPhone. He wants to know what he should dump on his roots to increase the yield?

Show me a VP, who, like, totally like talks about, I mean, like awesome algos and such, and I, like, will show you a VP like who doesn't, you know. There. That's what I mean.

"Should we open-source something that has the ability to kill humanity? If you don't take that seriously, you're just a fool."

That's not even the wrong question.

Should we connect untested random command generators to the Internet, build connectors between web hosts that allow command traffic to flow unimpeded, and set up our real world systems so that they can be controlled from web hosts?

YMMV. Personally speaking, if I was a "Chinese leader", I would quietly "disappear" the people who design and develop these systems.

I've never liked RDP. Just give me X over ssh...

It feels artificial though, when half of slashdotters staunchly defend a serial liar and con man no matter what.

We no longer live in the days of Hans Reiser's crimes, when the default position was that everyone is equal before the law, and that murder is wrong. That's when Slashdot could reasonably host discussions on the concrete facts of the matter.

Now it's all about left vs right this, DEI that, and speculation about transgender surgery. TFA is just an excuse to rehash all this, no matter what TFA is about.

It's not that weird. Microsoft and Apple have been modifying their UIs for years with the aim of simplifying it so that ignorant users can do standard tasks. The average user today has no idea what a "file" is or where it is stored (what's a "directory"? what's a "filesystem"?)

In 1986, you were responsible for picking a physical location for your word processing files, consequently you were empowered to back them up.

Why? It's not the parents' job to stop drug pushers in the street talking to their children. It's the police's job. Kids are simply kids. It's American companies that are predatory. The state should absolutely get involved and cut them to size.

There can't possibly be enough miniature human beings to make this research worthwhile

You'd be surprised! I've bought a lot of fairly cheap designer furniture on Ali Express, and every time I open the box it turns out to be miniature scale...

We should all be both terrified and ready to open our wallets

Why? If they're pausing work, that means they're not chasing profits. Without new profits, who's going to open their wallets? That does not compute.

Duh! The humans are just introducing them to see if the AIs are still paying attention!

Later in the interview he says "It's less than one in a million alerts that an officer says, 'I'm not sure if that's right.' Less than one in a million."

Also: one million alerts correctly classified for every single failure? Let's say it takes the officer 10 seconds to register an alert and assign it to a local policeman for investigation. 10 million seconds at 8 hours per day uninterrupted is 348 working days: a little under a year and a half. That's 348 days of accepting the computer's choice no matter what. Must be monotonous.
