Perhaps you simply misread my statement. Waymo falls into the "or where autonomous operation is managed by humans and limited to designated areas" category. Otherwise I have no clue what you think is "completely wrong".

Waymo is responsible for Waymos. What you are doing is reading cherry picked press accounts of fleeting technical issues in certain jurisdictions that have already been mostly corrected and drawing generalizations from them that are frankly unmoored from reality.

Waymo is driving the vehicle.. In a Tesla the driver is driving the vehicle regardless of whether the car is controlling the vehicle.

I looked into this and at least Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, Georgia and California can all issue traffic violations to Waymo. I don't know about all jurisdictions.. got tired of looking.

So no certainly not "virtually all" and your previous statement "The laws as written currently do not cover a situation outside of direct human control and intent." is also incorrect.

I like the parts of EU regulation preventing the application of AI for surveillance/scoring/judgement of people. Remaining bulk of it is pointless bureaucratic nonsense... not that it matters given EU is completely irrelevant in this space anyway.

There is at present no such thing as a self driving car. There are only cars that automate some aspects of driving with human supervision or where autonomous operation is managed by humans and limited to designated areas. Humans are still responsible for driving including the automated taxi companies who are very much getting dinged for the transgressions of their vehicles.

This is a huge overgeneralization. There are a whole lot of laws in a whole lot of jurisdictions and not a single level 5 self driving car on the face of the planet.

People are liable for their actions and their negligence. There is no reason for anyone to get a pass. AI changes nothing.

OpenAI is dead without getting the government to outlaw AI not controlled by large corporations.

Expert systems are basically just overgrown decision trees. They have no relationship to present day transformer architecture.

Earlier you responded "exactly" to my statement which included the fact enrichment caps are time limited under JCPOA to 2030. I presume the JCPOA would have been effective at enforcing agreed upon constraints and Iran would not violate it.

Again..
My personal belief after hearing a public statement made by someone on the Iranian side of the JCPOA they were always going for a nuke and JCPOA was seen as a vehicle to that end. It provided the Iranians with sanctions relief giving them money, time and space to pursue all of the necessary industrial process and delivery system productions to enable the regime to become a nuclear weapon state when ready to do so.

That would be this guy:

What else is new? All of us have been hearing this for north of three years now (more generally decades). Distinctly remember around the ChatGPT 4 release in 2023. There was even a conspiracy making rounds one of the GPT4 era whistleblowers had been assassinated some time later.

When we replay the sensational garbage with what is now considered by everyone as a toy crap model people will rightfully laugh in your face.... but but but today's models are different and not like yesterdays models and so you should really be afraid this time for real... This same grift has been running continuously for the last three years over and over and over again.

There is no credibility left and no reason to give a shit about evidence free opinions of those deliberately waging campaigns of emotional manipulation of the public in the pursuit of simple profit.

Wait I thought they were slowing down? Are they slowing down or is everything going to plaid now because RSI? I'm so confused. Perhaps only the American firms after having all agreed to "slow down" know about RSI... the rest of the world doesn't know about the one weird trick?

In control of what exactly? They asked the model to hack and it hacked. I hear these stories of people giving agents Internet access and letting them on production systems and shit and it goes and blows up their entire operation... I'm just bewildered and puzzled why anyone would ever even think about doing that in the first place. If the answer to "would you let a crazy person" is no... then sure as shit had better be the same of AI. The very notion of control of "AI" is silly and meaningless.

I'm more concerned with the greed and power seeking of those running the American AI firms than I am of inherent risks of technology. Any actual danger from AI is baked into the enabling knowledge and industrial base. It is irrelevant how responsible, well-intentioned or careful any one person or organization is. This notion if only you try really hard and be extra super careful then you can "control" it misses the point entirely.

If the 10%ers keep the hysteria going with the we're all doomed in 4 years time BS I suspect corporations are going to start being torched by the angry mobs they created in earnest. Can almost hear the chants now.... "Clippy will not replace us"

I'm sooo confused. Is Shaitan part of the current administration? Who is the pot here?

Before you said " this is not a good period in history for Americans to criticise the administrations of other nations for excessive lying" yet now you say "This is not a feeling I have about America in general - just about the current administration."

Maybe what was left of my mind has been completed rotted out by AI... I have no idea how to parse your words.

This is a non-sequitur.

We are? What are the other two?

I think Jake Sullivan gave Biden shit advice. Biden should have done way more providing military assistance to Ukraine to defend itself from Russian aggression, war crimes and genocide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

As for Trump's failure to support Ukraine it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why he keeps sending Kushner and Witkoff to Russia. Even his sons are smart enough to figure it out...

Don Jr
"Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets"

Eric Trump
"We have all the funding we need out of Russia"

All that matters is what's in it for them.

So much for reading comprehension. Your figures are under the heading:

"Combined confirmed and estimated deaths across US (18-23), Iranian military (1,800-7,650), Iranian and Israeli civilians, Lebanese civilians, Hezbollah fighters, and Gulf-state casualties. "

Are these 7 different countries part of Iran or are you changing the subject?

All of the estimates I've ever seen are on order of hundreds of thousands per year.

See pg.289

The problem with these characterizations is the proof is in the pudding. If it was all no process, ignoring collateral damage, indiscriminate application of munitions without verification there would be a heck of a lot more civilian causalities.

If this were the case where are the receipts? Trump TACOs out of most everything. After softening up the regimes forces and power projection capability Trump has been mostly focused on making stupid pointless deals and the far more fruitful campaign of economic dissolution of the regime and its terror proxies. Seems to be directly at odds with your violence premise.

I don't think there is substantive disagreement on the facts of what happened except language implying enrichment had ceased. The disagreement is a matter of interpretation of intent of the Iranian regime and whether or not JCPOA ultimately served to help or hurt regime efforts to become a nuclear weapons state.

After hearing statements from the horses mouth of Iran's intentions WRT JCPOA during the Obama era my position has changed. I believe JCPOA was seen by the Iranians as a vehicle for enabling them to become a nuclear weapons state and that's why they agreed to it.

Are you talking about the king firing the prime minister on Aug 15th 1953 as he was entitled under article 46 of their constitution or something else? The only person I know of perusing a coup at the time was Mosaddegh. He held an illegal sham referendum to install himself as dictator of Iran... from memory the result of the referendum was an impressive North Korea style 2 million for votes to 1200 against ...99.96% ... Got his ass fired, convicted and jailed for three years for that stunt (commuted by the king from death)
