Maybe rare or unique things shouldn't be destroyed just to feed the Machine.

Amodei said. "I think that ordinary people don't trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over."

Companies, governments, and the tech industry have continuously cooked up ways to screw us over. Why would anyone suspect them of anything else when ALL of the evidence is to the contrary? When you do nothing but lie, cheat, and steal, then no one has any reason to trust anything that comes out of your mouth.

I know reading comprehension is hard, but even the summary has specific examples of police creating a policy to hide their use of Flock cameras. We're not talking about Flock being honest to the public. We're talking about police behavior.

Deliberately obfuscating or misleading the public about the mass surveillance abuse is sure to go a long way towards rebuilding all that public trust lost from all those police shootings.

They don't justify it. They just move the goalposts. "Oh the world didn't end this year? I mean next year obviously."

Home users aren't going to move the needle. Corporate users need to switch and it's not going to be to Linux when the vast majority of business software is made for Windows.

I think the real problem here is that Rockstar doesn't seem to know what the term "physical version" means.

Good points, but to be fair, ultrasonic is currently used to break up kidney stones because it is safe to use it to do so.

Plenty of trucks and other vehicles have little or any effective view directly out the back. To be blunt: If you need to look through your rear-view mirror to not kill someone, you either need better side mirrors or you need to learn to drive.

They bought a 10PB thumb drive from Aliexpress for $16.

The good news is, because of this it'll probably go very badly for Trump at the midterms.

He's already laying the groundwork to invalidate or take over control of the midterms to ensure that your vote only counts if it's for his toadies.

Get clowns.

LOL, no you don't. Demonstrably so.

It hasn't been "autocomplete" in a long time. Sure, there's a training step based on a corpus of Human language, and the autoregressive process outputs a single token at a time, but reinforcement learning trains specific behaviors beyond merely completing a sentence.

Besides, the best way to write something indistinguishable from what a Human might write is to, well, "think" like a Human.
