That depends.

If you are a regular pleb, yes. You would be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

If you are a billionaire running a "frontier lab", no. You will be afforded the ability to "self-regulate" and any incident like this will be met with a "gawrsh, you can't get progress nobody is asking for without some bad things happening, so suck it up petunia"

Please name a single lawmaker advocating for Sharia law at the federal level.

Please name a single lawmaker in a statewide office advocating for Sharia law, in any of the 50 states.

Link to a publicly available quote, from any source.

Your faux "patriotism" is manufactured racist bigoted fear, from your firehose of propaganda. There is absolutely no danger of "Sharia law" being instituted anywhere.

Stop letting the propagandists lead you around by the nose, selling you answers to non-existing problems. Verify these outlandish claims, because you sound like an absolute fucking idiot.

You are parroting the bigot bullshit from Republicans that are selling you a bullshit issue. This makes you at least a passive bigot hayseed easily bilked by sociopaths, if not actively a bigot. QED.

Nobody cares about this except bigots, culture war hayseeds easily bilked by Republican politicians, and actual trans athletes. So which are you?

That would require having functional gun control regulations. We don't get that kind of thing uniformly across the US.

Yes, I realize we're talking about a specific incident in Canada, but I'm not Canadian and don't presume to understand Canadian firearm laws; specifically where the intersection of firearms control and mental health in Canadian law.

How did you figure AI death machines come about?

It's all training data, and human anatomy and firearms training is part of that data set.

If that was to be the legal standard, we wouldn't have a software industry. It's a legal agreement that a user is voluntarily accepting in order to use the service. That's the rules of the road - if you don't like the agreement, don't use the service.

There is an interesting discussion to have here though - "mandatory reporters" disclose they are mandatory reporters before you get into a counseling session.

Is there any language in the Terms of Service / Terms of Use that declare that their service is a mandatory reporter? Was there any expectation of privacy here that was violated by not giving a chance for informed consent to have their private thoughts reported?

I'm not coming down on either side of this thing, because I definitely don't want police stations getting shot up by some crazed gun-toting whack-job, but mandatory reporters perform this disclosure for a reason.

You're the one measuring in cost per gigabyte, as if that's an option from literally anyone. I'm sorry if very real use cases aren't something you understand.

Also, what's to say Apple doesn't follow Microsoft into "we'll just reinstall it and re-enable it on every patch" land?

If I don't want it, I don't want it until I decide I do. They don't get to decide, because that just makes me choose upstream to use their bullshit at all.

I'm pretty sure he was putting "I'm forcing something you don't want down your throat" next to "I'm forcing something you don't want down your throat" but you do you.

Metaphors are a lost art to some.

When I'm sitting in a cramped airplane seat trying to get shit done, I super want to have three USB cables / devices plugged in on that tiny tray table. It's not annoying at all to have a rats nest of shit plugged into my sleek thin lightweight device to make it usable.

You know there is performance degredation using USB / Thunderbolt to that "more than one drive" ? And on machines that have shockingly few external ports, just how much shit are we supposed to plug in everywhere we want to work?

Slashdot apparently still doesn't support the proper unicode for "micro" so my post got butchered. Should be the abbreviation of microseconds.

Can I take that 15GB of Google Drive with me where I don't have a network connection?

Can I use that 15GB of Google Drive as lowest-latency disk for demanding things that require low latency? Nope - access time is measured in tens of ms in the best case, rather than orders of magnitude less (s) for local SSD.

Stop simping.

... a toggle to... ? what?

WE'LL NEVER KNOW!
