A law requiring anyone doing work in or on AI be subject to strict liability. Very strict. And that companies in that business name and publish a governing panel to internally regulate their AI work. And be subject to the aforementioned strict liability. Up to and including prison time. And no discharging liability through bankruptcy*.

The government can't regulate something that it does not understand. And maybe private enterprise doesn't either. But they need to shoulder the risk. This could be something like a mesothelioma trust fund, but set up before people start coofing.

*Hey. If it's good enough for student loans ...

Not really a great place to live. It being the final resting place for some of the targets from the Bikini Atoll tests. Also, the recovered remains of K-129 that we claim not to have are buried on one of the S.F. Bay Islands. Maybe this one.

Woah, woah, woah. Stop for a minute.

What did you just imply? An agenda? What fucking agenda? It has one? What exactly is it? Because The It on the feng-show room floor doesn’t just pull that shit out of thin air. Someone gave it that mission.**

And if it does, then consider Skynet already in operation. Because humans will be considered far too stupid, gullible, and ultimately pointless to AGI unless we’re needed as a power source. Just as a human would find little to no value in a retarded Tasmanian devil with three legs.

** - The Three Laws are eighty years old. Think we’ll be smart enough to remember to fucking use them, or are we already proving my point with AGI building the Soylent Green power plant first..

(California-sponsored Greed) ”The maximum credible tsunami here would not even overtake the seawall.”

California is the third largest state in the nation. 160,000 square miles and local leaders still chose to store nuclear waste within the hazard risk of a tsunami in a border state known for participating in annual El Slammo weather seasons.

A seawall, should have been the last choice of protection. Because that storage solution should have been nowhere near a corrosive environment like that.

How can you state that? I'm assuming you're a Rust proponent from that wild statement, which goes to show you how little you know about the topic.

Yes, memory leaks can and do happen in Rust. Rust is not perfect. Neither are the people who write it.

Most Rust code is written by its proponents' AI models, anyway.

This is an engineering maxim as old as time.

If your response to theoretically old, brittle, and "wrong language" code is "rewrite it in something better", you don't understand the problem.

There has never in the history of software development been an effort to rewrite a platform in another language which wasn't subsequently plagued by all manners of new and interesting problems.

In a best case scenario, the product has an exhaustive regression testing framework, complete unit tests for every function, e2e testing, and reintegrative CI/CD. But that is rarely true for any project, and certainly isn't true for old ones which predate such practices.

You make an important point: the biggest positive contribution to making old tools better without introducing more brittle behavior is with coverage from test suites, and improved code coverage.

We choose to do AI in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they look easy.

This IS the Rust community you're talking about, after all.

While Rust is a fine language, the community tends to be a bit fanatical and irrational. Pair that with a generally shallow technical aptitude depth and a lack of experience, and vibe coding, and therein lies the problem. There seems to be a high intersection between them and the systemd, so that's not a surprise.

And that's without getting into questionable mental health practices that are common in that community.

All I need is support for Mojibake.

No, Linux succeeded because BSD was held up in court. Users overwhelmingly wanted *nix on commodity PC hardware.

And you are seeing a similar disregard for the license here. Demonstrating the viability of Rust being more important than the GPL.

My point is that if we have human writers and directors providing the creativity, and the AIs providing implementations, could it be art? I think that is the core of what we have to figure out.

I am arguing in good faith here. And I am arguing about what I've seen from the inside.

Reports of police misconduct are newsworthy. Reports of police doing the correct thing are not. The "news" does not portray an accurate picture. Neither for the police nor the people of underserved communities. They don/t really talk about the members of either group doing the right thing.

Pick a topic where you are truly an expert. A day job, a hobby, something you know from sources other than the media. Now consider how badly the media portrays those. They portray everything just as badly.

You are starting to understand. The officer wants to get the whole story from the followers side. The more he talks the better. If you start off with the serious issue that is your central concern that could spook him into silence. So start with the harmless stuff that will not tip him off.

Its a public safety concern, its why the officer wants to hear the followers side of the story from the beginning.

And the officer is certainly aware of the wave of attacks on flock equipment. Hence concern over a flock employee being followed.

Separating people about to fight is also a standard technique. Preventing the violence from breaking out. But truthfully, 15 minutes of getting the guy talking to describe the events so far is not really much.

Nope, you are still mistaken. "Candidates" represent the political parties.

They were offered the same as Kimmel, non-broadcast venues where FCC fairness rules would not apply. Venues were Kimmel could be as partisan as he wanted to be.

If you're referring to the OpenAI hack of Hugging face, watch this video from Dave's Garage about the details behind how and why it happened. It's really much more interesting than what's been covered by the news.
