Banks are supposed to lend money. I just saved them the paperwork.

Of course, AI also sometimes ignores instructions. Like when an AI decided to delete a production database in spite of being told not to touch production.

The AI in the robot, of course. Because some fool granted agency to an AI.

Of course it's extreme. So is committing a crime to sign up for classes at the gym. So is starting a smear campaign to get sloppy patches into an open source project or attempting to fool a judge with fake case law. But those have all happened.

That's EXACTLY why I maintain that AI should NEVER be given agency. Don't allow it to commit code, don't allow it to interact with anyone but the user. For God's sake, don't put it in a robot.

It did hack the Gym's registration system. Perhaps not the deepest or most impressive hack, but it did circumvent the business rules in place. Surely you don't claim that letting random people on the web bounce people off of a waiting list was the intended functioning of the Gym's registration system!?!?

I maintain that the article was NOT overhyped or clickbait. I say that because apparently most people don't realize that an AI agent might randomly decide to break the law as a shortcut when you tell it to do something. They probably think nobody would be incredibly stupid enough to unleash that on an unsuspecting public (they're wrong, of course).

Remember in the X-Files when Mulder spent 24 hours trying and failing to draft an airtight wish for the genie, then ultimately decided it just wasn't feasible? That's apparently required to use an AI with agency safely. Sounds like a bad idea.

It's just ET trying to phone home. Probably dialed the wrong number.

You should look up the UK's Angle Grinder Man, hero to everyone unjustly clamped.

Compiz was GREAT even if you ignored literally all of the visual effect "slop" as you call it. It's got a great set of tools for controlling windows, including window rules which are very powerful. If you don't know about those other tools then you should perhaps have spent more time in ccsm back when it was relevant.

Unfortunately, as you say it is for X11 only (although for me that is not a drawback because Wayland is still bad, especially if you have Nvidia and I do) and more importantly it is not well-maintained software and it's therefore flaky AF, so it's not relevant now.

If you have a decent CPU it might run on that at half speed or so.

"This wasn't a hack. This was the AI doing *exactly* what it was told to do."

He didn't hack the AI. The AI hacked the booking website. Hacking means making hardware or software do something it wasn't designed to do. It doesn't mean it's hard.

While all that is true, the USA has been doing exactly the same thing, so just go ahead and mention that to maintain perspective.

Treason isn't defined by morality, but by giving aid or comfort to the enemy.

We'd have to define one of these dictatorships that Trump is always jerking off as an enemy and not merely an adversary to make it big-"T"-Treason.

Congress lacks any semblance of a spine so that's not happening.

Lolol some armchair warrior hates facts.

I get trained on HIPAA every year...

Heat pumps do not use any water at all; they use refrigerant. Similarly, immersion cooling uses oil or some other non-water coolant. Of the three things I listed, only one (closed-loop water cooling) uses water at all, and not on an ongoing basis unless you have a leak.

Water in a sealed pipe most certainly does not evaporate, as there is no air for it to evaporate into. Other than leaks, you would not expect losses of water.

But what are they? Are they reasonable? Will they be able to weasel out trivially?
