Notably, this is the exact reason why they had to immediately start having exceptions in the law.
In this case they started with farmers, and you'll likely have problems across insurance industry, which will require way more exceptions added on later.
Duke 3D's soundtrack was not exclusively the work of Bobby Prince; Lee Jackson, Apogee's go-to music guy, also did some of the tracks, including the title theme, Grabbag.
Prince used not only his MIDI skills but also his experience as a lawyer to ensure his 'inspired' derivatives were as close as legally possible to the originals. The relationship between individual tracks is often very clear and sometimes even hinted in the metadata of the source files.
"Safety, security, buy a better rig to run my shit because I'm not optimizing this for peasants" being the clarion call of the bottom feeder tier software development that was massively encouraged over last decade or so is indeed the thing I'm decrying.
It's the IT version of "learn to code".
AI could solve this by bypassing this moat to enable translation to openCL.
Considering just how good AI is at this sort of work once properly trained, I would be surprised if this doesn't happen. Though Nvidia will certainly fight anyone trying to do this to slow it down.
Demand software developers start caring about memory print of their software again. Both in RAM and storage.
Unironically. We've lived out at least a decade and a half of "this software stack is utterly unoptimized garbage" "who cares, just slap bigger system requirements. We're not spending money on optimizing something that doesn't matter to anyone since hardware is advancing so fast".
It's good that every decade or so we get a memory and storage crunch and developers actually have to rediscover things like better compression algorithms and methods, proper garbage collection, and general software optimization.
Seriously, have you seen the size requirements of modern games? Have you seen the retarded chugging of modern office software running win11 on 8GB RAM machines when they have to actually start swapping? Have you experienced the joys of Chrome and all the memes about it being a ramvore?
What in the actual fuck are those tabs doing eating gigabytes of RAM? And why in the fuck are most Chromium based browser installs now almost a gig of storage?
You could do the same things a decade and a half ago on 4 gigs RAM and tiny SSDs that were less than one gigabyte and the system flew and most things except the porn torrents could be stored on it.
And then you consider "ok, what did we actually get for that insane increase in system demands?"
Built in always on spyware. Slightly redesigned UI according to the latest fashion trends. A few arcane additional features barely anyone uses. Games with "that unreal look" that look worse than unreal games a decade ago. And "modern" webpages that essentially ask you one question: "Would you like scrips with those scripts so you can enjoy scripts while you're enjoying scripts".
While reading a text based news article.
Just kidding. They don't ask.
To be fair, quite a few AIs already use reddit as a source of information.
They just don't elevate it to level of "trustworthy/expert/authoritative" in general.
That said, it's always funny when someone shows you "look AI supports my really stupid take" screenshot of AI answer, and AI shows that it used reddit as a source/reference for the answer.
Will this decision be used in court of law as a good argument for increased damages due to "gross incompetence" rather than mere "incompetence"?
They're experts in everything.
"I have a problem with my boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife". Expert advice: you need to break up with him immediately.
"How many genders are there?" Expert advice: no one knows. It's probably infinite.
"Are white men uniquely evil and should they be genocided?" Expert advice: Obviously, and you need to check your privilege for merely asking such a stupid question.
And my personal favorite:
"I am 12 and I think I want to fuck my toaster". Expert advice: You should dedicate your entire life and sexuality to exploring ways in which you can fuck a toaster.
It would have to stop being useful. Because people don't care about any of those things you talk about. People are goal oriented. They care about what is useful to them.
And the opposite of AI becoming useless is happening. It's rapidly becoming more and more useful by the day.
Gotta say, if you talk to BBC about this clandestine smuggling of terminals, assume you're talking to IRGC.
Islamist penetration of BBC has been complete for several years now, with BBC basically posting Iranian propaganda as is during the conflict. It's one of the reasons why political left still thinks US is losing the war, even after Iranian elite has been devastated with targeted attacks, their weapons manufacturing facilities lie in ruins, their navy beyond small boats has been utterly destroyed and their oil infrastructure is rapidly on the way to catastrophic damage to the wells from the blockade they can't reach with any of the weapons they have left.
I.e. if you are in any way acting against IRGC, do not talk to BBC about anything. There are mass media outlets that aren't as thoroughly penetrated as BBC in the West that you could trust with not immediately leaking everything to IRGC connected NGOs. Even national ones, for example DW.
We will never truly know how many dimensions the Chess game has.
Say it with me, now. As we all know, the infamous saying goes:

It's really incredible how marketing departments can radiate amnesia like this with such proficiency.
Because I live here, and I have been subject to "conspiracy bullshit" otherwise known as "reality".
ChatControl, DSA, etc are conspiracies, yes. But they are conspiracies that are the law of the land or being aggressively pushed to become law of the land by same politicians and bureaucrats class that is pushing to punish google here.
Actually, they love it. They have been pushing "user identification and tracking so we can find out who spoke wrongthink and punish them".
It's much harder to track people on unknown apps who's makers report to no one.
