FINE! I'll start MY OWN timezone . With BLACKJACK and HOOKERS!

Good thing they don't do anything complicated up there like scheduling trains. Or airplanes.

Correction: According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danya_Ruttenberg Ruttenberg is no longer affiliated with the Conservative movement, and it seems she does not have a specific movement she is connected to right now.

Danya Ruttenberg, a prominent Conservative Rabbi wrote a detailed piece arguing that Jews should ask for exemptions from using AI https://www.lifeisasacredtext.com/the-jewish-case-for-ai-work-exemptions/. I found both the halachic (Jewish law) reasoning and elements of how American secular law handles such exemptions to be unconvincing. (I've sent Rabbi Ruttenberg's piece to a bunch of people as one of the better arguments for a moral problem with using AI in general, even as I find it unconvincing.) But it is notable there's a trend here. It will be interesting to see if any Christian clergy try to make a similar argument.

Probably true, but disappointing. Using AI, relying on it, and being required to use it are different things and I fear we're moving toward the latter two. Having to get an religious exemption to be allowed to avoid being forced to use AI at work seems like a bad thing.

It's worth remembering that AIs are largely trained using data/information generated by people; it we become, to put it simply, idiots ... well, GIGO.

Or, at the very least, do some work yourself to see what is valid and worthwhile, don't just blindly push things off onto someone else.

Or Sports Illustrated, or Système International (SI units) ...

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV"

I've said and explained it before, we're headed for "LI - Ludicrous Intelligence" and, perhaps, beyond. :-)

(Artificial, Super, Super Duper, Hyper, Ridiculous, Ludicrous ... Plaid)

I'm not sure using "super" will be more soothing in that regard. And this is a Trump thing. (a) He really likes (re)branding things - and coercing others to follow along - especially on a whim, and (b) it probably seems super given his mental decline. I'm betting everyone will be back to just using artificial in, at most, 2 years...

I think it's more the "artificial" vs "super" part that's worth discussion. In this context, artificial is a better fit overall. Trump is only pushing super because (a) he really likes branding thing himself and (b) at this point it seems super to Mr. "I keep Being Asked to Take Cognitive Tests and Think They're IQ Tests" -- boasting, "Person, Woman, Man, Camera", and “They have a picture and it says 'what's that?' and it's an elephant.”

I'm betting this will go away in, at most, 2 years and we/they will all be back to calling it "Artificial".

Which one 1-12, Centurion, or Raider? :-)

As the price of DRAM, SSD storage, electric power, and data center real estate rise, what prevents LLM service providers from suddenly raising their rates such that it's no longer less expensive than hiring a human? Compare what happened when Broadcom jacked up the price of VMware.

And what prevents programmers whose copyrighted programs have been included in the LLMs' training set from suing LLM service providers for copyright infringement on grounds that the output of the LLM is substantially similar to their programs, and the LLM is not following the license? I remember that demonstration where an LLM had effectively memorized the reciprocal square root routine from the GPL source code of Quake III Arena and failed to include the "appropriate copyright notice" mandated by the GNU GPL. Even permissive licenses, such as Apache 2, MIT, 3BSD, and zlib, require preservation of the copyright notice in derivative works. Doe v. GitHub, pending in the Northern District of California.

In Slashdot's home country, both copyright and radio transmission are regulated at the federal level. So what's the plan for to peterww and tepples to start to change the laissez-mourir policies popular among conservative members of the U.S. Congress? See "antisocialist", "extreme capitalism", and "laissez-mourir" in RMS's glossary.

I wouldn't be so sure of that momentum. Several countries in the European Union have implemented age gating through an application that runs only on an iPhone or a certified Android phone. An iPhone runs proprietary iOS, published by foreign monopolist Apple Inc. A certified Android phone runs proprietary Google Play Services, published by foreign monopolist Google LLC. The EU talks out both sides, regulating foreign "gatekeepers" on one side (the Digital Markets Act and provisions of Digital Services Act that apply to very large online platforms) and requiring use of services provided by said "gatekeepers" (provisions of Digital Services Act that apply to "protection" of minors).

What ID do Brits use if they use public transport instead of a motor vehicle?

Last I checked a few years ago, the United Kingdom offered no domestic non-driver ID. It offers only a driving licence, which requires access to a motor vehicle and probably paying someone to let the learner practice driving in their vehicle for some number of hours, or a passport, which is valid for international travel but expensive. If this has changed, let me know.
