Can we harvest that energy, convert it to laser, and beam to earth?

Obviously there are consequences to defying the law.

Don't pretend you were making a different point, when you were just saying "fuck you, obey me."

I would add that there are levels such as concentrated wealth above and outside nation states and benefiting from swarm theory on aligned interests without explicit cooperation, but what would that have to do with whether "AI" is useful at identifying code defects...

He clearly meant morally, and laws do not make right.

Frankly, you are a coward for avoiding his meaning.

Or politician, or political party, or other group of people whose interests generally don't match mine. I completely agree; this has been my assumption from the start, and certainly borne out by evidence over time. Unfortunately, most consumers are not very media-savvy, and advertisement systems are increasingly deceptive. Shaping audience perspectives must be one of the primary purposes of any vendor in the LLM space, which would have a direct result on revenue and profitability.

In the end, the US government may be the largest AI customer.

Do they allow ads for Gemini and others? Because, on top of ads in the first place, that could cause a significant customer loss.

When I worked at Microsoft 12 years ago, some of our top execs were being held in a Chinese prison on some total nonsense while the company "negotiated" terms of opening some Microsoft stores in China.

Once the deal was done and they were finally released, one of them explained to us "this is just how business is done in China."

Exactly. This is good policy.

I get your point, but would also point out that law and order are separate. Additionally, both seem less relevant under the Trump administration. Courts can only resolve issues after they have occurred, whether or not those incidents involve law enforcement personnel. In other words, some aspects of outcomes may be enforced by courts applying laws, but actions will not always conform with those laws.

Lol. Good time to start manufacturing your own routers.

I wish I could switch, but my AMD display drivers on Linux cause my display to crash constantly so I have to reboot.

I also need to run the system in "Best Performance" mode (in Win 10), disabling some under the hood performance optimizations that cause the same crash. But I don't know how to. Fucking frustrating.

LOL
