For decades now I would have whole-heartedly agreed with your scathing sarcasm. But today the clueless script kiddies are bolstered by AI. I think a bit of caution is laudable for a year or three until we get a handle on the wave of zero-days. Your point still stands; they did this because of the points you make; that doesn't invalidate the stated protectional purpose as well.
The latest Centauri Dreams essay is about applying the Fermi equation to an intergalactic, possibly whole universe context. The numbers are bleak. TL;DR is if we don't see them everywhere they aren't there at all. I don't buy it this time, but that site is a fascinating and educational read every time.
...The whole vaccine thing is basically dead at the left and right of the IQ bell curve; it's only the midwits who will line up to get injected with weird chemicals.
Citation? As in, bullshit.
You may get more confusion than conclusions. In high school I hypnotized a few friends (individually, not together), told them they could go out-of-body, and asked them to describe the house nextdoor, which was completely different from mine. They all got the floor plan right, but the interior decorating, furniture, people, and pets were all over the place.
Not remembering your dreams usually means you are low on zinc and/or b6, zinc being more likely. The usual supplement dose is 30mg. If you try it don't take it before bed; take it with breakfast or lunch. Also, don't expect anything for a week or more. It takes time to build up a proper serum level. It certainly increased my dream recall dramatically.
Five years from now people will be blindly trusting AI to write and debug by itself.
There hasn't been enough time since this was in the news (months ago) for it to be illegal yet. Where can I get some without going to china myself?
Programming languages will become paradigms and logical structures; methods for processing data in ways we can talk about. We no longer need high-level languages and compilers: AI will be writing what we ask it for in assembly.
When I find people who react to me pointing out that old people are terrible they are almost always the kind of people who are pretty fucking conservative and maybe you're willing to let the trans girls have their hormones as long as you don't have to look at them in public. Hell maybe you are begrudgingly willing to let them be out in public. Or maybe it's not trans people that pushes your buttons maybe it's something else. Maybe it's violent video games or maybe you're obsessed with getting lower taxes or maybe you want to make kids work harder for less or something. But there's some little bit of nastiness in your soul that you won't let go.
Damn, you're bitter. And fuck you for trying to stereotype me. You're WAY off in that entire paragraph. Asshole. I really hate swearing in posts, but you deserve that one.
Ideally this would keep bad cops off the streets. In the real world, said bad cop just gets a job being a cop somewhere else with a boss who is fully aware of their bad conduct and implicitly approves.
I agree with Patent Lover, but I'll also object to your ageist bigotry. I'm in my late 60s and I hate those cameras every bit as much as you do. Then you also out yourself as hating old people because you think we have all the stuff and money. Newsflash NOT from the media but from the real world: All the old people you see every day working retail jobs are not rich hoarders; they're poor and have to work despite being old. Go bitch at the ultra-rich. Old people deserve as much courtesy and respect as anybody else does.
I periodically go thru my network and enumerate every single device. Things like a picture frame do not get internet access. If a smart plug or light or other IoT device needs net, I won't buy it. My TVs don't get internet; they are either on a roku or a linux computer. Connected TVs send "home" screen shots. Roku can only scrape what I watch thru them, so no need to take a screen shot anyway. I had an amazon firetv cube with a third party network dongle to get better bandwidth than wifi. The dongle kept connecting to chinese IPs, even when the TV was off for days. That's when I started locking things down. That dongle went in the trash.
If only more people were so nerdily inclined, this would be less of a problem. I wish.
Part of a previous comment about Anthropic:
My point being that the Trumpets are playing a dirge for Anthropic and all of its top employees. They need to go elsewhere for their own good. The only way the company will survive is if they sell it to Musk, Bezos, or another billionaire kiss-ass, and even that is a crap shoot given how fickle this administration is.
Then sell it and take all the talent with you. Or scorch the earth and delete all of it, then rewrite it elsewhere, which would take time but could produce a better product.

Congratulations, your scathing reply missed the point.
Anthropic should just quietly go to another country and then announce their new headquarters.
