Stupid stunts all around. The only way to deal with a tyrant is to stand up to a tyrant.

Let them take the licenses and keep broadcasting anyway. Film the boots kicking it in and tearing it down, make them do all the bad things they threaten. They need you to believe that resistance is futile, it is not. Their future is futile.

The irony of that speech coming from Anonymous Coward. It is to laugh. ROFL

Fuck you coward.

Spacetime is created through energy becoming matter. The Big Bang was "merely" energy becoming matter. As long as that continues, spacetime will continue "growing".

I want to know what caused energy to start becoming matter. Asking where the energy came from to begin with is like asking about where God came from.

The question is whether she is responsible or not.

Absolutely not. She *IS* responsible. She did kill the children. The only question is what does society need to do to protect itself from her. Clearly, she needs psychiatric supervision, not jail; however, elements of society feel the need for punishment because she killed children. Understandable, but ultimately a primitive view.

These companies that were hit should be bringing criminal charges against Anthropic.

They can't bring criminal charges as only the State can bring criminal charges. I have no idea why the State is not acting, but that is not up to the companies. The only thing the companies can do is sue.

(sometimes, the State will ask the victim if the victim wants to press charges, which is why there is any confusion at all about this)

The real issue is that humans will use AI in such a way that it kills all humans. AI itself is just a computer program and as such, can not directly affect the Real World without human help... such as giving it the authority to launch nuclear missiles whenever.

Bro, the word "woke" has been misused so badly that I feel an aversion to you using that word in relation to Star Trek.

To me, Star Trek removed all of the bullshit human reactions and worked directly with raw reality. An example: Two people kissed and it was a HUGE deal to a lot of people back then. Why? I was not sure as a child why. It was a boy and a girl kissing. Who cares? Wait what? The skin color of the woman mattered? Why? Why didn't the skin color of the man matter?

To me, it was just two people kissing. It was a complete non-issue for me. What really makes me cry is that I had thought we were done teaching bullshit to our kids... and yet here we are, 60 years later, with very large groups of people, still teaching hate and such to their kids. What the fuck happened?

No action will be taken against it anyways. WTF dude? You act like we have a government that has ANY concerns at all for its citizens. The only things that matter are money and power... and guess what? You don't have enough of either to matter to anyone who does.

Think about it for a second: The NSA knew this was happening. How could they not, since they monitor ALL data flows. They did nothing. There are numerous Attorneys General throughout the USA that could bring a lawsuit about this, but none have and none will.

Face it bro, all of your devices (car, phone, tv, wifi) are used to monitor you and it happens because those in authority want to monitor you. It will not stop. The war is over. The only war that mattered was in 1776 and Alexander Hamilton ensured we lost it in favor of centralized Executive Power.

Do something now or regret it for a long, long time.

Do what exactly? Voting, writing, speaking, all seem to have ZERO effect. I have nothing which motivates politicians nor other citizens. The only items that appear to change anything are money and already existing power. Since I was not born into power, I have none. Since I have no power, I have no significant amounts of money.

Pray tell, what can a citizen do to actually have any hope of stopping this wave of fascism? People at all levels of government appear to be fully captured. My current .sig seems to be exceedingly appropriate here.

The entire point of a free society is that we do not have to nor can we trust the police.

It's a good thing we don't live in a Free Society then isn't it? Otherwise, all of this shit would be illegal and the government wouldn't be doing it. "Constitution", "Free", "Rights", are all sooo last century. It's a good thing that the People are irrelevant; otherwise, they would be mighty pissed about what is going on.

It seems like a LOT of effort is being put into it.

Scanning for WiFi/devices seems almost beneficial to the user. It's like 'preloading connections' in case you want to display something.
Delaying the report until you're online also seems like a standard reliability feature. (ignoring the content for now.)
But other parts of the report, like "recording audio when you're playing through other devices" sounds completely illegal, and 'over the top.'

Are there a lot of EULAs that you have to click through to turn on your TV these days? Is there a shrink-wrap agreement on the box?

With books, like music, becoming more and more of a digital thing and no physical presence, the whole culture of reading is dying off. Teens aren't seeing other teens read (no books in hands), there's few bookstores around to hang out in to discover the books and with most information online there's no need to go to a physical library.

Schools can only do so much to force reading with assignments. Without building the habit of reading books for pleasure outside of school there's no way to turn this around.
