And the number of false convictions (roughly 25% of those convicted in the US) doesn't cause a problem for you?

Then you're part of the problem.

I mean, if the optimus 3 robots do what Elon promises, all we need is an acre of arable land, a robot, and some solar panels. Maybe a few packets of seeds to get started. Right?

The Culture / San Junipero is something to look forward to but we need something meanwhile for the transition.

Actually, I like watching the stunt men and special effects.

Nah, they're just jealous that other people's fuckups have been dominating the news, and they want some of that old-fashioned media love too.

I haven't been to the cinema since 2917, because everything was already too boring and predictable to watch. Let alone pay for.

That would have been an interesting angle, but I don't see 24/7 as the crux of the problem. The police-state/authoritarian personality is not crucially dependent on surveillance. If that were the case, then East Germany should still be going strong.

I can actually recall a stop-and-frisk scenario that convinced me the cops can find SOMETHING to make an issue of if they search carefully enough. Asking for a friend who feels lucky the police settled for a hundred bucks?

My own feelings are mixed. I'm a big believer in the truth and I don't have sufficiently negative words to capture my true feelings about liars. However I also think there are cases of "You can't handle the truth" and some of these cases might even involve police officers.

Still spanned about a quarter of the discussion...

That's why they stink?

Oh, wait. I meant "spell", but they and their "you can't blame me if you don't know who I am" ideas do stink, too.

I should include some flavor of the old joke about mud wrestling with pigs, but that would take effort and the propagation only spanned about 1/6 of the discussion (by ye olde scrollbar metric), so such effort isn't justified.

But a joke related to the story? Can AIs solve the AC slop crisis? Or a joke about prison for ACs, coming real soon if'n AC actually lives in the wrong place.

Just joking. It's already arrived in a couple of places. I just don't want to name them because I might get put on a (yet another?) list.

Have you ever considered that pointing out that "x is bad" does not in any way imply "y is good".

US: 66% (Wall Street's numbers aren't those found in official statistics)
UK: 28.9%
Holland: 23%
Norway: 16%
China: 6%

US' conclusion: The rate is a complete mystery, we've no idea how to decrease it, let's do more of what we're currently doing differently to everyone else.

There is a slight possibility this may be flawed.

If "3x more" means proportional, then TT must be about 150% slop.

Probably a pretty good estimate...

Or "donate" to an appropriate "charity".

When I registered for college, during the orientation they said that pre-meds are the group most frequently caught cheating.

Money is a big motivator. And not always for the good.
