Dude. Give it up. The money was stolen and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it (FSLIC anyone?). Stop whining and start stealing. Everyone else is.

I used to believe like you do and I still behave that way; however, is 'ethics' really a thing anymore? All day, every day, I see unethical actions that nobody addresses. Look at how Bin Laden was captured. Nary a peep out of anyone. Look at how Supreme Court justices are somehow fortunate enough to be able to have 'friends' who gift them things a common person could only dream of. I will not even mention 'he who should not be named'. Congress is a mess of unethical actions that they can not even be investigated for anymore. ABSCAM anyone? What about the straight up looting of the Social Security fund. Yeah, yeah, I know, it is all safe in government bonds... and yet somehow or another, even just 10 years after the law passed that allowed it, there were cries about how the Social Security fund would be insolvent. When that law was passed, the Social Security fund had 300 billion dollars in excess funds. Once that money became part of the General Fund (through Bonds), it all evaporated.

No, there is nothing ethical about this world. I feel like a sucker for trying to be ethical within it.

What does 'awake' mean in relation to a thermostat? It is clear what it means in relation to a human or animal, not so clear with plants or microorganisms, but an inanimate object?

Only if he does not pay enough money to the right people. He is stupid, so he may make that mistake; however, it is perfectly clear that if you give the right amount of money to the right amount of people, you can do whatever you want without concern.

Good point. We have absolutely no history of having sailors constantly painting those steel structures to keep them protected from the harsh environment. No sir. All of those steel structures are protected once and then forgotten about. No need for constant maintenance.

(WTF)

I am not entirely certain that this claim is true. It is clearly true in the case that you are looking for content that you are not familiar with by 'people' that you are not familiar with, and yet, somehow or another, I do not see any AI content on YouTube. Occasionally, I will see suggestions on the sidebar that are pretty clearly AI generated, but again, I do not watch them. It took clicking on only 1 to recognize all of them. Humans and human generated content have a uniqueness to them that AI content can not imitate.

Oh, there is one AI generated video that I watch from time to time. It is based on the song War Pigs by Black Sabbath. I think it was created by someone named Gabrielle Marie. Fantastic visualizations. Really moody and artistic.

Words and consciousness have no relationship. Words are 2 dimensional while consciousness is 3 dimensional. Ever woke up from a dream and try to explain to someone else what happened in your dream? As you try to explain it, the dream recedes and your explanation becomes nonsensical. That is because words are 2 dimensional while the dream is your full consciousness expressing itself.

Long story short, Hinton had nothing useful to say to back up your claim.

The only method of having the same power throughout the entire charge is to limit the amount of power output when the battery is full. With gasoline, I get the same power output regardless of how much is left in the tank until the tank is entirely empty.

That being said, if I had a garage, I would likely own at least one electric car. I do own plenty of other electric vehicles that I can store and charge inside.

A VERY insightful choice. I suspect he is too dumb to understand it, even if his brain wasn't addled by old age.

Only humans can play that game. Code from AI is not copyrightable.

It is different because of "who" is writing the code. If I do it, I can claim copyright. If an AI does it, it can not claim copyright.

The laws will change to allow this; but, currently, AI work can not be copyrighted.

I do not see how they are extracting anything unless they are also lying about the code being generated from an AI.

Code generated by an AI can not be copyrighted. Richard Stallman's dream; however, Malus absolutely WILL lie about the source code so they can retain copyright. The crimes almost write themselves at this point.

No. It is not. Once an apartment building is built, there is no further maintenance or upgrades. An apartment complex was just completed near to me. It has exactly zero charging available. These buildings typically last 50 years or more.

Long story short, unless you live in a house, an electric vehicle is going to be an albatross on your neck for your lifetime.

LOL. They will never do that. They will just bring in more laws and tariffs to protect their business interests. Same old song and dance. There will be no further innovation, there will only be consolidation of power.

That is not true when your goal is to sell sell sell. I mean, it is true for people who pay attention, but, the typical member of the population is high on carbohydrates and sugars and can't be bothered to examine reality.
