Drugs and booze are just as dangerous for adults as kids. We assume that for a subset of these, adults have the maturity and judgement to regulate their own use. Not always a valid assumption, but what else are we going to do? Go through another prohibition?
Pretty weak plot.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
I saw the story of that burglary on a program about bank jobs. The History Channel, I believe.
More devious plot: There was this bank robber who figured out a way to tunnel into the vault. Except that the bank had a very sensitive sound activated alarm. Tunneling noises and they've got you. So, he rented a safety deposit box. Where he placed an alarm clock. Couple of times a week, the banks alarm would go off. They'd open the vault and
Then, he tunneled in.
AI incorrectly raises the alarm about contraband shipment enough times and people will write it off as another hallucination bug. Once the trust in the system has dropped to zero, the contraband shipments may commence.
You don't think the IRGC have yachts?
Actually
This may turn out well. Rather than fearing for the survival of humanity, we can just sit back and watch the AIs try to kill each other.

So which feature do you think Microsoft is secretly withholding from Windows 12,
Windows 12 will run on a neural implant. It will have DMA use of your brain, as you will no longer need to use as much of it. Your thinking will be done by Coprolite.
But Rust is pretty good. It's tedious at hell to write anything safely, but you can do it
I thought the whole selling point of Rust was that it's damned nigh impossible to write something unsafely. Because if the option is to avoid some tedium, there are developers that will find that way. And then you may as well have gone with C.
Well now, Flock is back in my good graces. We've got to wipe all those Pee-Wee Hermans off the face of the planet.
A law requiring anyone doing work in or on AI be subject to strict liability. Very strict. And that companies in that business name and publish a governing panel to internally regulate their AI work. And be subject to the aforementioned strict liability. Up to and including prison time. And no discharging liability through bankruptcy*.
The government can't regulate something that it does not understand. And maybe private enterprise doesn't either. But they need to shoulder the risk. This could be something like a mesothelioma trust fund, but set up before people start coofing.
*Hey. If it's good enough for student loans
Treasure Island
Not really a great place to live. It being the final resting place for some of the targets from the Bikini Atoll tests. Also, the recovered remains of K-129 that we claim not to have are buried on one of the S.F. Bay Islands. Maybe this one.
We choose to do AI in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they look easy.
All I need is support for Mojibake.

I just hate it when Firefox trips my breaker trying to sort out Slashdot character encoding.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
