It is not an "official religion." It is *recognized* as a religion by the IRS, and receives the same egregiously advantageous financial benefits as other religions, but that doesn't really give it any more weight than Mormonism, Presbyterianism, Catholicism, etc. None of which (thus far) are "official" in this increasingly "best of all possible worlds" >-|
Isn't claiming that a magical computer program can find all bugs in another program effectively a variation on the halting problem?
I can understand all that, but it still doesn't say why acting deserves special treatment.
Coders enjoy coding. AI has taken a chunk out of that, and people treat it as beneficial. It's taken a lot of translators out of the picture. They enjoy what they do. It's taken a slice out of countless jobs that people enjoy doing, and there's been a bit of a murmur about job losses.
Then we get to acting, with a famous actor being deep faked into a movie with the consent of his estate, and everyone is up in arms because actor and celebrity.
The sad bit is yes, this obsoletes many aspects of human engagement, just as the industrial revolution rendered a lot of manual work. It will continue to do it. The question is how we as a species adapt to it, and utilise it to our benefit.
It's not just a child. It's a child plus a network of organised crime that specialises in tooling for illicit compromise, which said child has access to, plus contacts with compromise experience to learn from. This changes things significantly.
Cybersecurity is a hellishly expensive thing if done to the degree that's found in financials and the like (where a bad compromise could have serious international ramifications).
Most places don't have the budget to hire enough of the right staff to protect against a dedicated attacker with up to date compromise tools. It only takes one flaw for things to start going very wrong indeed.
It's a case of "Taking security as seriously as you can afford to" as an operational expense, and keep insurance up to date for if you're ever compromised.
Surely if the CEO can't be bothered to show up for meetings then he ought not be paid so much?
So why do they all look like humans with big fucked-up heads?
This was addressed in TNG: deliberate panspermia.
People who quote that quip aren't being half as clever as they think, since it rather depends on the distribution. A normally distributed "intelligence" with a very small standard deviation would not be much of an issue
That's a horrible idea because someone could simply build a bigger cluster, or record and save communications until they can get some better hardware in a few months.
How about Forbes? Is that sufficiently billionaire boot-licking for you?

To clarify that'd be strict and enforced privacy regulations with teeth, not a central clearinghouse.
That is what a properly functioning government is for
Yep, there's a very good reason that engineers poke and prod at things for years before marking something as safe for a life critical area.
Did you bother to read any of the articles or their sources, or search the internet?
The fact that people have not learned the term (yet) is irrelevant. People can learn all kinds of new terms like "AI slop", "riz", etc.
But since you clearly are a leading researcher in the field of nutrition, perhaps you can point us to the papers that support your view of what the problem is? It is not my field, but from what I have read it is not so simplistic as you make it.
As I understand it, the issue "with just a salt", fat, sugar, etc. Is not in the individual components themselves, but in how they are used to make hyper-palatable foods that hijack you're brain's perceptions of nutritional value and satiation. Similarly, ultra-processed foods (which goes far beyond traditional bread or chopped meat) are the constructions of "food products" from industrial ingredients e.g; soylent, huel, Magic Spoon, "Wonderbread"... These foods seem to have little substance to them e.g; fiber or other difficult-to-digest/indigestible components; making them too easy/rapid to digest. This in turn seems to make them less filling, while also altering our microbiome (which do much of our digestion, moderates our appetite and makes vital nutrients).
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it is too dark to read.
