We think AI is intelligent because it appears to communicate. Bees communicate.

AI is about as dumb (not smart) as bees. They can communicate but they do not understand what they are saying. They have a massive hive to repeatedly do dumb tasks till they give you what you asked for. But you asking is what triggered the action. Your question is the only intelligence involved, what they did was the dumb busy bee work.

LLM are not intelligent, they are artificially stupid.

It sounds as if he was referred to the bar association evaluation committee. IIUC those are he folks that can do the disbarment. A court can only say "you can't be a lawyer before us anymore", but he'd still be fine in a different court.

No. Not "is generally", but rather "must be". If the software can decide to ignore it, it's not a kill switch. (OTOH, computers today don't tend to come with kill switches. Those would prevent remote wake-up commands from working.)

How long ago did this happen? The summary didn't list the date of the submission of the "testimony", but thing like this tend to take time to process, so I'm guessing that it happened well over a year ago. This make his claimed "honest mistake" due to ignorance believable. But it also negates your point.

That said, they won't be able to stop hallucinations without breaking the AI models. That's a mistake that people make all the time. What they need to do is prioritize having the AI determine how certain it's statements are, and including that in the statement...but people won't like that kind of answer.

It's an Astroturf campaign designed to benefit fossil fuel companies. The same companies that donated heavily to Trump's last Presidential campaign.

"You all are wealthy enough, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House," -- Trump to oil companies.

Note that the CAISO data does not show solar generation happening behind the meter -- rooftop solar. It only shows the net flows of electricity by a property with solar and other sources (battery).

It's really the same problem that we see with quantum physics -- the subject matter is esoteric enough that common sense can't be used to determine whether what you're listening to is really advanced theory or utter BS (or some combination of the two); they both sound the same, and the situation isn't helped by the presence of large numbers of people who think they know what they are talking about but don't. :/

First, It is up to the defense to pursue an argument. He is claiming no loss = no harm. He did NOT claim Caveat Emptor.

Second, Caveat Emptor only applies if no false statements were made. When you buy a car 'as is', and it does not start. That is your fault for not checking it. Similarly when you buy a mutual fund and do not bother to check that there is a 10% fee, you still have to pay the fee.

He sold a mutual fund, so the money has to go into the fund except for fees. He cannot take the money out of the fund and buy ANYTHING with that, that is fraud.

There is no law that lets a person lie in business. You cannot sell rat meat as steak, cannot sell a sled as a truck, and cannot take money from a mutual fund to contribute to a political campaign or buy real estate.

However, a bunch of billionaires think they can do anything with money they control, which is not true. That would be a crime.

Is there some reason they a) Picked male over female fly brains, and b) mentioned it?

Just seemed weird tome.

Or this is just PR, they all call for a slowdown which makes them the "good guys". Alas, China is not slowing down so we can't slow down either because, you know, nationalism. Therefore we never slow down but the billionaire AI guys argue its not their fault.

If I tell you I am going to invest your money in the stock market but instead go to Vegas and put it all on red, that is fraud. I owe penalties even if Red came up, I doubled the money and I paid you back plus 15%.

You do not get to claim "No one lost money", because otherwise, lots of people will do exactly what I just said.

I get to decide how to risk my money, not the lying shmuck that takes it.

OTOH, this sounds like one of the reasons I prefer debs from the standard repository over things hosted on other sites. Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's safer than lots of project specific repositories. (And it's one of the reasons I try to avoid Javascript, Go, and Rust.)

You're assuming they can't connect to a nearby open wifi net. Some reports have them doing that, though I don't know how valid those reports were.

It is not what we think you are going to do with the information.

Instead, we do NOT trust you. Not with the data, not with telling us which data you will keep, not with a microphone at all.

We do not want a microphone or a camera attached to anything that connects to the internet unless we need such devices for features we consider essential.

And the words "TV on" are not essential. The 'clicker' as grandma called it, works BETTER than your claimed feature.
