I'm not sure that's appropriate even if it is the most common use ..

I think there's a difference between responsible and accountable. Accountable requires that you be held to account if things go pear shaped. Crowdstrike were responsible for their outage but I'm pretty sure their responsibility ended at at "here's a new patch to fix our fuck up". No one was charging or fining them for the outage or putting those responsible in prison. I think a toolmaker might be held accountable of their tool exploded when it wasn't supposed to and was killing people. For example the Ford Pinto. A car is a tool for getting people from one place to another, and the toolmaker was held accountable for their shit design. If you were operating the car out of spec or driving it into walls, then you as the operator would be held responsible and most likely accountable.

    Being a million monkeys or not, it is a tool. The relevant definition for tool is:

    something (such as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation

    That's not to say it's a good tool, or that it's a tool being used appropriately by many people. What even is appropriate use of AI?

    Accountability should be definitely be properly assigned to the user. I've heard of tradies blaming their tools for shitty work, but I've never heard of one actually holding their hammer accountable..

    This chucklehead is saying a 30b parameter model could copy itself onto an oven. Just how much memory does he think an oven has? A tv .. maybe, but given their price, highly doubtful. 32gb of ram currently costs about the same as a modern tv.

    The thought "don't these arseholes have more important things to be doing than tree removal" but quite frankly id rather 400 trees die than whatever other abominations they might come up with.

    Some pretty salient points from Malcolm Turnbull. Morrisons shit subramine deal is going to haunt us for decades to come.

    I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt that by patriotism he means a focus on serving our country rather than the nationalism it tends be associated with. I'm not a huge fan of Turnbull but he has always been pretty well spoken.

    I think his idea that the Liberal party are good economic managers died about 25 years ago with Howard. It could be argued they've always been shit at economics, just noone called them out on it in the old days. I agree that they should be pushing back to the centre of they want to deal with Hanson's racist arsehole party.
