I don't know mate, I wouldn't replace my electric tools–drills, grinders, saw... with gas ones. But these outdoors tools are a different kind of beast. I've only used an electric chainsaw and it was an absolute crap, maybe there are better ones but it was crappier than the smallest and shittiest gas chainsaws I've used, and a cord around you in that setting isn't great either.

I would very much prefer something clicks in their heads so they can see how horrible their acts are, then find an honest way of living and maybe even try and amend some of the harm they've done to humanity and the world.

Oh! And you can also add cops, that would be the population of Illinois, for a total of ~42.5 mill or the equivalent of the population of California and Utah combined.

Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no

I would guess it's the warmest at first and then it gets cooler overtime.

Why is this or should be a crime? You wouldn't call an Elvis impersonator a criminal, why is it different when it comes from a piece of technology?
I get why his daughter finds it creepy, but I just listened to it and I liked it, they don't seem to be trying to fool anyone and make very clear it's an ai impersonation. I see it more like a kind of homage or something, it's not like they're putting his face on an ad. I don't think you should need permission from the dead person's family for this kind of things.

We need but not for this, I would prefer restricting governments and corporations from using it to spy on people.

But it's the governments the ones using AI for the most evil things. Impersonating a dead comedian is a pretty benign use in my opinion.

I agree this is propaganda but it can also be true, in fact there are many other sources telling more or less the same worldwide.

A lot of propaganda is true, just half the truth, telling the good things of this side and bad things of the other. I would say there's no news just propaganda, everyone putting out a piece of information (be it state or private owned media, independent sources, a blog, a post or a stream on social media...) does it with the intention of getting people to think a certain way.

Not an ancap at all. I would argue the judicial system, police, and military are already in the hands of the wealthy, so aren't they kinda private?

I'm using the Kbin pwa on an iPhone and it works much better than I expected it to, I don't know they must have better support now. I think the functionality should be more than enough for many companies and much cheaper than a custom native app

I'm right now browsing the fediverse and writing this from the Kbin pwa. It seems to work quite well, with some quirks that I guess could be polished, but overall better experience than most installed apps that should be a website instead
