Sounds like a pathway to security vulnerabilities. Instead of just code you could now also physically alter a circuit to change it's behaviour.

It is insane that simply by being a big company you automatically get the benefit of the doubt from the police and that it becomes a matter for the courts while everyone is free.

Stealing $200,000 as an individual would get you in serious shit, locked up before trial, and ruin the rest off your life financially, but doing it as a company at worst gets you bad publicity apparently and if it ever goes to court, there is a presumption that everyone involved is respectable and meant no harm - it was all just poor decision making but no malice.

I hope nobody who hears this story shops in any of those franchises and I hope the story travels far and wide. The CEO's behavior on camera was very informative about the intentions behind the act.

The most infuriating thing is that they could walk away from the stock and be materially no worse off. Its not like they go 200,000 into debt, but for the person it belongs to, it is devastating.

I think AI will do the opposite. It will make us dumber and use our brains less at least in the short term.

When you can ask AI to do something for you, you rarely choose the hard road to do it yourself or get it to teach you to do it yourself.

My golden rule in life - humans are fundamentally lazy. Or maybe lazy is not the right word, but people take the easy road over the hard road every time. Anywhere there is a paved long way around or a little cut through the trees, you'll see a beaten path through the trees.

There are of course exceptions to this rule like all rules, but if there is an easy path (AI does it for you) most people will take it over the harder path (AI teaches you).

I know this might not be what was meant by enlightened here, but this is my interpretation of what general AI use will mean.

Yeah the logic always stuns me.

"If I vote for a Democrat they'll probably take some of my money through taxes and I'll be poor"

Trump wins and ruins their business, they lose all of their money.

"At least I'm not poor because of evil Democrat taxes"

They have truly been brainwashed. Whatever bad shit republicans do they still believe the Democrats must be worse, because the republicans told them so. Even though the republicans have provably been lying to them for years.

Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn't. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn't ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they're are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.

"Baby rescued from apartment after single-mother tragically died days earlier"

Didn't think it was that difficult

Apparently it only counts if you hurt people physically. Hurting their finances, support systems, healthcare, employment prospects are all fine.

You have options.

"I SAVED YOUR LIFE !"

"You ruined my death"

Incredible

Why is it OK for an American company to headquarter in one state then cherry pick another in which to file a lawsuit? Surely a company should be governed by the laws of the state in which they are based. It seems weird to choose the set of laws you want to be judged by when the defendant cannot do the same.

1: "... and then we'll be able to stop terrorist attacks. Simple".

2: “ok but if you put a back door into encryption, won't others be able to find it?"

1: "no we'll be the only ones with the key. Great huh?“

2: "and you don't think the key will be leaked or be hacked?"

1: "I said we'll be the only ones with the key."

2: "so what's your plan to make sure the key stays secure"

1: "..."

2: "what's your contingency plan if the key *is * hacked or leaked?"

1:"..."

1: "I SAID WE'LL BE THE ONLY ONES WITH THE KEY. "

2: "..."

1: "don't you want to protect our children ??"

My gut tells me they are not deleted but rather simply no longer publicly available. Can't have these pesky AI bots training for free.
