> Why are ostensibly religious people interested in replacing humans? I’m not sure what you mean here. As far as I’m aware, “preventing humans being replaced with technology” is not a component of many religions.

I know Unity game engine uses some transpiler called IL2CPP that manages to preserve some of the safety features of C# but still gets the speed of CPP, so one direction is definitely possible

>because unsafety can be inherent in the design I agree in principle, and I have strong feelings based on my experience that this is the case, but I think it would be illustrative to have some hard examples in mind. Does anyone know any

My understanding is that formal verification is a tough goal to achieve and that it usually requires designing the program or the language to be a specific way. The problem with transpiling C to rust is that unsafe and unverified behavior c

Things like soft drink taxes already begin to do that.

I wouldn’t say it’s instant. These kinds of models have been out for at least 6 years (depending on if you think BERT, or GPT-2, or whatever is the first). Their capabilities and short comings, at least in a general sense, are pretty well k

This makes sense, and I actually believe that it isn’t a search. It is definitely a _seizure_ though and I do wonder how often these two things are distinguished in law. How often do the police raid a place and confiscate filing cabinets bu
