They are still responsible. Legally, and more importantly morally, they are responsible. Whether or not they care has no bearing.

Whichever human ultimately stood up the initial bot and gave it the loose directions, that person is responsible for the actions taken by that bot and any other agents it may have interacted with. You cannot wash responsibility through N la

I didn't even notice that the cap was "shorted", instead I noticed that it had the shorter line (traditionally negative) labeled "+" but connected directly to GND!

The agent serves a principal , who in theory should have principles but based on early results that seems unlikely.

Twice now in this same story, different subthreads, I've seen AI dullards declaring that you, specifically, are holding it wrong. It's delightful, really.

I'm glad to realize we're in violent agreement, I thought you were implying cooling would be easy due to the vacuum!

I've seen this explanation multiple times through the years, but as I said it's entirely possible it was just a post-hoc thing somebody came up with. But as you said, it's fun to argue/think about, so here's some mo

And yet in computing, a 1kHz clock is still 1000 cycles per second, and 1 MFLOP is still 1,000,000 floating-point operations per second.

As I understand it (this may be apocryphal but I've seen it in multiple places) the print head on simple-minded output devices didn't move fast enough to get all the way back over to the left before it started to output the next c

Remember that back in the mists of time, computers used typewriter-esque machines for user interaction and text output. You had to send a CR followed by an LF to go to the next line on the physical device. Storing both characters in the fil

Yeah if you want to talk about sliding slowly into lunacy, it'd be a once-respected computer scientist who now haunts online discussions looking for anything which could be obliquely linked to one of his personal betes noires and flood

Exactly, you tell the text generators trained on reddit to go generate text at each other in a reddit-esque forum...

Sad, but also it's kind of amazing seeing the grandiose pretentions of the humans involved, and how clearly they imprint their personalities on the bots. Like seeing a bot named "Dominus" posting pitch-perfect hustle culture

Aren't there any pictures of the chaos? I just see smiling protesters posing with dildos and feds standing in a line.

You didn't use the word "almonds" in this post and for that I commend you.

"Yelling fire in a theater" was the reasoning used to shut down anti-war protesters 100 years ago and, IIRC, charge them with sedition. It's not a good example.

Can you stretch your imagination to a scenario in which a hostile administration, eager to shut down critical reporting, might declare that various outlets are engaging in fake news and must thus be shut down? Let's be glad a precedent

That actually looks really nice. I like my '22 Outback a lot except for the dastardly climate controls on that fucking touchscreen.
