And for any given thing that meets the criteria for ‘handgun’, what percentage do you think has ever been used in any significant number of crimes or accidents? I’m guessing way less than 1%. Either by make/model, or by individual item

Because words have meaning, and ‘handgun’ can mean anything from a muzzle loading musket to a literal MAC-10 that can fire 1800 rounds per minute. And if you can’t understand or articulate what is going on, then good luck doing anything abo

In reference to the ‘no epidemic of Gatling gun crime’ comment, yes. What other epidemic of a specific type of gun crime is there, exactly? (And no, entire categories like ‘hand gun’ don’t count)

What does that have to do with anything that would plausibly be in the bill of rights?

We were talking specific models, yes?

The ‘right’ is a venn diagram, not a solid block. The NRA has a lot of overlap, but Reagan was never particularly pro-gun - he was literally a California Actor, and it was under him that most federal gun laws were passed. (1984 GCA being hu

There isn’t an epidemic of any other gun crime, by the numbers.

Most would be happy to allow them. Let god sort ‘em out, and all.

Eh, since it would most likely be used to remove some key right….

They mean ‘have you seen congress? Good luck’, not that the mechanism is mechanically harder to use.

The Gatling gun also predates any widespread gun control. Notably, the Gatling gun is still legal almost everywhere, including California (lulz!). If that is legal, what is the actual point of 99% if the rest of the bans, etc?

Half the people in Silicon Valley are immigrants - or more. Likely very relevant.

Yeah, my point is that there is a significant exposure they are required to have, if they need to be able to be audited and have to actually prove they are dealing with real people. At least - as you mention - until the rules catch up and t

Thanks for agreeing with me?

No shit Sherlock, of course I’ve seen it. It was my job. This is exhausting. It’s like arguing crypto with someone who has never actually committed a line of code. Why do I even bother?

If you need to prove you sold to real people, storing their credentials is a necessary thing, for as long as your need to prove that. At least with the way things currently are. How else do you expect it to work? ‘Honest, we checked’ chec

Not if there is no law about it. If there is a law about verifying buyers, how else are they going to pass that audit?

I literally just grabbed a random link. I’ve seen dozens of real life examples of poisoning. The poisoning issue makes it so that no one can use the internet for training anymore, because more and more internet content is poisoned as a side

That no one has actually solved the underlying problem at all, and the generation of the example LLM has no bearing on the nature of the fundamental problem.

While completely ignoring the fundamental reason. Whoosh.

But they don’t, generally. Which is why it is a great argument, because it’s easy to falsify - and see it is what is actually happening. Also, those other sources are getting buried in AI slop too.

I worked at FAANG. If anything, people are not nearly skeptical enough about how dumb it is with all this going on. People are (in this analogy) building sawdust farms there.

I’ve never seen an expert use AI in their field beyond the initial ‘oh interesting’ stage.

I don’t think they will improve, there is too much incentive to poison the datasets going forward. A lot of the models up to this point have been benefitted - like Google did - from essentially ‘pre SEO’ internet. Now the same tools are bei

There is also the ‘joke’ - What does Ford stand for? Fix Or Repair Daily. None of the US automakers have good quality reputations. If you want something that works reliably, get a Toyota.
