Just continuing the car example, because you actually do need to know enough about it to operate it and get your license. There’s no license, no insurance for using AI. Driving can be deadly, and when you do it on a public roadway there are

It’s definitely on the high friction side of the usability/security tradeoff, I just think auto modes like this are as liability-inducing as handing a script kiddie intern full admin on your production environment The real answer is so

They’d do better with a bribe, Texas runs on corruption. I’m sure the campaign contribution checks are already written though

Incredibly naive, AI is not magic and it won’t always do what you want or expect. Not sure how you’ve determined that I’m gate keeping when I’m simply warning that tech illiteracy can get you in trouble if you start giving mystery black box

Are you jacking into your car’s OBD port and messing with the engine timing? There’s a difference between using a known tool in a controlled way and giving the tool to a hallucinatory goblin (or overconfident intern) with the directive “do

When they were just doing their jobs without being assholes, killing Americans and violating civil rights, ICE had a legitimate purpose. There’s no redeeming them now. Obama deported more people than Trump while also passing DACA. There are

Yeah I don’t live in the places where that was/is happening. A small benefit of rural small town living. My rep and senator are both blue and acting it. The red line moves up the easier it is to do something about it.

My point is that saying “there is no unreasonable fine if it works” is naive absolutism. Even with proportional fines, does fining someone 99% of their income count as too high? If proportionality is irrelevant than there is no way to diffe

They’ve been quite effective in Ukraine’s counteroffensive probes against Russia. That’s how all those oil refineries keep catching fire. The balance is just continuing to shift away from overwhelming manpower being the deciding factor

Hopefully it’s just Crimea returning to Ukraine, but you’re probably right.

Yes it would be, but that hasn’t happened yet.

> It’s reasonable to assume that a bug was fixed when reported. You must not have reported many bugs then. If you don’t see release notes or confirmation from a trusted source, you should assume it’s still a problem. See Microsoft and th

Why would you not believe them? Our defense manufacturing base has withered just like all the other manufacturing sectors. They’re being used faster than they’re being made and no one really planned for this war. Same reason the Strategic P

That’s not treason, just bad governance. They do need accountability though

There they go making “Abolish ICE” sound reasonable again.

> The point of a fine is to change behavior. It's not outsize if it's enough to do that. This is definitely not true, or legal. Would a billion dollar fine for speeding change some behaviors? Yes. Is it completely out of propor

A product is just a software output packaged for sale. Most products these days are actually services, where delivery of the application is as important as its development. One man’s prototype is another man’s MVP. You can’t No True Scotsma

1. Distinction without a difference. Medical facilities and personnel marked with the Red Cross are afforded the same protections. 2. Fair enough. It’s still morally wrong to do so if it’s not solely being used as a military facility.

You can’t bomb hospitals. Period. DWB aren’t hospital admins or responsible for deciding who deserves treatment and who deserves to die. Netanyahu is a war criminal who will go down in history as a monster and a tyrant.

This is just inaccurate. There is absolutely transparency and accountability. They generally have public tax filings and a lot of effort goes into to vetting non-profit finances and spending. Leadership are bound by non-profit tax filing re

Not all NGOs. Some are actually mission focused and spend their money and effort on direct action instead of policy or advocacy. Do you really think the purpose of Doctors Without Borders is to push an agenda? No. They provide care to those
