At least the outcome is favourable to the customer who was misled, and since Canada is a Common Law country, this ruling will establish a precedent for future corporate negligence with their chatbots in Canada.

If a human employee makes mistakes, the company will claim responsibility and in turn reprimand the human employee instead of claiming the human employee is its own "separate legal entity".

Idk about you but I would not consider AI-generated memories of my grandparents even remotely close to being an authentic experience whatsoever. One of my grandparents passed before I was born, so any synthetic depictions of us are fake. Th

The e/acc camp will tell you AGI can solve all of those, which is why AI research needs to move as fast as possible. What they don't tell you is only an aligned AGI can solve it in a way beneficial for humans. We had a half-assed

This is the same as slacklining over a ravine with no harness. Are the views epic? Yes. Does the adrenaline rush feel good? Yes. Are the consequences irreversible if you happen to mess up? Probably yes. The last point is why there's so

AI and AGI are practically two different concepts that most of the industry and the mainstream media are doing a poor job making the distinguishment between them. Also, 100 slightly wonky houses will sell like hot cakes if each one costs le

Isn't that basically what Stardew Valley is? Obv the creator isn't a suburban mom but the premise is very similar.

Yours is an optimistic take and frankly I do agree with most of it: there isn't an upper bound to economic opportunities as long as everyone gets to use the tools, since the cost/risk to produce something new will significantly de

Why? Anyone paying taxes to the state has fully earned their right to exist, especially if the state has a welfare system. Not having children isn't even a new concept. People have done it since time immemorial. What if they had multip

Birthrate by income levels is approaching a dumbbell distribution in industrialized nations. Lower income people have kids due to the lack of options, while ultra-high income people have kids due to the need for heirs (and they can afford t

Housing isn't the sole factor in declining birthrates. Every industrialized nation is going through the same phenomenon and not all of them are having housing crises. It's a combination of various associated costs to raising child

I remember first reading about Herculaneum Papyri more than a decade ago, and pondered about them being read one day. After all, research into virtually unwrapping these scrolls had been ongoing since 2007 ( https://en.wikipedia.o

I have an extremely low opinion of Sundar and current batch of tech management but this tragedy shouldn't be pinned on Google layoffs.

Automated programs are not limited by stamina, attention span, sleep cycles, etc. so I don't think AIs being better at something is necessarily an indicator of failure for humans. Dogs were used to rotate roasting spits in Britain duri

What you are describing is radicalization. People who are doing fine don't get easily radicalized. Why are they being radicalized then? Because they are not doing fine. Why are they not doing fine? Because of the colonial legacy and Fr

Colloquial speech exists in every language and new learners usually aren't taught colloquial speech in a formal manner (hence their confusing upon actually interacting with speakers of that language). This isn't unique to French.

Don't take creepshots of people in public and mandatory shutter sounds will no longer be a thing. "Oppressive" policies exist because people can't behave. Simple as that.

The dysfunction is a common law system thing due to precedents being legally binding unless overturned. Japan uses the civil law system where legal precedents are not magical spells that control the outcome of a court ruling. https:/&

The non-mutable shutter sounds exist for a reason, a good reason at that. It's not an oppressive policy. Requiring phone numbers to sign up or activate accounts is increasingly common outside Korea as well.

That is meaningless when the vast majority of users aren't paying and won't pay for the foreseeable future. Advertisers pay, and Elon is doing all he can to drive away advertisers. Ad quality on Twitter has severely degraded over
