You need licenses for a lot of things though, particularly for things where there is substantial harm to be done when done incorrectly. This is just how it goes as things get more popular. Think back to 1903, there was no FAA then, but also

Well, hopefully we end up like them then, and not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Species_made_extinct_... or worse, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Species_made_extinct_...

I think if/when people start getting laid off across the board, in most industries, there will be a change in attitude. The trouble is, the poor folks who get laid off first, and have nothing in the meantime.

UBI paid for by a tax on token usage and an “employment” tax per robot. You’re still free to have a job of some sort if you come up with one, but the UBI is enough to cover all your needs and plenty of basic wants. I don’t see any other way

Not to mention you “opted in” by the terms and conditions of the service, which would certainly argue that if you didn’t agree to the terms, you didn’t have to use their website.

How about not on the street, but in a boat in international waters? Or, how about on the street, but they were believed to be carrying drugs?

I go out in public sometimes, but don’t want someone following me around live-streaming everything I do to twitch. Yes, it can be done in full view in public, and still be an invasion of privacy. why do you think they’re called glassholes a

Ok, let’s say I buy that. Why was Anthropic singled out?

Which notably, doesn’t affect money transfers in general, just ways that poor people transfer money, so the concern as stated is not in good faith at all, but rather a way to further punish migrant workers, primarily Mexicans, and is absolu

And? This is the same argument the south made while supporting slavery. I’m not saying the two are equally bad, but this is just simply not a valid argument if you ignore the surrounding context.

So does this mean I can start a supermarket chain named Iceland, and that’s fine?

Christians also invented pray the gay away and the Crusades. What’s your point? Hospitals surely would have been invented by secular people too, but not the crusades.

I’m not convinced that there’s any solution to this besides direct government regulation and an enshrinement of privacy rights into the law. Cities stop paying for flock access? Other cities still will. Regulations preventing public propert

They might be able to convict on that, but that sets a dangerous precedent imo, which is that doing anything preemptively to prevent searches is conviction worthy, including the preparation the OP suggested.

I would have thought the fourth amendment not having specific geographical boundaries, but rather applying generally would have been common sense too, but here we are with border patrol being able to force you to reveal your PIN code just b

So, what, have no regulations whatsoever then? What an absurd suggestion. It’s a cat and mouse game, sure, but that’s like saying “there was a security hole in the software, might as well give up on trying to secure it.”

I love when religions have rule lawyers like this. It readily discredits the religion. As if their all powerful god can be fooled by fancy paperwork or legal loopholes.

I almost ordered, but the delivery fee is way too high.

Maybe! But that’s certainly debatable. “I thought I was doing the right thing” is anyways a much better defense than “I was just following orders” anyways.

“Overhead to starting businesses” is not the only metric to take into account though. I’m not going to defend any given regulation necessarily, but your ad reductum fallacy is to think that’s the ONLY factor that must be considered. Consume

We need regulation, yes, but also people who have a sense of goodness. We can’t legislate every aspect of a respectable society.

That’s not a good example, since you can argue that LLMs have utility to humanity. Hiding the cancel button has none, except for rent seeking.

I would even go further, and say that this logic applies not just for massive games from massive publishers, but platforms like GoG works well as an alternative for indies.

Presumably “us” is “population of the US”, not HN readers.

Most of republican’s decisions become much more logically consistent once you realize they just want to control people, primarily women and minorities. It isn’t and has never been about “family values” or “religious freedom” or “small gover

I don’t think that applies here. They don’t have a monopoly on gaming, there are major competitors in the space, from Sony and Nintendo, as well as Steam/Indie devs. Buying some studios might be anticompetitive in some minor ways, for

If you are in the same insurance pool as me (state funded or otherwise) it is at least some of my business, yes?

They absolutely get to pick. They pick which cases they choose to prosecute, plea bargain, or dismiss, as well as what sentence they choose to ask for.
