That's an interesting take I don't see anyone else bringing up. It would also, I would think, make it easier for the 30% fewer engineers to earn a better living in the long run and reduce human management effort. This makes the mo

I still haven't read any of his work, but wasn't the point of the Three Laws of Robotics that they in fact _didn't_ work in the story presented in the book?

Checking AI citations and reading. Critical thinking and reading comprehension and the primary tools in determining truth, AFAIK. Knowing facts beforehand helps too but a trustworthy source can provide false information as much as an untrus

Ah yes, you trust https://www.newsonhealth.co.uk/ over research from Harvard. One, maybe two non-research docs or... a team of research docs.

I hope you don't take pride in that sentence because I'm still not sure what it means. Also, automation and pride can go hand in hand. Pride doesn't mean "make it by hand," that would be silly.

Not if 100 companies did it and they all got away. This is to teach a lesson because you cannot prosecute all thieves. Yale Law Journal actually writes about this, the goal is to deter crime because in most cases damages cannot be recovered

This, there is always middle ground. Personally, I have only used AI to write actual code when it is for Bash and Python scripts that are self contained. In my case self contained means they are interfaced to via command line so their bound

Working and not being able to live is not an "economic opportunity." It's more likely the reason some of these folks aren't employed. Lowering wages doesn't create anything except depravity on the part of employers.

We'd still be waiting for healthcare with this kind of plan. Before the ACA it simply was not a choice to be an independent professional and have health insurance. If people could understand why it is unacceptable to force independent

Usually you want to boot from a cryptographic-ally verified medium where a checksum can be verified before you execute the system. The emphasis is on running the correct software. If you have to input cryptographic data every time you boot

Ditto. The internet is adversarial, a cold wallet should only be reachable by a wrench attack.

How else can you possibly solve it? Competition solves everything. Who gets to mate with who has been answered by competition our entire existence. Striving for non-violent, yet fair, competition is what advancing the world is about.

That absolutely sounds like it. I opened several laptops with spudger tools. Now I can open random items I didn't watch videos for just because I have an idea of how it _might_ be assembled.

Glad to see someone talk about this. It's a bit of a pain. They limited your choices and now the limited choices are facing legal scrutiny. The Japanese lawyer representing Mt. GOX customers is also collecting fees this entire time fro

Fun fact! Stoner Cats 2, from the list of enforcement actions, paid a settlement that was about 10-20% of what they made from their sales! NFTs as an investment offering are still a good way to make money it seems!
