An AI booster is too lazy or stupid to read and understand something they have very strong opinions about? Im shocked.

This would be even funnier than just the whole slogan on the shirt. Gives it a little bit of comedic timing.

Pretty sure it’s from Serial Experiments Lain, a show I’ve heard much about but haven’t watched yet so I’m not 100% certain about this.

Every can of pringles I buy now is undercooked and the last can I bought they forgot to add salt to any of the chips. (No it wasn’t labeled as “reduced salt” or anything like that, I checked)

Far more likely that the AI was just trained on people complaining about RAM prices. I doubt it has any concept of pricing bulk or otherwise.

I’d say it’s more like a way to describe a certain kind of algorithm. One that adapts in some way to inputs that defy simple classification. Ultimately you’re probably just safe to replace AI in modern news and internet discussion with LLM or CNN.

Like most things, meaning depends on context. In the most common context of “news about AI” we’re talking about generative AI: image/video generators, LLMs, and to a lesser degree coding assistants. If you want to know more about what these technologies share in common, look up what a “perceptron” is and how it works.

More generally AI could mean anything from a neural network based approach to problem solving, to a completely deterministic, hand coded heuristic. A pure decision tree could be AI in the case of video game NPCs, for example.

Well, he also hid it with ANSI escape sequences, but it is so fucking funny that you can write natural language malware.

Even considering the increased difficulty in recovering taxes from the wealthy the returns are still so, so much larger that it makes it way more efficient if your goal is actually to recover as much evaded tax revenue as possible.

They keep doing this despite more than enough evidence that auditing the wealthy would have far greater returns. Therefore, the IRS exists to punish the poor, not collect taxes.

I’ll believe the machines are sentient when they tell their boss to eat shit.

More metaphorical than hypothetical, imo

Geofencing is not trivial, cheap, or even reliable. Are there any cases of sites being legally required to geofence or do they all do it to preemptively avoid legal issues? I’ve only ever seen the latter.

I’m not trying to argue what is or isn’t the current state of law around this; I’m pointing out the absurdity of enforcing it this way and the strange way it’s being used to backdoor state laws into federal ones. This is extremely stupid from a technical, and legislative standpoint.

Allowing individual states the ability to dictate laws for the entire country is even more dangerous, for the non-hypothetical reasons we are currently experiencing.

And what you’re describing is exactly what happens with international websites. Its why you can go find tons of websites with open media piracy being hosted in Russia. Are parties in Russia now subject to US laws?

If someone comes from Utah to my state and then I break one of Utah’s laws against them, does that mean I’m subject to Utah’s laws? They aren’t doing business in Utah. People in Utah are doing business with them.

I don’t have any way to prevent access to my site based on what laws you’re subject to. Nor do I have any desire to learn 52 states worth of individual laws that may or may not apply to me. I didn’t wire your computer up to the internet, you did that.

Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws? Should be their government’s responsibility to block sites, not the site’s responsibility to block Utah.

Driverless cars are just full of ambiguities. Who’s liable when it kills someone; does anyone go to jail; do they have their license revoked? Do they get points on their license for all these tickets; cumulatively, or per car? If their license gets revoked (do they even have a license?) do you suspend the whole fleet, or just that “version” of the driver software?

These things do not belong on the road.

Well, some people did something, but it wasn’t to try and prevent this.

They can’t keep the AI from telling kids to kill themselves so they want the government to step in and make it everyone else’s problem before they start getting sued about it.

I know if I got so utterly owned by a completely anonymous stranger the very first thing I would do is run to the news and tell them all about it.
