So we haven't found a cure for cancer because those silly scientists are too busy farting around with unimportant stuff? That's your take away here?

You also have to consider a ( I would argue large ) percentage of those evangelists are simply lying for financial gain. They see profit, or at least reduced costs, and quite simply don't give a shit about customer experience or anything like that.

Yes? That's a very important piece of information, and I hope would be a thing a doctor asks, especially if there are concerns about weight or nutrition.

How is that useless? You adding the warning tells me everything I need to know.

Either you generated it with AI, in which case I can happily skip it, or you _don't know_ if AI was used, in which case you clearly don't care about what you produce, and I can skip it.

The only concern then is people who use AI and don't apply this warning, but given how easy it is to identify AI generated materials you just have to have a good '1-strike' rule and be judicious with the ban hammer.

So given that the output of an LLM is unreliable at best, your plan is to verify that a LLM didn't bullshit you by asking another LLM?

That sounds... counterproductive

Seeing as how this article is talking about the deportation of US citizens, I'm going to question what exactly you mean by "here illegally".

Expanding the argument: I've just decided that you are illegally, and will thus be deported. As there is no due process, my word is law, have fun wherever you end up I literally do not care.

Does that seem fair? And before arguing "well this wouldn't happen, I'm not here illegally", again, this is an article about the deportation of US citizens. Children no less.

Well someone has to shovel in all the coal we need to power those AIs

>Is he (a) legally (b) morally entitled to open fire on them?

Given how these "arrests" seem to be done by plainclothes individuals who don't identify themselves?

Yes. Legally (depending on state) yes, and morally always.

(Arrests in quotations because anyone arrested has rights, something that seems to be skipped over here)

18 USC 793(f) seems to apply here:

"Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing ... through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust ... and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both."

We can only guess about the "prompt reporting of the issue", but from what I've seen and heard I'm willing to put money on the fact that, no, this was not reported.

Gogogo - very popular, and pretty extensive coverage [0]. The only problem is the scooters themselves are so quiet they sneak up behind you on the street.

Conversely, it's far better to have a slightly more verbose section of code that is immediately readable than a super slick one-liner that like two people can parse.

Maintainability is, in my opinion, just as important as other considerations when writing code. And often the more verbose approach is composed of simpler steps, meaning bugs can be easier to spot during code reviews

> Nothing prevents the next president from having a radically different opinion.

Of course, this is only relevant if they are interested in having a 'next' president, something which it seems a segment of society is less than open to.

> There is a reason no country provides it.

While small, Luxembourg is still considered a country. And their public transit is both free, and fantastic

How do they compete for the same role? Nuclear is the definition of base power generation, whereas solar/wind/etc (when backed with massive battery farms) are perfect peaker plants due to their near instantaneous demand response.

I suspect that if you have ever posted copyrightable material online, you will have valid cause to sue them, as they very obviously have incorporated your work for commercial gain. That said, I unfortunately put your chances of winning in court very low.
