Yet we still have tobacco and vape companies

In the US, there's a government shooting people in the streets, with jackbooted thugs operating with impunity in multiple cities, a leader who's started a war to try to drown our discussion of his pedophile tendencies, the highest court int he land has become nakedly partisan (and openly for sale), yet people are mad about the price of gas.

What an outsider thinks people should be mad about, and what they're actually mad about, are often two different things

I'd say instead that we value the commons and don't like companies making money by externalising all their problems to the general public.

If company Foo leaks my personal data, I suffer, they don't, so without regulation there's no reason for them to invest in protecting it. Same with pollution and similar

For encrypted disks, you've now got high-performance data shuffling between userspace and kernel space - a massive new attack surface

The thing with a jury is that there are motivated experts on both sides explaining the technical details in a (hopefully) easy to understand way, a judge to help ensure fair play, and an appeals process as an escape valve.

Where are any of those safety measures here?

You have a right under the GDPR to get a copy of all data associated with you PII data. Not just your PII data, but every table where PII is a field, or is transitively joinable. If they can provide somebody else something with your name associated with it, they have to provide it to you

Stock is worth exactly what people will pay for it. Ebay share holders get to vote to accept or reject this deal

Nearly a decade old story now

He can apply to the court for special permission - and probably use ADA to guide permission

It's a fraction of the energy released when an unlit fire cracker is dropped an inch. Basically unmeasurable

People have been making the same complaint about Dr Who for at least 40 years, couched in the language of the day. Same with Star Trek.

The phrase "the key insight" now sets my teeth on edge due to how often it appears in LLM writing

Nothing unites a group like a common enemy. If it does fall apart into civil war, expect past and random terrorism for years

I don't think any commercial entity can be trusted to break the law on behalf of customers who only pay a small fee each

Any chance of pushing it to GitHub? My swift knowledge could be written out on an oversized beer coaster currently, so I'm still collecting useful snippets

There are plenty of examples of AI being successfully used to emulated the email / messaging style of a specific individual already known to the target, for spear fishing attacks, and fake video and audio of family members tricking people. I think you're substantially underestimating the peak ability of AI these days

Plausible but lacks suggested experiments or predictions. Seems testable in principle though, in both human and animal models

Humans also write endless amounts of convincing bullshit, and have done since time immemorial. False papers and faked results have been a growing scourge in academia before LLMs were a thing, and that's just counting the intentional fraud - the reproducibility crisis in science, especially medical and psychological science, affects even the best designed and well intentioned of studies.

Humans also make mistakes and assumptions while reverse engineering, so it will always need more engineers to go through the results, test things

You have to be careful when you edit comments - you can be seen as editorialising, which can lose you protection against being liable for defamation in some jurisdictions. Probably not a huge issue for a small website, but now risk than I'd like to take
