Audacity isn't trying to be "a proper DAW," it's OK to be just be an audio editor.

Those are tangible items. Here, the baker is buying shoes from someone who says they're going to be a cobbler some day.

This isn't court. The evidence, such as it is, is all of the smoke which commonly motivates people to look for fire. The strongest and most comprehensive that I've seen is the argument that if Trump was not implicated in the Epstein files, he would be publishing them in free book form himself and forcing every media outlet to advertise it. Slight exaggeration, but I think truly only slight.

Not really relevant to the thread, but there are simple answers to the "eViDeNcE??" question. You may have already known this.

Pulling out randomly, I see it all the time. I beat the computer by a) anticipating; and b) assuming other drivers are idiots who don't see me. I don't have to calculate trajectories and whatnot, people aren't computers, and they can do some things better than a computer can, especially a solely-reactive one.

My understanding is that in the vast majority of investigations law enforcement will be satisfied in learning only who you're talking to, i.e. "just metadata" is fine, and dangerous.

>I wonder why there has been such silence on this

Some combination of cowardice, conflict of interest, and fear of ICE.

"The map is not the territory" ensures that bias and mistakes are inextricable from the entire AI project. I don't want to get all Jaron Lanier about it, but they're fundamental terms in the vocabulary of simulated intelligence.

>evidence now emerging that much of the NFT hype was entirely astroturfed

I mean, was there ever any evidence that it was natural or even legitimate?

If "welcoming" is a virtue, sure. I don't see what's wrong with that, but I do see a problem with using "virtue signaling" in a way that implies there's no such thing as virtue, or that it is always apparent.
