The EU already has exactly that! The Charter of Fundamental Rights is binding constitutional law, and the Council's own lawyers said the CC2.0 would probably be annulled by the CJEU if passed. The problem isn't the absence of this constitutional right, it's that constitutional review is retrospective. Someone has to pass the law, it runs for years, harm accumulates, a case reaches the court, and then it gets struck down.

Anecdotally, I've had Claude (Sonnet and Opus latest) consistently misread numbers from screenshots of my macro tracking app. Makes me skeptical of claims about its usefulness for anything requiring accurate image interpretation, let alone MRI analysis.

Anecdata: I see this in the park next to my house. Two crows will repeatedly chase and tail-pull an Egyptian goose that has no food and nothing they could want. Hard to read it as anything other than play, which lines up with documented corvid tail-pulling of eagles, cats, etc.

Also he is not a "thought criminal". He has convictions convictions for crimes such as assault, threats, harassment, fraud and contempt of court.

Arent't the models trained on open source code though? In which case OpenAI et al should be following the licenses of the code on which they are trained.

Capitalism is not the redistribution of resources. It is an economic system in which the means of production are owned by private owners, as opposed to collectively.

In theory, full communism prevents corruption by removing its structural causes rather than relying on laws or moral exhortation. And since corruption under capitalism (in Marxist analysis) stems from private ownership, class divisions, and the scramble for scarce resources, abolishing those conditions should eliminate the incentives that drive people to exploit positions of power for personal gain. Without private property to accumulate or a state apparatus to capture, the reasoning goes, there would simply be nothing left to be corrupt about.

Nice. Just a thought: It would be cool if you could control your TV with (robust) hand gestures like this!

No, in fact I'm growing increasingly suspicious of messages I see like this all over the socials.

I am using Claude constantly, multiple agents, around 8-10hrs a day, 5 or 6 days a week, and I'm never anywhere need my limit.

I can't tell if this is satire. Some people really believe stuff like this.

Maybe the joke was on Babbage. Possible that they were asking about trust and over-reliance, which turned out to be the real problem.

Yes that's what vegetarian means, 99% of the time.

Where did I say "full complicity"? But yes, animals who are farms for milk and eggs are treated just as badly, sometimes worse, than animals that are farmed for meat.

>Beyond Meat CEO Says ‘It’s Just Not The Moment For Plant-Based Meat’ After Rebrand

It absolutely is the time for plant-based meat. It has never been more crucial. It's just that their business model was easily replicable.

Unfortunately by still eating dairy and eggs, you are participating in that system.

Health conscious ethical vegan here. I eat these fairly often. The protein content is fine. I get micronutrients from other sources. I track all my calories and macros, every single day. My diet is perfectly balanced, thanks very much.

Something is only unhealthy or healthy in light of everything else you eat. It's reductive to say otherwise.

Impressive engineering, genuinely. But I'd push back on the framing that scaling aquaculture is straightforwardly good.

Fish sentience is increasingly well-supported in the neuroscience literature. We already kill somewhere around 1-2 TRILLION fish annually... a number that dwarfs land animal slaughter yet attracts almost no ethical scrutiny. Optimising and scaling that system is worth examining carefully.

The part of your website that says "land can't feed 10B people, wild fisheries are maxed out, therefore aquaculture" also quietly ignores plant-based protein, which is more land-efficient and doesn't require instrumentalising sentient animals at industrial scale.

I'm not saying the engineering problems aren't interesting. They clearly are. But at 1-2 trillion deaths per year, this is the largest scale of animal killing in human history, and we're building better tools to do more of it.
