It doesn't make much difference if you perform similar practices in a different country. UK police are just like American police.

Apart from the bit about killing people, for the most part.

who are exactly the same as the Russki police, right? Bloody hell...

Who cares? The valet could do any number of other attacks, like stealing the car, sabotage, adding a tracker, whatever. Threat modeling is important, otherwise security can harm one's own goals. Sometimes you have to briefly trust another person. I'd rather have an open shell inside a locked room when the alternative is no access at all.

You would notice if someone stole your car though.

I don't think it should be outright banned, automated intelligence is like a gun, hammer, knife, nuclear warhead, etc.

I see that intelligence itself is a tool, but that doesn't mean I want an automated gun, automated hammer, automated nuclear warhead, etc.

You may not want them, but the NRA certainly wants that you want them.

In the future perhaps it will mean "Neural Rifle Automaton"

Ok I may agree with this. Instead to ban it we should nerf it to the point it’s useless.

Maybe nerf should start selling ai models.

How are they not already??

not really, though. you don't see automated intelligence in the hands of junkies et al. ... and you don't see it coming, either ...

Junkies et al can log into chatgpt right now and use it to create a phishing email to steal drug money from your Grandma. Many people saw this coming.

And they don't need castrated Fable for that.

Pharmaceutical companies do make clinical decisions, it just isn't called a clinical decision. But they decide what research to pursue, and thereby decide which drugs exist for the doctor to choose.

They influence clinical decisions by adding to treatment options, but they do not make clinical decisions. If we believe that a drug's potential risks outweigh its benefits, clinicians will not prescribe it.

We can call all these inaccurate methods The Injustice System. Next episode: The Dishonorable AI Judge.

Shopping carts don't choose items, you do, you [redacted].

It's not about stopping crime, it's about control.

Sure but that’s not how they’re selling it.

How about we not form our society into a jail?

This is a hilarious take

The latest Miasma/Shai-Hulud worm will not run if your development system has KOI8-R (Russian) as the primary language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI8-R

> Kill switch, as always with APT28 malware, is setting the host language to ru_RU.KOI8-R (LANG environment variable). That disables the spread mechanism.

Note: KOI8-U is Ukrainian and would still trigger the worm/trojan/malware.


So? If I were a US based malware dev that’s what I’d do to avoid detection…

Clickbaiters abused the concept of a hook until the hook itself was seen as clickbaity.

Damn near a whole generation estranged from basic literary convention due to its horrendous abuse.
