All the messages and responses I have sent to people... Lots of good info I didn't copy down yet.

Download a fresh copy of my DNA data.

I'm wondering if I should go to FamilyTree or Ancestry.

We have to define AI and approaching things. We have to define fair use for AI.

Just like we can read a book and learn so should an AI be able to. Just like we can read something and draw an image representing it so should an AI be able to. Just like we can fantasize so should an AI be able to and generate images and sound from it. Are we going to allow government to outlaw certain thoughts? Our own thinking is related to what "AI" is doing.

A separate issue: So far no AI has risen to status of person. So no AI has rights. Therefore works by an AI should not be copyrightable or patentable. There should be consequence for fraudulently claiming works generated by an AI even if you "own" it. Only people should have intellectual property rights for stuff they thought up in their own head and not simply utilizing an AI. If you register a derivative work from an AI for intellectual property rights then the original must be public and hence in the public domain.

Allowing people to use AI to generate IP would be disastrous because it will be like monkeys at a typewriter scenario except it will actually generate something. People will use AI to generate everything possible in the hopes of hitting a bullseye of something can be used to sue someone else for infringment when the person being sued is the only PERSON to actually do any real thinking and creating on the subject. Don't let the copyright and patent offices receive get more DDOS and spam submissions than they already do.

That is the true revolution. A kiosk is only good when your phone runs out of charge. The solution of that is having chargers on every table. The best solution is when your don't have to get up from your table to get your food but rather they bring it to your table number. No lines at all except in actually preparing the food.

This is just promotion. It does not make what he says true or false. It's always going to always be getting better, greater and more useful. To be credible you need someone that is involved and studies the subject but does not benefit from saying his opinion one way or another.

The code is escrowed for a period of time determined by the developer. If you want the latest greatest version then you pay for a license. Those with a license can see the latest code and contribute if they wish to do so and ultimately use the newest version of the application. It can be a yearly/multi year or one time fee depending on the developer. If you contribute significantly (to be determined by the main developer) then you can get comped for a free year. Other than paying for the first year many people can effectively get the software free by fixing a few software bugs every year. Many can be promoted to a tenured license after enough time contributing.

Meanwhile a "free" older version is publicly available with the latest security fixes.

I have said it before. I will say it again. And this is despite me being libertarian on most things.

Radio trackers should be on all vehicles. Capable of externally knowing your exact position down to a couple inches down every street based on a radio ping with your vehicle serial number. All vehicles are tracked equally... end of story.

As a consequence the system knows every move your car makes and if you did something wrong immediately. You get some warnings but the system itself trains you to become the best driver you can be because otherwise you get automatic fines and citations that could lead to your license being suspended. You have no chance to be a sloppy driver so everyone drives very well and accidents become extremely rare.

This also takes one of the fund raising techniques of cities away from them. Further, cops can't choose to stop you while driving anymore. The system has to give them permission in an extreme situation. You can't drunk drive or even drive tired as the system would notice from you swerving and your reaction time to other vehicles and tell you itself to pull over and if you didn't shut off the vehicle in the middle of the road after so long. It could literally tell you where and when you could pull over to sleep it off.

The system in a car shouldn't just broadcast data from it's own GPS and speed data. The reported data can be hacked. Rather it should identify the vehicle with an encrypted serial number and broadcast a ping that radio sensors along roads can pickup and triangulate your speed and position very accurately from. This way only the system would know your data but people or organizations could not install their own radios receivers and track vehicles on the sly. Any particular sensor just needs to be able to track say 50 to 100 cars along any section of road.

A launch control center and fueling tanks. How are these flight related and under the FAA?

The FAA should be regulating the skies on launch day. You know the could it hit anything sort of regulation that is implied in it's name. Flight path and could it hit anything if it explodes...

Sorry you can't fly! The logo on your spacecraft is blue and your only permitted to use yellow... it will take 6 months and a study to change it to blue.

Seriously stop it. It's an investment to learn an interface. Stop making me relearn apps over and over. The first one did everything I needed it to.

Instead make the interface modular. So old interfaces and new interfaces all work with the same core app's functionality, and updated security. When you really need a feature that isn't compatible with the interface your know then and that's when your motivated to learn to a new one.

For example if I wanted the windows 3.1 interface on Windows 11 then I should be able to use that. Let's say I'd been in a coma for 30 years. Same for Win95 or Windows 7 which was a classic. There should be helper apps to adapt newer features and options into the paradigm of old interfaces where possible.

He was flagged for hitting the honeypot and targeted. Most likely they found out which phones he was using and targeted his phone. Installed a rootkit and stole his passwords.

How can they install rootkits? You can compel an "app store" to install it on a targeted phone. When people hear about CP they fall all over themselves to cooperate.

Harder is they physically confiscated his phone either coped it to a hacked version of his phones internal electronics (using the old phone shell) or replaced a few chips in the phone. The latter strategy is more along the lines of the CIA.

The money drives it. It either gets incorporated in other projects or someone with time, motivation, and personal interest takes the reigns that otherwise would have been squeezed out by the corporate mentality.

It did what it needed for the time which was to sell server processors for cloud encoding.

Easier to get him on a pornography charge. Plus some lawyers will avoid the case. Do everything you can to make him plead guilty.

REAL MDMA is an abuse potential Drug. While I do think in the end it will prove useful I do not think it will achieve three sigmas of obvious effectiveness.Maybe two.Other drugs are more likely to be approved in it's place.

Maybe in a couple hundred years we will be better able to prescribe such drugs on a personal effectiveness prescription.

In the big scheme gold leaf is really disposable. Only exception is cutting fingers from circuit boards. Your better of panning for gold.

First of all. Every site that offers content knows people can share accounts.You know this day one. It is no surprise.

It is part of the business model weather you actively plan it or not. Businesses are foolish to over-police accounts. It's time consuming and prone to errors without the necessary manpower to oversee it. That manpower is expensive.

So the optimal strategy is you use it. You are giving people unauthorized free subscriptions. These people would not have purchased the service before. They get use to having the service and see more value in it. You then police the system for a year or so spending the money to crackdown. You may get 10-20 percent conversion to paying customers. You then silently reduce the staff for that department after a year and start the cycle over.

Does not solve anything!

While the chances of anyone having an perfect twin in the world are less likely than a lottery. (I don't think one has been found yet.)

Everyone probably has like 50 people that look or sound enough like them that a person that intimately knows the principle person would mistake the 50 similar people for them initially. Way more if apparent current age doesn't have to be the same.

Whom is impersonating who? We going to stop people from becoming models because they were born looking like someone else? All we can do is judge whom a particular face is currently associated with. Just look at all the actors and actresses that people stupidly confuse that don't look like one another. A very slippery slope that lawyers will love.

Digital catalogs are already being created for looks and voices.

The only people that will benefit from this at the end is lawyers.

I can see the headlines coming of actors being rejected for roles because one they look too much like this other more noted actress or singer.
