Please keep defending the government getting involved deciding what speech is disinformation, so this administration can also decide what is hate speech and antisemitism, such as criticizing Israel. Your hypocrisy is precisely why you truly don't deserve any sort of constitutional protections, at all.

Ah yes - the hallmark of authoritarianism: The arbiter of truth is for the church... no... GOVERNMENT to decide. The left was supposed to be the progressive bastion of free speech, but lost all credibility. The right never had any except when they realized, for the most part, that censorship is wrong. Both sides - but particularly yours, is worthy of scorn and ridicule.

The tech singularity threat was never real in the sense of the tech itself becoming a superpower.

The threat is the exponential growth and power of a company that has the most resources.

Far before AI will have any real agency of its own, it will be used by a corporation to dominate all industry, all information, etc.

We already have a small handful of groups with majority ownership of almost everything -the investment singularity. They will use their resources to exponentially increase their dominance with AI as their fiduciary duty demands.

Why use chat when there are models specifically trained for translation?

This and the problem in the article are user problems. I'm not saying that the AI space doesn't suck or hasn't gotten worse in many ways, but it's gotten way better in many ways as well. Most of the ways it's gotten worse, besides becoming more restrictive, just require more careful prompting or using models most appropriate for the task at hand.

Kids these days... Back in my day, we'd punch arson locations into into our TomToms and have Homer Simpson's voice give us there.

They just put a cellular chip in it.

The power-editors on Wikipedia are terrible.

Consulting gigs can largely be replaced by AI and that would be an incredible cost savings.

Photo radars are a reactive measure. If the goal is safety, and also eliminating carelessness and inattentiveness which we've ALL done, governors make the best sense as a proactive safety measure to save lives.

As far as cops, you have it backwards: Th static limits on any given road by our infallible authoritative experts following "The Science" in government have decided is SAFE, of all people involved, those in public SAFETY, who ENFORCE these perfect limits, should have these devices before anyone else does because they are sworn to uphold the law. For good reason, police chases are becoming less rare because its much harder to hide. The more we leave it up to machines to set the boundaries than a Barnie Fife with an attitude selectively enforcing the law, I'm actually for speed governors.

Manual driving is going to become very expensive soon because of the liability involved. I'd gladly give up driving if fleets of cars were autonomous. It allows much higher safer top speeds.

Amazon is a big company specifically because people prefer shopping online. No physical store can have all of the inventory options a person wants all in one place.

Brick an Mortars are for service companies where it is a necessity the customer, service provider and any goods are co-located. Most Amazon sales are cheap crap and consumables where no customer service exists or should even be required.

The deepseek distilled models are censored. Have you been able to test the full model locally?

Another AI bot, probably.

It wont go beyod how to outsource thinking to some stupid chat bot

When it comes to big money, government, corporations, etc, never attribute to stupidity what could be malice in disguise.

You obviously think excessive criminal punishment and warrantless spying is a good progressive look, but it's not.
