So can I say: "I did not shoot him, my gun only ejected the bullet at high speed when the trigger was pulled, which is what the thing is made for."

turned himself in at a local police station saying that he is the head of a criminal hacking organisation and that he should be arrested and the rest of Open AI shut down with immediate effect.

No ? If your are rich enough the normal rules increasingly do not apply to you.

most AI is Super Intelligent.

Price comparison has been going on for years; just send someone round to nearby stores with a pen & clipboard; collate the results and set prices.

"AI" is just the latest type of magic pixie dust that is used to wow people that something great is going on.

when it talks about climate change. However the morons that run the state will not do that.

It's not even a legal stretch to do so. If I encourage a 6 year old to drive a car and there is an accident, I'm legally on the hook for the lot of it with criminal charges on top. Why shouldn't the AI companies face the same liabilities?

Moving from 1024 to 2048 when 768 is broken is one thing. But so far, quantum computers have only managed 6 bits and had to cheat a bit to do it. It took longer than a child with pencil and paper would take. The new improved quantum computers that were going to do better than that some 6 years ago just kinda didn't happen. We'll get 'em next year?

The fact that this RSA weakness is not based on quantum computation is irrelevant

It's extremely relevant. An actual computer that we can build today can exploit the new RSA weakness. We have no computers today that can run Shor or Grover and the timeline for one that can on a useful scale is somewhere between years and never.

Also how we got to post-quantum when quantum computers have yet to factor anything faster than a 6th grader with pencil and paper.

You are both done laughing and not done laughing.

Bugs (in new code) are hopefully being added more slowly than bugs found and squashed in existing code - so surely the number of remaining bugs will drop. Hopefully those running bug finding AIs are not keeping some remote exploitable bugs to themselves; I would not be surprised if government agencies were doing this.

If they would reprocess it, much of that 3.6 million pounds would become either valuable nuclear fuel or totally inert scrap.

The rest would only last 200-500 years before becoming totally inert.

Who wizzed in your wheaties?

And I stand by what I said. Practically no phone that still works at all does it at the low level of a capacitor anymore.

Exactly. For example, spreadsheets were often used day to day but the accountants kept the actual books as books and had the final word. That changed over time, only after spreadsheets proved out (and got the bugs out).

Also, humans stayed in the loop. Sure there were occasional funnies like a medical database claiming a few male patients had a history of pregnancy, but humans were in the loop and cited those as obvious errors. There were still backup paper records to fall back on.

But a lot of people when they hear someone say "it's nowhere near ready for prime time" will claim the person is saying "It'll never work".
