Rather than a threat I'd say it moreso would fall under "conspiracy to commit murder".

Discussing plans to commit a crime is a crime (eg, conspiracy).

Now, I'd wager she didn't really intend to go through with this, and in the end there's a good chance the charges get dropped, but seriously - don't be talking about shit like that. I can't even see where someone would joke, vent, or otherwise say - even in private - that they plan on committing a mass murder.

"That police department is a bunch of assholes!" - sure I get that. I might say that. I might say they're crooked, lazy, incompetent, or any other set of negative adjectives, but talking about killing people is not a good way to be venting.

Probably put her in solitary because she kept insisting she was innocent.

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.

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.

Or even a nation state that gets hold of a copy of Claude, I can think of many that would happily use it for this -- and worse.

It means Iran has severely limited the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz. It's a hostage situation. No one is winning, but the objective isn't to win in the sense of completely closing the Strait, the objective is to create a sufficiently long period of pain that eventually the US and its allies walk away. Christ almighty, force multiplication is hardly a new concept.

There are plenty of places in North America without coverage because there's so little to cover. The Los Vegas metropolitan area has about three million people. So yes, that would be a place with cell phone coverage. By the same token, coverage in states like Montana, particularly in mountainous areas is spotty because, well, there's not a lot of people.

People who have a much greater standing than me have said that Israel is carrying out genocide, eg: The International Association of Genocide Scholars, Holocaust scholar Amos Goldberg, Médecins Sans Frontières, Raz Segal "A Textbook Case of Genocide" to list but a few. The evidence is there for all to see but our political leaders in the West ignore it.

Then there is Jerusalem, the West Bank, South Lebanon - all with the aim of Greater Israel.

Israel is training AI chatbots how to talk about Gaza so that when people query what is happening it casts doubt on the genocide that it is doing in Palestine. This is even more dangerous as people might start to believe Israel's lies.

That's why I hate most subscription services. Gyms, AAA - hell even insurance to some degree. They're all built around the idea that the customers should be paying but they're the enemy.

With a straight up transactional or metered service, the more the customer uses something, the more they get paid. They're incentivized to make the service or product good. With a subscription, the more the customer uses a service, the LESS money they get paid. They want to balance the scales between making the service good enough to keep the customer from unsubscribing but not so good that they use it.

If it is optional then I hope that I can chose who I buy it from. However I doubt that this is the case.
