Not sure which state is left, but the summary states it, 48 states settled for 18B. NM got them for 25B singularly. As I said before, NM is on a roll doing better than other AG's. Surprising as I'd expect the large state AG's to be better at this stuff. And now I see they may end up getting the dirt on Epstein as well. There is a Epstein property in NM with dead bodies buried, so they have standing for sure. And they may have some maids/grounds people etc in NM that have knowledge that were on the property during the period. Fingers crossed they get more results than the fed's have in the decades they've been looking. And as I recall there is no statute of limitations on murder which may motivate some property staff to start talking.

He doesn't have to cry. It is baked in. SpaceX has one voting shareholder. Musk. When every one of his shares gets 10 votes, and he has around 40% of the shares, well, do the math. Even tesla, if you run the numbers on family members, acolytes and musk shares, its done. The committee is just window dressing. Not sure why he chose now to do it, but I'm sure he has a reason. The man knows how to work the stock system.

New Mexico is on a roll. Not Cal, not NY, but lil ol NM. Good on them. Show the other states how it is done. I hope the judgement stands, and it should based on what little I've read. I am not a lawyer though. FB broke the statute and should have to pay. To me, no different from that 250K infringement thing some consumers have been hit with for downloading a movie or song.

that this is going to happen. It has zero to do with anything except musk has 10X voting shares in spacex that means it does what he says. Period. There is zero investor input at spacex. zip, nada. He was royally pissed when those pesky investors sued him over his pay package at tesla. So with a simple stroke, he will control both spacex/tesla with an iron clench. There will be zero investor input at the combined co. zip, nada. Most will likely be fine with it. A few adult funds will walk because of the control issues. Some funds think when they invest money in a co, they get a valid vote. Musk does not agree with that theory.

free year of credit monitoring. I'd like to think everyone affected gets a whack at those responsible. Bring back paddles!

Definitely not giving away "his" shares. Those shares get 10X the voting right all the others have. It is why I said spacex/tesla are merging back when spacex went public. By merging the co's he has an iron clench around the voting. He is a dictator at spacex. Merged, he will be a dictator of the combined co's. In most co's there is at least some level of voting control outside the insiders. At spacex, you are literally along for the ride.

I believe their bond rating is just one notch above junk. Coreweave is in junk territory. "CoreWeave’s overall credit rating is a B+ at S&P Credit Ratings, which is junk bond territory. " from https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnbc.com%2F2026%2F10%2F1...

Yes, I believe this year it passed both medicare and defense. Both run around .9T whereas debt interest is now 1.3T (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffred.stlouisfed.org%2Fseries%2FA091RC1Q027SBEA) I think SS is around 1.5T, so I'd expect with current interest rate rise, interest will soon be the #1 spend.

Exactly what I built. 19" touch display with a pi at the heart. Controls lights monitors all sorts of stuff, and it is chime based grandfather clock as well. Center is clock with a rolling set of images behind it. Double touch the clock face and the menus show up for control. I also add pi/beaglebone/pico control/monitor modules as desired. Been using it since covid. Previously I had been using X10 stuff integrated with some stuff I wrote back in the early 2000's, but modules started to fail and hard to get. Not a trivial project and continues to evolve, but this is a nerd site so I expect others have done something similar.

Been a very long time, but I think there were "damages". And your, "If, for example, some jackass runs a .sh file they found online, ..." example fails to acknowledge we are not talking about a random person. We are talking about an expert. They should know better. I'll toss another whatif. Whatif a bio-researcher allows the plague out of the lab? Is that negligence? Maybe they had no intent, just careless or maybe they didn't RTFM about proper precautions. I'm sticking with they knew, and because they knew it was not reckless, it had to be intended. What they say after the fact is puffery to CYA. They would not want me on that jury.

US, Indiana. Note you were 17. Below the special age of 18. He was in college, so above 18. Frat rush process, so sophomore year, always 18 by then unless you skipped grades. Again, you got lucky, you should be very thankful.

Certainly at this moment, reckless, not negligence. They are researchers in ai doing this. I'm not a researcher in ai and even I know the stories. Frankly I'm amazed that no bar organization has dis-bar'ed any lawyers for submitting ai hallucinated cases.Some judges have done summary judgements, which just hurts the client, not the lawyer.

Its not like any of this information is not well known. And there are some laws against computer tampering, so I don't think it is a reach to apply those laws directly and not call it reckless behavior. This is all well known info. What is the phrase, ignorance of the law is not a defense. I mean I'd equate it to driving drunk and telling the officer, "Officer, I did not know you cannot drive after drinking." Would not get you very far. So when the researcher says, "Officer I had no idea this ai program could do things I did not tell it", I don't think it should get you very far. Especially if you are a researcher. Maybe if you are 12 asking chatgpt it is, but then you are a minor and get some extra leeway. I do think the chatgpt company should get the full punishment though.

It is a huge problem. I know of no solution since they are banking on human nature. Much like social media banks on human behavior. It got a few very rich, and the users got some short lived endorphin rush. Tech is going to screw us. I'll shed no tear when the guillotine is rolled out for the perps. Maybe it is just old age get off my lawn, but I don't remember tech being quite so evil when I got into it. Sure it displaced jobs which had issues back then, but I don't recall it being used to manipulate people for blatant evil. Short that guillotine, I don't see an answer. Tech moves way faster than government, it is agile.

You got lucky. A person I was in a HS class did a prank in college that was a break in to get something for a frat. He did get jail. I expect that 17 saved you. Barely. But I think jail is required here. Nothing less is going to stop this insanity. I expect fear of jail would be a very good deterrent for the cohort doing ai. All of these things are text book criminal, breaking in for monetary gain. My HS mate got jail and I doubt it even qualified as monetary gain.

I saw another story about booz allen running some tests on infrastructure. Except they bothered to setup a completely isolated environment to see what happened. I'm sure it cost them some money to setup process controllers etc, but they did the right thing. They did not release a potentially deadly ai out in the open.

Or if it costs flock more money to send moving images, throw up some displays with old movie chase scenes or something that will trigger the ALPR to send back to HQ. Extra processing costs for flock.

thingan has it right. The contract is worded as if too good to be true. And so the admins go sure why not, next to free and solves our problem. It is not unlike the deal I just got offered from base here in austin. It sounds good, we'll put a giant battery on your property that you can use in a blackout. What they don't say is they'll discharge that sucker down to as little as I think 6KWH from its capacity of 40 if they can make money from it. So when you likely need it most, it could be nearly exhausted, giving you no benefit. But they don't hilite that. Worse, you've given them an easement, so now they have the right to come onto your property whenevr the thing needs service. And don't even think about selling your house without disclosing the 20 year lease. But on the surface, looks like a great deal. 13 grand battery for 695 + 20/mo.
