The form of the idea can be limited without it being censorship: for example, you can't protest with a bullhorn in the middle of the night.
Free speech doesn't mean everyone has to listen to you, it means the people who want to listen to you are able to. Youtube demonetizing a video is not censorship. Removing videos because they don't like the ideas in the videos is the worst kind of censorship, because they are trying to control you.

If you didn't knowingly hack the computer, apparently it's not illegal (unless it's fraud or causes other damage or something).

the unauthorized version of Pluto was additionally modified to use a maphack...During some games, Pluto reached several thousand actions per minute... the bot used its micro to surround and neutralize Mutalisks... the bot simultaneously fought in multiple areas of the map, precisely micro-managed its units
So yeah, that kind of clicking (and maybe perfect information, or maybe not) gives the computer a massive advantage, it doesn't even need a neural network to win.

Yeah sure, I bet they are quaking in their boots at an investigation by Trump's FTC. He just had them all over for dinner on the taxpayer's dime. The biggest risk for them is having to buy a gold statue to make this go away.

1) Facebook stopped making new things, pursuing enshittification as the primary strategy.
2) Facebook pissed off Democrats with Cambridge Analytics, and pissed off Republicans with censorship.
3) Doesn't matter how much of that was true, both parties were pissed off and threatening regulation/antitrust at Facebook in a bipartisan way.
4) Facebook promised COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY and name change. They also scaled up political donations in a bipartisan way.
5) The threats largely went away.
6) The COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY went away.

He might get away with it if he smiles more (it worked for Trump). I haven't seen him flash a non-sarcastic smile since COVID. Some mysterious sadness has infected the man.

They translated those functions into input for some aftermarket car controlling hardware, which looks kind of cool but I didn't know was a thing.
I couldn't figure out from their report how they returned data back to the LLM, but apparently they pasted images and telemetry into the chat window every so often, or something like that.

I would think dynamic pricing would be super-obvious to the customer unless they are limiting it to specific price points. Market-based pricing has been a thing for a long time for other products. I already suspect it's used in retail even in my own town when I can go to Wal-Mart on one end of town and find deals different than the one on the other side of town. This just means the end of nation-wide ad campaigns for Mc.D's I guess.
