Isn't that pretty much the standard tech business plan nowadays? Not to build a sustainably profitable company... but to pull something together that offers the best potential for a quick buyout in the shortest amount of time.

Or take a closer look at blood transfusions.
A biblical verse states the life of an organism is in its blood. It is blood that carries the nutrients, signalling molecules and even free mitochondria that probably signal the transplanted organ to turn younger. The bioelectric environment also matters, but probably not to the same extent as blood does to the transplanted heart.

However since OpenAI's Wikipedia page clearly states that a rogue agent absolutely definitely pinky-swear didn't do this, I'm inclined to conclude that it's fake news.

That's the issue here. Something unsubsidized without government involvement is generally considered at the whim of the people. Their objections can kill a project. On the flip side something subsidized is directly the result of enacting government policy. People don't come into it unless it's an election year, and even then in many "safe seats" people don't come into it at all. What they gonna do? Vote democrat? LOL

The problem here isn't the action taken initially, it's the follow-up.

1) Police shouldn't be approaching any situation in a way to get someone killed.
2) The courts shouldn't come into this. The point here is that we are in a "detained for questioning" stage. Virtually all of such cases are quickly resolved in the rest of the world. We're assuming a threat based in lack of information, we're not assuming intent yet. At most we should be talking about a several hour inconvenience, and that is perfectly acceptable for security in a modern society.

If everything resulted in crippling court fees then I'd agree with you, it's not appropriate. But that's a different issue that needs fixing. We shouldn't abolish police response to threats simply because the court system is fucked.

Ooooh if deaths from societal impact is what you were talking about, then I absolutely agree with you.

The issue with AI though is that it absolutely has benefits, but there most definitely need to exist guardrails. AI capabilities are still in their infancy, AI is currently treated with some guardrails, and yet... it has shown aggressive behaviour in the pursuit of its goal. Right now you can't trust Claude to book an appointment for your at the gym without it breaking the law, exploiting software flaws, and fraudulently modifying a database it doesn't own to kick some poor unwitting person out of their reserved time slot using actions that would get a normal person at a minimum a serious fine.

AI's usefulness is not in question, it's the severity of its implications given what we already know from its limited scope.

I agree, the car has nothing to do with it. You should buy a *portable* AM radio. It's your assertion that they are "going to do jack for you" that is just wrong and not supported by any actual emergency which has happened or advice from any emergency response group.

Emergency kits are important, and if you're travelling away from your city you should have one with your in your car.

If you're leaving home and going to a shelter you're not in an emergency, you're avoiding an emergency. It's a very important distinction to make, and one that reflects the fact that many emergencies require you to explicitly abandon the car.

A car is not part of an emergency kit. And when you get in your car, take your damn portable AM radio with you, you'll need it when you get out of the car, the emergency shelter is not a drive in theater.

If you travel a lot then you should have an emergency kit in your car as well (including a transistor radio). Let me guess, you don't even have a fully decked out first aid kit?

Here's the thing, preparedness is key, but not everyone needs to be prepared. You may have seen too many zombie movies, but what will typically happen in an emergency is that you're surrounded by people. You were at work? I bet you were in an office with an emergency response plan and hard line communication systems in place, and then you drove home right? I mean you didn't spend days in the office because the lights were out. Right? When you got home, did you go out to your car every few minutes to turn on the radio?

Have a think about what you actually did in those emergencies.

Should look at kidney transplants - there are many more to investigate than hearts.

They AM has been used in all emergencies. Like seriously WTF are you talking about? There's hurricanes yearly, turn on the radio sometime.

Like way too many things these days "owning the libs" isn't a one-off purchase, it's a lifetime non-cancellable subscription, and your children and children's children will be paying for it as well.

Nope. You misrepresent the claim, which was: "Chinese AI is handicapped by training that has to conform with Chinese Communist Party doctrine and revisionist history."

Basically the Great Firewall carrying forward into the AI era for domestic use.
"The Great Firewall (GFW; Chinese: ; pinyin: Fánghu Cháng) is the combination of legislative actions and technologies enforced by the People's Republic of China to regulate the Internet domestically.[1] Its role in internet censorship in China is to block access to selected foreign websites and to slow down cross-border internet traffic."

China/s domestic AI will be handicapped since to solve a problem, one must accurately understand the problem. Domestic information control does not facilitate that.

You did nothing other than try to change to topic to international models outside the great firewall. And modest local models. These are both different things from the constrained domestically model described.

There is no evidence because we are describing a race that is just beginning. Again, you misunderstand the discussion.

We are way past inconvenience. Electricity bills typically go up at least 15 to 20%. Air quality drops tremendously and becomes a serious health concern especially for children. Remember even though they're taking all your electricity it's never enough so they are often running gas turbines with absolutely no oversight or environmental regulations. Your probably values collapse so you can't even sell and move. The noise is also not just inconvenient it's a constant drone that you never get used to and it bores into your skull and hurts. Finally they start taking so much groundwater that your foundation starts to collapse.

It's basically the death of any community. That's why people scream at those Town Hall meetings. But they haven't figured out that they can't do anything about it as long as they keep voting Republican.
