Warnings about its dangers need to be stated in a way that they will understand. Like maybe "All AI models already have a kill switch: the computer's power cord.

That's literally not a kill switch. How do you kill an AI if you're not in the room where the power cord is plugged in?

"Your honour, I tried killing my AI but it runs in the cloud and I don't know where. Also my AI service supplier refused to turn it off for me when I called them"

Kill switches are a very good thing. When you need them you need them to work. Like any good tool, they are complex to implement correctly. And like any good tool, they should be implemented early. Not as an afterthought, like these AI companies want to do.

A world without kill switches is a world where the kill switch is an EMP.

And rightly so. The senator is not Trump. He is not immune from prosecution like Trump is. So it makes perfect sense that if someone doxxed Trump it should be treated differently than if Trump doxxed a regular American. Trump is a special case with special rights.

I(f you don't like it, maybe don't elect a king?)

There are people who do, Mr Coward, and there are people who don't do. You're one of those.

Well, you're a Coward, Mr Anonymous. So obviously I think you're too scared to actually do what the French did.

Can we call it Stupid Intelligence yet?

This is pretty standard when someone leaves Microsoft.

The management above the person leaving sends a nice message about them and their work and NEVER tells the truth about _why_ they are leaving.

At the upper levels I don't think there's really any sincerity about anything said, one way or another. This is just how corporate America operates.

Nextcloud has done great work in terms of EU-Soverignty and offering credible replacements for all the pieces of the the Microsoft stack.

Nextcloud Talk works well for video conference meetings.

MS Teams is a pretty terrible piece of software. The design of it is bad, and the implementation is bad.

Any software that tries to copy it will also be bad.

If you haven't spun up a nextcloud AIO instance yet for your organization(s), you should try it out.

Yup. I'm expecting "lickable" buttons and windows next.

A judge typically has that discretion already. Your point of view is valid, but I think it encourages gaming, like any other situation where the payoff is thought to be known in advance.

Disagree. Why should people get a pass from accountability so long as they whitelist?

I'm all for layering everything. I'm not for giving people a pass from accountability "if they do X".

We have enough people on Earth. Punishing those who fuck up isn't going to make us extinct.

Shenanigans all the way down

Security disclosures raise a legitimate question: who authorized live experimentation on public infrastructure, and who refuses to shut down these hacking attempts by turning off these "AI" scripts?

I just want one that speaks Gort.

Klaatu ... barata ... neck??? *cough*cough*cough*

If you do, millions of cats will spontaneously decrement their 9 lives counters!

Agreed. Rei has a classic misunderstanding of the data processing inequality
