When your starship will run on one anti-matter atom.

Actually, anti-matter factories are possible, but probably not in a strong gravity field surrounded by positive matter. (Also they aren't cheap to power. It takes a lot of power to create mass, and you need to create twice as much as the amount of anti-matter you end up with, even if you get 100% efficiency.)

Actually, an AI can't be made legally responsible because current law doesn't recognize it as even a sentient entity, much less a legally responsible one. It's less accountable than a three year old bashing keys at random. But you can also kill it (i.e. the instance you are running) with no accountability.

The company the runs or provides access to the AI, however, is a different matter. But they've got a bunch of fancy lawyers that will argue that it wasn't their fault.

What entity do you believe bears the legal obligations? The AI software? Your local machine? The company that's running the AI? The company that designed the AI? Someone else?

Most of those things can't have legal responsibility. I suppose the companies could, but they've got strong legal departments that will argue otherwise.

All of the small groups could change their behavior as much as they can afford to and it wouldn't add up to changing the behavior of just one or two of the biggest groups. The individual's power is limited as well, they choose from what's on the menu, they don't determine what's listed. Don't blame the victims.

I have some ancient Sennheiser HD 420s, I had to replace the foams (and hacked some other Sennheiser foams for that) but they are otherwise still flawless. The cord is nigh-indestructible and super long. And they are also super comfortable, they weigh nothing. It's way smarter to get used Sennheisers than new Bose.
