And somehow we all survived.

Yes, and masturbated furiously to pictures of people in restrooms. It created new genres of porn for people's enjoyment, and created new ways to destroy people's lives.

You may have survived, presumably that's because no one thinks someone would masturbate to you.

Sidenote: a friend of mine has been shot, has a nice scar in her shoulder to prove it. She survived. Maybe we don't need laws against shooting people, after all everyone *I* know who has been shot survived.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again for those who arrived lete: If you give an AI agency of any kind, imagine everything you ask of it to be appended with "by any means necessary", because that' how it will interpret it. Slander, doxxing, and murder will definitely NOT be off the table even if you explicitly forbid them. That's the problem.

Comment Re:Threating to "shoot up" a police station (Score 2) 45

Where do we draw the line between "crazy lady yells at cloud to vent" and "crazy lady with actual gun has actual plans"?

What actually happened here?

No where, we go, assume a threat is real, investigate and let the legal system deal with the results. People seem to think that police work extends to just acting on a phone call and calling it a day, it doesn't. Arresting some people for something which turned out to be false isn't that much of an issue, unless the arrest itself is actually violent (e.g. SWATting)

In most countries in the world people are pre-emptively detained if there's an uncertain and unclear risk. They are then investigated and usually either released or detention extended within a day.

So far, the printing press is responsible for more deaths than AI.

The printing press was invented at a time when safety standards were virtually non-existent, a time where workers were largely expendable, and most products of the day ended up killing people in some way or another. If the printing press were invented in it original form today it would be outright instantly banned and the creator thrown in jail for gross negligence. Sam-Altman would statistically not be alive given he's now 6 years older than the average life expectancy of a person around the time the printing press was invented.

In modern times under modern workplace laws, printing press deaths are non-existent for all but the most seriously of stupid accidents.

But really I like the point you're making. AI doesn't have moral agency and it's use determines liability, that's your point right? So let's thrown Sam-Altman in jail. After all he ran a company that engaged in an active cyber attack against competitors, governments, and released a product to people with so few guardrails that they themselves can't seem to keep it under control.

Comment Anonymous tip (Score 1) 103

If the cops receive an anonymous tip that CowboyNeal is an insensitive clod, and then decide to arrest him without checking out any of the evidence, I blame the cops. There's plenty to bitch about with Flock but "the cops don't care about doing their job" isn't one of them. That's a cop problem.

Don't treat any stupid robots as somehow "better" than an anonymous tip called in from a payphone. It's just, like, something's opinion, man.

Shinyhunters is an AI masquerading as a teen. Do you want to change your answer?

As "a teen"? The funny thing about stupid people (such as yourself) is that when you post bullshit it is so easily verifiable as such. Even if it was AI, there have already been multiple members of ShinyHunters arrested around the world, some of which admitted to being members of the group, and who thus far have not been teens.

I do want to change my answer:
Before: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit.
After: Fuck all the way off with your crime excusing bullshit and be less of a retard.

Most people nowadays don't own any kind of radio besides what is in their car.

What people do is irrelevant. Emergency preparedness should be taught, and not fostered on people in a completely insufficient way that may actually get them killed. Heck this could work against actual emergency response by teaching the people who have no forethought "Oh I have a car which does AM, I don't need this."

Most houses lack the legal minimum number of smoke detectors. We need to educate rather than accept societies
