Seems like a head-mounted camera is fine under this ban, though, as long as it isn't also covert?
FTFY. The issue at hand is that it's a hidden camera.

Why is it so easy to ask ChatGPT how best to kill people?
The interface is in natural written language which is the selling point of the whole thing. Additionally, it's not actually intelligent so it is not cognizant of anything much less the harm the information may cause.
Bottom line: it's just a machine.
In Canada someone used ChatGPT to plan a mass shooting. It was detected and the account was shut down, but it was decided not to report it to police. She went on to kill 8 people in a school shooting and herself.
We can't actually know if the scenario was a plan or a precautionary measure, you know, safety first.
However, what we know for sure is that she went on a mass shooting after her account was suddenly closed without explanation. This is exactly why they shouldn't shut down someone's account without providing them with a clear a rationale!
now that's a throwback!
you end up with so many adjustable terms that your model could predict many things.
FTFY.
It seems wiser to identify what could be possible before claiming what is impossible.
it's slow as hell.
I believe the issues is that for whatever reason they wrote this thing in typescript so it runs with Electron. Not only that, they are now merging the desktop client into their "web client" which mean it's a fucking web page.
With this in mind, I fully understand the nonconstructive criticisms.
I feel like these AI processes should be launched as a separate unprivileged user and group. Only when you change the file permissions should they be able to access your files. This avoids possible flaws in agent interfaces and hands off the responsibility to the OS. Why are simple solutions like this so hard to grasp?
They don't like the truth and would prefer to make reality just another narrative they can dismiss so pointing things out doesn't work either,
Absolutely. There other irksome comment I hear is "scientists will figure it out" because I want to scream that they have figured it out but you didn't like the answer.
Frankly, things might be fucked up in society now but it's only a taste of the chaos to come and people will wonder what they "did to deserve it" not realizing that they have done everything to deserve it.
It's also multi generational - I guess the younger ones have realised it's so fucked, might as well join em.
No, not in the least because it's not a generational issue, it's a species issue. They have the exact same mindset as their parents.
Have no doubt, when this finally personally impacts them they will be outraged and demanding to know why "nobody" (everyone but themselves) didn't do something to prevent it. You start drilling down and they'll tell you that they didn't think it would be that bad. The bright patch in all of this is that the people who are going to be impacted are just as selfish and egocentric as the people that caused it..
I think SI is a fine title because despite all tricks it can do, it still fails in basic ways that even idiots don't. As such, Subpar Intelligence is the title it has earned. I don't need anyone telling me about hypothetical futures because I'm talking about right-damn-now.
If we want to stop this, billionaires must go
No, it's far too late for that. If you want to stop this then you actually have to clean up the atmosphere. Also, billionaires are merely part of of the problem.
Here's the core problem: human psychology.
You see, every fucking one of you idiots points at big corporations and billionaires as being whole the problem and completely disown your own actions. Nearly everyone makes some excuse to avoid getting an EV and not a single damn person is willing to make any sacrifice.
The natural defensive response is "why should I make any sacrifices when corps are polluting way more?" The answer is simple answer: even if corps stop polluting, you are still polluting and you keep doing it while pointing fingers. Air pollution is kills and people keep buying and using their polluting products.
Before accuse me of "simping" for asshole billionaires, I'm not absolving anyone. What I am doing is condemning 98% of humanity for being the selfish short-sighted assholes that they have always been. I know this because even my friends make stupid excuses and when I ask if they have inquired about solutions they tell me the equivalent of "that' takes too much effort" so they buy new ICE cars, keep buying shit off amazon, and using AI for stupid tasks.
I'm doing everything I can to change the path forward but I know it's a futile effort because humanity is almost entirely short-sighted egocentric idiots.
It's not an understatement to say this a break of national security. Everyone involved with the deception needs to be sent to federal prison for this.
This is the guy who fired the Army's Chief of Staff who was championing a battalion drone unit that was drawing on experience from the Ukrainian army and learning how to operate on a modern battlefield. In addition, the former commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa was also in full support of this unit, but he too was fired by Hegseth.
One of the reasons Hegseth fired both generals was because he wanted to "refocus" to "help ensure the army revives the warrior ethos, rebuilds for the modern battlefield and deters our enemies around the world."
Well golly gee, that sounds exacly like what the drone battaltion was doing until you got rid of it then fired all the generals who supported it and put in your lackey. Now comes this announcement.
Now we're being told of this new command.
