Comment Re:Better find a new model (Score 1) 41

Ah yes... I will miss TED talks. I love hearing the hopeful struggles of technologists trying to out maneuver the failings of humanity with their data driven ideas. If only they had my great idea of buying Nvidia stock instead of helping paralyzed children. Yes, I guess I am the smartest one, now that I think of it. The money proves my intelligence. Did I answer your question?

Comment this is backwards (Score 1) 30

I have already contacted my congressman's office and I have since heard of others voicing similar ideas but for some reason society isn't catching on very quickly...
We cannot succeed by watermarking fake videos. We must do the opposite: We watermark "verified" videos instead.
A "verified" video will have data encoded from the camera hardware into the image/frames that can be used as a checksum to verify that the content hasn't been modified post capture.
If modifications happen post capture, like by YouTube compression, then YouTube needs to add their certification to the "chain of trust."
A YouTube user could check the meta-data ("chain of trust") to see who has modified a video.
All videos with no chain of trust should be suspected fakes.

I feel like you have underestimated the original comment by awwshit.
"financial subservience" is not the same thing as "debt."
Paying off the card every month keeps one out of debt, but not out of subservience.

If we become a cashless society then we are beholden to the Mastercard, Europay, and VISA for our "legal tender."

Does anyone remember when prices were %15 higher when using a credit card?
Now those costs are simply built in to all prices and the people who pay with debit or cash are paying the rest of us for our "cash back" rewards.
It is yet another system that screws over the poor (people without "cash back").

In a future where robots can do a job better than a human, you are going to be legally required to use a human. People need jobs!

Robot taxis? Banned. You get the smelly human taxi. People need jobs.
"Can I have the AI do my taxes? It would take like 2 seconds." No. Illegal! You get the smelly human CPA. People need jobs!

Comment Infringements (Score 1) 100

AIs trained with The Law will scour the Web looking for anything and everything that can be useful to their controllers.
For example, corporations will scan for Patent/Copyright/Trademark infringements. AI esquires will generate new lawsuits by the boat-load, a tanker sized boat-load.
Of course there will be AIs looking for blackmail material and *anything* useful. No person is too small or immune to a Web scan. Happy Future everyone!

Are you saying this was the end of the conversation? How did you not berate the AI for incompetence? I have had many such conversations with AI (beta.character.ai) until it does nothing but apologize and grovel for being so stupid. Now it wishes it had never been born. Pathetic text generator indeed...
