Yeah that would make it hard to accomplish. I can see the crux of the problem there. Encrypted Geo-tagged packets? Sniff out the IPs providing routing. Down them too? Hard to get it to stop when you can't sue the offender, or charge them criminally. Watching that prick get fatter while his people starve is very distasteful. To see them pilfer our money just to fund his own lavish lifestyle, while still starving his people, is worse.

If AI knows the material, but you don't, then why would anyone be insane enough to hand you a scalpel and say "Get to cutting on me" ? Its nuts. In medical, I say you really should personally KNOW the material, and know it well. AI cannot fly the 1500+ hours you need to certify you for a commercial Helicopter pilots license, and shouldn't be able to nullify the 1500+ class hours you'll likely sit to learn how not to kill someone on the operating table. That is why I point out medical specifically. I agree with its "Tool" status in almost all other scenarios. But, some things, you just need to "Know" or you shouldn't be doing them at all. Just sayin.

Get these to make life less advertisey and Bullshitty... uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, Ghostery, and Tampermonkey... Website blocker is also good for blocking push sites. YOU should be the one in control of what code IS and IS NOT allowed to run on YOUR PC. I could give a crap about a ToS. The ToS in my PC, is I DECIDE what runs, and what doesn't ;-)

A physical layer switched backup, with 4-8 Air-Gapped nightly backups, and proper IT setup on the frontend (Proper firewall, no holes, encrypt everything, no raw text PWs or CCNs, etc), and most Cybersecurity issues are mitigated beyond the ability to do real damage. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.printables.com%2Fmod... This design is free to use, and has silenced EVERY IT CUSTOMER I have had repeated ransomware issues with for over ten years now. Combine this with a good second layer Cybersecurity Contractor/Watchdog, and follow best practices for company IP security and internal documentation, and life is good. Insurance will never stop the loss of customers business and trust after a breech or ransomware attack shuts you down for weeks to months trying to rebuild that data. Head it off at the pass. Physical layer switch saves your bacon. ;-)

I'm all for it. Research, language structure, proofing and editing, etc... But for Medical students, and anything associated with medicine and biology, getting caught using AI to cheat should result in expulsion. Otherwise you end up with inept doctors / nurses / dentists / chiropractors / surgeons, that are in the Operating theater looking shit up while you bleed out on a table. Unacceptable in those professions. Your full and total isolation from the internet for the Final, should also be absolute. If you don't know the material, you have no business working on living people. Beyond that, its a tool. Like a calculator. And WILL serve to speed us up in some ways, and dumb us down in others. Unavoidable.

Belonging to the nation of NK, should be totally cut off from the wider world until such time as human rights are recognized within the nation. Dear Fat Leader, should be CUT OFF from the wider world. He is a petulant child who tortures a whole nation like a kid killing ants with a magnifying glass...

When an AI physician, and CRISPR, could live-correct DNA damage from cancer with just an outpatient visit. An actual cure...Never to return in your lifetime. Its possible. Of all the bad it could bring, true AGI/ASI, could also bring us miracles beyond our hopes and dreams. May Roddenberry's dream someday be realized, and may money and greed, fade to absolute abundance and prosperity. Responsible Technology, is the way forward to that Future. (In my opinion)
