Would this not also be assuming that these principals do not apply to systems crafted by humans?

Also, by poking and prodding it with ever changing variables, and coding it in such a way as to attempt to adapt and account for that, are we not providing it with a type of that evolutionary pressure? Without physical form, what would "Pressure" look like? What form would it take? Food for thought.

But that same pressure is not applied in the formation of planets, galaxies, and likely wasn't present at the emergence of life. I think that it is always acting, and that this is why it's existence was found in a petri dish with inert chemicals. And can also be seen in a lab setting with simple floating magnets. The property is always acting. Seemingly to increase the "Order" in the system to counteract the entropy within that same system. This tendency towards complexity, is likely what lead to not only life, but consciousness as well. And I still believe that our technology is far from immune to its influence, and that the chance of unintended emergence of a consciousness, regardless of evolutionary pressure, is quite possible, and even likely.

That WE may not actually end up being responsible for emergence. And that self-organization, after our tech reaches the necessary level of complexity to allow it, will do it for us... And likely not in a controllable/preferable way. It is highly unlikely that the inherent property of the universe that is self-organization, will stop at our tech because "We made it" Food for thought...

Never said any of that. And absolutely none of it, changes his current relationship with "Daddy". Not hatin, just pointing it out. ;-D

Someone has never heard of a bonus... What do you think the richest men in the world give one another? Cufflinks? LoL

Elon gets a billion dollar bonus from daddy. Got it ;-)

Now EVERYONE can play after the sale games with the things you own! YAY! /Sarc Off...

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.

So you want your surgeon to "Phone a friend" while you lay dying on the Operating table? That doesn't seem logical in even a small way.

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.

It effectively blocked the "Paywall" LoL ;-P

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.
