I would like to have the imagination that would let me come up with schemes like that. It would never occur to me to make money off of gun violence. American capitalist are something else...

So you're telling me you don't have a bunch of tux stickers?

LLMs don't sort or organize data. Machine learning can do it but LLMs specifically only generate text. I think that's the whole point. People confuse machine learning with LLMs. Machine learning can do amazing things in many industries. Companies creating dedicated products using machine learning can make money. LLMs themselves can do very little and huge valuations of companies like OpenAI don't make much sense.

The thing is, the protections writers won only protected them when working WITH AI. I.e. companies can't hire unionized writers and pay them less because they are using AI. If they can skip the writers all together all those protections go out the window.

I'm not saying this will happen soon or at all. I'm just saying that if the models become capable or generating screen ready material the protections writers won won't matter anymore.

II thin it's actually possible. Normally the argument against is that "AI can't be creative" but when was the last time Hollywood made a creative movie? "Write a script for Spiderman movie. Include origin story. Spiderman will fight Green Goblin. Again.".

Yes, people being dumb is the real source of all issues.

I think the main problem is that IDs accepted by banks are not always valid for voting. I remember that in some state gun permit was valid for voting but student ID wasn't. It's all designed to skew the results just so slightly. Also, 5% of Americans don't have a bank account. In close elections those numbers matter.

He can't get a permit. He doesn't need a permit for a dumpster. That's the whole story.

Well, I guess EU would simply come up with a plan for the automation that will not leave people without any protection. No idea what it would look like but they could for example come up with some legal definition of AI worker, establish mandatory staffing levels (for example 50% of employees must be human until 2040), tax 'salaries' of AI workers and use this revenue to retrain the workforce. We would still end up with automated jobs but it would happen in an organize manner.

Thank you for your service.

This had to be done. How else are you going to explode thousands of innocent children?

What if AI will start contributing to the kernel end ends including AI there?

What about yi''?

I think it's still possible for EU to regulate this and protect workers here. Not in US though.

The worst part is that it usually follows well known cycle of:

• project is estimated at $10b, government assigns $10b
• private companies spend it on consultants and analysis, little gets built
• government agrees to invest another $5b but requires cuts to the initial scope
• with reduced scope projected passengers numbers drop, project is less attractive
• repeat until cost is 1000% of the initial estimate and usefulness is 0. cancel project

Yes and no. Yes, normally you do have a series of institutions overseeing different parts of the government and making sure it acts within the laws but in USA this system is simply broken. In normal countries constitution is the ultimate guarantee and the judiciary 'check's if laws are in accordance with it. The judiciary functions as a independent branch with judges being selected by other judges to the most important roles. In USA supreme court judges are directly selected by the president which totally invalidates the entire system. At the same time, in every other country, it's assumed that party with the majority in the parliament simply has the mandate to govern and (surprise) does govern. They use this majority to do reforms and pass laws. In USA not only the system is designed in a way that does not let the party with majority support actually control the government (electoral college, the senate, election cycle), they also came up with fictional mechanisms to further weaken the ruling party (filibuster). As a result the 'checks and balances' make sure that no true reforms are possible while weakening the judicial oversight and constitutional rights. Worst system you could think of.

They are threatening to fix a problem no other civilised country has? How about actually fixing it? Right, that would be "doing something", kryptonite of every american politician.

Tone police? I simply don't see the point of discussing politics with childish people. I'm simply calm. You're unable to express anything without profanities and insults. But yeah, I will do the grown up thing and simply block you.

No, not really, Most people can simply talk about their different opinions. You act like a child.

You sound angry. Why are you angry? Drink less coffee or something.
