The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • I don't feel it is. They aren't saying that their physical requirements should be free (computers, engineers, programmers, electricity, etc...) which is what is being used for the analogy (cheese, ingredients, etc...).

    It would be better to claim "I run a sandwich shop and couldn't afford to run it if I had to pay for every recipe, idea, and technique I use in the business."

    Now, it's not as simple as this, and I'm not claiming it is. But this example isn't anywhere near correct. It's like the old claim that pirating something is the same as stealing it. The usage on one thing doesn't equal the loss of something physical.

    It's one of those reasons why laws about this are difficult. Too strict and no one would be able to do "fan"-anything and many other issues ("if it uses AI" takes out many digital tools, etc...), too loose and you don't really have laws at all.

    School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.
  • school-issued machines

    Stopped reading right there. Whenever you are issued a device, you should immediately assume it's being monitored by the owner of the device. This goes for school/job/etc. The owner of the device will always be monitoring it for reasons of making sure you are using the device for intended purpose to making sure you aren't using it for illegal purposes.

  • So what you're saying is the biggest companies like Amazon, Google, ChatGPT, etc... can't perfect voice dictation when I'm talking directly and clearly to my device, but this company has been able to figure it out. And doing it while hiding from the smartphone OS that it's doing it. While the device is at a distance/hidden in my pocket. And is using it just to sell ads.

  • It wasn't a debate not because I wanted a thesis, it's because all you wanted was to troll. Your entire comment was "lol, trust me bro. Here's a well known lie to back me up". And you were terrible at it. Go back to Reddit.

  • Debate is over? You come here, attempt very poor attempt of a flood of BS, and call that a debate? 🤡

    Bonus points for linking to the well known and debunked "claim" that macs are cheaper over the long term than Windows. Wow, that sad attempt took me back (and I knew you'd use it). I can see you never looked into that claim. It claims that Windows needed AV, a $100+ a year, but macOS some mhow doesn't, even though macOS malware was on the rise even then. Combined with how they claimed half the enterprise security suites somehow weren't needed for macOS showed it wasn't a serious attempt (a lot like your messages).

  • And you had anything beyond saying it to back it up.

    Hardware I've already proven, you, well... You made something up and hoped for the best.

    Software, as we are talking more about macOS at the beginning, it's a joke that you are claiming macOS has more and various software than Windows. There is a reason even Apple uses Windows and not macOS.

    Security, again, you made a quick claim and nothing to back it up. But here is a list of iOS exploits just from 2022-2023.

    User friendliness: this reeks of desperation. And has been proven in the past to be wrong, but keep trolling. I'll keep laughing 🤣

  • First batch don't have anything to do with what can get you arrested.

    Beyond that, a crime of passion is legally defined as:

    In criminal law, a crime of passion is a crime committed in the "heat of passion" or in response to provocation, as opposed to a crime that was premeditated or deliberated.

    Premeditated murder though is:

    Premeditation is when an individual contemplates, for any length of time, the undertaking of an activity and then subsequently takes the action.

    As for too drunk to consent, you can read "Victim Intoxication and Capacity to Consent in Sexual Assault Statutes across the United States"

    The result is the same, when you are dealing with a legal matter, you need real definitions, or you have laws that are too vague and overly ripe for abuse. It becomes the legal roulette of "is the cup half full or half empty" with someones life and/or future in the balance
