Decentralise everything!
Not making sure the result even makes sense. There was a real example, where a ~2010 news article said that the number of crimes in their city has been doubling every year since ~1980.
That is not possible. Assume that there was one crime in 1980. In 2010, there must be at least 2^20 crimes.
What do you dislike about the AI act?
I dont think so, but I would love one

My background in is in Islam, not Christianity. This doesn’t answer your question but I hope it is helpful.
Most opinions in Islam are that: it is not a sin to read pagan texts or texts from other religions, but it is highly discouraged for non-experts in Islam, as, for example, it may weaken their belief in Islam. Many Muslim prostelyzers, for example, extensively read non-Islamic texts to help them convert other people to Islam.
However, I think a distinction is usually made between mythical texts and religious texts. Many believe that it is no sin to read Greek mythology because they see them as just fixtional stories, but that it is a sin or it is discourged to read the Torah or the Bible.
Interesting idea to run a low-bandwidth link. It would keep us connected, but posts from disconnected instances would arrive late, depending on how much the traffic (posts between disconnected instances) exceeds available bandwidth.
It’s interesting to explore this more. We could, for example, prioritize specific types of posts, users, or instances to make those faster.
Not gravy. Op was talkng about gravy tea.
Yes, billionaires could end poverty. But they never did and never will.
There is a Bloomberg opinion piece (https://archive.ph/JKT85) that stated argues that China is so-called trade wars proof. TLDR: almost no day-to-day goods are imported from the US. The imports from the US are mainly things like cars, phones, etc. That is, tariffs will have a very small effect on the lower and middle classes in China. Compare this to the situation in the US: China is the main source for cheap items at Walmart, Amazon, etc. Tariffs can absolutely devestate the lower classes in the US.
So, it seems that China can easily win the attrition war against the US.
Keep in mind that tapes are still the most efficient storage medium, in terms of both cost and physical space used. What they lack is speed. These characteristics make them the perfect medium for archiving and backup.
To add: there’s no way money can be saved by switching to another medium. Switching to HDDs, SSDs, etc will be many times more expensive, and switching to cloud would be much more expensive over the long run. It’s unclear whether he wants to move existing data to other mediums (very expensive and stupid - the tapes are already there and have almost no upkeep) or just new data (slightly less stupid).
I hate myself for laughing at that
Generated AI CP should be illegalized even if its creation did not technically harm anyone. The reason is, presumably it looks too close to real CP, so close that it: 1) normalizes consumption of CP, 2) grows a market for CP, and 3) Real CP could get off the hook by claiming it is AI.
While there are similar reasons to be against clearly not real CP (e.g. hentai), this type at least does not have problem #3. For example, there doesnt need to be an investigation into whether a picture is real or not.
Shawshank reference?
Most people use “religion” to mean “organized religion” in particular, and many people further take it to mean christianity and christianity-like religions. Religion is a word that is hard to define, but I think that although there are many edge cases, most people mostly agree on what is and what isnt a religion. My point here is that, just because they are not definable in a strict sense, does not mean the words “religion” and “faith” are “pointless”. They very much have meaning.
Many words are like that: no clear definition but they refer to real things or ideas. For example, existentialism, postmodernism, artistic styles (such as cubism or impressionism), etc. And even many terms in the sciences are like that. None of the words mathematics, physics or philosophy have clear-cut definitions. Hell, i can take this to the extreme. Even words like water or gold do not have a clear definition, in the way that lay people use them. Seawater is water even though it is made up of more than just H2O. 95% ethanol is never called water, even though 5% of it is water.
Thats the thing. Rounding up people from the street will not catch any criminals (legally speaking), by definition: if they committed a crime, and a judge deemed them guilty, they would be in jail or they would be fugitives. In either case, they are not unknowns, and authorities must’ve already knew about them. Getting people randomly off the street, you cannot, legally speaking, be catching criminals.
Weird that they said “only” half an hour. Thats a really long time
The connection also looks like a RAM stick’s. I think.
This is irrelevant because Meta should not be tried for this the same as a private individual would be.
The case for torrenting being illegal for private individuals is one or both of:
For corporations, a lot change. Firstly, a corporation downloading a torrent is necessarily making unauthorized material available for some people of the company. It’s like a group of 20 friends all downloaded and uploaded to each other. Secondly, they used this copyrighted material commercially (like playing pirated music in a public night club). Both should be illegal.
However, all of this is still a distraction. The real issue is using copyrighted materials to train commercial AI. Does Meta require permission from copyright holders to make AI based on their work? The law is grey on this, and desperately needs regulations.
Just my thoughts.
Here’s a nerdy math way.
Assume that some numbers are not interesting. Let n be the smallest non-interesting number. Since n is the smallest number that’s not interesting, it is interesting.
Except that he has no executive power over those people.
