It seems that some people are able to disable the indicator light.

Though I see that Meta are trying to make disabling difficult:

Porsche Taycan? Audi RS e-tron GT? Lotus Emeya? MG Cyberster? JMEV SC01? Qiantu K20? Yangwang U9? Denza Z?

People are still using metal keys to open and start cars?

Every speed is safe until it suddenly isn’t. But by then it is too late.

An aspect that I’m not seeing discussed here (which you touch upon) is that these companies have bred the dogs. If they breed a pit bull instead of a labrador and then set it loose, it increases their culpability. I have to ask, how do the agents know how to do this backing? Is it emergent behaviour or were they trained to do it? If they were trained for it then it can hardly be surprising when they do indeed go and hack when asked to complete a task.

If they are a year from AGI, then the private investors can hang on and use their new super intelligence on their own tasks to make themselves considerably more wealthy now and into the future, so why would they want to sell that power to anyone else?

New comment by Smoosh in "Brain does not process information and it is not a computer (2016)"

I’m reminded of a television show at the end of the 1970s, The Body in Question written and presented by Dr Jonathan Miller. In one episode he explains how through history our understanding of the human body has always been shaped by or recent technological advances, such as steam engines, the automated loom etc.

We now try to understand the brain and the human mind in terms of computers, and of course that only gives us a poor analog of reality which may somewhat assist with understanding it, but which may hinder our more complete understanding.

So I’m going to be highly skeptical.

Remember a few years ago when electric vehicles were “impossible” because they would place too much strain on the grid?

When it was the USA doing it, leading the world in manufacturing, taking industry from other countries, that was just good business, efficiency, exceptionalism, and the world would have to accept it. Now that it is someone else taking the lead, it’s wrong and unfair and a very bad thing.

The article could also have referenced The Dictator in which many words are ordered to be changed to Aladeen, which we have seen with the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario.

Interesting. I wonder if that also applies to small groups of people on social media?

The USA provided an excellent example for us to learn from. But I do wonder if this cancer of corruption has already spread worldwide and is too powerful to stop the well financed populism through which it spreads.
