People hated flash. Even non techies.

The key is that there is a very low cost resolution tribunal, and the penalties for evicting improperly are incredibly harsh (12 months rent to be paid to the tenant in cash).

What does it have to do with Brazilian academia?

I can think of a half dozen ways that can get abused. Remember that in the states policing is decentralized. There is always some department somewhere willing to abuse their power. Look at how flock has been used to stalk partners, or how geofencing was used to sweep up everyone in the area of a protest, or how stingray is used to listen to all calls in an area. This is opening up avenues of abuse for almost no benefit.

I wouldn’t sweat the broken fridge either though, there’s so many other electrical appliances in the house to use.

Best of luck.

Sucks that we’re stuck as parents running an experiment on children where the only beneficiaries are corporations, and there is no correct answer.

Publications love a doom and gloom rant, which is why he seems to have built an entire career on hysterical anti-ai screeds. It doesn’t mean that he’s right though.

I ran a summer camp for teenagers. They know how to get around that stuff if they want. They know how to hide it from their parents to keep access.

You’ll do far better to explain how these things are harmful, and help them make decisions that are healthy.

Below a certain age I’m sure it works for a time, but you will eventually have to find a balance.

That’s why parents want bans. Their kids are going to go where the other kids are. If they are all banned on instagram, they won’t care about finding a way onto a platform where none of their friends are.

It’s clear you aren’t interested in a good faith conversation. Thanks for the discourse either way.

The SP500 did not waive the rules, and that made above the fold news this week, because it is a major blow to the big IPOs happening this month since they are valued so high. It will be harder for them to move stock if the massive index funds aren’t buying automatically. The big IPOs this month are asking for prices that demand hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars of liquidity. Index funds are automatic liquidity, but only if you are on the index.

They didn’t ask them to change long standing rules for shits and giggles.

I’m not going to cite sources for a major financial news story that is being extensively covered in the financial and general press.

This deal has been pushed hard to be included prematurely in the indexes to the point that Nasdaq changed the rules.

The accusation is that these changes were made so that index funds will buy this stock automatically far earlier than they would have previously. Given the… uh… astronomical asking price, it looks like SPCEX is meant for Elon stans and institutional index investors to be the bag holders.

An air conditioner is technology so dumb that it can be used to kill an infant with hypothermia.

A human is a sentient being so dumb that it can be made to believe in things far more outlandish than a “Google mushroom”.

I can keep going. The point is that just about anything useful can do something dangerous or stupid. Most people can see that. Most people are more interested in how useful something can be, not how useless it is when intentionally misused.

That demonstration is interesting, but not really something new. Fooling very intelligent people into believing something completely absurd is incredibly easy. How many scientific papers have been retracted based on wholesale fabrications that fooled an entire review committee?

The question isn't "What is the dumbest thing I can do with this technology?" its "What is the most valuable thing I can do with this technology?"

I'm optimistic that the demand for AI accessibility will drive programmatic interfaces in places where companies were previously reluctant to.
