And my main argument is that corporations can do better. We should not put the burden on the common folks when the ones who are in the positions to do something are not pulling their weight. Sure, this will reduce their profit, and probably their share prices, and as a result, dev's compensation. Maybe that is the hardest part to argue through.

The cost to develop a drug is in the billions. Manufacturing costs are in the tens to hundreds of millions. Locking down some server and implement better security would be a drop in a bucket.

And even if it was more expensive, the biggest pharma megacorps are a fraction of the size of the like of tech megacorps. If the chumps down the street can do it as a side job, why can't the big boys whose entire business is supposedly about data and software can't do better?

Would these companies leak their own business critical documents? No. So why can't they be forced to treat sensitive customer's data the same way?

It is such a pathetic state of affair where massive leaks like these are expected. I contend this is a result of lax regulation and lack of consequences. In healthcare, patient data are locked down so hard even people who need to work with them have problems getting to them. It is because of regulations. Everything is traceable, recorded, and maintained to the strictest standards possible. It costs a huge amount of money but as a result, we don't see many serious breaches.

Compared it to fintech and regular tech services, these guys make fuckton of profits and yet suffer almost no regulations. What a joke.

Massive scaling down would be required, and we would need to "liquidate" a lot of bloodsacks if the loss of power and internet is permanent.

Seriously though, I don't know how effective this is. What they did appeared to be flooding the tissue with "young blood" and observe the changes in epigenetics markers. These markers are basically conditional if/else depending on the environment so maybe there is something in the plasma that cause them to change. One thing that would be interesting to test is how fast for the tissues to switch back to the "old" forms once the plasma treatment stops.

But the outcome of its action is irrefutable. It plays and does things better better than us. That is all we need to evaluate it on. I know that the topic is about "sentience" but my point is we are evaluating a complete alien being using human's standards. Of course we will see that it is lacking. It isn't human.

In the same way, letting an AI actually touch and interact with the world would do wonders in grounding it and making sure it understand concepts beyond just the words or the bytes it was fed during training. GPT4 can already understand images and text, it should not be long until it takes care of videos and we can say AI has vision. This robot from toyota would have touch. We need hearing and smelling and then maybe we will get something resembling a true AGI.

In a way, everyone know of the US because everyone needs Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. When you talk about Huawei, you acknowledge China as a powerhouse in phone and tech. When you mention TSMC, you have to remember about Taiwan. etc.

A relationship should be of give and take. You are expected to put effort into maintaining it but the same thing is asked of your partner. Sometimes, one of you will forget or too busy and neglect it. A good couple will accept that and be positive by still putting in their due for some time while the other should notice it and try to fix their issue. A bad relationship, prone to breakup, will have one of the two demanding or questioning why the other is not showering me with love anymore while doing nothing to deserve that love.

China is banning Apple for the government officials. They aren't banning Apple from selling in China. And even when Huawei still had access to US tech, their phones were not a serious threat to iPhone. Apple's ecosystem force its user to basically stay within Apple. Moving out is a really painful process. Not to mention we still don't know how much Huawei can scale this. I doubt they have the capacity of TSMC even on the 7nm

This is literally an entire paper about constructing a specific incantation to create an effect. Neither the author nor the LLM maker can completely deconstruct and trace every steps of the process from the input to the output. They only know how to chant a litany, add a request, chant another litany, then look at the output and hope they didn't summon Satan.

If science is truly and completely uncensored, lots of accepted cultural norms would be completely flipped over, including things that people have long considered "settled" or treated as facts. Alas, people just want to hear what they like and the grants are allocated as such. Part of the reason lots of people are disillusioned with academia and go to the industry instead. You can have strong evidences supporting your hypothesis but the court of public opinion does not care one bit about the science. They only want someone agreeing with them.

I wonder if this is the reason behind all of this.

Edit: the study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2308.13449.pdf

I said the state government leans right and the local government leans left and they balance out. Which is exactly the case why there is a lawsuit right now which they may win.

Your dishonest argument is just pathetic and honestly made the cause you support looks like trash.

Food and water and medical attention were provided. Consent was obtained. Nobody was forced on the bus. Autopsy was inconclusive. This happened once in 30,000. Those are facts.

If the child died because she was put in an air-conditioned vehicle with food and water, then not much would have changed if she was to stay at the detainment facility where condition is just the same.

Here is a little-known fact you probably don't know: migrants choose which destination they want to go to, i.e. which bus they will board. Many of them took the bus voluntarily because they want to get to other cities for cheap and the bus is basically free. It is almost a public service for them. At the bus destination, often there will be arrangements to accommodate them, either by connecting them to their family, providing assistance, or routing to other destinations of their choice. Did you know that or you thought they were herded like cattle on a bus and dropped off in unknown locations that they know nothing about?
