So resistance against genocide is bad but the genocide is fine? There are clear good and bad guys here.

That’s not the same app as posted which is for iOS.

Anyone can override if needed, not just emergency personnel.

However that is not permissible here. Airplanes are similar to trains, you have to stop and wait and there are no exceptions.

Even so, the exceptions don't nullify the rule: find a better way to investigate, citizen rights > all else.

Countries AND the government exist for and at the pleasure of their respective citizens.

YouTube’s algorithm was pretty great back in the day but it was so easy to get lost forever on it.

Now I worry there’s too many “interests” forcing curated and sanitized content on us with no room for outliers.

Still makes no sense as they’d lose revenue, data, and scale if they don’t subsidize.

It posits that the tools at their disposal will be far more powerful and wide reaching than just Gmail or even modern social networks.

The good ol' AGI and then ASI singularity everyone likes to talk about. To be fair, it is possible.

The license is clearly defined. It would be misleading, possibly fraudulent for them to then override the license elsewhere.

Simply, it's MIT licensed. If they want to change that, they have to remove that license file OR clearly update it to be a modified version of MIT.

As Office Space says: it is a question of motivation.

If you care, it'll get done. If you don't, you'll find a way to slack off, even if you're at the office.

Yes. It's not like the model can spy on you, so if the model performs well on premise then it will be suitable irrespective of the origin.

Small reactors have been done by NASA, among many other organizations, for decades.

Also uranium is not as radioactive or lethal as you'd think in this case. It can be sent there safely and without issue.

Also reactors can be MSR (molten salt reactor) greatly reducing water needs.

Only consequences, physically speaking the two are not the same at all.

Copying of anything digital is not actual theft, nor will it ever be.
