The word "Men" was gender neutral long before it became masculine, and Armstrong did not take "one giant leap for peoplekind".

More seriously, I should have capitalized the "M" to make clear that it was Men, as in Mankind, but this is the internet in 2026 and most people are only semi-literate. I'm not certain it would have helped.

Especially if someone wants to be offended. You just can't stop them if that was their goal going into it.

Only in a world where the other party has no agency. In real life the other party raises prices on their exports to compensate for the supply chain disruption and they still get the items.

Ultimately the consumer pays more, the extra goes the government, and the net impact is just obfuscated taxation and a reduction in both supply and demand that's bad for the economy and other living things.

I'm not affiliated, I just like his style and have found it handy. I know it's not very rigorous, but it's good enough for me and I've found his examples to pretty closely match the results I see in real life.

As I said, I haven't watched Legal Eagles full video, but I don't like that ever since that video came out everyone on the internet tries to correct anyone who uses the phrase even in it's colloquial sense. Maybe the source video covers the nuance (I wouldn't know), but the folks on the internet "umm acshually"ing everyone seldom do.

You are authorized to do what the user agreed to, no more. Further the agreement must be reasonable. Exploiting the victims system to intentionally cause harm isn't reasonable.

F-secure once included a clause to use their wifi that you "assign their first born child to us for the duration of eternity." It was funny, but not legally enforceable and would have offered them no legal shelter if they'd gone out on a kidnapping spree that night.

They literally use that example in the decision. Quote: "The example usually given by those who would punish speech is the case of one who falsely shouts fire in a crowded theatre.

This is, however, a classic case where speech is brigaded with action. ... They are indeed insep- arable and a prosecution can be launched for the overt acts actually caused. Apart from rare instances of that kind, speech is, I think, immune from prosecution."[0]

That is to say, shouting fire in a crowded theater with the intent to cause harm is actually one of the few cases were it actually would be illegal based on that decision.

Whether it was via prompt injection or SQL injection is irrelevant. Whether you agree with his politics or not is irrelevant. All that matters is he wasn't authorized to delete code from your system, and he abused the level of access granted to him to do that anyhow.

If they emulate reasoning well enough that it gets the same or better results what is the difference? Semantics? I can't help but wonder if you dont percieve what they do as reasoning because its different from the way you reason?

Humans fall for the Nigerian scam still. We all have blind spots but that doesnt imply we're all completely blind.

Agency is harder to define, but most any definition I can come up with LLM's meet. Again, I'm curious how you define it in a way that excludes frontier models but doesn't also exclude many humans.

The exact opposite is true. Countries with the highest SSRI use have the lowest mass shooting rates. The evidence doesn't lie. Politicians do.

That said, this thing is in real production use with war fighters, doctors, and financial experts. Just YOLO'ing to a dumber model midway through a multi-step process and pretending everything is fine is not a real or defensible option. Someone is going to die, and its going to be the fault of whoever decided to make this the default rather than opt-in.

Personally, I couldn't live with myself.

It's meant to evoke that feeling in an adult man whose long since stopped being aware of his own smallness.

I think it does a remarkable job of it.

Use whatever tool does the job, and own it if you use the wrong tool and it sucks.
