Ah I see you're releasing OpenAI from being the one controlling the tools and giving the agent agency.

I'd argue they intentionally accessed systems they weren't meant to as they were the ones running the bots.

I don't think you or I would get the same leniency if a bot on our network did the same.

That's not really true. Unauthorized access to a system is a crime regardless if there was damage.

I think they meant it more as

"Let parents decide if their kids can use this tool and have them prevent access to it if not."

I love this but "Follow us on Instagram!" is maybe a little counterproductive.

> Thankfully the supreme court seems to agree here in two ways

I'm sure we're a golden statue or private jet away from the supreme court having a change of heart there.

Just pointing out there are skews depending on one's general leaning as well as it excludes about 30% of Americans who aren't registered to vote.

Hey bud - maybe stop posting about "the Chinese threat" for a little bit.

From the latest month of that poll

Overall: 56% Republicans: 77% Independents: 53% Democrats: 37%

Which only polls registered voters not all Americans. So that 55% number isn't exactly as representative as one might believe.

Over and over and over and over again it has been shown that there is no meaningful voter fraud whatsoever. Stop watching Fox News or as I see below reading yahoo news lol

I hate these comments. What meaningful thing is this person supposed to do?

In the US, the government is _owned_ by corporations. To pretend otherwise is naive.

I think the last point isn't quite the same as the others. A proper comparison would be a human programmer to an LLM prompt. Both of those things are non-deterministic (people get sick, get stuck on things, have bad days) that produce deterministic things (code).

I'm not an AI fanboy and am trying to figure this all out for myself but I do think the framing of a shifting landscape is apt. The difference is that LLMs are (maybe? probably?) going to revolutionize just about every white collar sector.

Of course you can, just you likely won't get any sympathy in the large number of cases where the public or government doesn't agree with you (police, abortion clinics).

In this case looks like the people agree with destroying these things.

Violence is increasingly the only path forward in America.

I think the extrajudicial use of these types of surveillance is an illegitimate use of power and thus fine to be destroyed.

I come from a military family - supporting soldiers and the policies of an administration are two different things. The commenter is correct in that our war in Iran has nothing to do with our freedom and everything about pushing the political agenda of a foreign country.
