<p>>“We can do neuroscience on A.I. systems in a way that we kind of can’t with humans,” Mr. Long said, in that they “don’t have skulls.” The three jobs Eleos was hiring for would all be machine-learning research scientists who could design and perform experiments.<p>This is pretty interesting! I wouldn't know how easy such "surgery" on LLMs would be to do, if if they do have "knowledge" or "consciousness" as their proponents claim, there could be some profound outcomes from this.</p>

<p>I would have thought that the right to privacy as a fundamental human right would have been sufficient. But apparently not....<p>Equally, there is abundant precedent for forbidding interference with old-fashioned postal communications, that <i>seemingly</i> doesn't translate to electronic communications...</p>

<p>There's a risk of echos of Theranos here. A paper apparently describing this ultrasound approach has been uploaded to arXiv [0]. If so, the resolution demonstrated is nowhere near sufficient to detect small changes to anatomy, let alone monitor them over time. Future developments could obviously improve on that.<p>[0] “Whole Cross-Sectional Human Ultrasound Tomography” <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.00110" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.00110</a></p>

<p>You will notice that the criticism this judgement receives if not for finding Song guilty, even if the sentence is inordinately long for a non-lethal crime with minor wider repercussions.<p>The criticism this judgement receives is the fact that the prosecutors and judge drew these lines of association into a "terrorist organization" so much that even merely possessing literature tangentially related to this non-existent "organization" was deemed a crime worthy of 30 years imprisonment. This is the sort of thinking that sent people to the Soviet Gulags.</p>

<p>It's kind of fact-based that "antifa" is not an organization in the real world.<p>It's as real as claiming that "pro-gun" is an organization, or "anti-pollution" is an organization.<p>The zines are only evidence of Rueda's political opinions, not of intent to carry out a crime.</p>

<p>First, there's no "terrorist organization". Antifa doesn't exist as an organization.<p>Second, the zines cannot be evidence of the crimes committed, i.e. setting off fireworks, and injuring an officer.</p>

<p>I noticed the prominence of celery, which might surprise a modern diner. I had reason some years ago to look into this and the history is interesting. Celery was at one time difficult to cultivate, growing only in select marshlands. In the absence of refrigeration it was also difficult to transport to city diners, so was considered a delicacy.<p>This also lead to the production of specific table items intended to display celery such as the vase shown in the menus above.<p><a href="https://slicesofbluesky.com/celery-restaurant-menus/" rel="nofollow">https://slicesofbluesky.com/celery-restaurant-menus/</a></p>

<p>This is referred to as shifting the Overton window.

<p>A system as above would matter only to sites that <i>want</i> children among their audience.<p>Those that don't, or don't care, would not seek a rating, and would not be accessible to devices that parents control. Otherwise they would be free to host whatever legal content they wish.</p>

<p>Mixed content would have to be tagged as such.<p>Mixed content isn't a problem for broadcast TV or newspapers. They simply avoid publishing material not appropriate for children, e.g. broadcast news programs don't show gore, even when a place has been bombed and is littered with body parts.</p>
