The creators crying foul of AI are painting themselves into a corner, both literally and figuratively.

What none of them did, however, was “learn” (as the title suggests). They used hardcoded algorithms.

"Tiananmen"

But then perhaps over time, they somehow attracted people who genuinely are that stupid, and uncritically believe? That demographic is obviously going to be too stupid to critically assess any new evidence either.

It seems more likely to be under the Insult clause of that statute:

> Insult (§185 StGB): Covers disrespectful, demeaning, or contemptuous statements made to or about someone, including public insults.

That's a pretty heavy handed law.

Anyone working in real real-time computing would have a fit!

Actually, there are a bunch of other variables (energy density, stability, discharge current, etc. etc.), so the probability of a technology that improves one significantly without negatively affecting at least one other is vanishingly small. Hence the number of overhyped battery technologies that get reported but never productised.

The few zombie subscriptions I've had have all existed outside of the App store, one that I didn't even sign up for (looking at you Masterclass). I bought a one year gift subscription for someone else, and because it came with a "free" subscription for me (that I didn't use), I git hit with annual renewals until I noticed it on my credit card statement and cancelled.

Yes, I should check those more frequently, but who has time for that?

It rankles that you can can cancel a free trial before it's over with every app exept Apple's. I like the feature, but the double standard grates.

"every day"

Perhaps the author should check grammar while he checks spelling :D (Not the only issue I noticed, and I didn't read the entire article...)

That itself makes me think there's a human in the loop on the bot end.

Yes, the technology has evolved – digital vs analog (partly – for example analog comms here because digital (optical) "isn't redundant" (lol, what?)); higher resolution; digital overlays and effects, etc. But the basic process of a bunch of humans winging it and yelling to each other hasn't changed at all.

This is an industry ripe for massive disruption, and the first to do it will win big.

So you've tried casually? What does a casual heist look like exactly?
