Either we believe in giving people the chance to become functioning citizens of society again or we don’t. I’d argue the “don’t” doesn’t seem to work out too well for the Americans. Europe, meanwhile taking the former attitude, has far better recidivism rates.
It’s already pretty integrated in a lot of white collar work.
Honestly? For some tasks it really does seem useful. My wife is in middle management of a tech company in a non tech role. She doesn’t really have much programming experience aside from HTML. She is encouraged to use AI for generating small SQL scripts and such in situations the company would never have, and never did, give dev time for. And certainly they aren’t going to train every middle manager in SQL. They were just manually completed tasks before that took everyone more time as employees had to manually send over certain data every day.
Which, agree with that use or not, that AI use is already pretty integrated into the corporate world on such a basic workflow level, not flashy stuff like creating an app or something, tells me it’s really unlikely it’s going to go away. I think the hype will die down and we’ll see less of the flashy use being pushed by upper management, but that kind of unsexy use by the rank and file? Can’t see why that will go away.
I’m open to this possibility, but a 1 year moratorium while more research on this potential - and how to appropriately execute any use of it if it shows promise - is prudent imo.
I’ve heard the argument that if you aren’t pirating via torrent but simply downloading a file (no seeding), there really aren’t any damages that can be claimed aside from the price of the thing you’ve pirated, hence completely not worth any action. The danger is if you’re uploading stuff you can be on the hook based on the number of downloads of that file.
No idea if that’s true, though it sounds reasonable. Thankfully, I’m in a country that could not give less of a shit about piracy… one of the few upsides here lol.
In fairness, that could be said of some of the know-it-all summaries as well. 😅
Your grandad’s AI summary, if you will.
“Believe it or not, straight to jail”.
Jesus Christ, it shouldn’t be squeezing through such a small gap in bollards on a fucking road.
…
Still not an excuse, it should have seen it
Everything about this was still very bad obviously
???
In fairness, I feel that sometimes.
The claim “increased safety” is rather ironic in light of the post you’re commenting on.
Not really?
Are we really so blinded by (understandable) Tesla hate that we’re reducing ourselves to anecdotes to counter data and studies, the thing we’ve been complaining about from conservatives for decades now?
Zen, though I think that’s basically Firefox under the hood.
So, do I understand that you’re willing to enact measures based on a presumption of recidivism despite 70+% not doing so according to the research you’re citing?
I don’t agree that it’s morally right to punish a criminal based on the assumption they will repeat offend when the research indicates a majority doesn’t. My conclusion from that research would be better methods of correcting the behavior and verifying compliance are probably necessary. Not group punishment.
