How far does one take that? A picture of a horse could be transformed into Abraham Lincoln with the right algorithm. Is that lossy compression?

Models do not store the original, they store the model, which is a huge graph of probabilities.

There’s a reason things like consumer protection agencies should exist. Most are too stupid and easily taken advantage of. You cannot run a society like that well. SpaceX already raised their funds and the bag holders are regular people. That is bad for society even if we may like to point and laugh at the morons.

Because fucked them

All games should come with a tag that explicitly says if it supports offline play, which would require no updates if you don’t want to.

Ban individual owned large vehicles. Force them to be licensed under a business, or force a rental agreement with extra tax and duration limits.

But so do people so we have to consider the statistics. I just think if this goes anywhere, low speed precision should be it’s bread and butter scenario.

Putting the company aside for a second, genuinely why? Low speed residential, especially narrow or precision driving should be bread and butter tier 2 autonomous driving, right under tier 1 = highway, and quite a lot over the complexities of mixed use areas at higher speed. Unless you specifically meant their Tesla autopilot and not the concept as a whole with it in quotes.

Imagine a world with no libraries, no internet search, no wiki… They turn it all off after gobbling it all up, just to sell it back, because they end up with all information, for sale.

Now hack ring cameras so existing installed cams can connect to your own hosted network.

It’s a fascinating thought experiment. We can know that’s what actually happens, but I believe the teleported copy would not report it as such, and the destroyed copy does not know the difference to report its destruction. Even with multiple copies, I’d bet they would all report a continuous consciousness experience. If we take away the mysticism surrounding afterlife mythos, we’re left with some pretty strange conclusions about what it means to exist, be conscious, and be an individual.

They would both have the exact same continued consciousness, that only diverges later. Only an outside party can tell there are 2 separate lineages.

True but that’s already happening in theory. All copies would argue they are the original even if their futures diverge. None would think otherwise or have an experience any different than our moment to moment continuity as it stands now. That’s only apparent to a 3rd party.

There’s no difference. The universe could be destroying you and recreating you every Planck second, and it’s indistinguishable from continuous existence.

I mean, they could retain the simplicity but perhaps there is room for some basic nav improvement without bloat or enshittification.

It’s good. All media is presumed to be fake. Nobody can be hurt by naked bodies anymore, the market for real porn collapses and overall real exploitation is reduced. I think Ai is a solution to our fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

Agreed they make irresponsible choices sometimes, and we can think that policy can protect them, but we have no control over most of those choices when it comes to seeking behavior. Driving starts at early teens a lot of places anyway, and cars can be stolen, and the cost barrier to entry is super high. There’re other separate regulations about weapons, and kids with weapons are already getting them from an adult or stealing them, barrier to entry is high for purchase. Sex you absolutely cannot control and thinking you can is absurd for germane topic of seeking behavior, barrier to entry is effectively zero. Drugs are illegal or stolen from the start so moot point.

The only way to really curb any of these seeking behaviors is to educate the child and give them some experience with it. Enforcing age barriers doesn’t really work much for these, why would digital age barriers do much for media or anything else? You make responsible people out of children by educating them and giving them responsibility experience to make better choices, and some will always have seeking behavior and age checks don’t really stop them… It just invades the privacy of the rest of us.

Protection from media at the government level should not happen, that’s the slippery slope. Very few policies aside from educate children about topics, has ever actually helped a child. This shit is about data and overlord control. Devices should not have age verification.

Very little good comes from arbitrary control, particularly based on age, and always has been that way even on other topics that are age restricted. Education is a far more effective means, and doesn’t trample everyone.

We should not care about verifying age.

But they’re coming for everything. There won’t be anywhere to go to get information. You’ll give up everything?
