I’d say it’s more than zero and less than 100%.
And someone who has an economic stake in it is not someone I’ll listen to.

on FAA tees up $875M AI tool to help manage air traffic congestion in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago
It’s hard to find people with the requisite skills who can tolerate the shit working conditions and occasional extended periods of intense stress. I had a job that required me to interact with a group of controllers. Almost all had the cork in too tight. I met several who later died of heart attacks in their late 40s or early 50s.

on OpenAI’s feud with mathematicians is only escalating in c/technology@lemmy.world · 17 Sep 2026
A solution or proof that nobody understands has no value.
It’s worthless until it’s been validated. That’s peer review. If it’s not, it’s just a claimed proof, or claimed solution. And there’s nothing that indicates that LLMs can operate with the consistent precision needed to do serious mathematics unless micro-steered by a mathematician.
Also, the hype about LLM solutions has a stench strongly reminiscent of Stephen Wolfram’s self-aggrandizing bullshit. And I’d say Wolfram has more of a claim to at least have an educational background that means he might occasionally know what he’s talking about, even if, in a broader view, he’s a charlatan.

US bars suck too as a way of meeting people. Too ritualized, too fake, often too noisy to have a conversation or the whole thing is set up to be a meat market.
Pubs in the UK are better, but it’s a slower game.

There’s no reason TVs should not just be dumb displays.
At least, no reason that benefits the consumer. There are strong monetary incentives to spy on customers and sell the data that’s collected.

All crimes punish the group of people doing that crime. A bill of attainder targets an individual or a related group of individuals (like family members). But legislation to criminalize an action that happens to be done by only a small number of individuals is not a bill of attainder.

on Flock CEO calls for ‘compromise’ as surveillance company faces growing backlash | TechCrunch in c/technology@lemmy.world · 30 Aug 2026
its illegal (I think) to suggest or call for the hanging of someone
Only if it’s a specific, actionable threat intended to be taken literally. But if, for example, it’s advocating a prosecution that might end with capital punishment, that’s protected speech. “Let justice be done.”
is it illegal to publish and support legislation calling for the execution of public figures involved in X Y Z?
No.

Here’s a compromise: liquidate the company and donate all your ill-gotten gains to the cause of smashing capitalism and ending the surveillance state, then we might consider treating you with a small measure of leniency.

on Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Minors cannot be signatories to a contract. Nothing the parent does can change that.
If someone agrees to unlawful contract terms, those terms have no legal force, and depending on the wording of the contract, it could potentially invalidate the whole contract (though there’s usually fine print about separability that deals with that eventuality).
-
on Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
It would be a bit strange for me that children have no rights.
That’s because it’s not true.
-
on Roblox argues 8-year-old waived rights in wrongful death lawsuit in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
Minors (except immigrants who have not been naturalized) are citzens, and they do have rights. For example, minors can be issued passports, and cannot lawfully be deported. That’s because they’re citizens.
Also, you can’t just walk down the street and kill a minor. That’s an example of a right that everyone has, regardless of whether they’re citizens. Generally, the Constitution refers to such people as persons rather than citizens.
The vast majority of minors are not wards of the state, the only exception being those who are declared wards of the state through explicit legal procedures.
So nothing you said was correct.
The real rationale for Roblox being full of shit is that minors cannot execute contracts. And there are what are called unconscionable contracts, which are invalid even if the signatory is not a minor.

on If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US should nationalize them in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
The correct thing to do is to announce that there will be no bailout, and there will be criminal liability for any fraudulent practices that drove the hype cycle. Anything else will just encourage an even worse mega-scam next time. Let 'em burn to the fucking ground. Until and unless there’s proper accountability and meaningful controls, we don’t need LLMs.

And how can we get rid of you?

They’ll only do it if forced. That’s what the law is for.

t>he entity hosting the model should be held accountable
Not necessarily. If I buy a machine from a vendor, fail to test it to confirm that it’s safe to use in the way I intend to use it, and one of my employees gets maimed or killed by it, I’m liable, even though some liability might also be assignable to the manufacturer.
