From the premise it has super creeptastic potential. Fortunately it didn’t end up that way.

Imagine if it was written by the folks that brought the world Highschool DxD or Boku No Pico.

The problem is that law enforcement doesn’t do nuance like that. You know full well they will tear masks right off of disabled/immunocompromised people’s faces (probably wrecking the mask forever) and point to the law as an excuse.

There’s no good reason to ban masks in general. The Healthcare CEO shooter wore a mask during the crime but the police still caught him.

Even worse: It’s a compliance nightmare!

Classified information leaking in this way is a one-off situation that might get an individual in trouble. If someone at a heavily-regulated company uploads the wrong thing though, that can cause major disruptions to commercial services while the regulators investigate. Not just fines or prosecutions after-the-fact!

Here’s why it’s a big deal: Nearly every organization allows employees to use google.com. That necessitates allowing POSTs to google.com and from a filtering perspective it makes it nearly impossible to prevent. The best you can do is limit the POST size.

Having said that, search forms in general always pose a 3rd party information disclosure risk but when you enable uploading of entire files instead of just limited text prompts you increase the risk surface by an order of magnitude.

Now we need to figure out which AI did it.

Just 1k/month? Some of us have to pay more than that 😞

More like $1.5k/month (covers whole family though).

Oh I can explain this: You were born with a destiny that doesn’t make sense anymore because the gods had to make some changes to the timeline. Sounds simple enough but some people have actually been given theirs or someone else’s prophecy so now they have to make it happen… Somehow.

To resolve this situation they often have to come up with clever solutions to make sure the prophecy still happens in a way that the (new) timeline can handle. Such as “experiencing plague” and “getting caught rolling with a naked woman in public”.

I just want to say your comment reminded me of just how close we are to losing everything. So thanks for that. 🤷

Also, very prescient, cleverly worded, and necessary 👍

No, that’s Salty AI

massive financial losses due to piracy,

No. That’s not “losses”. It’s just potentially lost sales. In reality though we call that, “wishful thinking”. So to Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs I say:

To be fair, falling off this lift is probably safer than falling off of it when it’s on solid ground 🤷

Well, you didn’t think they’re UFOs because they’re not “unidentified” to aliens 🤷

This is just the AI bias showing through: It’s all that training.

BTW > MCD

How many times did they say, “Sir, this is a Wendy’s” before they just gave up and let you stay all the way until you got married there?

He’ll use his laptop running multiple girlfriend emulators to gamify the relationship!

I Snickers at this comment.

Just keep these fellas out of it:

Well, good/useful AI integration. An AI that makes games infinitely replayable by changing the story, levels, and characters so they’re 100% unique every time? That could be awesome. Oh man I bet that sort of thing would be amazing if done right in a roguelike game!

AI that tries to figure out how to sell you more loot boxes? No thanks!

I wonder what the yield is on these wafers? 🤔

No, it’s not wages that would increase prices huge amounts. They’d increase the price of goods slightly (depending on the good) but for the most part the biggest cost factor that increases when you decide to make something in the US is regulations.

Ya know, rules that prevent companies from dumping their toxic waste wherever TF they want. It’s not just the regulations that apply to a specific company’s business but all the regulations in their supply chain.

Consider a PCB manufacturer: They need epoxies, fiberglass, copper, gold, tin, and silver to make PCBs along with a shitton of associated chemicals. All of those things ultimately come from heavily regulated industries (because we don’t want smelter waste full of things like lead, mercury, cobalt, and worse things winding up in our food and water). All that regulation costs money to deal with. Not just in actually complying with the regulations but also hiring people knowledgeable enough to make sure they’re complying (and doing so in the least expensive way possible).

In countries like China regulations are basically non-existent because even if they have them officials can easily and cheaply be bribed to get around them (e.g. poisoned baby formula). Furthermore, the people are vastly more ignorant of health and pollution than your average idiot in the US. If some dude sees a company dumping tires on the side of the road they’re likely to call the cops because that’s obviously illegal. I’m China that doesn’t happen because the people will be unlikely to understand the (environmental/downstream) consequences of that or will suspect the cops (and local officials) are in on it and reporting the illegal dumping could get them disappeared.

The most toxic industries are all overseas and we really do rely on them to keep supply chains going. Bringing them back onshore would drastically increase the cost of a shitton of goods just because there’s no cheap way to dispose of byproducts here and there’s way more requirements around handling such things.
