Capable of what though? We have all the evidence we need that our parents and their parents are brain damaged. Maybe that kind of cognitive capability is bad and there’s a goldilocks zone to go back to.

Was likely 2 hours a day actual attended care, 1000 a day, 90k for 3 months, plus rent, food, materials, another 500 a day. That’s $135-155k even with conservative care in nicu. In a real nicu that would be 10x

Whether we like it or not, it’s not trespass and it wasn’t to spy on or eavesdrop. In fact the hidden camera in his house actually qualifies more, but likely wouldn’t qualify for gratification.

They get indoctrinated with all kinds of other bullshit. They can take some truth home.

It’s like tipping… It happens because we let it. It’s so incredibly common that literally poor teachers are paying for basic supplies the school doesn’t when they should look those kids in the eyes and tell them they are sorry and that their society and school have failed them and to go home and tell their parents to vote differently.

So you save 100 in taxes and pay 500 in printing costs… You’re down 400 for supplying your employer. Lol

That was some of the worst sound I’ve ever heard in a musical number, basically anywhere. You can like the story, you can like the visuals, but objectively he sounded like shit.

Yup that’s exactly what I’m talking about. They need a benchmark for what it can do, not the size of a part or a made up size for marketing. Or just disconnect the specs from the marketing name entirely.

They should count up by some benchmark. If x/mm^2 doesn’t capture the improvement anymore, and they aren’t shrinking things much anymore, benchmark some common output.

It’s symbolic. They can call in state defense force and state police to apprehend them if they feel like they can claim they are committing crime. Then you see who does what. The only options are to escalate or capitulate.

It wasn’t complex at all. It’s incredibly simple

The real problem is that we ever gave a shit about human bodies, especially fake ones.

See the other comment above, these are functionally shit and we all hate them.

Either you take it and pay and sell or keep, or the estate pays off the creditor and then you can sell it.

Because it’s just one anecdote and the reason for the result is important. If it’s cultural, then we can generalize the reduction possibly to zero… If it’s not then we cannot expect that. I don’t believe it’s mostly cultural and don’t believe we should expect significant extinction in a general population.

That shows that exposure causes an overall reduction in response, but doesn’t support the conclusion that it’s a cultural construction in the first place, nor that at a population level that it trends towards zero. It’d be interesting to quantify the reduction, though I’d bet it’s a smaller effect overall than one might think.

You are entirely neglecting instinctual responses. I seriously doubt you could normalize responses as you suggest.

Why would he have any say? Isn’t this type of thing decided by the panels for the committees/departments that were funded? He signs the budget, but shouldn’t directly control what every single department does.

Nothing is real or can be considered real anymore. We are going to need new frameworks to handle a world where video of illegal or embarrassing things can be trivially created by anyone.

People saying the Ai vendor should be liable, but that’s short-sighted for a world where anyone can do this at home with largely anonymous distribution.

Usually the lawsuit itself isn’t considered damages. Maybe in this case he was awarded something, but usually it costs a ton. You get what you sued for awarded, but often nothing else. At 20 hours for self service, which isn’t possible for most people to deal with properly, you’re in for at least that plus court appearance fee… Maybe 500/hr from a lawyer all in starting… 10,000 minimum. This guy got his out of pocket costs covered and probably not all of them, but nothing for time.
