Subpoenas are never "backed by a warrant." Probably what you mean is a subpoena signed by a judge, rather than the self-issued "administrative" subpoena being discussed here.
If the training data contains sufficient examples of deception being used when doing illegal stuff, wouldn't this be what we'd expect to see, given that it can't actually reason about what "explicitly allowed" really means? (Forgive my ignorance if this makes no sense, I am not versed well in generative AI.)
Is there a specific reason we should expect that "instructing not to perform" an illegal activity should result in it adhering to said instruction? Is this any different than when it provides wrong output about other things, even when the operator attempts to "engineer" the prompt to guide the result?
trying to prevent misinformation
An unsubstantiated and highly arguable claim.
that was actively leading to the spread of a contagious virus
Again, so you claim.
And, yes, it was "fundamentally flawed" either way because it involved government exercising powers it has no right to exercise.
That is nonsensical, going slower during a crisis makes zero sense.
I never said anything about "going slower," I disagreed with your assertion that "we all agree" that government should be allowed to "overstep bounds" in a crisis. I am unsure why you think speed of action implies violating boundaries. Speed up your crisis response all you want, but do so within established boundaries.
You can argue what boundaries should be relaxed and how far to relax them
I can argue whatever I want. And my argument is that no boundaries whatsoever should be "relaxed" for any reason. Ever.
We normally hold the government to a strict limit due to there being no time limit.
No, we hold the government to strict limits because we have seen throughout history what governments that are not held to strict limits do to people during times of "crisis" and "emergency."
Do you think maybe every surgeon in the world, who spends 8+ years studying medicine, just wears masks because they're brainwashed?
This is a non sequitur. Surgeons don't wear masks to prevent transmission of airborne viruses.
...we generally agree that during public health crisises it is reasonable for the government to overstep bounds a little to reduce loss of life.
No, "we" don't agree in the slightest. In fact, in my view, a "crisis" is exactly when government boundaries are most important and need to be strictly enforced, not relaxed, in order to prevent significant abuse.
It's actually supposed to be only symbolic given that it's a joint resolution and not a law.
It's not a law, it's a joint resolution with no power to do anything.
For all those who haven't or won't bother to read it, this is a "joint resolution" - meaning it isn't a proposed law and would have zero effect on anything.
FYI the correct spelling is Swartz, not Schwartz.
There is value in art done honestly, "bad" or not
If I think it's "bad" then it has _zero_ value to _me_. Why does this bother you or anyone else?
Sorry but it falls into the realm of audiophilia to me
Perhaps so. I'm not one of those people that picks up on (or claims to) these subtleties, so I wouldn't know. I wonder if any studies have been done on this.
Imagine thinking there aren't people with exceptional hearing that notice all sorts of things the average person doesn't.
That's what I always thought, too, that the point of referencing Pantone colors is simply that I know what I'll get from the print shop will match the physical swatch I looked at.
For those wondering how this kind of data is obtained:

This is either cell carrier data or data that is gathered from those "free" apps and games people love to install and grant all permissions to.
Cell carriers sell location data.
I had to resort to logging in via my phone browser the other day. Got endless spinning on desktop, on both Firefox and Chrome. Absolute trash of a website.
The T-Mobile account management website is absolute trash. I was just blowing my stack about this affront to all things decent the other day. Why does showing me my bill and letting me update my account details require so much garbage JavaScript all over the place? I'm not running a command center that needs up-to-the-second "dynamic" billing info, I'm just a simple plebe who wanted to update his billing info. So just render the stupid page server side and let me get to it. But no, instead I have to sit around watching 4 different spinners "load" the "frontend" components of this bloated, over-engineered pile of steaming crap.
