Audacity isn't trying to be "a proper DAW," it's OK to be just be an audio editor.

Out of curiosity, what EU laws does your 'same product' break?

Humans have imagination, AI doesn't.

Because everybody is playing the same game?

Those are tangible items. Here, the baker is buying shoes from someone who says they're going to be a cobbler some day.

This isn't court. The evidence, such as it is, is all of the smoke which commonly motivates people to look for fire. The strongest and most comprehensive that I've seen is the argument that if Trump was not implicated in the Epstein files, he would be publishing them in free book form himself and forcing every media outlet to advertise it. Slight exaggeration, but I think truly only slight.

Not really relevant to the thread, but there are simple answers to the "eViDeNcE??" question. You may have already known this.

Pulling out randomly, I see it all the time. I beat the computer by a) anticipating; and b) assuming other drivers are idiots who don't see me. I don't have to calculate trajectories and whatnot, people aren't computers, and they can do some things better than a computer can, especially a solely-reactive one.

Google only hires the best of the best.

If the CEO isn't juicing market cap 110% of the time, the board will prosecute them and they will go to JAIL!

"What it does" is a thing that can be changed.

You are correct, sir!

Greater Fool Theory

My understanding is that in the vast majority of investigations law enforcement will be satisfied in learning only who you're talking to, i.e. "just metadata" is fine, and dangerous.

I wonder why there has been such silence on this

Some combination of cowardice, conflict of interest, and fear of ICE.

"The map is not the territory" ensures that bias and mistakes are inextricable from the entire AI project. I don't want to get all Jaron Lanier about it, but they're fundamental terms in the vocabulary of simulated intelligence.

It's a latch.

All three of those should be followed by "...and I checked it to see if it was a sufficient solution to X..." or words to that effect.

Maybe to avoid the Second System Effect.

Congress makes laws, not government agencies like the FDA, EPA, USDA, etc.

What are some examples of laws created by unelected people?

Jamie Dimon should be in prison right now, for one.

That equals permission, at least (I'm sure) to them.

Swimming is not often a contact sport, so it's not really an apples to apples comparison.

Not only is Thiel a dyed in the wool libertarian, but he also owns the dye factory and patents.

I think it's probably just his version of yanking the chain, but if anybody wants to submit to the experiment I'm sure he'll be happy to sit back and watch.

"You may not be interested in AI, but AI is interested in you."

I remember VRML.

You don't have to pay someone $50/wk. You allow users to have friends, and then you recommend based on what they've been listening to.

Dummynet and the rest of this functionality comes from FreeBSD, where it has existed for a long time. I was doing packet loss testing with it 15+ years ago. Works great!

The first-sale doctrine says the ticket industry could not, in fact, stop reselling.

That said, your plan is one ticket per identified person, that you can't buy 4 tickets at a time for you and your friends? Not sure that'll fly, even with people who hate Ticketmaster.

Bulk generating credit card numbers that can be charged a reservation fee?
