Seeing as he obtained it legally, albeit by accident, I think it would be whoever sold the hard disk that’s at fault. Granted, IANAL and the American legal system is fucky.

Edit: Yeah I’m not a lawyer.

What is it gonna be the next time? Idk, I can’t remember when I last bought an ‘AAA’ game. If gamers want to be that outraged, vote with their wallets. All these complaints and yet they end up buying the game anyway…

It’s an ad. Who cares if it’s a year.

Where can I sign up for AI-PAL?

The extended look will also be available at 9pm ET on YouTube, but for six hours, it will essentially be paywalled behind a Netflix subscription.

Cry me a river. First world problems, jeez.

You managed to mildly infuriate a bunch of people with the pettiness of this gripe 😁

Your comment isn’t showing as deleted for me, there’s probably a federation error somewhere.

People will continue to die

People also die in droves daily with human drivers. The important point is whether self driving cars are safer than the average human, not whether they eliminate all accidents entirely.

Great, Linux is an algorithm.

It might be accurate, but it’s also vague enough that it’s a pretty useless definition.

Doesn’t matter what the goal is, the context of this particular discussion is that AI is benefiting at least some people by making their lives easier. And one guy who’s trying to argue ‘so what, it only matters if productivity goes up’.

However they like, are you their mum?

… What.

AI has automated some mundane task that wasn’t particularly important, and now they can spend their time doing something more interesting.

That absolutely sounds like a win to me. Why is productivity gains the only thing that’s important? QoL is what matters. Unless you’re a capitalist overlord.

Not quite. Algorithms are definite, you get the same guaranteed output if you give the same input every time. AI is generally more fuzzy logic.

You’re getting direct examples of people its helped, and you keep brushing it off and asking what about everybody else. You’re obviously not going to get a single answer that affects everybody, and why do small successes not matter?

His analogy about turning off AI is bloody weird. Pick almost any technology from history. Chances are if you had turned it off a few short years after it was first introduced, it wouldn’t have had any major impact. Why would AI be any different?

You realise that it is a statistical impossibility that there were absolutely no mistakes?

But now both SO and Google are shit…

Goddamn I need to steal this
