    They might be able to convict on that, but that sets a dangerous precedent imo, which is that doing anything preemptively to prevent searches is conviction worthy, including the pr…

    I would have thought the fourth amendment not having specific geographical boundaries, but rather applying generally would have been common sense too, but here we are with border p…

    So, what, have no regulations whatsoever then? What an absurd suggestion. It’s a cat and mouse game, sure, but that’s like saying “there was a security hole in the software, might …

    I love when religions have rule lawyers like this. It readily discredits the religion. As if their all powerful god can be fooled by fancy paperwork or legal loopholes.

    I almost ordered, but the delivery fee is way too high.

    Maybe! But that’s certainly debatable. “I thought I was doing the right thing” is anyways a much better defense than “I was just following orders” anyways.

    “Overhead to starting businesses” is not the only metric to take into account though. I’m not going to defend any given regulation necessarily, but your ad reductum fallacy is to t…

    We need regulation, yes, but also people who have a sense of goodness. We can’t legislate every aspect of a respectable society.

    That’s not a good example, since you can argue that LLMs have utility to humanity. Hiding the cancel button has none, except for rent seeking.

    I would even go further, and say that this logic applies not just for massive games from massive publishers, but platforms like GoG works well as an alternative for indies.

    Presumably “us” is “population of the US”, not HN readers.

    Most of republican’s decisions become much more logically consistent once you realize they just want to control people, primarily women and minorities. It isn’t and has never been …

    I don’t think that applies here. They don’t have a monopoly on gaming, there are major competitors in the space, from Sony and Nintendo, as well as Steam/Indie devs. Buying some st…

    If you are in the same insurance pool as me (state funded or otherwise) it is at least some of my business, yes?

    They absolutely get to pick. They pick which cases they choose to prosecute, plea bargain, or dismiss, as well as what sentence they choose to ask for.

    You’d be surprised how much radical Islam and the American far right have in common.

    I’ve nearly decided to switch back to the code brick instead of BankID app. It’s less convenient, but with the way things are going, I’m just not sure I want to exist in the digita…

    They might be a student, in which case the rules might be much less in their favor.

    The same way you do age assurance laws, I guess.

    I’m not convinced academia purged itself, at least not in any way that they should be ashamed of. Reality has a liberal bias, and my extremely conservative uncle at one point menti…

    He also glosses over the fact that the founder started with $2 million.

    I think it’s useful to distinguish between LLM and AI. I think this criticism is valid against LLMs, but not against AI. LLMs are a useful tool, but they aren’t AI. Once actual AI …
