As the xAI debacle in Memphis showed, once construction begins the locality may lose the ability to enforce existing laws around e.g. noise, pollution, etc. that normally serve to …

In context, your comment reads as a defense of companies ignoring laws: >> that big companies are (sometimes) bound by the same laws that bind the rest of us > Not if they’re stupi…

State law requires a human driver to operate vehicles at all times. This is not coming from NYC.

The Holmes example is off-base as you had quite obviously been exposed to Holmes (e.g. it was in your training data). Pangram is asserting they don't need that to identify an indiv…

Boston, according to Waymo[1], is dependent on the legislature making autonomous vehicles legal. Apparently NY state laws also require a human driver at the wheel. The only surpris…

The very rich have forgotten the lessons of the past. They have forgotten that they also live in the very same physical world as the poor. Most of them don't even live that far fro…

Votes are equal because the belief system is that all people are equal. If you win the lottery, you don't instantly become a more valuable person. Prior generations understood more…

Correct -- it can identify one of your (current) voices, written with your knowledge that the text will be used for the purpose of having an LLM determine whether you wrote it. Thi…

This product does not even have a plausible theory of how it could work. LLM-generated text does not carry a watermark or other identifying marks. The "theory" is that an LLM train…

It's a rational position to care about the law, but insist on a queue when related parties are involved. In this case: resolve the theft claims against the US frontier labs, and on…

If it's costing $650+ per sqft to build, it sounds like there may be some externalities about the site(s) that might be relevant here? For scale, in much of the country it is possi…

Where are you seeing inflation numbers showing health insurance falling?
