    Expanding on your first criteria. The technology stack is fundamentally wrong is a good reason for a re-write. Language too slow. Doesn't handle the workload well. Other stacks hav…

    1955 with the advent of the field with some very hopeful mathematicians, but the research never produced anything. 1980 after the foundations of neural networks, but it was too com…

    Apple products communicate with each other even if they don't know each other, so an airtag will utilize the cellular of a nearby iphone in order to get information to apple's serv…

    Subpoenas are for criminal cases. It looks like this was a civil matter. A better comparison would be the Twitter user that was tweeting Elon Musk's jet flights. This was before tw…

    For the most part, ML doesn't control high-risk things with a human in the loop. The worst cases for ML so far have been stock market crashes from algo trading. Its entirely possib…

    Another article conflating AGI risks with ML risks. AGI has catastrophic possibilities. ML risks can range from accidents to annoyances. Other than that, good insights from someone…
