I never understood how anybody would think this way. At work for example from day one of using AI our rule was, AI is just a tool and if you break something due to not reviewing the code properly etc. it's on you as if you wrote that code yourself.

Its like companies handing over race cars to delivery drivers and telling them to drive responsibly but unofficially tell them that they expect reduced delivery times due to faster cars. Do you think the average rate of accidents will stay the same ?

Weren't there multiple microcosms along similar lines in the US with "30 minutes or less" pizza and _[gestures vaguely in the direction of Jimmy Johns]_ ...

Brian José Morales García: A 25-year-old U.S. citizen born in Denver, Colorado, was wrongfully deported to Mexico following a traffic stop in Texas, despite possessing a birth certificate and other identifying documents. His legal team filed a case in federal court to secure his return. https://www.aclu.org/news/immigrants-rights/us-citizen-wrong... https://deportation-research.buffett.northwestern.edu/us-cit...

I was not making an argument, just asking for any factual basis to the parent comment. I guess that is deserving of 5 downvotes. > I think they forgot about that, thank god. All the innocent citizens we sent there are still being tortured daily, but that somehow lost their interest. God forbid they remember before the midterms and ruin more lives for a stunt… But thank you for providing other cases, I had heard of th…

The last example was an article published in 2021, and does cover about 70 possible cases during the 2015 to 2020 period. It would seem that this misbehaviour is neither new, nor restricted to big T's residency in the WH periods. Apparently we have had this happening to a lessor degree for the duration of the existence of ICE, and this may be because of a shift in oversight, training, and general legal competency. It does appear however that under present and past stints the frequency and severity of this problem are demonstrably worse.

Having myself grown up actually within sight of the US|Mexican border - I could see it in the distance from the driveway and kitchen window of one of my childhood homes, and from the schoolbus every weekday when i lived at an different home before that - I am perhaps a bit more sensitive to this issue, having seen the differences in enforcement agents attitudes and behaviour in the years since the peak of both the Guatemalan and Nicaraguan conflicts. Although I no longer live physically close to that space; my father, my extended family and childhood friends still do, and so many of them are at risk daily of something disastrous happening because they appear less white than the color palette that ICE appears to use as it's operating manual.

Very easy to download abliterated GLM 5.3 and start doing bad things with it, and it'll be easier when Astra-level variants are available Just because you don't do a bad thing doesn't mean other people won't. It's why you don't give everyone an RPG launcher.

why should you have the RPG launcher and not me?

I think we're being trolled by solenoid0937. I call Poe's Law.

I hear what you're saying, but I don't think it really applies to a question asking for the veracity of a previously stated claim, especially when the claim is actually false. I think there is more than enough bad things the government actually does wrt immigration enforcement, we don't need to start making things up.

In that case, it vastly more productive to say : 'I do believe this is false/poorly presented/a gross generalisation, and would like you to prove me wrong by citing sources'. At least you do not hide behind the "I'm just asking questions", which read as disingenuous like I said, mostly because it's overused rethoric.

a cursory view of whataboutism's... i mean whimsicalism's comment stream has the effect of negating any declarations of serious intent. This is standard practice, take issue with a valid if overstated perspective on a technicality, insist that the current state of the market and technology is acting as it should, and that continued disregard for the abuses/negative outcomes/deteriorating conditions will be solved by further application of the current techniques.

The downvotes are perhaps the intended outcome. I might say that I didn't know this when i first responded, but that would be untrue.

I engaged in exactly that manner, fully informed of the observable tendencies for engagement. There's no need to try and advise an account as if this 'just asking questions' was a misstep. There is ample substance showing that this account repeatedly declines to take the HN recommended approaches to polite interaction.

my bad you're right. edited.

is there anything decent actually which is not on the internet? I thought it's an outdated place

It’s not that the content is not available on the Internet it’s that it’s a better experience. Indexed high quality content that can be retrieved automatically and at high speed without the need to seed or worry about copy strikes or deal with ever changing, poor quality streaming sites.

> Intention matter a lot in US law. Maybe (and historically, not with CFAA) - but they're still going to extradite you to a trial here to find out which is more than enough to ruin your life. The government is already looking for a great excuse to criminalize open source models.

Who was prosecuted under CFAA for something they did not intend to do?

Robert Morris, Lori Drew, probably a few others, depending on what you mean by their intent.

just read about it, what a sad story, thanks for the reference. looks like he did great stuff. for context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz "As a programmer, Swartz helped develop the web feed format RSS; the technical architecture for Creative Commons, an organization dedicated to creating copyright licenses; and the Python website framework web.py.

I've heard he was more like the Elon Musk of the open source world. He didn't co-found Reddit, he was placed there by Y Combinator staff to the protests of its actual founders. Maybe some of the other projects he's credited for also were like that.

what is meant with "he was placed there by Y Combinator staff to the protests of its actual founders."

I find it interesting, could you expand on that? or is there any reference?

Hey, I'm somewhat of an expert in these things, and would like to lend my knowledge about the subject matter. And I'll bring beers!

I consider myself an advanced industry representative in these things and would also borrow some time for detailed investigation. I'd happily contribute some valuable assets (tacos with cheese dip) into the matter, straight out of my personal drawers.

Professional* drawers

Actually, not sure how to take it, because it can be viewed the opposite way than trying to escape blame for crimes, that it’s a parody of something AI did that everyone is making a big deal about. Not sure what the poster of the mastodon’s tweet was??

I'm almost certain it was parody.

That was my take too:)
