What morality is that? Child fucking? Police killings? Wage theft? Bribery of government officials? Embezzlement of government funds?

We'll pass on your "morality."

If you buy a decent digital one, they actually turn off when you press the off button, and the battery lasts a long time. The cheap ones just turn the display off, and the batterty dies like every week.

Unrelated, but all I hear in my head is "chocolate rain..."

Is that what that thing on his neck is?! The human body can only handle so much time with the cranium inserted into the rectum I guess.

Both sides are afraid of what might be discovered if they search thoroughly.

GOP wants to use the issue as a wedge to create doubt in the result. Then they have a chance in court if they cherry pick.

Yeah, there isnt much of a difference as far as how the data is transformed between your pirating case and and the case of an ai providing copywritten material. It really is only because they treat it like an artificial person that they are able to convince people it should be allowed.

The kick in the teeth is, if I charged people for me to recite a copywritten novel, that I memorized but dont have the explicit permission to use, I'd be sued. There really is no way to argue this should be allowed that doesnt immediately fall apart if you pull it apart even a little.

I like this way of thinking about it, but I would scare quote that "hallucinates." Its more like its been encrypted, and then decrypted with an imperfect algorithm. Or like a lossy compression and decompression.

We have mathematical understanding for these things. Its not a mysterious thing like the human brain still is for science. Personification of them is an unfortunate side affect of the fact its designed to emulate human intelligence and uses natural language in a sort of "conversation." It does more to obfuscate the real nature of them than it does to explain them.

By that definition, Roman Empire? Which lasted pretty damn long, by similar methods. Imperialism. A government that has at least a veneer of responsibility to the populace.

I mean there's big differences, but more similarities imo.

This isnt like a hike up a local trail to a summit with nice view. This was proper mountaineering. Like hiking and winter camping and rock climbing combined. Safety should be the first priority in planning and execution. There should be hard turn around times, because you'll always want to push to the summit in the moment. The negligent mistakes were not stopping and turning around sooner, not accepting help when contacted by a rescue helicopter, and not helping her use the equipment she had when it became apparent things had turned south.

I like to winter camp on the top of mountains in the Catskills (childs play by comparison), and when I saw he strapped her to a rock, it was clear to me he had fucked up. As soon as they had reached the last appropriate place, he should have set her up in her bivuac, and then turned around. Or they both should have turned around sooner when they weren't on schedule. He pushed her further up when its clear they should have already been heading down. It was a selfish desire to summit.

Yep, that means the bunch needs thrown out. You have to start over with new apples. Zero apples are better than having a bad bunch of apples, so I see no apparent risks in simply abolishing certain law enforcement bodies.

Pennies on the dollar for these fucks.. Each patient is entitled to 3.50, or some similarly pathetic amount, I'd be willing to bet. We act like a million is a lot because we're poor, but they are making money while paying out millions. Thats how much more they have than us.
