the pride aspect is gone though

even if you've got an outstanding project, now everyone has to wade through no much noise it'll never be found

kettle, pot, black?

I received the following offical spam last week from GitHub:

> Build AI agents with the new GitHub Copilot SDK

despite never granting consent for marketing material

(and yes, there's a GDPR complaint now working its way through the national regulator)

it's not logical, at all

it more or less guarantees the other side will retaliate with nuclear weapons

at which point the likelihood of escalation to strategic nuclear strikes goes through the roof

and if that happens our current civilisation is finished

> We have prior art that says humans don't just launch all the nukes just because the computers or procedures say to.

previously no-one had spent trillions of dollars trying to convince the world that those computers were "Artificial Intelligence"

> Neither of your citations has any relevance to this at all.

> But it's not like the USA is now DPRK.

kim is simply not a threat

he also hasn't threatened to invade us, and he's not kidnapped any foreign leaders (recently)

> What tech companies? At the end of the day, it's all about capital and IP.

it's a critical industry, so can be regulated to prevent foreign interference

airlines aren't granted freedom of the air unless they're domestically owned

and exactly the same approach can be applied to tech companies

they won't stop it

the US was really, really foolish to crystalise the risk by locking out those judges

prior to that it was just a theoretical people were yelling about

now it's real, and there's a continent of hungry businesses lobbying for resources to be diverted domestically, instead of being sent to the US

and that's the EU's bread and butter
