It might help if we stopped talking about AI as if it is itself responsible for its actions and excusing the humans who create and operate it. People should be held accountable for the behaviour of their software.

Why am I reading fantastic stories about swarms of agents struggling with moral dilemmas instead of reports on the lawsuits and criminal investigations that would surely ensue were the software involved not called AI?

Can the frontier be paced partly by holding humans responsible for the actions of their software?

My impression is that AI hacking is being treated as a special case where the AI itself is imagined to be responsible and the humans who created it, set it up and then ran it are somehow excused.

I'm not a lawyer but surely the bad actions of AI are covered by existing law.

I suspect that the development of AI would decelerate if those creating and operating it knew they would face appropriate consequences (e.g. prosecution and/or lawsuits) when it misbehaves.

P.S. Strictly, development wouldn't decelerate, but be focused more on safety.

P.P.S. I know that legal action against, e.g., North Koreans using AI would be pointless but/and there must/will surely be a huge demand for security software for protection against the coming storm of AI hacking (deliberate and accidental) which friendly AI companies will presumably work to satisfy, perhaps making the frontier safer.

P.P.P.S. Governments could help by trying to prosecute every crime committed "by" AI, regardless of whether the victim reported it to law enforcement. Did OpenAI break the law via the actions of their model training software? If so, will the people responsible be prosecuted? If not, why not?

Thought this would be a cool story about Dylan and Morrison :(

Does the line still pass the giraffe enclosure? It's been a few years since I was on it. Around 12 years ago it was the elephants.

Which is a bit tragic for someone like me who lives in a place where I hardly know anyone and is desperate to talk to the other people sitting alone in the cafe

You can also add stream URLs to a card. Thus we have a "radio" card which lets my son play radio stations from all over the world.

I have to believe the deadlines are serious. It helps too if the task is interesting

Yes, but it's not an invitation :)

This is obvious - stress is motivating.

Give me a deadline in six months and I'll procrastinate for at least five of them, feeling terrible about it throughout. Give me an impossible deadline tomorrow and I become a productivity machine, with no time for anxious overthinking.

How to use Syncthing on Android now that the app has gone?

Likewise

That's like how LLMs help me with software development. I don't work less, instead I produce more and what I produce is of greater benefit to my clients.

It's the national religion.

Recently I was starting to think I imagined that. Back then they gave me the impression it would be released within week or so of the announcement. Have they explained the delay?
