This would mean that understanding "bouba" and "kiki" evolved as a concept before dogs split from us as a species.

Dogs don't know about the frequencies or amplitudes yet they can make the connection. Why does a sound match visual stimuli with such high correlation?

The question is how are you able to internalise the shape without ever seeing any visualisation. Why does the the bouba even evoke curvature?

In large scale operations, large scale errors happen. Minor radiation leak in a nuclear powerplant is happening weekly. That same leak at your shed would be a major reason for alarm.

Handcuffs yes, but you would be charged with criminal negligence at best. Plenty of people don't secure their networks properly and hackers use them in botnets to attack others. The blame would be on hacker, not the provider of hacked device.

In case od LLMs, the reasoning is that it is a security flaw. But in this case, the party that operates the service is not the one that suffers the consequences of such security bug.

But either way you wouldn't put people in jail for having security flaws in their software.

I know this will be unpopular opinion, but it makes logical sense.

The huggingface should be compensated, OpenAI investigated, but unless there is proven negligence like disabling sandboxes or intentionally designing AI to push through them, no one should be liable in other way than monetary.

Accidents happen but we shouldn't be close minded. Chernobyl negligence wasn't reason to abandon nuclear power.

I think this is much healthier approach to AI reports than curl has. But I understand both sides.

In my experience with emails, if you're not comming from big services like Google, Hotmail etc. The big services will still sometimes flag you as a spam even if you have everything set up properly. They use the monopoly position tohold the email hostage. I think it's time to seriously consider developing and adopting a successor for email.

Remember that the idea od LVT was to replace all the taxes. Not an excuse for a government to tax you more with ever more complicated schemes to benefit lobbying billionaires.

So much room for advertising. Meta sure loves this

Let's expand it for politicians as well

Exactly this. It's still (at this time) cheaper than a developer that would most likely perform worse.

If you don't respect the copyright the government will use force to confiscate your money. If you can't refuse it, they will escalate their demands up to a violence. Government has a monopoly on violence which it controls and delegates.

It's a monopolistic practice because it essentially enforces that only a certain party might use intellectual property, even though you can't own a thought.

The only flaky part of the argument is that it is abused by wealthy, but when you look at the rate of patents corporations put out every day, the disproportionate copyright enforcements and the fact that these corporation lobby and historically have lobbied for stronger IP protection laws, you would agree.

Issue of pharma development is not that you need a protection from copycats. You need to pass a mountain of regulations and bureaucracy. Most of the medications are easily copyable but would take years to be able to get to the market.
