That seems awfully harsh, the comment I replied to had done the usual "let's find some reason this is discriminatory" thing and I was pushing back on it. I'm happy to stop commenting.

Right, much better for everybody to be screwed in the name of equity.

Lots of decisions in the last 50 years have made "the system" more fragile. This makes me realize that outsourcing trust is another one. This would never happen now because businesses have no connection to their customers, either a payment provider or credit bureau does the vouching which becomes meaningless when things don't operate as usual and human judgement is needed

I have an emergency radio with crank for power outages. I know it probably takes a lot of cranking to charge a phone, but I think that would reduce complexity and make it more universal than having to occupy a specific kind of bike sharing bike

Is there a precedent for locking people up for being victimlessly deviant? Maybe drug use?

That's not logically consistent. Someone selling solutions to a nonexistent problem is a swindler.

I think I mostly agree, but what kind of credentials or track record would be automatically credible in "AI safety". There are conflicting views and not an agreed upon body of practice for what it means, so yes there are charlatans but also just different viewpoints. Arguable the charlatans stick to some of the more mainstream stuff (if your model passes a "bias" test it's good to go). Whether someone is good or bad at AI safety is still much more of a holistic assessment. Whereas in established industries it would be obvious.

"AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real.

There are grifters who talk about existential risk, which is pure BS and people who play up identity politics and call it safety.

Why do you have to share your contact information to download the model? Otherwise it is licensed under cc-by-sa (gpl-style, changes must be shared) which is a good choice.

(Sorry just rereading and I meant demodulation, autocorrect got it the first time)

To receive AM you just need a non linearity and the x^2 term iirc will do your rectification. So any element that electrically provides some kind of nonlinear behavior (ie is not a pure R, L, or C) should give some sort of modulation.
