I agree that there's very often a "world ending, women most effected" tone in the media, but... doesn't this article explicitly go against that? It's not complaining that women aren't being equally enticed to throw away their money gambling.
Not in the same sense the US or Russia. The Sino-Vietnamese war was brief, about a month. Compare that to US or Russian wars. Now, Im not saying that China won't start wars since they've become a lot stronger. Just looking at it through a historic perspective.
I'm sure that the people of Tibet at the very least would feel strongly about the notion of a peaceful, non-expansionist China. You could ask the people of the Philippines as well, or for an admittedly more complicated answer the people of Japan and the RoK.
China is also happily supporting Russia in their invasion of Ukraine, which makes the "not waging war" distinction a bit academic.
I never said they were peaceful and non-expansionist, just that it's unlikely they'd turn to war for those gains.
They also have fought wars, and my wording was admittedly bad. They haven't fought a serious war in a long time, and their military activity in general has been limited to a few border standoffs which I certainly wouldn't take as an indication of its willingness to fight for something like expansion
Even better, what if you transform that stolen CD into an MP3, so the data isn’t the same as a lossy process was used, then share the MP3 with the world as your own work?
I don’t get why the training process doesn’t count as any other form of transformation but then I’m not a lawyer.
What will happen is what has happened for the past few years: mostly nothing. People employed, things keep trucking forward.
LLMs do not change the equation all that much: human's ability to imagine is the most scarce resource on the planet and LLMs will not help all that much with it.
Just a natural rebalancing of the Rise of the Laptop Class. I think we'll get more productive as the white collar jobs become more efficient, and less days with 8hrs of meetings and responding to emails from people too lazy to look information up themselves.
I mean it’s no coincidence that Labour adopted the Tory Online Safety Act and at the same time as Keir Starmer started pushing Blair’s old National ID system again.
They’ve wanted total surveillance for quite a while. Now politicians and billionaires are talking about making it happen.
That sounds like a lot of liability. For one thing, it almost certainly means that the vehicle is being sold without the manufacturers warranty. It also might mean that the manufacturern won't even support the vehicle for service. And finally, by disabling OTA updates there could be safety implications.
I'm always left with the impression that they wouldn't give a shit if they weren't affecting women.
