Make no mistake, this is simply a warning from the government to the supreme court.

Imagine however if the court would use this case as a test, to see whether or not they still have any influence at all in the separation of powers.

And still, he is smaller than your mom.

I think vercel (formerly zeit.co) has a free tier for static websites.

This article is from May

In that case a cli tool would suffice

They could use a new icon and some work on the UX

All the politics is probably messing with the value of their content for training A.I.

I'm not from the U.S., but why would people from the military get a discount? If you do that as a store, why not doctors and nurses too? Why stop there and why not include firefighters, government workers or teachers?

And who compensates you as a business owner for these giveaways? If your store happens to be close to an army base, do you just accept the disadvantage of giving away part of your profit?

It sounds pretty stupid. People should get paid enough to pay full price for their stuff. Especially by the government. Especially in a country that allocates an enormous part of their GDP to their military.

It takes people's collective work and then requires those same people to pay to use it. It allows already mega wealthy companies to get even richer by selling people's own creativity back to them.

I also see a lot of privacy issues - the fact that let loose on a specific data set (like Facebook) it then knows anything about anyone. Even if I don't use Facebook myself because I hate it - if someone would congratulate my spouse with the 10th birthday of our son Chris, A.I. now knows I have a son, born on this day in 2015, his name is Chris. That fact isn't stored in a database where it's easily erased. It's part of a probability vector in an artificial brain, where it can't be removed even if I request the source data to be deleted. This is actually what worries me more, for all the good AI can do, there is a lot more evil. If the Nazis would have this in 1940, there would be no resistance movement. It would be trivial to see who would be part of it and who would be their families and friends.

This. And all that "convenience" makes the world uglier and less human. Where we used to take a taxi on holiday and have a chat with the driver about his life and his family, and get a few tips on where to eat where the locals eat, we can now get robotaxied somewhere without any human interaction at all. And we get doctored made up images of destinations that don't exist, by people that look like manga versions of themselves. We truly live in the cheapest version of the world nowadays.

I wonder if they will broadcast it on live television, like they did with the meeting with Zelensky. /S
