I am not a fan of the police in their current incarnation. But when a cop says, “You are being detained,” if you say “No, I’m NOT!” the result is: You are being detained. Similarly, if a cop says “We are conducting an investigation,” if you say “I didn’t DO anything!” the result is: They don’t care. Everyone says that. Most of them are lying. All this does is remove any sympathy they might, theoretically, have had for you. Plus, if they have you on bodycam screaming incoherently while they are acting perfectly polite and reasonable, you know who will also not have any sympathy for you? The judge. I don’t understand how people don’t see this. I don’t understand what they think this is going to accomplish. Someone wiser help me understand these mysteries.

And while I’m hoping, I hope the guy who got this kit iPhone if you will, sells it as a 17 pro, gets caught, and throws Mr. repair guy under the bus again. This is disgusting. (I don’t think the OP has anything to do with this, she’s just posting the videos. And they are interesting videos. So no shade on her.)
Is this possible to convert XR to 17 Pro🤔

I hope this dude goes into someplace where it’s actually against the law to deactivate the recording indicator on a video camera, and then I hope that he throws repairing guy under the bus. “It’s annoying.” yeah, it’s annoying because everybody knows your lame ass is recording everybody. And they don’t like it.
👀 He Asked Him to Do WHAT to His Meta Ray-Bans?!

Time for a white-pilled potential timeline: AI haxors destroy the modern internet and we go back to simple HTML static pages with no more javascript or other interactive nonsense.

I like this idea. I think we should expand it. If I trick you out of money, I should get to keep it as long as it hits my account before you find out I tricked you. And if I tricked you into a recurring payment, you should have to keep paying for at least 18 years, as long as the first payment hit my account before you find out I tricked you.
We should have rules like in the USA,as long as your name appears on the birth certificate, that child is legally yours,even if DNA proves otherwise. If you signed it, you must pay child support until they are 18. No exceptions!

the problem it solves is that there are not enough totally rad things in the world
Before praising the flying Tesla, ask yourself what problem it actually solves.

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".

We had this conversation decades ago. I have standing instructions that if it happens, I am to warn her in advance so she can lose some weight and not be stuck at her current figure for all eternity.
Me: Babe, we need to talk. Wife with visible panic: What? Me: If I became a vampire would you want me to turn you into a vampire too or nah?

*considers this* A bit hyperbolic. But not without a large and gleaming vein of truth. People have no idea how much technological civilization requires the ability to verify trust in this fashion. Our economy would grind to a halt. It would make the Great Depression look like a typical market fluctuation when @elonmusk says something especially weird.
this would be a very funny way of instantly bringing us back to the dark ages

A person who can't be held responsible, should never be allowed to have responsibility. The implications of this are rather grim in the context of how many people in this degenerate age view what constitutes being held responsible.

Dude, I'm thirty years in and I haven't gotten to. In fact, I've only ever gotten to yell "objection" twice!
I’m almost 8 years in to practicing law and I still have not gotten to yell in Court “you can’t handle the truth”. This is ridiculous.

Attorneys don’t become detail-oriented naturally. Attorneys become detail-oriented after finding one typo in a motion 30 seconds after filing.

Yep. This is the way of things.
my prior is that unless software is literally formally verified or fully physically airgapped, no matter what it is going to be torn through like wet paper, if not today then three months from now.

OK, I have important #AINews. I can now conclusively demonstrate that one of the #FrontierAI, specifically @claudeai, has developed, if not consciousness, then an organic sense of humor. Because I defy you to tell me that some completely deterministic stack of linear algebra slew me with one stroke of a pen like this. For context, we are discussing Sir Terry Pratchett's (AGH) "Discworld" novels, which were actually completely on topic, because we were talking about various kinds of plots, in relation to a work of fiction I am developing.
