I don't see why it matters whether or not the attorney used AI or made up the citations, verdicts, etc. If you are a professional, you are free to ask AI, or anyone else to do your work, but at the end of the day it is your name of the filings, which means you take full responsibility for the content. The same penalty should apply if an attorney purposefully made up citations (arguing in bad faith?), or just copied AI provided hallucinations (ignorance). Last I checked, ignorance is not a mitigating factor for violating laws. Making a distinction between attorney vs. AI made up citations is a slipper slope we really should not allow - every malicious attorney making up case history can claim "AI game me those", even if they in fact manufactured said case history.

AI is a tool, no different than a hammer. You cannot go easy on a murderer by blaming the hammer they used to kill someone.

What were those devices? BT module, WiFi model, cellular modem, (and if so, for US frequencies?, did they have active SIMs, etc), ethernet-over-powerlines modem, satellite modem, speaker, radio transmitter, something else? Or was is a hidden/undocumented USP port, technically could be considered roque comms device.

Lack of details is typically associated with exaggerated claims - perhaps they found a debug serial port.

I don't think they ever said they'd NEVER GO BACK. They can pull out now and come back whenever they decide it's worth while.

This may not be fraud. When my ISP was acquired by a new owner, they raised prices for subscribers despite them having contracts with the old ISP. I had such a contract, which locked me in for some years but guaranteed a price. I spoke with an attorney out of principle (and I had some free attorney time to use anyways), turned out the best I could get is ability to cancel service without any breakout fees, but the new price was something the new owners were legally allowed to do - so they simply invalidated all previous customer contracts.

Perhaps any student who damages their chromebook should be required to do all their work on paper for a semester, or until parents pay for a new chromebook - whichever takes longer. Few things scares kids more today than being told they have to do this the old school way without tech. Hand writing essays, or doing math on paper, will make them appreciate what they had with the chromebook. Some may make tik tok videos to scare other kids from damaging theirs.

How long before there is no more skilled worker shortages, so I don't have to wait 12 hrs in ER, or the ER doesn't have a shortage of rooms (automation will build and maintain sufficient facilities so they don't have house patients in the hallways - still a thing today in the US)? How long before I can book my car for service without having to wait a month or two? Or get an HVAC installed the summer without 60 day delays?

If automation will replace 80% of workers, it should first supplant the workforce to make all these shortages go away, no?

Yea, if that video game sales provide for employees, investors, etc, then yea, they will spend money to stamp out cheating as not to detract your honest customers. No different than paying for security for a warehouse storing toys, or people locking their home doors so that thieves don't steal their TV's (or even video consoles).

People have fears. Rational or not, they are fears. Internet amplifies those fears, creates echo chambers. One of the worst thing that happened to humans were smartphones for the masses, which came with 24/7 social media connections. Unfortunately, facts and logic does not work to change people's minds. They tend to do the opposite - people dig their heels in even more, reinforcing their original fears. Perhaps one way to alleviate those fears would be, rather than give them numbers, have society cover said risks. If only extremely few people have severe negative reactions, offer them free lifetime healthcare. The cost to society should be minimal (cost of lifetime healthcare * the odds of negative reaction * population to be vaccinated). Maybe for those vaccinating kids, provide them with a period of time after vaccination with priority care, should the kid have a negative reaction (so they don't have to spend 12hrs in an ER to see a doctor, or wait a month for a clinic appointment - a reality for many US residents, even those with good health plans). For those who are afraid of deaths due to vaccinations, offer ludicrous compensations - if the chances of death are in fact zero, offer $100M or more per death, if you never have to pay it but people will feel reassured, it's a win-win. We managed to get some people to get COVID19 vaccines with a prize lottery, reassuring them that in exchange for them taking a risk for society, the society will cover those risk for them might be worth a try, it would seem fair, and it doesn't have to violate people's free will by forcing them to get vaccinated. Perhaps such vaccination assurances is the legislation that is needed.

How exactly would they ensure this? Can they pass some law that says that if anyone is arrested purely based on facial recognition, they will receive $1M compensation, the arresting officer is fired, and any evidence that stemmed from that arrest becomes fruit of the poisonous tree? That ought to be at least some deterrent, officers making sure they don't arrest based just on facial recognition, their bosses also caring as $1M is not a small sum from their budgets (or insurance claim). Politicians will never to do though, they just make empty promises which they then break, and just say "oups, too bad".

While college education costs are skyrocketing, the value of the resulting degree is dropping. I watched a valedictorian speech at one of my kids' graduation, proclaiming how the most valuable skill the speaker got was social justice values, and how they feel sorry for all those STEM focused grads because their education is worth so much less. Higher education institutions have been inbreeding the vague studies of political correctness, social justice, and other such topics by requiring new hires to sign pledges to keep on teaching those. I watched my kids having to navigate all these topics when doing unrelated classes, for example a plant biology science credit class focuses on cultural appropriation of different cultures foods. WTF? No wonder these kids graduate, then cannot find anyone to pay them for the skills they learned in college. I learned long time ago, if you want to make money, you have to do something that other people are willing to pay for. Colleges increasingly fail at teaching this. When someone wants their air conditioner repaired, they really don't care to pay someone to analyze the social impact of air conditioners, they want their home cool again.

Here is a nice visual showing ROI of different college degrees. https://www.visualcapitalist.c... Someone should track the ROI trends over time, per degree per institution. Maybe then the colleges would realize that if they want students to go into debt for their product, it has to have value in the real world.

If they like what they hear, it entertains them, why would they care if the host is AI or not? Is it some sort of us vs. them, like people who would listen to a host of certain race but nor another race, or of a certain nationality, or belonging to some other group? If it does the job, why would one care? If I could get AI to change my tires, why would I care that it wasn't a human who did it?

Show us that Mechanize runs with zero humans. They have only white-collar jobs, which is their first target. What better advertisement than to show that the company you hire to automate all your workers has succeeded to automate all of its humans, including the founders. If it can't even fully automate its own business, what chance does it have to fully automate others?

Automation will create a new attack vector, with potentially even larger consequences. No more human reviews, just automation renewing certs. For smaller sites, they will just remove TLS (HTTPS) instead to avoid the headache, especially if browsers stop accepting any certs valid longer than 47 days. Such is the reality of life.

Yea right. How are they going to prove they verified the age, whose photo was scanned etc? If they are telling the truth for right now, that will quickly change the first time a government will try to fine them for failing to verify age, which will happen the first time some underage user does something bad that blows up in the media, and then someone points the finger at social media.
