I think it’s valuable to make the distinction, whether it’s based on linux or not. Just like it’s valuable to make the distinction between unix and macOS.

Because despite all that sophistic nonsense, one of those allows an already too powerful corporation to extend its monopoly into the hardware realm, while reducing user agency.

Wasn’t it mostly ice?
I wouldn’t, the same way I wouldn’t lump the two Americas together.
Europe is a bit more hazy. What to do of Russia or Turkey?

Hm, the concept of Afroeurasia opens some interesting possibilities in extending the EU.

Eurasia is a single continent, the distinction between the two is cultural.

Annoying. Don’t let the industry autoregulate, it’s always lukewarm and ineffective.
Legislate. Ban underage gambling.
This is not a complicated issue, at all, the only barriers are lobbying and corruption.

Intellectual property is intellectual theft.

Very skeptical of that one.
They’ve been trying to target amyloid for more than a decade, and it’s the first time I hear of it actually working.

The treatment seem to have huge side effects (brain bleeding and swelling) and lead to patient death during the study.
Elly Lilly is also know for marketing zyprexa as a treatment for dementia (despite inefficacy and increased risk of death). Which is IMO criminal, at best unethical. I’m not inclined to trust them at all.

I hope I’m wrong and it works. Alzheimer is a terrible way to go.

Don’t screen shot then, post the text. Or a txt. I think that conversation should be interesting.

We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.

High quality sarcasm.

Unethical does not even begin to cut it. It’s firmly in horrifying territory for me.
If a construction company taxidermied their dead workers into animatronics and used those unholy puppets to perform the same job, it wouldn’t shock me more.

Relatable.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

AI fear is going to be the trojan horse for even harsher and stupider ‘intellectual property’ laws.

A few things. How do we know it’s going to be Pegasus? How do you know the price, why is it so expensive (and why would anyone assume it to stay so)?

Because if it actually is Pegasus, the main problem with this bill isn’t surveillance (although it is most definitely a problem),
but the tacit endorsement of this unregulated infoweapon.

As the poet said: doubleplusungood.

This isn’t going to be regularly used.

(눈‸눈)

Isn’t the whole point of AI decision making to provide plausible deniability for these sort of things?

I have absolutely no idea, you could try asking the devs or look into webtorrent.
