Seriously. Exploring the topic and jumping from 1970s to 2003 without mentioning the Cocteau Twins is criminal.

Who needs occam's razor when you've got a mobieus shaped breadknife?

Loitering laws have existed since english commonlaw, but in the modern era were adapted to penalize homelessness, unemployment, etc...

Agents interacting with humans on an emotional level is manipulative.

You've repeatedly stated that your goal is to make agentic conversations seem more human. This is deception that most people neither want nor need.

We're not trying to be deceptive. In fact, whenever we deploy agents over iMessage, we make it very clear that they're speaking with an AI agent and that they can request human handoff if they want. The goal is to make conversations with AI agents feel more conversational and less automated.

If you don't hold people accountable for removing the liberty of others without just cause, those who abuse their power will continue to run rampant.

Where does this idea come from that we somehow can't take power away from people without criminal punishment after the fact?

Nobody should have this power, and then abuse of power wouldn't be an issue.

If you want to reform the justice system, more power to you, but while it exists the last people who should be exempt from its reach are those who wield its power in criminal ways.

Trump is the sort of old school racist whose entire model of the world couldn't tolerate Obama as POTUS.

Looks like they found the one cop on the force who doesn't obscure the license plate of their private vehicle.

As Gibson himself said, the Matrix owed a lot more to Phillip K. Dick than to his sprawl trilogy.

...and as indicated by the presence of the comic on set while shooting the Matrix, and as said by Grant Morisson, the Matrix was largely derrivative of The Invisibles.
