There should be leadership at the top focussing the efforts of developers though. Developers wanting to make new stuff doesn't only happen because of turnover.

When they don't like it. You disagree with the regime, but the vast majority of UKranians do not.

That's literally censorship though. If you get fined for saying a thing, you are being censored.

Quoting Wikipedia[1] quoting the US Supreme Court,

The thread running through all these cases is that prior restraints on speech and publication are the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights. A criminal penalty or a judgment in a defamation case is subject to the whole panoply of protections afforded by deferring the impact of the judgment until all avenues of appellate review have been exhausted. Only after judgment has become final, correct or otherwise, does the law's sanction become fully operative.

A prior restraint, by contrast and by definition, has an immediate and irreversible sanction. If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions after publication "chills" speech, prior restraint "freezes" it at least for the time.

Go to a theatre and start shouting "fire"

Free speech isn't about saying whatever you want without consequence.

And this is a bloody ad on the TV.

You can shout fire in a theater all you want.

What you can't do is shout it in a way that makes people believe there is legitimate danger AND your actions cause subsequent panic.

The crime isn't so much about the speech as it is about the damage that that speech causes.

It's a subtle distinction, but an important one.

And can we agree that there are lies that companies tell on adverts that can cause damage?

Carlsbergs tag line is still "probably the best beer in the world" despite it probably being not.

So the comparison works.

  > And can we agree that there are lies that companies tell on adverts that can cause damage?

Yes, and very often those companies get sued. I'll agree no often enough. But I'll also note that the outrage leading up to the lawsuit is far more visible than the results of that legal action. I'll also agree that that legal action is often too slow.

  > Carlsbergs tag line is still "probably the best beer in the world" despite it probably being not.

The lie has to be believable and cause damage. Was the unclear from my comment?

Even if they remove "probably" they could still get away with it because it isn't going to be believable and I doubt you could show damage. Just in the same way so many cafes have "Best coffee in X" and how frequently you see mugs like "Best Dad in the world." No one is getting sued over those because they aren't believable. I agree they're deceptive and in bad taste, but I think if you take some time to sit down and think about it you'll realize that to make statements like those illegal you're going to have a lot of unintended consequences.

I said you can't say whatever you want without consequence. Giving the example of shouting fire.

You responded pointing out it has to be believable, ie real harm done.

I brought it back full circle showing that adverts can 'lie' if it isn't believable.

I am pointing out you are reinforcing my original point, not detracting from it.

Oh okay that's the misunderstanding. I thought you were trying to rebut my comment. My bad.

This is exactly why LLMs will replace humans: even if the work is crap, nobody will be accountable for the crap work, and it saves money.

Work where "crap" is an acceptable level of quality is work that probably doesn't need to be done.

So I think it's more likely that LLMs unravels the "bullshit jobs" entirely, rather than replacing them with crap. Once people realize it didn't matter if the output sucked, they'll realize the output wasn't needed in the first place.

A monopoly on what? The most popular OS is from Google.

Where are you getting this info from? Windows' consumer market share is not even being challenged right now.

Android. Far more devices.

Android ~ 4bn

Windows ~ 1.5bn

More specifically OpenAI has agreed to be used for domestic mass surveillance and for autonomous (no human in the loop anywhere) drone attacks. ChatGPT will decide which building to destroy, and then it will be destroyed.

That's supposing the autonomous kill chain needs more than one 9. There are wars going on right now with less than 20% targeting accuracy.

we are going to do the same "everything is binary" engineer thing with bombs and innocent casualties we did with self driving? there is also an accountability crisis that will unfold if we loose these things on the world, it is not just one metric is better than human operators therefore take your hands off the wheel and hope for the best. Please file a ticket with support if your child's school was accidentally destroyed.

"Portable" has originally meant "able to be ported" and not "is already ported"
