- joe463369Please read the report linked in the article. This in not a policy announcement. This a report from a government-appointed official illustrating that there is a theoretical possibility that the current legalisation may be interpreted in a way they didn't intend.
- How on earth is holding an inquiry burying it? It's the opposite.
- It didn't happen in the US though, so that's neither here nor there. America's political system is not some benchmark that the rest of the world needs to judge themselves against.
- There is nothing in your link that says that the UK government is considering banning knives with pointy tips
- The UK can and does prosecute grooming gangs.
- "Fair enough, we've a long history of lynching black people and killing native americans, but we're not as bad as the Nazis"
That's some position to take.
- And The Lancet?
- A markedly different tone in this thread to the ones discussing Ofcom's attempt to fine 4chan.
- > we were not operating in the EU. Well, we had customers there...
- The BBFC still exists today and serves pretty much the same purpose as the MPA in the land of the free. Is there any practical difference between the two?
- > whataboutism isn't an argument
You weren't making an argument. You were repeating the tedious 'coloniser Brits' trope as a 'zing' in your words. I'm just reminding you that your shit stinks too.
- I invite you to search HN for 'libor' and see how many of the American users of this website were affronted by the vast fines dished out by the US government to UK-headquartered banks for manipulating the LONDON Interbank Offered Rate from their offices in London, UK. If you can find a single one I'll eat my hat.
- > I suppose in their defense, culturally, the UK hasn't respected many borders apart from their own so this really isn't anything new.
Did the US respect the borders of Hawaii?
- > I believe it also to be true that the IDF do not want to kill civilians
They should probably stop shooting them then.
- > I think Cloud providers should be common carriers. I don’t think that it is a good thing when a company can make an arbitrary decision and disable functionality that you have put millions of dollars and thousands or tens of thousands of person hours into.
Exactly! The IDF have put a lot of effort in to this genocide.
- That's not satire. That's some crypto-gobshites laying it on thick so you'll think about gambling on their exchange."Things are a bit crap so put your life savings into Luna". Absolute vermin.
- I think with Waymo we're probably at the point where an insurer could have decent stab at what their liability would be if asked to cover AI-related accidents. In fact, given that these cars are on the road and have reportedly been in accidents, I would imagine this is past being a hypothetical concern and now well into the territory of 'solved problem'.
- Doesn't this answer the question then? Dodgy breaks or dodgy AI, it's on you if your car cleans out someone crossing the road.
- If today I buy a brand new car, drive off the lot and the breaks fail causing me to plough into a pedestrian and kill them, who is to blame?
- > If you go from £99,999 to £100,000
That's not where I would say the line between working class and middle class should be drawn.
