Yeah. The extreme LLM skeptics aren't doing their cause any good by knowingly or unknowingly misrepresenting where things are now.

(And I'm saying that as someone who still thinks lots of the productivity claims made by execs about AI use in their companies are bullshit.)

Depends on your definition of "prosecute". The IRS could file lots and lots of levies.

Since WW2 employers are required to withhold income tax (and other taxes like Social Security & Medicare) from employee pay and remit that to the govt.

When people file they are truing that up against their overall situation (non-wage income, deductions other than the standard deduction, etc).

For a huge chunk of the population taxes are taken out of their pay and the only thing that happens at filing time is getting a refund or paying a little more in taxes.

And sure, you could file a false W-4 to try to stop withholding, but employers can be ordered by the IRS to ignore those.

Because the laws of armed combat have not concerned and do not concern themselves with the justness of the state of belligerency. They are only about the justness of actions taken, given that the belligerency is happening.

2) It is suing in its own name because the ACLU itself was injured by the law.

What the ACLU is *not* doing in any way whatsoever is just generally suing because it doesn't like something that the law did to someone else.

You still don't understand what's going on.

When the ACLU "takes a case" it is doing so in one of two ways:
1) It is providing free lawyering to the person who is/was actually injured by the law. In that case the *person* is suing and ALCU is being their free lawyer.

And? Being adults who decided to use AI and trust the output makes them negligent. It doesn’t remotely support your claim of β€œthey intentionally decided to kill the girls”.

Especially since there are zillions of examples in physics where matrices that describe something can have different numbers but yield the same physics! (QM operators that describe the same operation but referenced to different basis vectors come to mind for example.)

No they can't. Not unless those specific organizations or watchdog groups are specifically damaged by what Fox News (or whoever) says.

These clowns never see that because they always arrogantly and incredibly stupidly think that only people who agree with them will ever be in charge. Which is a wild thing to believe given, you know, the past 10 years.

Yes they should, because the govt deciding what "lies" are is punishin those would be worse.

As for the US, the government isn't "allowed" to do anything about it because of its own governing documents. Feel free to get 2/3 of the House, 2/3 of the Senate, and 38 states to agree to change that.

Then they can report the *fact* that some politician, etc. said something.

Also, the statement "tens of thousands of people died within three days of getting a covid shot" is 100% objective, incontestable fact. (It doesn't mean the shot *caused* the deaths, of course). Including that *fact* in a story is very, very much opinion.

Like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target.

* What stories are covered at all is opinion.
* Where in the program stories are covered is an opinion.
* What facts is mentioned in the story is an opinion.
* The wording of the story is an opinion.
and on and on and on

The fact that we're all descendants of the B Ark. Explains a lot.

I can't remember the exact wording, but the "anyone who wants to be the Galactic President is disqualified from being it" concept is A+ 100% dead on.

The "rest of the world" has long agreed to and plays by the very same "stupid 'logic'" and "stupid legal games around war".

Yes, really.

That was dishonorable given the circumstances but it wasn't a war crime.

It's slimy and dishonorable, but it's not a war crime.

(And submarines for the entire history of submarines leave survivors of the ships they sink to drown.)

If you say β€œwhatever you do is illegal if the war is illegal” you’re incentivizing things like shooting POWs, targeting civilians, etc. Because if not doing those things is still illegal you might as well go all out and try to win, damn the niceties.

No, you absolute nincompoop. You choose to spend your leisure time doing activism. Which is laudable. But then you go and post incredibly stupid shit like this and show your whole ass

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

The Lusitania wasn’t a flagged warship of the opposing belligerent crewed by members of that country’s navy.
