The point of the "its not going away" comment is because a shocking number of people think the solution to AI is to, I dunno, delete it.
As a technology, it is out in the world. It isn't going away any more than electricity or the internet. So any solutions to the real problems with AI that are essentially "make it go away" are essentially nonsense. Might as well propose wishing it away with a genie.
"It's not going away" is not equivalent to "there's nothing we can do to solve the problems"; it just means that the solution has to be in a framework where it is implemented alongside AI.
That is a solution, make it very unappealing to use it. If it's clearly a crime, most people don't have the hardware to do it, and others don't have the motivation, it'd help a lot. And again, NFTs
Most people do have the hardware to run them. Maybe not super high end ones but middle of the road ones.
Again, the solution won't ever be "no more AI". The solution will be regulation, social safety nets, taxation, etc.
They are crimes, they stole their data, and the ones people can run locally still are a part of those crime rings. Plus the ones that can run locally aren't very good, not that the larger ones are too great either
What court case are you referring to?
What court case did I bring up?
How do you determine that a crime has been committed without a court case?
Same way we always do? look at what happened, and see that a crime happened
That breathtakingly wrong. Yikes.
Do we need to have a court case to say that all of the criminals in the files are criminals? of course not. We can see their actions, and the laws and say that they committed many many crimes.
Yes, you need a verdict from a court to know whether someone committed a crime. Is this not taught in school anymore??
You can't just accuse someone of breaking the law and end it there. Holy hell.
you need schooling, this is like people who shout that others are breaking the first amendment not thinking that it only applies to the government. Courts determine if it's a crime to a certain degree of certainty for the government, we are not the government. We are people who can use our eyes to see that people break the laws and have not been sued yet. it's not magically not a crime if they aren't sued over it.
So if someone on the internet calls you a thief and I see it, you're a thief?
Think this through.
