    Again, the 'slaughterbots' in this video are semi-AWS - their targets were selected by human beings. THEY WOULDN'T BE PROHIBITED BY A BAN ON FULLY AUTONOMOUS WEAPON SYSTEMS. Maybe we should focus on regulating the use of semi-AWS instead of misleading scaremongering.

    best thing about this protest sign is the certain knowledge that a second trekkie rolled down their window to say, actually, it's rule 34... 🤣

    Thanks, , for making this important legal point that may otherwise be lost in the political spin: **Both the U.S. AND the Iranian strikes were unlawful.**

    While spending a summer using microcontact printing to make suspended nanostructures at the Cornell University nanolab, I decided it would be a good idea to tie all the bedsheets in the dorm together and use them to climb down from a third-floor window.

    This argurment - that AI systems are state actors - has fascinating implications for the law of state responsibility.

    Prof. () identifies in "The Internet of Torts" a liability gap for harms caused by internet-connected devices, which can endanger users when tinkered with from afar. That harm, she argues, is not yet adequately redressable.

    Law Schools needs large fireplaces, with crackling fires kept burning throughout winter, over-sized couches, fluffy blanket, and hot cocoa. Purely to make the torts profs nervous.

    This also highlights a general problem in many “AI is outperforming professionals” studies. So many of them examine a tiny fraction of what the human worker does, “grade” it with a prematurely quantified rubric optimized for AI, & then—voila!—“find” the AI did better.

    when you have to stomp out the face in the snow so your surveillance camera stops texting you

    Facebook post with a photo of a face-like blob in the snow, reading: "so we have an outdoor security camera with face recognition alerts that are sent to our phones to alert us of unfamiliar faces in the backyard. Well, the alerts were spamming our phones all night long because of this face that the camera was picking up. Oh, come on really!"
    Facebook comment reading "this is me destroying the face before heading to work." with photo of person in jacket holding bags stomping on the snow.
