Re:Xbox goes down. You can't play games you own on disc on Tuesday August 04, 2026 @09:14AM (#49168509)
remember that time all of the frontier AI labs trained their models on copyrighted material and no one batted an eyelid? If they can do that, I don't see why I can't back up my CD's and DVDs or digital purchases with digital copies sourced from the high seas. If buying isn't owning...

A few stats I just looked up on people with downs syndrome:

- Over 90% of children are enrolled in public school.

  - 79% of those are in general education classrooms.
- Approx. 50% of adults are employed.
I audibly gasped when I read that. You would hope that "no engineer with proper common sense" will do that. The more we offload our thinking to agents though... I feel like it will be harder to reason against it as time goes on, until someone gets burned personally. Where I am there is zero emphasis on security with agents

Isn't your view of freedom of speech basically the same as what's already law? Incitement of violence is already illegal.

I don't believe that warrants them being purged from existence.
