OP is making up windmills to joust at.

Trump is near his age. Trump is threatening the safety of innocents the world over.

I am not calmed by their ages.


The recording enables the enforcement. It's of the nature of "If you see something, say something" - blah blah "if you're innocent you have nothing to fear" blah blah.

Presumption of innocence runs counter to general surveillance, in a broad sense.


Fritz Thyssen and Hugo Junkers were arrested by the Nazis for being unhelpful.

Alfried Krupp was helpful to them... and was declared a war criminal by the Allies.

The point being: no one is above karma's reach, until they die. And if they care about their reputation, not even then.


IRDC if the LLMs "understand" anything. They are being used here to produce outputs that are desirable. (Neglecting the real possibility that this "survey" is complete BS, as noted elsewhere.)

Exactly

Yes, and aircraft carriers are more fascinating than OTS drones carrying grenades.

Yet...


I find it completely daunting to speak of evolutions processes without some anthropomorphism sneaking in, despite being a hardcore atheist.

It's all so complex, and our verbs that more literally describe the billions of nanosecond operations going on in the cells feel inadequate. "When a protein molecule in an appropriate folded shape and orientation happens to be bounced by kinetic energy into the attractive region of a corresponding protease..." versus "The protease grabs the protein and cuts it into..."


Yeah... so pretty much exactly, precisely, 100.000% the opposite of that.

Wouldn't that require a constant filter, to ensure that L-processes never use R-amino compounds? Seems almost like a Maxwell's Demon would be required in every cell...

They just can't use those compounds. Many medications have L and R forms of which only one is active. Right-methamphetamine is, well, methamphetamine, but left-methamphetamine is a nasal decongestant. Which is to say that the unwanted variation of a compound can be harmless.

Just about every molecule in every cell is already a maxwell's demon. They only fit together in specific ways.


But MP3 players have proven that adding another weak link can still enshittify more.
