There’s a significant possibility that the technology will not require enormous amounts of compute to train sooner than some might think. None of these companies want to spend money they don’t have to.

While a program is eligible for copyright, anything small enough to be considered a snippet likely wouldn’t be unless it is sufficiently expressive or original.

That’s how they got the name

As I posted above:

It doesn’t need to be tied to a mechanism which reduces visibility.

I support rate-limiting. I also feel that clients should enable their users to configure their own views, and be able to cast their votes as they see fit without any authoritarian push to control what should be their choice.

That metaphor would be applicable if you could see through the person. Down votes could be implemented in a way which you could just ignore or disable in your client without depriving others of a signal they value.

Labeling things opposite of your preference as ‘warfare’ and ‘cancer’ and declaring they lead to a specific outcome without proof is much worse.

We can have more minimum-resistance feedback signals than just neutral or positive. We don’t need to pretend that every comment or interaction will be sunshine and rainbows. It doesn’t need to be tied to a mechanism which reduces visibility.

Rule breaking and bad faith actors / trolling should instead be reported and handled via moderation. Downvotes should simply be the opposite of an upvote.

Which would never be rooted or jailbroken in the first place so why even bring it up in this this context?

Decrypting? I don’t think any of the similar-strength protection measures which have been defeated were done by brute-forcing the decryption key. There would undoubtedly be attacks which exploit other flaws.

That said, I agree that libre hardware would be the better option.

for a privacy-centered set of software developers to have

(Especially since they’re “not some small-fry company”) No developers would have been involved in this, it was 100% marketing dept and likely some service provider they use.

Agreed! However, I took the comment above yours to be referring to design.

Everything since the manga have been based on it?

While this Motoko looks very similar, some of the other characters in this version are the furthest from the original IMO.

Well since you’ve taken a detour away from reality, the answer would have to be that they would utilize a perfectly effective magic spell.

That on its own would not provoke creation of a law.

Sure, that increased attention probably makes a difference, but ‘gun culture’ is not the reason US police forces often seem to do a mediocre job investigating gang vs gang killing. Nor is having guns what makes the killings happen. It’s exactly the other way around. They have the guns in order to kill their gang opposition. If you could magically un-invent guns they would be using other tool to do it because the numerous other societal problems which created the environment of desperation hadn’t been solved.

criminals don’t feel they MUST have a gun to defend from the police

Criminals know that they won’t win a gunfight against the police. Instead they always flee, and if they’re caught often have their guns on them or in their vehicle.

Most criminals in the US who carry guns do so to kill rival criminals. The police or law-abiding civilians being disarmed wouldn’t change that.

What do you mean by “support”, and how would that harm their nation?

Get real. Nobody is enough of a masochist to do college homework on a de-googled android phone. (Sent from my Brax3)

Surprise! It is literally chemicals.
