There a loads of cars with automatic transmission in Europe - especially the newer, medium to premium level cars. But it definitely isn‘t as prevalent as in the US.

It is no problem at all to drink coffee or even eat while driving a manual car, so no idea where this comes from ;)


That‘s just silly - I drive my (manually shifted) car basically solely in the highest gear in non-city traffic and have the same effect. Nothing to do with automatic, but with powerful cars.


Not only no jail, but the fine is laughable as well …


Yeah this, setting the price to $100k to guide core laws around $B businesses in a way to override public feedback is cheap. Sounds like it is now officially open season.


Why is it that a STATE AG is pressing for money while US AG does nothing?

STATE AG used Federal IG investigation to extract money from these crooks.

Why didn't FBI raid these companies?

They raided a ex-Presidents private residence for papers.

Identity Theft x 1 Million counts


> Why didn't FBI raid these companies?

Because that's not really how the FBI works. Recovering classified material from someone not entitled to be in possession of it is totally different. You probably want to read more, you seem to be speaking only at a very surface level, probably more than just Facebook too.

That said, while your rational for why they should be raided by the FBI is insane. I'm with you on the underlying idea. It seems crazy to me too that no federal agency is seeking charges under 18 USC 1001. How'd they avoid that?

Less career opportunities need not be bad if they are better payed and the companies are more accommodating.


Well, get better data protection. Cash is a pain in the ass …


The US government is unable to keep something as simple as its terrorist watchlist in good shape. People are constantly found to be terrorists when in fact, they are not. Imagine what it will be like when they can control your spending via digital currency.


Wait until you are trying to buy food/gas &in a town after the internet and/or power is out. That has happened to me many times ... in north america... in only the last few years. Perfect network connectivity is only a norm in big cities.


And what would you propose? I think just using a debit/credit card in any capacity would make it so someone is tracking your purchases.


> And what would you propose?

Laws and enforcing them.


I concur.


Yeah, might be worried about open, crowd sourced approaches like Open Assistant (https://open-assistant.io/).


> Playing around with GPT at this level you get the feeling that “recursive GPT” is very close to AGI. You could even ask GPT to reinforcement learn itself, adding new prompts based on fixes to previous questions. Of course, who knows what will happen to all this when GPT-4 drops.

Leaning out of the window way too much here. This has nothing to do with AGI, which would require an intrinsic understanding of not only SQL, but over, well, everything, not just a well-defined and easily checkable field like SQL.

Regarding GPT-4 - OpenAI‘s CEO Sam Altman stated that the expectations regarding GPT-4 are way over-hyped. People on the Internet talk as if AGI is coming in the guise of GPT-4, but it‘s „just“ going to be an incrementally better evolution of GPT-3.5.

Mind, I‘m in no way saying that LLM‘s aren’t exciting - they are to me - or that they will not change the world, but leave your horses in the stable.


Right - it might be like self-driving cars: incredible progress, but the remaining task to get them to actually drive safely might be impossible.


Well, just open a new GPU Colab and create a cell mit „!pip install imaginairy“ and you should be good to go …


Funny they didn’t include OpenAI in the lawsuit …
