No. No it doesn't, ALL human-like behavior stems from its training data ... that comes from humans.

Well, it's also stupid to use RAM size as an indicator of a machines CPU load capability...
Definitely sending off some tech illiterate vibes.
Edison was DEFINITELY not unique or new in how he was a shithead looking for money more than inventing useful things... Like, at all.
Yes, if you factor in the source of disposable culture: capitalism.
"Move fast and break things" is the software equivalent of focusing solely on quarterly profits.
Definitely part of it. The other part is soooo many companies hire shit idiots out of college. Sure, they have a degree, but they've barely understood the concept of deep logic for four years in many cases, and virtually zero experience with ANY major framework or library.
Then, dumb management puts them on tasks they're not qualified for, add on that Agile development means "don't solve any problem you don't have to" for some fools, and... the result is the entire industry becomes full of functionally idiots.
It's the same problem with late-stage capitalism... Executives focus on money over longevity and the economy becomes way more tumultuous. The industry focuses way too hard on "move fast and break things" than making quality, and ... here we are, discussing how the industry has become shit.
Wouldn't the allegory for class be job? Or maybe career?
No, they're pointing out the chilling effect of shitting on the topic.
You're the kind of fuckwit that would say Chris Hansen does no good against predators because he's one guy doing a small set of stings... You're the kind of guy who'd shit on a compromise policy that's otherwise still a step in the right direction. You're the kind of guy to make good the enemy of great.
and you have the gall to use insults when YOU are the one committing the social faux pas...
Pathetic. If you're going to point out flaws, be constructive with it. Otherwise it is still on YOU if someone assumes negative intent from unconstructive criticism.
It would definitely be a bit more annoying to program, and a bit more naggy to the user for permissions during setup I'm sure, and running in the background would take some finagling and extra work and iOS could still kill it in the background on you ... but otherwise it'd be the same.
Apple fans are not that type of person, though. They're better than everyone else, and so is their owning entity! They can do no wrong, this app was obviously guilty of doxxing cops ...
IMO, this kind of amazement mostly points to humans not really unserstanding how tiny the building blocks of reality are. Even the "massive" protein molecules your body uses with hundreds of thousands of atoms in them, tens of thousands of amino acid chains, can fit many on the tip of a sewing needle.
Titin has over 30,000 amino acids in it, and barely gets over 1um in length. That's barely wider than a sharp razor blade's edge, and they're orders of magnitude sharper than most knives.
The scale of the world is crazy, and we are already giants in it.
That won't protect shit. You need laws that actually protect and preserve privacy. Otherwise they'll just find some loophole. Like the NSA in the US. Not supposed to get searched without a warrant to the point where evidence gathered in such ways is supposed to be inadmissable in court... But your data isn't your property.
Even if it were your property, you'd have to add protections so that just because a company handles your data doesn't magically make it their data to sell for profit so it ends up spread far and wide and hackable in dozens of databases around the world.
If you don't protect PRIVACY and your right to control your own data, they'll just say they can force companies to use more hackable methodologies instead of an outright back door. They'll just force government ID to get on the web so even just your comms patterns without the content can be very telling. They could even simply force companies to forward the data some other way after the data legally becomes the company's data...
If you try to protect "from mass surveilance" without understanding the legal avenues in which your data is extracted... you'll just end up making room some other way while innoculating the tech illiterate public from how vulnerable their data still is.
Remember, nobody thought there was mass surveilance in the US until Snowden leaked it... Even then, the tech illiterate do not understand how it is EXACTLY a runaround of the fourth amendment.
It would depend entirely on how it was phased out. If it's straight up now totally illegal, they'd have to shut down or change product. If it's just becoming a restricted chemical, they'd have to attain licenses or some other form of permission and likely find new customers since I doubt you'd be able to sell to the general public.
I'm sure there are good and bad examples of how governments handled it all throughout history... Even recent history. Which country had the dumbass that basically made extrajudicial and vigilante killings of drug dealers legal? If such a turn happened for my product in such a country, I'd be closing up shop pretty fast if my product was made illegal...
Cocaine itself would likely be more under the "just shut down" side, since refining plants and stuff is a bit less transferrable of a skill/process than, say, chemistry skills and tools for cooking meth. Though that's an assumption, because I don't know the process! Maybe it'd be easy to switch to a different product.
