Have a nice day.

When you acted exasperated at having to explain something, for example. Or now, asking for proof that you were mad. These things are not done in normal, polite conversation.

So you literally got mad at a made-up scenario in your head?

And why would this particular law exempt Azure Linux only and specifically?

I meant that the law is easily bypassed, for example by not implementing what you described. Good point nonetheless.

What does that have to do with anything?

It answers the title, says why now, and refers to the POTUS and his “tendency” to act on personal rather than national interest. I don’t think it was that unhelpful, though of course it’s a simplification.

I’m not saying I’m smarter than you but to me it looks like “Hey yeah we require age verification. So, anyway…”

A token easily bypassed “verification” law to set and forget. It’s basically the same level of security corrently keeping teenage boys off of PornHub.

Microsoft’s own servers run Linux. An in-house build IIRC named Azure Linux.

Your average legislator hears the word “Docker” and imagines a ship unloading cargo. Of course computers on ships need age verification! Voters will appreciate a crackdown on nautical child labor.

I was referring to The Lord of the Rings.

So tue tldr is just what we already knew: LLMs predict the most likely word to come next and have no concept of “true” or “false” information.

Indeed, to have such a concept would require understanding that information and any AI that actually understood information wouldn’t be an LLM because LLMs are just fancy autocorrect.

“Seems” being the operating word here. But children think that Muppets are conscious. People lose their temper at self-checkout machines. Faithful of different religions attribute will and power to all sorts of idols and other inanimate objects like supposed fragments of a specific cross. The most famous work of fantasy fiction is about a malevolent piece of jewelry. Humans are very good at attributing consciousness to non-conscious entities. We are easily fooled in this respect.

Even if some putative AI may be conscious, an LLM is just something that looks up words in a database with probability weights attached. This technology cannot lead to consciousness.

Can’t let people say the truth, it would inconvenience your masters.

In Brazil, only crimes against life such as murder or manslaughter are put before a jury.

The rapist in this case has ties to large drug cartels. It’s not unthinkable that the judges do too and were told to let him off the hook. Either that or they’re pedos themselves, but there’s definitely something very strange going on that hasn’t been made public.

Hi. Brazilian former lawyer here.

It was because the appeals court judges disagreed with the law, basically. See, any sort of sexual encounter with a person under 14 is considered statutory rape in Brazil, but the judges decided to base their decision on the “regular” rape article, which requires some kind of violence, drugging or deception.

To be perfectly clear, this is not and never was up to them. If a conduct matches a criminal type, which this one absolutely does, the judge does not have the authority to ignore it because it doesn’t match some other arbitrary type. You don’t get to walk free from murder because you didn’t rob a newsstand while murdering. This decision was entirely illegal and will be reversed, especially now thay the media is aware. I just hope the disgusting pervert judges who wrote it are expelled from their jobs as well.

How do you explain autoimmune diseases then?
