Not needing AI isn’t the point. The point is that AI can do it, and AI doesn’t require a programmer to design and debug a bespoke algorithm to accomplish a task.

Maybe we should stop to call "AI" everything that is able to solve something by bruteforce.
A true AI, given the board and the rules, should have understood in less than a picoseconds that it need to avoid the holes, like a human does. What this AI did was simply to learn the rules, and a human is still faster in this (at this game at least).

It would take a human a lot longer than 6 hours to perfect an algorithm to do this.

Man, the game has the solution drawn on it. A human perfect the algorithm in less than 6 seconds and it probably solve the game in way less than 6 hours. The point of the game is to follow, not to find, the path.

Yes, but even if the base model hardware is incapable of doing something, someone savvy enough could modify it.

Which negate the whole point of the discussion.

If someone can modify it, the same someone does not need it.

The only thing that is hard about this game is to control the board, which is the concept of it.

Nothing. Which is what is showing that companies could be punished for not following the laws.

I think I’m alone with that on here but I don’t really like buying physical media.

I suppose it depend on what you buy. Some things are worth to have the physical copy, some not.

A rent economy is toxic and rotten,

Not always. I would gladly pay to rent something I need only every now and then instead to buy it.

There aren’t laws saying the company had to tell the truth, so if they lie, what’s the punishment?

Try to sign a contract (as company) lying about your obligations as see how it work.

What is missing is the will to punish them.

But we haven’t meaningfully held an executive to account for a corporation’s actions for a long time.

That's exactly the problem but it not the same than saying "Corporations aren’t people and don’t have morals".

Corporations aren’t people and don’t have morals to stop them from breaking promises or just flat out lying

I think this is pure bullshit. In the end corporation are guided by people, who make decision and have a clear chain of command. When a corporation promise something, there are people behind that signed off the promise.

And you can punish a corporation by simply punishing the people who sign off what the corporatoion does, at any level. I mean, it is good to be the CEO and get the big bucks, fine, but if the corporation you are CEO of does something wrong it is your responsability to fix it and take the punishment for it.

I would not be so sure about that.

There’s no new jobs for horses after the combustion engine was invented to do physical labor - why would there be more “intelligence jobs” for humans when intelligence is automated?

Because humans are "general purpose" and horses are "specialized" for example. What other job can a horse do ?

Unfortunately sometimes you have to interoperate with them, at this point it is better to do it on "our" terms than their.

There’s weird stuff I can’t find anywhere else or they’re on sites that I don’t trust my payment info with.

This have a simple solution: generate a virtual credit card with just the amount you need for the transaction.

You are right. It is much worse, but hey, who am I to say to you how to protect your data ?

A code via E-Mail is enough for me.

Which basically is another type of 2FA...

repeatedly demonstrate that they are car companies and not tech companies because they keep making rookie errors when it comes to security.

Not that "real" tech companies have a better record when speaking about IT security, tbh...

Like back at the time they had Usenet groups, rotten.com and a long list of other sites to post fake porn and other discutible content.

Not that I am saying that is something right, just that is nothing new.

My uneducated guess is that previously this stuff would be in some niche forum in the recesses of the internet

Not really. Back at the time there were public usenet groups specifically dedicated to the [hot actress of the day] fake porn.

Sounds like you like Codeberg, though. Just out of curiosity, what sold you on Codeberg?

Basically the fact that they are in Europe and for now they are free (even if I am planning to contribute some euros) and without all the "every site need to be a social network" facade (like Github).
All the features I need are present and I were not using the missing one anyway (like the CI). And I like to support an EU company ;-)

Additionally it is a couple of years that I am trying to move away from US companies for every service I use, the move from Gitlab to Codeberg is the last one and came natural.

Make the move from Gitlab to Codeberg in the last few days: really simple to do, give it a try ;-)
