Who else is better equipped? In my view it would solely depend on the lawyers that internet archive hires, and money plays a big factor in that.

Also, internet archive is going through the route process of how legislation gets overturned or upheld. Just because you perceive them as unworthy to bear the challenge doesn’t make that true, and as a result your commitment to not support them because they aren’t the one true chosen is ill-informed.

Hardware limitations. A model that big would require millions of video cards, thousands of terabytes of storage, and hundreds of terabytes of ram.

This is also where AI ethics plays into whether such a model should exist in the first place. People are really scared of AI but they don’t know that ethics standards are being enforced at the top level.

Edit: get Elon Musk on the phone, he’s deranged enough to spend that much money on something like this while ignoring the ethical and moral implications /s

The leotard in question is worn by the model on the far right who, even though she is cut off, visibly has her hands covering her groin area. Perhaps a re-design is in order?

In other words (and more neutrally), there have not been any randomized controlled trials of parachute intervention, so we do not have data to say whether they would work or not.

Solemnizing a marriage = officiating
People can already refuse to officiate weddings, this bill is symbolic posturing

You look like Wayne Brady to me.

I think you’re obsessing over your nose when that’s not the problem, and I worry that you’ll get a rhinoplasty and find that nothing has changed. I recommend seeing a psychologist or therapist, which carries low risk, before committing to surgery, which carries high risk (especially if you travel to a foreign country).

Edit: having read your responses, I’m going to guess you came to the internet for validation in your decision to reduce your nose, and I’m not surprised that the internet thinks it’s a bad idea. In my opinion you would be better served putting the money you saved towards starting your own laptop repair business. You could get away from your shitty boss, and filter the people you interact with on a daily basis.

My problem with Singer’s approach is that it is intent agnostic; it paints with broad strokes and claims that causing bad things, whether intended or not, is evil. It also claims that failing to stop bad things from happening is evil.

Me putting on a clean shirt after a workout, even though it will increase my laundry water usage, is not done maliciously. So I don’t think that is evil, even though drought exists somewhere in the world.

And if a child could stop a robber by turning a key in a door, but is too scared to do so, that doesn’t make them evil.

On the other hand, if I chose to drive a car that can roll coal specifically so that I could cause ill effects (such as upsetting or doing harm to people or the environment), that would be malicious and therefore evil.
