Your location matters. Some US states, for example, have laws that require the company to provide you with a salary range if you ask for one. Some EU locations have similar requirements. Google pay transparency laws in your location to see if the company has to tell you or not. But as others have said, it’s generally best to have the company make the first move.
But the treatment of photographs in the decision fits your description. The photographer sets up the environment that allowed the image to exist but it’s the camera that makes the image. The judge held that was protectable because the image represents the human’s mental conception of the scene. It’s not a ridiculous stretch to consider AI to be merely a camera for the prompt-writer’s mental conception. I am certain this argument has been or will be tried in court. The IP owner industry is far from done litigating this topic.
This comment sums up almost every 80s show I loved as a kid. There has to be at least one cool vehicle, but the more the merrier. Knight Rider, A-Team, Magnum PI, Dukes of Hazzard, Fall Guy, Hardcastle & McCormick, Simon & Simon, BJ & the Bear, Stingray, the list goes on and on.
Thanks for posting this. The TLDR is that using the checklist no current AI is conscious but that there are no great barriers to one doing so in the future. Also, the article itself does not list the indicators but does link to the the academic paper which does.
An interesting point from the article is that these are indicators of human consciousness, since that’s all we really know for certain. Current AI models could be as conscious as many ‘lower order’ living things because we just don’t know how they experience the world. Given that there are ‘cruelty to animals’ laws on the books all over the world, I wonder how far down the checklist you have to go before ‘cruelty to AI’ becomes a thing.
When I first scrolled past I thought someone was jumping on the bed. I’m like, WTF gam-gam doing?
I know this is not possible for many and also not a long term solution, but are you able to pay someone to do some light cleaning regularly for you? Not talking about deep cleaning but maybe like dusting and vacuuming and mopping? Having that structure might help - you know the cleaners will be there at 11 am every second Wednesday, so the task becomes doing some tidying before they come instead of this insurmountable shame mountain of cleaning your house top to bottom. As for your callous (in this instance) MIL, you can rest assured that she doesn’t know what you’re going through. It’s up to you as to whether you believe she would have made that comment if she did know, and that should be the guidepost on how you go forward with her.
So does this mean that Elon thinks Starlink is responsible for whatever its internet access is used for? If Starlink can manipulate their service to inhibit war time activities, why wouldn’t they be responsible for not shutting off access to people or groups facilitating crimes, such as distributing CSAM or drugs? Seems like Elon is admitting that Starlink does have the capability.
Sadly, this may mean the days of homebrew programming for the 2600 are at an end. AtariAge is where all those programmers sold their wares, along with homebrews for other platforms like Intellivision and ColecoVision. I’ll have to head back over there for the first time in a while to see what they say about it.
