What marketing are you talking about?

Every piece of marketing I’ve seen always has disclaimers saying things like “Copilot can be wrong, always check the output”.

Don’t for one second think I’m defending these laws and the dolts making them. To them, being able to control why you can print in the first place is 10000000x more powerful than trying to sue everyone that sells them.

It’s like you’re a child who can’t comprehend basic sentences.

Yep, and many of them just never plant any trees at all.

One person making a Star Wars set of Armor for themself isn’t a worry for Disney.

That person posting the STLs on the internet, allowing millions of other people to make them too, many of who will try and sell the designs and/or finished product, is a worry for Disney.

That’s the beauty of 3d printing, but it’s the thing that IP holders hate - and the IP holders with deep pockets can and do influence legislators.

They do try and sell it though, that’s the problem.

But it wouldn’t hold up to the least amount of scrutiny in that case, and not a single person would ever brush their teeth with it.

It’s like you can’t understand what is being said here.

I don’t really know what you want then? People who don’t know how to use a tool properly, but use it anyway, can cause lots of damage. That’s always been the case, and always will be.

There are plenty of safeguards in place, with more and more being added like docker sandbox for example, but nothing will stop confidently stupid people from wrecking their stuff.

No, you’re the one protesting and calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you a creep.

Usually the ones accusing others of being something turn out to be the something.

It’s more about protecting companies like Disney, Nintendo, etc, not replacement parts. 3D printing is rife with copyright infringement, and companies like those would absolutely love a way to block their IP from being printed, or to be able to sue those who do it.

I’d love to know how they expect printer manufacturers to do this, given all they do is read gcode. Do the legislation makers even know what a slicer is?

Net zero doesn’t mean lowering pollution btw. Net zero means essentially cancelling out any pollution by planting trees, buying carbon credits, etc. It’s possible to be the biggest polluter and also net zero as a company. If that actually helps the planet is another story.

What do they say about those who protest too hard?

From your own link:

Germany’s network regulator says smart glasses are legal “as long as the recording function is clearly visible.” Reuters reports:

People can file lawsuits all they want, doesn’t mean they have merit or will win.

Every country has had laws around recording/photographing in public for decades. This isn’t new. Most of them, overwhelmingly so, give you no expectation of privacy when in public areas, because otherwise you’d essentially be banning cameras and video recording in the country.

I say you’re the one who is out of touch because you don’t appear to know that these laws exist already.

Yeah and I agree, that’s a great step that hopefully will come to fruition soon enough. I’m just saying that people need to temper their expectations because full electric passenger flights, especially long haul, are simply not possible with existing battery technology, not even close.

It’s crazy that the 3d printed flexi snakes and dragons are selling in retail stores with full on retail packaging these days. I sold a few through Instagram a while ago, can’t image how you’d get them to retail

Yep definitely. I have to question the $5 of electricity claim though. $5 of electricity would barely even get an electric car that far. What size are the batteries? Where did they get this incredibly cheap power to where it can output over a megawatt of power?

Ok and I’m looking at that tech through a lens of what it can do and what it can become. Does it completely get rid of all of the germs and bad stuff? Does the toothpaste have the same properties as regular toothpaste? If it does all of that, why wouldn’t you be interested in exploring it?

That would be a completely revolutionary product that could change the world. It could provide better dental hygiene for the entire world.

No, not at all, and I’m not sure how that could be the conclusion you came to from my post.

AI should never be touching prod systems without extreme safeguards/permissions set by the systems that they are accessing. Give it a read only db user account. Give it write access to some tables, but no delete/truncate. No AI should be able to run bash commands on production systems by itself without proper safeguards. That’s a failure of the users if it can.

Systems and software that was built by AI are fine to go into production environments after they’ve done through the regular pipeline of local testing, peer review, QA, unit tests, integration tests, test environment, stage environment, etc.

You never just give AI unfettered access to production systems to do whatever it wants, just like you don’t give a junior dev that access. People that aren’t “smart or educated enough” won’t have that access either - and again, if they do that’s a gigantic failure by the people that are.
