The regulatory hurdles here are quite small, actually. If COPPA were worded better, Imgur would've been in violation of that, too, from what I can tell of the complaint.
Not really. It's more like Cloudflare is providing an ipset in your iptables config. It's not Cloudflare's decision: they're just making it easier for you to do it.
It starts to veer into sci-fi and I don't personally believe this is practically possible on any relevant timescale, but:
The idea is a sufficiently advanced AI could simulate.. everything. You don't need to interact with the physical world if you have a perfect model of it.
> But, what other fields would it do this in? How can it makes strives in biology, it can't dissect animals ...
It doesn't need to dissect an animal if it has a perfect model of it that it can simulate. All potential genetic variations, all interactions between biological/chemical processes inside it, etc.
Didn't we prove that it is mathematically impossible to have a perfect simulation of everything though (i.e. chaos theory)? These AIs would actually have to conduct experiments in the real world to find out what is true. If anything this sounds like the modern (or futuristic version) of empiricism versus rationalism debate.
>It doesn't need to dissect an animal if it has a perfect model of it that it can simulate. All potential genetic variations, all interactions between biological/chemical processes inside it, etc.
Emphasis on perfection, easier said than done. Some how this model was able to simulate millions of years of evolution so it could predict vestigial organs of unidentified species? We inherently cannot model how a pendulum with three arms can swing but somehow this AI figured out how to simulate evolution millions of years ago with unidentified species in the Amazon and can tell you all of its organs before anyone can check with 100% certainty?
I feel like these AI doomers/optimists are going to be in a shock when they find out that (unfortunately) John Locke was right about empiricism, and that there is a reason we use experiments and evidence to figure out new information. Simulations are ultimately not enough for every single field.
It’s plausible in a sci-fi sort of way, but where does the model come from? After a hundred years of focused study we’re kinda beginning to understand what’s going on inside a fruit fly, how are we going to provide the machine with “a perfect model of all interactions between biological/chemical processes”?
If you had that perfect model, you’ve basically solved an entire field of science. There wouldn’t be a lot more to learn by plugging it into a computer afterwards.
Well, first, it would be so far beyond anything we can comprehend as intelligence that even asking that question is considered silly. An ant isn't asking us how we measure the acidity of the atmosphere. It would simply do it via some mechanism we can't implement or understand ourselves.
But, again with the caveats above: if we assume an AI that is infinitely more intelligent than us and capable of recursive self-improvement to where it's compute was made more powerful by factorial orders of magnitude, it could simply brute force (with a bit of derivation) everything it would need from the data currently available.
It could iteratively create trillions (or more) of simulations until it finds a model that matches all known observations.
> Well, first, it would be so far beyond anything we can comprehend as intelligence that even asking that question is considered silly.
This does not answer the question. The question is "how does it become this intelligent without being able to interact with the physical world in many varied and complex ways?". The answer cannot be "first, it is superintelligent". How does it reach superintelligence? How does recursive self-improvement yield superintelligence without the ability to richly interact with reality?

This assumes that the digital encoding of all recorded observations is enough information for a system to create a perfect simulation of reality. I am quite certain that claim is not made on solid ground, it is highly speculative. I think it is extremely unlikely, given the very small number of things we've recorded relative to the space of possibilities, and the very many things we don't know because we don't have enough data.
>The idea is a sufficiently advanced AI could simulate.. everything
This is a demonstrably false assumption. Foundational results in chaos theory show that many processes require exponentially more compute to simulate for a linearly longer time period. For such processes, even if every atom in the observable universe was turned into a computer, they could only be simulated for a few seconds or minutes more, due to the nature of exponential growth. This is an incontrovertible mathematical law of the universe, the same way that it's fundamentally impossible to sort an arbitrary array in O(1) time.
The counter-argument to this from the AI crowd would be that it's fundamentally impossible for _us_, with our goopy brains, to understand how to do it. Something that is factorial-orders-of-magnitude smarter and faster than us could figure it out.
You have to justify the use of storing (or publishing, don't remember) content that includes PII. You must register the use of cameras and specify how long and why you store those recordings. Which usually states: For security purposes. You must include (at least my country) a sticker that says particular area under surveillance.
When there is collective photographing at school for children, we as parents must consent with a signature... which is a little bit annoying.
Only if the camera is angled in such a way that it only sees your property. A door bell camera that can also see the public road in front your house for example is technically not allowed, even if most people ignore that rule.
That isn't true. Dedicated bodybuilders, starting more commonly ~5 years ago, decided that PCT wasn't worth it. Instead of typical 16-20 week cycles followed by 4-6 weeks of PCT, they adjust the dose between supraphysiological and (generally) top-of-normal, i.e.: blast and cruise.
It's not because they couldn't recover, it's because they don't want to or see the point.
Post-cycle therapy will take longer if you're taking exogenous testosterone for longer, but it's definitely not a 'for life'/'impossible' thing if you've been on TRT for a few years and decide to stop. It's just fearmongering.
