If you liked Stross's general style, I would also recomend the Merchant Princes (universe hopping smugglers/spies/couriers) and the Laundry Files (co.puter scientists and mathematicians as civil servants fighting against the occult)
A lot of ai research isn't published in journals but either posted to a corporate website or put up on the arxiv. There are some ai journals, but the ai community doesn't particularly value those journals (and threw a bit of a fit when they came out). This article is mostly marketing and doesn't show anything that should surprise anyone familiar with how neural networks work generically in my opinion.
I mean, Utah outlawed all public worker unions, including police unions.
Everyone likes to think that AI is objective, but it is not. It is biased by its training which includes a lot of human bias.
There is, but you just get everything back as a refund. They still take taxes out of your paycheck.
All government services will start going to shit. You will not notice immediate effects of this, but roads will be worse, food and drugs will become unsafe as the already inadequate monitoring becomes no monitoring, etc. It just won't all happen overnight and everything will slowly get more dangerous and shinier as all government oversight is destroyed.
Even more indirectly, data products that companies use for deciding investments will become increasingly unreliable. This will increase uncertainty and risk in any corporate investment and lead to decreased corporate spending and an eventual economic contraction.
More immediately, a large number of the people fired this week and last week work in rural areas and the sudden loss of so many jobs in those areas will lead to significant local recessions as the federal money being added to the economy through paychecks disappears overnight.
But those regulations are largely controlled by local governments, not the federal government. Federal regulations can prevent building new housing in certain areas and conditions (like destroying habitat of an endangered species), but that is much rarer than a city council not approving projects or zoning changes because they want to keep property values high.
I mean, Chevron wants to be a corporate state unto itself, so this makes sense.
Given the way conservatives have already used the judiciary to do this to an extent at state levels, yes. They used the Judiciary to strip Democrat governors of power in Wisconsin and North Carolina while using the judiciary to grant Republican governors those removed powers and more. The current federal judiciary would not grant a Democrat president dictatorial powers, but would grant them to a Republican preaident.
This sentiment ignores that there is more to the government than the president and that the president is not (currently) a dictator.
(The conservatives in the judiciary seem primed to make the presidency a dictatorship, but won't do it while a Democrat is on office)
I mean, they supposedly used an algorithm that payed the voice actors for contributions to the training set and gives them royalties when it is used.
I mean, the Casimir effect was initially derived as the result of two infinite values having a finite difference.
According to the dossier, he might like that.
They had just forgotten about the Pauli effect. No wonder their experiment went wrong.
If my net worth is negative, does my debt increase or decrease?
The fact they spin and the bits interact gravitationally makes them symmetric. There are almost certainly some asymmetric galaxies as we know galaxies collide and they will be asymmetric for a bit afterwards, but the spinning and fiction of gravity will make them symmetric again fairly quickly on galactic time scales.
From my time playing it, the looting wasn't satisfying nor was the combat. In looting, the drop rate of things good or useful for your class seemed too low. For combat, it kinda felt like there were wild swings in difficulty that made level progress kinda disappointing. Some of this may have been fixed more recently; I have not played in at least two months.
