I’ve watched some mildly amusing Yeti campfire tutorials that were AI generated.

I didn’t claim Tesla has solved this automation problem.

Waymo is closer to human levels, but not yet considerably better.

Task automation

That’s theft rather than policy.

But it certainly does damage the argument that items are safer in the museum.

It’s pretty obvious where the white genocide “bug” came from.

I broadly agree. For example, the elgin marbles should be returned (after multiple copies have been made). The British Museum will never truly “own” their artifacts. The Rosetta Stone will never be British.

But remember, I was answering about stealing from the giftshop. You would never own or be able to sell anything stolen from it.

I still get to control who gets in (visa)

You don’t control country visas. Neither does the British Museum.

i see the problem, you’re assuming I’m the British museum in the metaphor, but I’m more like the UK in the metaphor.

Ah OK. Then I’m confused what the “UK giftshop” represents, and also what are you stealing from it.

Why is a foreign entity, gets to decide what to do with stolen artifacts?

A good, but different question. We are straying from the question of being morally able to steal from the British Museum giftshop.

could I rob a bank, and when they catch me I can blame the bank for low security,.and not have to return anything because I will allow some people to come to my house and show them some bank stationary I also stole?

The standard response is that you are a white hat bank robber, and you will return the bank assets once they beef up security. But the Greek bank has done this and still doesn’t have it’s assets back.

Elon could have benefited from having the right people around him.

He’s had too many Right people around him.

MAWA?

You don’t have to pay for people’s transport if they come to see your giftshop loot, but you do have to show it them for free.

No. Selling on eBay is not allowed. In fact, once you have started your collection you are expected to pay for all future additions to your collection (although you may get donations).

Your shoplifting metaphor ignored the curation, storage and display responsibilities. It also assumed resale which, in the British Museum’s case, hasn’t occurred.

If you are comparing stealing from the giftshop to the museum’s procurement process then you have to display your loot in an equal (free) manner to all members of the public, and refuse sell any items.

Yes, that parallel is much stronger.

History rhymes rather than repeats.

I think the parallels of a country being unjustly attacked by another, possibly leading to a world war, are worth considering.

I assume you are being facetious, but for anyone who is part of today’s 10,000

Will you display for free all your stolen giftshop loot for everyone to see, and promise never to damage it, sell it or dispose of it in any way.

I doubt he can still hurdle chairs.

Sounds like you are agreeing with me, not arguing against me.

USA had more manufacturing capacity

[Iran have] never shown any interest in conventional warfare

So these cancel out.

You couldn’t pick an enemy in the world more willing and able to put up a fight against Israel

So they have already shown willingness to fight one enemy. But after this attack.

and America.

Now they have been provoked into a war with the US.

Alternative Right. Yup. That works.

Alternative energy sources. Hmm. Maybe not everything.

In January 1941 2025 it really didn’t look like USA Iran had the stomach for a fight.

LLM tend to literally describe what the code is doing, not why.
