The difference is basically a negligent driver running your mother over at 50km/h vs an intentional driver doing it at 60km/h.

It's weird seeing people who clearly don't follow you/your writing thinking they're coming for the heart of the NYT opinion desk or something. Keep fighting the good fight, don't let the dickheads fighting the weirdest battles get you down.

Ironically some of the biggest public beefs we've had outside of parliament about this were Morrison and AGL et al trying to shut coal plants costing them money

More and more evidence showing that the hallucination problem of LLMs (particularly the idea of trying to put together something that is coherent that is most likely to satisfy the user as "likely") is why any idea of a general intelligence seems unlikely to come from that tech, hey?

It's easy to beat up crime stats — take the tabloids headline a few weeks ago that "Melbourne is now the car theft capital of Australia"... we have 8 states/territories, 1/8 is going to hold that title at any time.
It takes political bravery to y'know, not be scared of a paper tiger opposition

We acknowledge kids aren't fully responsible yet, it's why we don't accord them adult rights until they pass a threshold. Redrawing the line because crime looks bad atm (it's not, historically, comparative reporting only starts in 2004, most crimes are around decade average) is reflexive cowardice.
