Yes, but the real question is: Who is to blame, who is thrown in jail, who get a fine?

Is Elon Musk to blame for the update? Is the bank to blame for allowing these online transactions.

The question is: is the person who instructed the AI to blame because the AI doesn't actually understand the implications of what it is doing, or is the actual AI to blame yet what happens to those who instructed the AI, or what if the AI is "glitching"?

>Curiosity, the desire to obtain knowledge, is one of the defining traits of human beings. Yet there are situations when people willingly choose not to know. This phenomenon — deliberate ignorance — has been attracting a growing interest from researchers in various scientific disciplines.

This is not about how to solve a puzzle, or why bumblebees can fly, or how the Moon was formed....!!

This is like finding out that your best neighbor is Jewish and for some stated absurd and obscure reason you have to deal with it.

I can imagine that some folks were forced/suckered into the Stasi-situation and are deeply sorry. That doesn't make it an excuse yet finding out about them forces an opinion, and an emotion, a separation, and all that stuff we actually don't like about that world war - what we don't like about any war.

The moons are just there, there's no precalculated purpose. It's left-over rubble that didn't make it to form a planet. Or it was a planet but now destroyed. Or it was part of another solar system, but no longer there.

There are many aspects that makes a planet livable. Jupiter's atmosphere is not one of them. Most is gaseous.

Our moon was formed by the rubble of a collision with another planet. This collision itself made things surface from the planetary core that would not be there without that collision, like Iron. It is likely that it also caused the tilt creating seasonal variation, while the Moon itself is causing a slightly more frequent variation in the form of tides and perhaps affecting tectonic plates. All these variations and stirring of material may be the cause of live.

With a bit of critical thinking most manipulative narratives can be seen from 'miles away'. Yet we've seen with COVID deniers, Q-anon manipulations, and certain ex-president sprouting nonsense each and every day that a large group just follow the narrative.

So what's a false narrative: Avoidable harm caused by that narrative. A narrative that's causing fear, uncertainty and doubt. A narrative that attacks a person to win an argument but doesn't provide a solution...

ChatGPT is already able to convince people on having the right information. It is trained to find statistical correlations in language, not truths. For now it gets information from non-AI inspired sources, but who actually knows what these sources are. The more often certain information gets repeated, the more likely it is to end up as a source of training data. When more and more articles in the near future get written by an AI (not necessarily the same) the validity of the constructed narrative will start to spiral downwards at an alarming rate as the "source" simply gets reinforced by its own wackyness.

>He also analyzed the DNA sequence known as PAM, which allows microbes to distinguish between their own genomes and the genomes of viruses. Without PAMs, a bacterium could easily kill itself. But the new study – of which Mojica is a co-author – indicates that some of the oldest CAS enzymes are capable of cutting DNA accurately without the need for PAM.

The old-one probably was fast in recombination/evolution in the early days....until PAM came along and was utilized as a fail-safe mechanism against eating the good part of itself and thus survived and multiplied.

Good that we are evolved enough to work around billion years old fail-safe mechanisms. Now I just ponder about DNA that can be transcribed more efficiently when you get rid of all the unnecessary redundancy. Maybe replace it with a QR-code only to buy your daily protein infusion.
