The technology isn't inherently evil. The actual problem is the way our societies are set up, ironically incentivizing sociopathic behaviour even among members of a single nation, nevermind when geopolitics get involved.

I essentially see it like this: imagine giving a hand grenade to a three year old. The grenade isn't inherently evil, but it raises the existential stakes for that three year old and anyone in their vicinity.

There comes some hypothetical point where technology has advanced so much that anyone has the power to destroy the world.

So seeding will be legally enforced? Nice.

No you must prove that you have at a minimum 100 hundred billion stock valuation! :-D

If I tell you to kill yourself and you go through with it, will I get into legal trouble or not?

There are definitely jurisdictions in the US (perhaps most or all of them) that have laws which say yes, inciting suicide is a crime.

If I then get hit by a rude AI scraper, what chances would I have to sue the hell out of them in EU courts for copyright violation (uhh, my articles cost 100k a pop for AI training, actually) and the de facto DDoS attack?

If the scraper is based (Or has meaningful assets) in the EU, then your chances are good. If they do not, then the lawsuit would be meaningless.

>it doesn't even have to be free software AFAIK, just the source has to be visible to everyone

With the implication that MS is free to harvest it for LLM training?

Lunar Lake had integrated RAM, right? Given certain market realities right now, it could be a real boon for them if they keep that design.

What if your PC dies?

hrm, the only PCs I've had died was from a cursed case.

I did have a laptop die because I let it get a little wet.

But when you look at the history of memory, etc, it's certainly going to come back down once the bubble subsides.

How do you paste the selected text if you want to replace a text selection in the other window?
