Wouldn't that create a bad incentive to not report crime then? Seems like the right response is to have the police/CPS act properly than to try and hold Karen's accountable.
It would definitely disincentivize false reporting, and make people think twice if they are not sure. Which would be good incentives. We have far too many people calling the police casually for non-emergency reasons and as a bad faith way to bring violence to someone they don't like, like SWATing. Every month another E-911 dispatch center complains they're overloaded. There's a subset of Americans who simply can't mind their own business and feel they have to go out and bully people, and the lack of accountability and consequences just encourages them.
Yes, there may be a handful of real crimes that go unreported, but I'm kind of neutral on that. It's not the public's job to tattle on each other by triggering a potentially deadly police response. Having strong accountability for the reporter would mean only the most serious, obvious, violent crimes get reported.
Had the recipient bought cryptocurrencies with the proceeds, I wonder how much harder that would be to claw back. Could they still come out on top if they sell the house they bought for a profit?
What a dramatic response to what amounted to a slap on the wrist for his flagrant disregard for the law. The man is smart enough to make millions breaking the law, he will be just fine after serving some time.
I think that proving sentience is much harder than simply demonstrating something imitating it. Giving the AI additional freedoms would be way more telling.
How would it behave if it could send messages without being prompted? Does it message you when its lonely? If it truly has feelings and is responding to them then it should be acting upon its desires and modifying its behavior to achieve what it wants .
