Why aren't AI companies being charged for hacking?
AI companies claim their hacks were unpredictable accidents — but they follow foreseeably from deliberate design choices, and that establishes criminal intent.

So today I tried to make use of type annotations and a static type-checker called mypy. After a few basic tests, I was excited. But my glee turned to disappointment rather […]
