What are the best title of chapters/sections in a novel? My immediate thought is A Canticle for Leibowitz, which has three sections and they are titled Fiat Homo Fiat Lux Fiat Voluntas Tua

My view: Criminal liability for negligent causing of AI agent hacking seems like a really terrible idea, for all the traditional reasons we don’t impose criminal liability for negligence. There’s a reason criminal law and tort law are different subjects.
So, getting into the criminal question, is there a concern that criminal negligence doesn't apply to the existing hacking laws? Is that true and if so, are there concrete proposals to fill that hole? (Thanks to questions in my thread for raising this.)

This is the sound of the gears in my mind turning, 24/7. Some of the most compulsive, ghostly, haunting improvisational music you'll ever hear: youtube.com/watch?v=M0Q62n_p…

He's bored, angry, and feels increasingly trapped. Just acting out now for attention. He's a simple man at heart:

LOL he's suddenly so desperate to be on the air again that he's trying to force NBC to carry him on TV by inserting a speech into a sporting event.

For whatever reason, I decided to make this playlist a day BEFORE everybody here started talking about R.E.M.'s "cultural footprint." All the evidence you'll ever need, right here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…

I never get tired of people using Y2K as an example of a failed prophecy of doom because Y2K was 100% real and was avoided due to engineers fixing all the code

Everything I have seen about DIGGER makes it look like obnoxious cacophonous trash. The most predictable mess of the year.

I take no pleasure in what's about to happen to the GOP up and down the ticket. But ngl, I take a fair amount of pleasure at seeing Trump kick and flail helplessly like this.

We here at MagillsHQ promise to never get involved in any type of crypto scheme and that’s mainly because I don’t know how any of that works and frankly whether money is real or not anymore

Elliott Gould had three amazing roles in the early '70s, and then . . . pretty much bupkus. What happened?
