There is no right to privacy in public spaces so ,just like so many other things EFF handwrings about, this argument is a complete nonstarter.

It’s evidence tampering. The reason why it’s illegal is to give law enforcement something to charge someone with regardless of how much evidence they destroy. Perjury is illegal for similar reasons.

From a CS perspective, languages like Rust and Ada are much easier to learn than the stereotypical easy languages (i.e Python). You just have to think about what programming languages are, rather than “how to write program to do X” which is the typical approach.

Don’t compilers have some guarantee of behaviours? I.e even if you don’t know exactly what instructions and order the compiler generates there is a guarantee that it is computationally/mathematically equivalent to the statements you wrote. Otherwise it would be a pretty terrible compiler. That’s a pretty big jump to writing instructions you don’t understand, since LLMs can’t make the same guarantees about a prompt/request.

Probably the desktop tower. I’ve seen many people call it a hard drive, but I’m actually not sure how common it is to have speakers in the tower.
