Forget about Skynet, what if an AI causes embarrassment? And/or collects data not nominally available, which might be distributed further than most submitters might imagine...

On the other hand, perhaps there are still humans in the loop... Particularity the legal department....

Cerne Abbas chalk hill giant censored for comic



A spokesperson for the comic said: "It seems a sad indictment of the times when a legendary landmark like the Cerne Giant - which any man, woman or child can visit any day of the week - must be covered up in a comic book."

"Through pressure, our hand has been forced. Outlets, particularly in the US, refuse any form of nudity in comic books," the spokesperson added.

Scientists: Earth Endangered by New Strain of Fact-Resistant Humans

MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Scientists have discovered a powerful new strain of fact-resistant humans who are threatening the ability of Earth to sustain life, a sobering new study reports.

it's a joke by a writer who's also a comedian but it does make me think if it's a read write error in that it gets written to the wrong area of memory so they think that it's fact. and if the memory stick they effectively have for facts is write only could switching the two make a difference.

I think that if you have a guest in your house for 72 hours (in your jurisdiction), they can stay and you would have to evict them. Under 72 hours and you can have the police eject them directly.

At some point they would have to leave to buy food, or drugs, or something. So why not just refuse to let them back in? Or turn off the electricity and water. Or both. Shirley there must be numerous simple non-violent ways to get them out of there.
