Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you’d like to highlight?
There’s a movie where the president (actually a decoy) fakes a stroke during a speech to Congress.

Funny “Haha” or funny “Uh Oh”?

Hard to think of anything more useless than a bitcoin “mine”.
But Great Barrington Police Chief Paul Storti said in a statement, “Because this complaint was made directly to the police department, we are obligated and have a duty to examine the complaint further."
I call bullshit, and would like to see the law and/or court rulings that support this assertion.
Because if cops have no duty to protect the public, then in what sense do they have a duty to take this complaint seriously?
The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.
If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.
