  • It does not, it states that a person can’t lie on an a form to purchase a weapon by stating they are purchasing the weapon for themselves when they are not. This doesn’t criminalize all straw purchases, it simply agrees with the fact that lying on these forms is a crime. If a person answers truthfully, recieveds a weapon, and resells it, no crime is commuted by that individual.

    His crime was the false statement not the straw purchase. Here’s the holding:

    A person who buys a gun on someone else’s behalf while falsely claiming that it is for himself makes a material misrepresentation that violates federal law because it concerns “information required by [Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code] to be kept” in the dealer’s records.

    I’ll admit, I don’t know if you legally need to answer that specific question in all states or any for that matter so you may be right. I’m only really taking issue with the idea that straw purchases are a crime in and of themselves. They are not









  • Honestly I think this situation is a warning shot. Right now, LLMs are probably not being used in mission critical ways. But within 20 years, 99% of the workforce in the military, the government, and the private sector will be AIs. This includes the soldiers (by which I mean the robot armies), the superhumanly intelligent advisors and engineers, the police, you name it

    Nope. AI people are so weird we aren’t going to have fully automated AI armies in 20 years. This stuff is always only a century or two away. Flying cars?
