Isn't this a dinner & donation issue? That's how American government works now.

You only get takedown notices for negative content. It's the new and improved Free Speech Censorship®

A flash preloader was my first real tech job! As I recall, they stiffed my last paycheck and went under later.

But it was incredibly fun and I made connections that steered my career to a new direction for the next decade.

I don't necessarily oppose the use of AI as a tool for humans to utilize, but I do have issues with it dictating policies or control over human beings. By the people, for the people, absolutely does not include AI. (Sorry Data, not yet)

Also, any prompts and prompt instructions should be public with results. It is just way too easy to fuck up.

I found one of these fakes on the shelves at CVS!

I'm pretty proud I got something banned after a letter.

I kinda teared up on that article. What hope they had.

For all wondering, this was written in 2007, speculating on the future. It flat out starts by saying they know they'll be wrong by making these guesses.

They thought we'd have a lunar colony by 2022. Instead we gave ourselves two shots to the feet and looking at the shiny down the barrel.

If not user data and network security concerns, what? Why the ban/sale song and dance?

Wasn't the whole thing about China scooping up loads of data?

So give a copy of that data to one of the worlds largest advertiser/online markets and license behavioural data from the "baddies". Yeah, that'll fix everything.

Everybody loses.

I tried to update my lemmy instance and it all went so horribly wrong. DB never came up, errors everywhere, searching implied I updated to a dev branch sometime in the past (not a dev, don't think I did) and it'll be console and DB queries for a fix.

Ran out of time and overwhelmed, I restored backups and buried my head in the sand. Nope, not now. Future, yes, but oh not now.

Just pointing out clickbait. They don't even accurately reference their own articles. I stopped reading after that.

These devices are almost always listening, and the companies behind them are already collecting our data.

Uh oh! Clicks scary link

The good news is, they aren’t recording all the time ... and when they are activated accidentally, the recordings are typically short.

:/ alrightythen

Fair use is based on a four-factor analysis that considers the purpose of the use, the nature of the copyrighted work, the amount used, and the effect on the market for the original work.

It is ambiguous, and limited, tested on a case-by-case basis which makes this time in Copyright so interesting.
