> but they also quietly replaced the Russian malware with their own [US gov't snoopware], for national security.
I assume you are joking, otherwise we at Slashdot expect clear evidence of such claims.
1. Its the USA. Did you learn nothing from Snowden?
2. They did it secretly.
3. Because of course they would.
Whether this is warranted or not, it will fuel gov't skeptics and conspiracists.
It may also generate invasion-of-privacy lawsuits. Is there a better way to go about it?
yeah but they also quietly replaced the Russian malware with their own, for national security.
>It's not just that TNG had a big miss with the contractions thing
I thought that was an artificial limitation to keep Data a little bit different? Same designer built Lore, who didn't have a problem with contractions.
I was thinking more Stargate SG1...
They had a whole load of aliens that found contractions difficult
Its use of contractions is just creepy, not even aliens can use contractions properly...
Shines brightly in the EU. UK is going in the opposite direction. American politicians' comprehension has scarcely gone beyond "the internet is a bunch of tubes".
LOL. All those companies are US-based, the EUcrates wouldn't be able to force anyone to put any backdoors in anything anyway. So, since they're not gonna reach those grapes anyway, they're sure gonna virtue signal about how we're not trying.
And the USA having forced back doors into everything complain about China doing the exact same!
Its even worse in Australia but as always, "you can get around it with eyes closed".
In the UK, forgetting your password when the cops want your data is a good way to spend the rest of your life in prison.
The only reason "Also" wonâ(TM)t work as a missing keyword is because the US is already well ahead of the rivals on this front.
The thing is, Western media is muzzled so they can't mention the US and allies offensive cyber operations, its as if they don't exist.
You literally never see an APT thats attributed as a US state sponsored group.
Sure... they don't exist... right.
There is nothing unexpected about this; it's completely obvious that generative AI would be used to supplement troll farms, malware and disinformation spreading, and general disruption of the US and allies. Anybody who didn't see this coming was simply not paying attention.
Only surprise here is that Iran and North Korea were top on the list. Would have expected Russia to be the number one in disruption. But maybe this is just because the Russian use of AI tools was better camouflaged because their hackers are professional.
But the USA isn't using them at all!! In fact, the USA doesn't have any offensive cyber operations, they're the *good* guys! LOL Who ever would believe that shit?
This would cause problems for text-to-speech used by the blind... a machine reading her work and then plagiarising it, reading it out loud to someone? THEIVES!
I remember this being a big area of interest about 15 years ago, but there doesn't seem to have been much about it lately. So long as it's done in real time and just for the reader, and not an audience, I would be inclined to say that it's not infringing the reproduction right, derivative right, or most significantly, the public performance right.
As for training LLM's, honestly I don't see that (outside of bugs or faults in that software where it inadvertently and not by design, regurgitates training data) the output of an LLM is anything more than an opinion or review, and hence not a 'derivative work' of any kind. And, therefore, it should be considered fair use. Not a lawyer but I wish I was because its basically a license to print money.
I guess a societal misalignment could be in inviting profit-driven, narcissistic dummies to run the country perhaps? That sort of scenario?
There are countries that aren't run by profit-driven, narcissistic dummies??
If it's not fair use, and the court rules that it's not, do we then have to buy a new license every time we want to read a book once more?
How does a machine reading a book fundamentally differ from a human, and why would the act of reading constitute a copyright violation?
Am I misreading this, or is Sarah Silverman's argument really that she doesn't want machines reading her work without a pay-per-read license?
This would cause problems for text-to-speech used by the blind... a machine reading her work and then plagiarising it, reading it out loud to someone? THEIVES!
magnetism is easy, it's just a moving electric field. Attraction or repulsion is just exchange of vibrations in the electric field that change momentum of charged objects, the vibrations are called photons.
Its... a pop culture reference... "Magnets, magnets, how do they work? Bitches don't know!"
But we're not talking about climates when discussing gulf stream or ocean conveyor, it's two things much simpler. The sun forcing them won't stop, and there is nothing to counter the flow. It's very basic heating of a fluid and convections.
That's reality, stop believing agenda driven doom mongers that want to stop progress and civilization.
When they can tell me how magnets work, I might listen to them.
Just as gulf stream collapse has been utterly debunked by actual physicists so it is impossible for ocean conveyor to stop. Solar energy input will cause circulation in fluid, there is no way for it not too.
Because physicists are the best at figuring out climate.
They can't even figure out gravity or how magnets work. Bitches don't know!
The problem is risk tolerance. The consequences of the simulation being wrong are low. The consequences of the current collapsing are high. So, we have to be much more risk-averse for the current.
Humans are SO bad at evaluating risk. Handing the job over to AI could hardly be any worse.
