Comment How about fixing that FUBAR copy/paste function? (Score 2) 59

It would actually be easy. Just copy/paste honoring the formatting of the TARGET. Have you ever tried copy/pasting something into a Teams chat? Or an Outlook mail? 9 out of 10 times what you WANT is to get the content formatted in the way the text is formatted in the chat or mail.

What you GET though is that it pastes everything retaining the format of the source.

And yes. I know that I could right click, paste text only... but why is that not the STANDARD behaviour?

Comment "Landmark"? (Score 2) 28

They decided that AI content needs to be labeled. That's pretty much the big whoop here.

At the same time, anyone who ever had to deal with it knows that it's virtually impossible to tell AI generated content from human generated content. Hell, even AI cannot do it. Which becomes more and more of a problem when training AI (which is, I'm sure, one of the motivations for the whole deal) because more and more training material for new AIs is hallucinations from former AI generations.

And you can't manually vet it. The amount of content AI can generate easily outpaces anything humans could audit and vet.

That law is toothless.

1) Try looking at some Anime and you tell me what age the characters are.
2) Yes, and as long as this is the crime, it's a non-story. It seems, though, that they want to muddle the waters here and make creating the fake porn the crime.
3) Who exactly is the victim in a fake CP "crime"? Last I checked electrons don't have feelings.

Comment Re:I have a solution (Score 3, Insightful) 101

Last I checked the issue was about returning to the office; that doesn't automatically make it about "having to work" (work from home is working, and people slacking off doesn't translate into "nobody works when remote). Not to mention that it isn't "whining" or "bitching" to express displeasure *in of itself*.

I can see why you posted this comment as anon, given how jackassedly presumptuous it is.

Comment Re:Effectively listens. (Score 1) 57

And so who does AI also sift other keywords and send that data to? It's once again a case of AI hell, the road paved with good intentions. If it can sift for scams, can it also use voice microtremors to detect someone's lying? Or signal law enforcement that a probable crime is about to take place? What are the actual boundaries here?

No one or thing should be listening in on my conversations. It's not paranoia, it's the basis for privacy. This is one of the more Big Brother-ish miss-applications of AI that I've heard of yet.

Comment Re:Effectively listens. (Score 1) 57

I don't like the idea, absent of a warrant, of anyone listening in on my calls, human or non-human. The concept is entirely invasive.

Instead, improve the methods of stanching scam call originators, through SIP control, and banning the issuance of US numbers to outside sources, e.g. Google Voice, etc.

Reverse tracerouting of calls would be a glorious invention.
