Because filtering the training data is so much harder than just having them swim through the internet swallowing everything, like whales eating krill.

And that is the entire problem with all the LLVM based systems. The moment any bad data is used in training the network, the bad data is in there forever and can not be "forgotten", simply suppressed via specific ruleset.

OK, ask the LLM to create some known exploits. If you're agentic, you can have it submit the patch automatically. Then if the kernel team is sufficiently agentic, they can approve the patch automatically and get it integrated.

I hope we NEVER get there. The last thing you want to do is let automated systems automate their own solutions that are automatically pushed out without any human overview and testing. You will suddenly wake up one day to "your" system farming crypto tokens for some random wallet somewhere....

Yep, because mine are all segregated onto their own VLAN (well, more specifically 1 of either 2 VLANs depending on if an internet connection is even needed or not to control the devices). I then have my pFsense edge router denying access to many things using pfSense-ng (which is sort of like pihole, but on steroids as it not only works on the DNS lookup info, but also applies active firewall rules to block the outgoing and incoming traffic from both the DNS names but also the IP's so that a piece of software can't bypass a pihole like device by simply coding in IP addresses)...

Well, the courts have already ruled on very similar things, multiple times. If the code is machine created, even if the user is pushing buttons to tell the computer to run, the end work can not be copyrighted.

In 2023, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia became the first court to specifically address the copyrightability of AI-generated outputs. The plaintiff challenged the Office's refusal to register an image that was described in his application as "autonomously created by a computer algorithm running on a machine." Affirming the Office's refusal, the court stated that "copyright law protects only works of human creation," and that "human authorship is a bedrock requirement of copyright." It found that "copyright has never stretched so far [as] . . . to protect works generated by new forms of technology operating absentany guiding human hand." Because, by his own representation, the "plaintiff played no role in using the AI to generate the work," the court held that it did not meet the human authorship requirement. The decision has been appealed.

I have not seen any appeals ruling yet on this. But I also do not expect one as this follows many other such copyright rulings in the past, such as the cases like the "monkey selfie" case, which the Copyright office issued a Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices 12/22/2014 which stated:

"only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention" and that "Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author', the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants."

Then there is the case of the copyright of comic book "Zarya of the Dawn", authors by artist and AI consultant, Kris Kashtanova, which the images were all created/generated through the use of Midjourney. They Copyright office provided a copyright only on the compendium of the book itself, but all the individual images generated via Midjourney are not copyrightable and are in the public domain to be free for use by anyone, as the simple operation of prompts and instructions to Midjourney was insufficient human authorship to be able to claim a human created the work.

Seriously, anyone using a smart TV should have it extremely limited with what it can reach on the internet, and really, probably should have it blocked entirely. I mean, we have cameras in TV's that take photos of who is in the room, and internal snapshots of what is being displayed on the HDMI connections so that it can lookup the show/video/content and match against what (male/female, baby/toddler/child/teen/young adult/adult/senior) and how many people are watching it.

Wow, somebody needs a lesson on proper money management if they can't get by with a six figure income. As stated by some other posters, that is well above the average of $66,622, and also above the median income of $83,730 (in other words, you make more than 1/2 the people in the nation!), even if it is just at $100,000. In fact, only 18% of people in the USA make $100,000 or more per year!

So you are in the top 20% of earners in the USA, and globally, you are somewhere in the top 0.1% of earners (to put some perspective on it)....

So now that you realize you are not only part of the 1%'ers (you are well beyond it from a global point of view, as you only needed ~$34,000 a year to join that club), you need to seriously rethink and put some perspective on a six figure income. You also need to put some thought into the difference between high wealth and high income. If you are simply p!ssing it all away and living paycheck to paycheck trying to "keep up with the Jones's lifestyle", you are absolutely doing it wrong. Trying to follow the latest fad, or fashion, or car craze, or instagram vacation lifestyle just isn't possible without a high wealth, not a high income. When your wealth is such a way that the money you have saved, and invested in stocks, bonds, real-estate, rental properties, and/or businesses simply grows on its own to the point that you don't need to do anything, and it well outpaces what your traditional 6 figure income, well, then you can do things like buy that latest fashion outfit, or go on a six week vacation around the world.... And you get there by working your @ss off when you are young and saving everything you can, eating things like ramen noodles for $0.50 a meal, and drink tap water or home made tea, and only going out to eat a couple times a month, as well as drive a modest car till it is well into it's teenage years of age and finally ditching it when a repair bills to keep it going for the year begin to exceed ~1/8th the price of a new one, and save/invest every remaining dollar you have. You manage to do that in your 20's and 30's and you will be set in your 40's and older, especially if you were earning 6 figures, or even the median US income. The 30 years of interest and growth on properly invested savings should have allowed it to compound ~16x. So if you earned $100,000 and simple saved the approx $16,000 that would have dropped you down to the median income in the USA, in the first year, in 30 years even without saving a single penny more, it would be around $256k, and at around 45 years it would be over $1million. Now image you had been saving $16k each and every year of those 45 years, and never touched it for another 45 years, if you started that at 20 and went until you were 65 year old, you would have effectively 1 million dollars each year showing up in your bank account each year from age 65 until you were 110.
