Spotify, UMG To Let Fans Make Other Peoples' Music Their Own Music With AI

That, too, can be abused. The notorious They can just as easily put out a license plate alert for a "kidnapper" who is really wanted for some other reason. Don't say it hasn't happened.

Double fuck you for trying to sell my freedom for safety, for implying this draconian surveillance is necessary, and for using fear to sell tyranny. Your kidnapping fantasy ignores how police actually work.
Real investigations rely on probable cause, warrants, witness tips, and focused detective work. Not a nationwide dragnet that scans every license plate, logging billions of innocent movements for later scrutiny. And if some cases can't be solved, or solved as quickly, that's an absolutely necessary sacrifice.

This pervasive surveillance creates Foucault's Panopticon: a digital eye that chills free movement and association, breeds self-censorship, invites abuse like tracking abortions or protests, and normalizes state ownership of our data. It doesn't secure borders or safety; it erodes the freedoms that define us. My hope for my children is not that they remain safe but that they remain free.

>Do you have good evidence that they have solid security? No? Then you must assume it is bad.

Which in practice means "no open source tools"

I hate the overuse of the word "diabolical" but in this one case, it fits. There's no way a normal coder could detect this. The only fix is to lock down your whole stack rigidly, and pay the price in productivity and unhappy developers.

Fortunately, that's highly unlikely. There has never been a confirmed case of airborne transmission between humans. Most transmission is due to insufficient and unsanitary health care facilities, due to lack of funds.

I had already received three Pfizer shots when I came down with the virus (confirmed, with a test that came up positive in less than a minute). However, I am absolutely convinced that the severity of my case was so minimal (sleeping under a blanket on the couch in my clothes for 3-4 days) because of the enhanced response of my immune system, due to the vaccine.

Correct. It's like a governor declaring a state of emergency ... for a flood that only affects one region of their state. These alerts are a call to action for officials, not the general public.

AI, huh? And here I thought the, uh, government might seize the opportunity to declare these companies illegal gambling that's rife with insider trading and other criminality, and shut them down.

The problem is always the relative ease of modern travel. This outbreak would be a regional issue if there were no jet planes.

So far, the outbreak is reasonably confined. But it might not stay that way. Raising that alarm is one of the key functions of the WHO.

Let the powerful crush you, as long as the other team gets crushed harder? Instead of picking a political party, why not fight authoritarianism directly?

No kidding! If Trump had decent PR, they would have had one of the "engineers" of the phone "accidentally" leave one at a bar in San Francisco by now.

Other AI models. AI model scrapes web, web is full of AI hallucinations, AI outputs more hallucinations based on false data, rinse and repeat.

It is kinda weird. On top of it not being a programming language, does any DB professional really use stock ANSI SQL? Doesn't every database have its own, unique extensions (PL/SQL maybe being the most famous example)?

Probably people with an existing codebase to maintain.
