Microsoft has been trying to build one of those for decades. XBOX, Zune, Windows app store, Windows Phone.

It's kind of ridiculous how hard they are trying to enshittify their products, and yet Windows is still by far the dominant OS.

Rather than destroying them, we could jam them. People have experimented with patterned clothing that makes AI recognize it as a mass of faces. Screens are cheap too, you could make one that blasts out randomly generated faces. Stuff the database with junk data.

Next.js doesn't exist to patch up Node's shortcomings, numerous as they are.
It exists to extend React.js to the server side for SSR, the need for which is not removed by Deno. This would still be done, whether you're using Deno or Node.js.

The cameras are higher resolution than the mastering to allow for cropping without loss of quality.

4k does have some advantages for older movies. It helps preserve the film grain, making it look less like a modern bland CGI demo reel. It also helps reduce the effects of digital aliasing, so it simply looks more like a projected movie as you would have seen it originally, than a 1080p version.

The main thing though is simply that it gives the studio another chance not to screw it up. A lot of 1080p releases were messed with, e.g. The Matrix ended up with very wrong colours, and they tried to fix it for the 4k release. On the other hand, it can go badly wrong, such as Aliens and True Lies where they AI upscaled it and now it's just AI slop.

I have no idea what any of that is, but my first question is if this AI port is actually secure and performs well. Anything for web needs to be very carefully developed.

Hope you made it out ahead.
In my 30 years of experience in the small business world, people like that often eat people like you (and me) for lunch.
In my experience, there are certain CEOs that see "board approval required to change employment status" employees as enemies and do whatever fucked up thing they can think of to get rid of them, particularly if they're noisy.

Fun fact, on a per-capita basis, there are more sex traffickers and pedophiles in ICE than illegally in the US.
I almost wonder if a no-standards appeal to put a baton and gun in the hands of every person with a tiny dick is going to attract a certain kind of individual. When did you join?

Oh ya? Acolyte of the late, great, Jeffrey Epstein, I see.

One of these days, you're going to have to make peace with your cognitive dissonance.

A good faith response from AC- incredible. You've restored an iota of my faith in humanity.

To your points, even after sunset, contracts issued prior to the sunset are still enforceable (S. 717(c))
If the Anthropic contracts predate Sep of 2025, then the sunset of the DPA simply doesn't apply to them.

I also agree with you, that I hope they tell them to get fucked and just run out the clock.
That is a large risk, though.

Sponsor? You sound like an echo from the manosphere.

They put the camera behind the screen on the iPhone, necessitating a hole in said screen for it to see out of. To try make it less of a shit idea, they expanded the hole into a "dynamic island", Apple marketing bullshit for there being a horrible black bar at the top of your screen that gets wider sometimes, which is supposed to make you think it's a feature instead of a hole in your screen.

The worst part is that because Apple is doing it, other laptop manufacturers will follow.

The exception being Windows Update, which for a long time has ignored the Hosts file because it would make it too easy to block updates. That includes malware definition updates for Windows Defender.

The drive many humans feel to propagate their genes. The whole experience of carrying a child to term is part of a bonding exercise for many.

I don't feel it myself, but I completely understand why many people do.

Making a backup is definitely a thing in the US.
Drinky is kind of right, but also kind of really reading too much into it, to the point of being abjectly wrong.

All jurisdictions I know of have some concept of a First Sale Doctrine, wherein your "license" to use a copyrighted work comes with, and follows the physical item you purcahsed.
However, in no jurisdiction I am aware of, are your rights curtailed because the item was destroyed. They're only lost if you sell it to someone else. This is for obvious reasons.
A lack of the physical item does not make you guilty of copyright infringement.
It does remove the proof that you didn't commit it, but it's not your duty to prove that you didn't commit a crime. It's the duty of the person alleging you did to prove that you did.

Destructive digitization happens because,
1) storing physical shit is expensive, storing digital shit is cheap
2) and I suspect this is the more important one- if you know you've destroyed the original copy, the license for the copy you made of it can never be transferred away from you.

I can find no evidence of any such survey.
The closest I can find is one conducted in 2019/2020 surveying how people feel about "AI" in general. Suffice to say, that survey's results are nothing close to what you are indicating.

I then searched for any articles referring to Mozilla AI assertions, looking for any evidence of a "backlash", or some primary source indicating there even was one.

One cited an article containing the following: "As a member of the open-source/Linux community who has been speaking publicly for decades, I predict that this will not be a welcome change." as evidence of a backlash.

Is this a case of me googling incompetently, you swallowing the hyperbolic bullshit soup that is online reporting, or you being full of shit?
