Except we aren't talking about the USA DMCA law here. We are talking about Japan's copyright laws which are much stricter.

They have scheduled maintenance notices at several data centres that seem to coincide with the outage... coincidence or yet another self inflicted configuration screw up?

I love the bit at around 47 seconds in this years ad where there are a bunch of people facing away from the truck about to be run over and it doesn't even slow down. It is unclear if they got hit or not because they move off screen just before impact.

I've only seen my brother talk to a woman and then marry her once. Given how often my brother talks to women he must have been married thousands of times by now.

Given school buses usually have cameras these days and drivers frequently report humans not stopping using them, not to mention the eagerness for people to post such things on social media in the hope of getting a viral video. If this was a frequent thing we would have had many more than just one report. Unless they have reports or proof of multiple instances they have no basis to make that assertion.... which would suggest that this is probably someone's personal vendetta or politically motivated.

Can you imagine calling a company and all the person on the other end of the phone does is repeat everything back to you several times then goes on to tell you everything they need to do on the system because they don't have a keyboard and there is a lot of background noise so the speech recognition is unreliable?

Games are expensive and digital so you can't club together with your friends and share one copy between you.

The dialogue tells the story. Introducing the current crop of LLMs would be a terrible player experience that would overshadow any good parts of the game. Between incorrectly interpreted input, tricking the LLM to give random spoilers for future events, missed key information because the player didn't think to ask about it, and completely hallucinated random responses it would be a train wreck.

And thats before you even consider that AI voices while much improved still don't quite sound right and have the correct emotional nuance that you would get from a a good voice actor.

Give me a well written and told story over LLM chaos any day.

You can actually choose on your Windows settings to allow letters and other characters in your Windows PIN...

Once you sign up for this junk I can guarantee that they will take it as permission to spam you with messages and track your activity forever more.

If a film needs you to experience "sneak peeks, exclusive recorded messages from directors and talent" while watching it for the first time all the time being constantly distracted by others also doing the same then it can't be much of a film. While some people might like having the 'DVD extras' they shouldn't be required to enjoy the film.

In any case its clearly just consumer tracking marketing BS that people are falling for so this is one film I don't think I'll bother going to see.

Also I wouldn't be surprised that in accessing the message bot you are signing over your first born child to eternal servitude in some hidden contract term.

Paper (or as that AC mentioned microfiche). Not only do PDFs have issues with internal layout, missing fonts resulting in font substitution, embedded low quality raster images etc. they also have all sorts of permission weirdness under the hood that can cause issues processing them in anything other than Acrobat. And Acrobat will enforce those permissions. For instance they have a "page extraction" permission which can block any attempt to separate the document into single pages and then turn the pages into images for an OCR process. Another permission can just block you from printing them. Combine these and you end up with a real problem when companies create "fillable" PDFs that can't be processed in any way other than having a human read them in official Adobe software. And thats not even considering PDFs that need a password soyou need to store the password somewhere with the PDF if you ever want to re-open it at any time in the future. A BIG problem if the PDF contains some kind of form or contract you will need to refer to in 5 years time or longer.

It should be all the things. You should learn the theory and how to code and put that into practice using a language that is usable in the workplace. It is an undergraduate degree which should give a well rounded understanding of the subject not a ten hour coding course at your local college. If you don't have the base concepts of writing code and understanding the theoretical and practical aspects of the science then the degree is not worth the paper it's printed on.

Imagine a chemistry degree where you never got any lab experience or only ever did labs where you followed written instructions without understanding why the reaction gets hot and turns the liquid orange.

The act of stuffing information into an AI model is not in itself directly critique or journalism so that cannot apply here. If all they were doing was processing information through an algorithm that directly created articles as its output they may have an argument for this.

What they are actually doing is using someone else's database that they haven't licensed to build a new commercial database with an unconventional interface and data storage that may or may not then be used to write text that may or may not be considered journalism.

Or it might just be they are kitted out with so much camera coverage and other data collection that they can almost always prove the other party is at fault and are not liable for damages.

This means they could actually be in more actual accidents but just almost always never have to pay out.
