Comment Genai (Score 1) 39

"It's also pretty wild the button specifically uses the term "AI slop" and not, say, "It seems this was generated with AI."

It makes sense. They don't care if the content is AI generated, this is not a moral stance because linkedin doesn't do those. This is people complaining about slop and LinkedIn pretending to care

Actually, it's exactly the same issue. Just using a different program.

It's not the same issue.

The pdf redaction folks drew black bars over extant text and hid it that way.
The excel chap clicked on "hide this tab".

There is no evidence that anyone was trying to redact anything when they hid the tab, they may have just been trying not to confuse the recipient. The person who hid the sheet is not the person who shared the document. Any similarity which did exist would be irrelevant because format shifting to a PDF would still solve this problem.

The example might have been chosen because synthsizing cocaine from raw materials is hard, so revealing a process that begins with "obtain illegal drugs" is unlikely to do harm.

In many cases, coca leaf is not illegal. You can buy coca tea in Peru. People frequently bring it back into this country because it just looks like tea. It's a reasonably mild stimulant, similar in effect to smoking a cigar. I understand that you need quite a bit to make any significant amount of cocaine, but I've never tried so I wouldn't really know.

Comment Re:Unencrypted? (Score 3, Insightful) 63

I've work in technical industries, and they can't handle encryption. You try to send someone an encrypted file with clear instructions to decrypt it, and they will fail and demand you send it over unencrypted instead. I can only imagine that it's even worse in creative industries.

Companies instead rely on contracts obliging the receiver to protect their property. When they don't, a lawsuit like this is the result. And it may even work out better for them, because a movie that might have been a flop instead nets them whatever they can convince a court to award.

Not in Europe. It's a bit complicated because there may be things like news articles that are public, but generally speaking there isn't some website or database where anyone can go look up what criminal convictions someone else has.

There is also a time limit on many of them, after which they don't have to be reported to your employer or insurance company, for example.

Comment So it fixes the security? (Score 1) 37

I love the fact that this article claims the specification fixes the "main barrier to Enterprise Adoption (of AI slop)" right after an article saying basically AI will never be secure and you need to stop pretending it ever will be.

So it's unreliable, removes business knowledge from the employees of a company and puts it in the hands of a hostile third party, and now it turns out it's insecure, but adoption of the slobtasystem is only being held back by some specification? Really?

That's what I was talking about in another thread in this discussion when I said PDFs have their own issues but they wouldn't apply here. That's a problem when redacting PDFs, WHICH NO ONE SHOULD EVER DO. They should either go back to the source document, redact that, and create a new PDF; Or they should create an image from the PDF, redact that, and then they can publish that as a new PDF.

What LLMs do can not reasonably be called learning, or even frankly training, though the latter has unfortunately stuck.

On the other hand it's also not storing the original data (although the training corpus is that) but rather data about the data.

However, the standard for a derivative work is that it contains substantial recognizable elements, not that it's a 1:1 copy, so that distinction may be irrelevant, or at least not mean what you think it means.
