instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership.

Once the laws are gone/things are deregulated, the corpos will likely take over. Nationalizing sounds good, but likely won’t end well without regulations, imo.

I’m being a bit extra but…

Your statement:

The article headline is wildly misleading, bordering on being just a straight up lie.

The article headline:

A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It

The general story in reference to the headline:

• He found csam in a known AI dataset, a dataset which he stored in his account.
• Google banned him for having this data in his account.
• The article mentions that he tripped the automated monitoring tools.

The article headline is accurate if you interpret it as

“A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It” (“it” being “csam”).

The article headline is inaccurate if you interpret it as

“A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It” (“it” being “reporting csam”).

I read it as the former, because the action of reporting isn’t listed in the headline at all.

Google isn’t the only service checking for csam. Microsoft (and other file hosting services, likely) also have methods to do this. This doesn’t mean they also host csam to detect it. I believe their checks use hash values to determine if a picture is already clocked as being in that category.

This has existed since 2009 and provides good insight on the topic, used for detecting all sorts of bad category images:

There’s no point in taking moderation seriously. It’s a volunteer position and the tools to handle slop aren’t there.

I hear they’re bringing back digg.

I also hear it’s a former Reddit C-suite that’s bringing it back, so it’ll probably be more of the same.

Before the KKK?

How?

Last I checked years ago, they sold their carbon credits for a whole lot of money whenever they earned them.

They’re part of the Old Testament, which pulls from Jewish scripture, but it’s all Abrahamic to me. They should post the Beatitudes if they really want to keep things Christian-specific, but they won’t. Why? Just read them (and the corresponding Woes in Luke) and you’ll see. The Wikipedia article should be enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

AI can scrape books and journals for info, but can’t scrape Reddit?

All you need to know about his company promises: “HE FIXED TRAFFIC”, from Adam Something on YouTube: https://youtu.be/p8NiM_p8n5A

I’m way too nervous to try river water.

1. Linux tutorials need to get idiot proof.
2. They need to work on giving people knowledge about driver support. “Why doesn’t my bluetooth/sound/wifi work anymore?” shouldn’t be such a common issue for people switching to those OSs.
3. If Recall is sending your information to offsite servers, what’s stopping people from flooding those servers with bs?

Not only was the apology horrible, but for any user on that platform for YEARS: obviously puts the thought in their head that spez could be changing their words by directly editing the db, and getting them put on a list for wrong-speak. Sure, that’s possible with any DB, but he proved it was actually something being done on that site. Given his role, a major red flag, as this type of action would normally result in someone being fired.

Reddit has since IPOd and is going to probably do well as a stock because of all the information it harvests from users.

I’ll never forget how he changed users’ text without them knowing it before the 2016 election. Reddit was going downhill before, but that was a turning point.

Make an AI that is trained on the books.

Tell it to tell you a story for one of the books.

Read the story without paying for it.

The law says this is ok now, right?

I understand where you’re coming from, because many societies are being structured in ways that make it feel like you are only hurting yourself by not being just and moral. It’s truly horrible when trying to live a life following “the good” puts you in the path of pain all the time, working jobs you don’t want to afford not to be put out on the street (and God forbid you want to have kids if you’re in a high cost of living area).

With all that being said: I’d fear becoming an evil person more than dying poor. I hope that we can work together to make a world that isn’t run by greedy, bad people.

Stop the sale of carbon credits and you’ll really see the stock dip.

Jumped to linux with a new laptop, but not gaming on it. It’s fine for what I need. My old machine will be for gaming only.

Aaron Swartz does it for educational journals and gets the hammer brought down on him. Zuck n’ Co do it and get government funding.

Boo.
