Re:Microsoft and Epic Games Suddenly Agree That AI Is Theft

You can’t have the first one without the second one.
AI doesn’t create something out of thin air, it is only recreating from training data. Which is infringing portion of the argument.

Awareness and care is one thing. A unanimous action plan is another. Violation of privacy is not viewed through similar lens as say theft or other forms of crimes.

I should have phrased it differently. I can’t find a decent spec phone priced appropriately that I can add to cart and order it.

Not always. Many places will avoid hiring people to do the work instead they just contract it out. Saves them money in short term. Why hire someone at 100k, pay 401k, insurance, pto when I can simply buy it for 50k.

It appears this guy is a low hanging fruit with previous cybercrime convictions that they grabbed to “send a message” to the group. But it doesn’t seem like they even know the identities of rest of the group members.

Do you think the training process will retain these artifacts? I doubt it. If they were simply stealing the content - sure it would make sense - but I suspect they’re feeding it into training data and RL might distill these out.

You can always flash and factory reset. I’d bet 99.9% of phones on eBay are by and for general public and not some esoteric zero days in the wild that your comment makes it sound like.

IANAL - if they break the bail conditions the judge may issue a warrant depending on severity, clearly a warrant was not issued here, otherwise there’s no need for pretext like you said.
Article also states bail jumping charge was dismissed but the weed charge is the only charge that remains.
Re:US Government targets Cop City protester over phone operating system

I don’t think courts care about technicality here. They’re going to simply ask “why didn’t it unlock like a normal phone does” -> aka you’re deliberately hiding evidence from us.
I’m sure this case will be dropped because it will open bigger can of worms and may jeopardize the current practice of warrantless invasive searches at the entry points. Secretly I hope this goes to Supreme Court and once and for all they clarify on “constitution doesn’t apply at the border” piece of thinking

What are those trackpads/touchpads between the left and right boards? What cables are those that are attached to both the keyboard and trackpad. Looks almost like an Ethernet cable but must be a usbC. Does anyone know the type/brand of the cable.

Let me get this straight. We have a memory shortage due to AI slop which is not really efficient and to solve that problem we need to stop the AI slop and hand write the code.

Isn’t tracking part of “search”? wouldn’t you need a warrant or court order to request my cellphone gps data? How is this tracking/search not contradictory to unreasonable search portion of the 4th amendment.
The action of tracking and touching flock itself is violation of 4th amendment.
