@elliotjaystocks Cry about it. Then burn.

@GossiTheDog What is this? Other than gorgeous?

@schmutzie Yeah, although curious; didn't realize Canada had slightly-better privacy protections than the U.S., figured it was either all on-par with the EU or nothing like down here.

@schmutzie They've also got one under "Personalized Shopping", starting next year -

@hacks4pancakes didn't...wasn't it the NBA all-star game that abandoned Georgia over their Don't Say Gay Bill? If the NBA can move an entire three-day basketball tournament (iirc, at the last minute), all these other firms can get a different hotel.

Ah, THAT'S why the #NYMTA hosted a cybersecurity conference :blobcatbusiness:

A few days early maybe but it's time for the October Surprise! No it's not a candidate's secret love child or yet another attempt at subverting democracy, IT'S:

Also, while I was unfortunately unable to attend, I'm very disappointed #PennState has chosen "AI for Good" (and reportedly throwing it's weight behind 'creative' #AI alongside more acceptable analytical AI) as the inaugural subject of its first Global Impact Forum (#TGIF) Seems to be a bit contemptuous of the work the students in PS Law and the Stuckeman School are achieving.

I had an opportunity to chat with #AI proponents recently. The recurring theme from them every time it was brought up how generative AI is in flagrant violation of #copyright laws, is that technology has advanced beyond law, and 'that horse has left the barn'. That particular phrase was oft repeated, which, pardon my curtness, is abject bull.

OpenAI ADMITTED it must use copyrighted work to function, and does not obtain proper permission. Therefore, it confessed to being violation of copyright law.

A court order directing them to purge their improperly obtained items would be a VERY FAST way to put that horse 'back in the barn', so to speak...or more appropriately, the glue factory.

@mdemeulder First, welcome. Second, given your focus - out of curiosity, are you aware of an upcoming deaf performance of American Idiot? playbill.com/article/daniel-du

@GossiTheDog Couls we maybe send John Wick to resolve this? #StopTheHoard.

@jchyip Good, now investigate him. She's the sitting VP, she like has a higher detail level than a candidate does.

@dyckron Also wait, is this the 1Ocean group? Those wristbands actually worked??

2024-09-16

@dyckron An unexpected surprise, but a welcome one.

Ah yes, so the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are going to lead the charge in regulating #AI. I'm certain they'll look to ensure the right of #artists and creators, particularly those who may run afoul of the Riyadh Charter for AI in the Islamic World, right? Not to mention quickly incorporating it into their cyber warfare platforms (but not for anyone else)*, and burning through mountains of fossil fuels in the process.

Brilliant.

*(By the way, I'm fully aware every other nation on the planet would do this in the same manner. This particular point of criticism applies to all of them; I'm just focusing on the current subjects of the article - also, all three would likely be more aggressive in offensive utilization than, say, France.)
