(Not in OP city) There’s a lot of homeless people here and they like to sleep in entranceways and similar things, so you’ll often see gates etc that get closed in front. One business had a open area beside it that homeless people were sleeping in, so they installed rounded spikes on the ground to make the area unusable. Caused a quite a bit of drama with the city.
Sometimes the law is really fucking bizarre hah.
That honestly makes absolutely zero sense…
Transmitting it is illegal.
If creating it is illegal (e.g hand drawn), it is impossible to possess it, and not have transmitted it. Either you created it, or transmitted it, and while maybe they can’t prove one or the other, you broke a law?
Wouldn’t this be more like, writing a computer virus is legal, but using the virus isn’t?
One way around it is we might see legislation require AI watermark generated images. If you have CSAM that isnt watermarked you used software thats against law, or its real CSAM unless you can somehow prove otherwise. If you prove its AI, hit them with the illegal software charge assuming they didnt do any of the other illegal things that can be done with the content (e.g uploading it somewhere)
A watermark law seems like its going to happen.
Edit: and some are starting to watermark of their own choice. Claude is altering text output to make it identifiable, they claim without altering the meaning or intention of its output.
Also the ruling was just about the possession of it, which when it doesnt depict a real person, isnt against the law.
They get people by having pictures of real people OR transmitting it which is strictly against the law even when its all made up.
Given existing laws, if he transmitted it which he is charged with, he will still be found guilty.
The moment it exits or enters your home from outside its transmitting. Transmitting is as simple as going to a website and downloading it, or uploading it to a cloud drive, or even some cloud service to move it between 2 devices you own.
People out there who think they can avoid AI this way are really just delusional. Its everywhere at this point.
If its not in the software you are using, the software that runs the software has it. Or the software that runs the software that runs the software. Its inescapable.
You’re on the internet? Millions of lines of AI code are probably involved in you seeing this message across the entire infrastructure needed to allow this.
Thats wild. The last part about using the savings for their cache, did they mean the CDN type stuff or was that something related to the 1.1.1.1 stuff?
Either way their plans to use the new excess for the cache will further make things faster for everyone.
I worry this might be more than just him throwing a tantrum.
When the water wars start, they’ll start going, Canada is stealing water from LAKE AMERICA, OUR LAKE, OUR WATER!
setting the stage for a future war
They also sell access to use the models on hardware.
people start using “tweet” and “twitter” again
I never stopped
Thats definitely a fair take.
Do you think people would have enjoyed the TV show as much though with all the cast changes that would have been required?
I haven’t read the books, but my understanding is that was why, so they could have recurring characters and some continuity.
Edit: and once you do that… well all sorts of shit changes.
but… if it identifies as it, that kinda means we need to let it into the newsroom =(
The anti ai crowed is so rabid even that would cause immense backlash.
And many Americans would love Canada if Canadians would sell them those drugs at costs far below what the American Pharma industry was charging.
Oh thats so fiendish.
allowing our pharmaceutical companies to make any us drug ignoring patents/licenses would be pretty brutal.
People seem to underestimate the scale of utility level solar installations and the space they need, and the economies of scale you get with it.
Like absolutely when it makes sense cover a parking lot, put it on roofs etc, but if you can access a field with the right conditions it’ll be more cost effective.
You also left off things like permitting. You can permit 1 big field, or dozens / hundreds of parking lots. One field will be easier.
Makes you wonder how much could we alleviate strain on the grid by upgrading existing things like this that can be self contained.
The last time I switched to Telus, the person selling it to me lied their ass off about practically everything.
When they installed the fiber in the building it got activated with all the final paperwork.
I read it over, and ya all lies. I called them, they confirmed none of it was true.
Canceled immediately in the free cancelation window.
Never again.
