Isn't that encryption?

Kinda, but with encryption you know it's encrypted. With this you don't know what data is real and what's ~~fair~~ fake.

Good point yeah. We want to poison the damn things. Which is fun.

Reminds me of steganography, still.

"Theft"? Are they afraid robots are going to break into their buildings and start stealing stuff‽

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This implies that you think "data poisoning" is laying physical poison dart traps.

[–] riskable@programming.dev -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Theft is something that happens to physical things. What's actually happening is "copying".

The MPAA/RIAA made the "copying is theft" argument over and over again in the 90s and early 2000s. It was wrong then and it's wrong now.

Aha, now I see your point. Could I just borrow your bank login details? If you have some digital current in there, I'd like to copy it.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Bank account details are a form of credentials. If I gave them to you, I'd also still have them.

If you took the money out of my account, that's theft though. Because the account is a digital way of holding something physical (money). It's a mechanism of exchange, not data in and of itself.

Besides, money isn't real anyway!
