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.

Well, the CSAM stuff is unforgivable but I seriously doubt even the soulless demon that is Elon Musk wants his AI tool generating that. I'm sure they're working on it (it's actually a hard computer science sort of problem because the tool is supposed to generate what the user asks for and there's always going to be an infinite number of ways to trick it since LLMs aren't actually intelligent).

Porn itself is not illegal.

I don't know, man... Have you even seen Amber? It might be worth an alert 🤷

I don't know how to tell you this but... Every body gives a shit. We're born shitters.

Hide fake data in with your real data. Then, if an AI is trained (not just reading) that data, it will be poisoned.

Yeah, OK.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

Nobody is going to steal data specifically for training AI with it. They're going to use an existing AI model to analyze the data and it will notice and point out the problems with the poisoned set. Then the person analyzing the data will be like, "what the fuck is this garbage?" And delete it.

LLMs are mostly being trained with synthetic data these days anyway (which is interesting... These generated texts are so bizarre!). Generative image AI still needs images though but that's basically impossible to poison at this point because all the images go through pre-training to narrow down the bounding boxes (for the metadata) which negates any intentional poisoning. Furthermore, the image metadata databases are constantly in a state of pruning and improving. Trying to sneak a poisoned image into them is all but impossible except for academic stuff whcih... Well, why TF would you want to hurt the poor guy trying to write his PhD thesis that says, "AI is bad, here's why..."

Good catch!

The real problem here is that Xitter isn't supposed to be a porn site (even though it's hosted loads of porn since before Musk bought it). They basically deeply integrated a porn generator into their very publicly-accessible "short text posts" website. Anyone can ask it to generate porn inside of any post and it'll happily do so.

It's like showing up at Walmart and seeing everyone naked (and many fucking), all over the store. That's not why you're there (though: Why TF are you still using that shithole of a site‽).

The solution is simple: Everyone everywhere needs to classify Xitter as a porn site. It'll get blocked by businesses and schools and the world will be a better place.

Yep. Stadia also had a feature like this (that no one ever used).

Just another example of why software patents should not exist.

 
 

We should generate images for other metaphors

 

Manufacturer wanted $25 (+shipping) for a replacement garage door opener wall switch. 13 minutes of printing + 5 minutes of soldering + two leftover Cherry MX Blue switches (that I'll be use) and the problem is solved 👍

Note: The wiring was slightly more involved than I thought... needed a resistor for the light (there's only two wires but it's got two functions: Light on/off and garage open/close.

If folks are interested I could make a much fancier PCB-based version with screw terminals and whatnot. It's a very trivial schematic.

 

Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System! Thanks for 30 years of demonstrating Linux superiority with a gap that widens with every new kernel release 👍

 

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

I wasn't expecting to be joining a LotR meme community when I started this journey but I must say it does feel like you are my people. Maybe some day we will draw swords together.
