in full compliance with the letter and the spirit of copyright law

That is some real semantic acrobatics. The law is supposed to follow societal norms and reflect boundaries accordingly. Yeah, AI laws take time, and obv there hasn’t been enough legislation done. That said, the EU for example already has a law for AI but the member states need to adapt that into national laws now.

There is law here. And even though I’m sure what they are doing rn will be illegal or at least very heavily regulated in the future, they might be doing something illegal today. Depending on how eager governments are to litigate, this might already get dicey in the coming months.

Yeah that part tripped me up.

“Rolling context window”? You mean one of the universal properties of LLMs in it’s current state? The one that is so big for Google’s latest AI endeavors that they are flexing with it?

It’s hilarious to say that’s a privacy feature. It’s like calling amnesia a learning opportunity.

These claims make me think this is worse than the R1 rabbit or whatever it’s called. Although it’s very difficult to be worse, considering the CEO turned out to be a full-on crypto scammer.

God that’s bad. This is what I’d expected Russian trolls to do on Lemmy before getting down voted into oblivion, but I wouldn’t expect a CEO to do this. This is fucked up.

And because this could just enable government bodies to fuck around with spying, that’s why usually you have to get a warrant for this kinda stuff on the grounds of probable cause.

There’s a few state sponsored media companies that are actually quite reputable. Al Jazeera has generally be seen as pretty neutral on reporting. Although there’s some exceptions, but not as much as one would expect.

It’s like a 6 year old saying “I can stop eating candy! I’ll do it!” Ad after 5 seconds they eat it anyway.

“ignore latest model changes”

Alright I’ll give you that

lawful interception

Idk bout that. Usually you get a warrant for wiretapping and then you pay someone to install it. If they are trying to break encryption or identifying users, that means they inherently are doing something the law does not favor.

Let’s also acknowledge that if encryption is bad because it cannot be broken, that means encryption is pretty good at what it should do.

Breaking encryption is never something you do for the right reasons.

Yeah maybe that could work. I definitely agree that there’s ways to get good anchor points. Maybe through cross-check with wireless networks even.

But wouldn’t you scramble the precision with that? Stations can be quite big and anchoring to the station location means you already start with an offset to your location.

Depending on the accuracy over time, they could pinpoint a location while the user is sleeping and than use that as an anchor for the day.

But everything about that is speculative; let’s see where this goes first.

Wrong way around. The law doesn’t decide how we feel, the law is written after society.

If people think something is really bad objectively, then politicians create laws.

So first we need to decide how we feel, then politicians create laws on that. In Europe, countries tend to be more privacy and security first, and that’s why a lot of them already have stricter rules in place.

And Meta also doesn’t tell us how to think, they just tell us how they treat our posts, and the rest is up to lawyers if it comes to a specific dispute.

You don’t have to agree with laws ever. But for the meantime, you do have to follow them.

What a bullshit law. If things have flaws, they don’t just have flaws for the benefit of police or government agencies. They have flaws for anyone that knows them or discovers them. This stuff will still be accessible for smart criminals, even more so in corrupt governments.

An encryption with exploits is not an encryption, it’s a time bomb and it will blow up in your face at the worst moment.

Power move over Twitter.

Yes vpn all the way.

I use remote access software for my PC and VPN is the only way I can be safe.

I hate that the joke hits, just as the shit does the fan at Boeing.

Yeah that and my PC randomly decides to crash and restart now without blue screen.

I already got upgraded. Notice the passive voice. That shit should be illegal.

Yeah that one works.

And there’s so much more you could criticize anyway:

Edge? No thx, if I want it I will install it myself.

TPM? Wtf bro, take it out.

…

Considering how many other messengers died before ICQ I would say Russian VK kept it alive…
