Hot takes incoming from the Telegraph. Someone lock this guy up in the bottom of a shuttered coalfire plant with a typewriter and an iPhone with only Tumblr and Tinder installed. We may have found a carbon-neutral way to get those turbines turning!

Lol actually

The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It’s good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.

It’s just websites. I’m not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That’s what a browser is for.

But at least when I have to write a professional sounding email I can shut off my brain and make the computer cluster do it!

It doesn’t look AI generated. It’s more likely that they wrote different text templates for different resolution ranges.

DHS shouldn’t

To them it’s more trouble to actually double check or review hits then to just give people a blanket ban if they might could possibly be shoplifters.

Like if a company does not operate in the United States at all and they break a law (however poorly written) from any given state, maybe they can choose to not care, but maybe they still have to because of any number of treaties with the United States. Or because of the outsized number of us internet users. Even Italy is causing people headaches with some of their absurd internet censorship laws. It’s just a problem when governments try to pass excessively broad laws about internet services.

Hey lookie here, the statistical pattern matching algorithm has some uses that could help society maybe possibly. Sure beats replacing artists or building inefficient chat bots that give people the Eliza effect.

But that doesn’t fix this. If someone actually from Utah uses a non-Utah IP to access data in a manner not approved by Utah, they can be held liable. The only way to get around this is, aside from the law being struck down, is for companies out to operate outside the legal reach of the state of Utah, or to act as if everyone in the world lives in Utah. It’s a really bad law.

Funny how even the things “AI” is okay at (pattern matching within a certain margin of error) still can’t be used properly.

That was over a month ago. A lot has changed in that time. Ubuntu is not associated with the UK military or even government.

Amazon does support the US government and other governments through the provision of their web services.

For all its problems I don’t believe Iran is an irrational actor.

Except for the mandatory age verification it doesn’t seem bad at all. “Except for” is doing a heavy lift there however.

For most popular distros most stuff works out of the gate. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to wrestle with anything vexing.

I kinda assume the hacker group link is fake. Ubuntu is British, but Microsoft contracts with the US DoD. It doesn’t make sense, unless it’s just easy money. I don’t quite buy it.

It can barf out large outputs fast. As long as you review it and clean it up, it can get you 90% of the way there on a lot of things where you know what the final output should be basically. Need a quick bit of code for a common process? An email requesting a meeting? A picture of a dog burying a bone? A list of which people might be the suspect in the video? Then AI is great!

Need math? Accurate texts or image matching? Use a different tool.

Good twist on that one.

Goodbye Tim Apple, hello John Apple.
