Yeah, they also outlawed murder. And stealing. And bribing officials. All universally unenforceable. Weird...

- mikestorrent 8mo agoWell, consider the case with murder: they're not demanding that people proactively implement a system to prevent it from happening, are they? You're just not allowed to do it, in the sense that the system will attempt to find you, prove your guilt, and punish you after the fact.
- themafia 8mo ago> they're not demanding that people proactively implement a system to prevent it from happening, are they? What do you think a "background check" is?
- bicx 8mo agoDefinitely not murder prevention
- themafia 8mo agoThat's absolutely what they are. That and other crimes. That's why they're mandatory, by law, in certain industries. That's _precisely_ why we started using them: to prevent the easily preventable. I suppose this logic stands in the way of a corporation getting what it wants and so it's automatically offensive to the HN "job seeking" crowd; however, even a basic reading of the history shows it's completely true.
- pegasus 8mo agoI imagine it would be the same for making (use of) models which don't add these watermarks, no? The punishable crime is providing or using the service.
- squigz 8mo agoThere are various systems meant to (attempt to) prevent it from happening, yes, from firearms laws to police forces But picking out murder and ignoring the other ones which are far more analogous to the regulations mentioned seems a bit disingenuous...
