Does someone have details on this? I don’t see how ebooks translation relates to arresting organized crime gang
- decremental 5mo ago[dead]
- varispeed 5mo agoPerhaps the AI hallucinated it.
- unethical_ban 5mo agoA few members of a private forum exchanging ebooks = organized, pirating ebooks = crime, boom. Organized crime gang. To the police, anyway.
- Retr0id 5mo agoI wonder if they mean literal e-books, or if "1 e-book" is a journalistic unit of data (maybe 1MB or so...)
- dgellow 5mo agoI’m wondering if the article was written by an AI and something was lost in translation (pun intended) somewhere in the process
- Jtarii 5mo agoI believe it means evidence stored as digital data that was translated with AI, which then led to arrests. I don't think the crime gang was translating e-books illegally.
- dgellow 5mo agoThey are saying the police translated ebooks using AI, so it’s definitely not the gang. Using ebooks to say digital data is really strange if that’s what they meant
- markdown 5mo agoApparently an attempt to make e-books the "football fields" and "olympic swimming pools" unit of the digital world.
