People keep getting caught because they are getting too close. For ~$500 you can buy a tattoo/hair removal laser from China with enough power to blow the camera sensor to hell from a few hundred feet.

It's the central plot point of the entire series. If that's not "exploring the concept", you're going to have to explain why.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't this just a low-quality camera sensor attached to a gimmicky transparent LCD? This is an interesting novelty, but as others have mentioned already, the function of the viewfinder doesn't ma

Believe it or not, you are legally bound to act in the interests of shareholders. Though you cannot be pardoned from civil stuff, and the options to actually prosecute are pretty slim, so I doubt it. Though, even if this is just tongue-in-c

Sounds like someone took huge risks, incurred huge losses, and thought they were entitled to always win. It honestly feels good seeing these folks get knocked down a peg.

I feel like the people who did this are simultaneously smart and stupid. Like, this is a really interesting idea, but the methodology here is wild. Why do they consider such a short list of things to be "all the tools of a real busines

Most of the people getting busted for AI-generated CSAM aren't just prompting an AI to generate inappropriate images. They are running pictures of real kids through nudifying apps. Nonconsensual pornography is nonconsensual pornography

Well, AI and Copyright are both related things that people created, so it's certainly relevant. I don't think the person you're responding to misspoke.
46.
by RIMR 2mo ago
Yes, that is what the person you are responding to is saying. That's why they are questioning the assumption that this practice extends to 18th-century books that are solidly in the public domain. If it is happening, it is an outrage.

I feel outraged, but I also worry this article isn't necessarily responding to what's actually happening. It's a weird practice to destroy a book when you digitize it, but it's at least an understandable legal strategy t

This is an extremely important point to understand. At face value, it can feel like CSAM should be protected speech, however repulsive. There are no laws against gore videos, though one might argue that death is worse than SA. However, we h

This is an argument I find myself making depressingly frequently to people I thought knew better...

For reasons already outlined, I have doubts about their math. Targeting $250/kg payload costs is ambitious for a rocket that has not yet successfully reached orbit or proven cost-effective. Even if we do somehow succeed at affordably d

Let's just put it this way: The ISS produces about 120 kilowatts of electricity. An Nvidia Blackwell B200 GPU uses 1.2 kilowatts of electricity. So, you would need a similar array of solar panels and radiators just to power 100 of them

Oh please, what is with all of these pristine "engineer" workspaces? Every high-powered engineer I know lives in a pile of wires, boards, and monitors that evolves like a living organism.

Oh, that's the really fun part. The unprecedented catastrophic event is already happening. Several of them, in fact. By the time we notice, it'll be too late.

I don't care that the results are technologically impressive, the automation of creativity is dystopian. As I watched these videos and tried to compare what different AIs can do with similar budgets, is struck me to how utterly soulles

The point is that, at least presently, an algorithm lacks the creativity to meaningfully stimulate an intellectual person, and whatever excuse you give for the decisions that algorithm makes, you should never expect a human being to be more

The LLM critics are right, and that's why I try not to use AI in the ways critics point out are bad. I use AI to code tools for myself, but I don't pretend anything I make is production quality. Duct tape engineering has always be

What do you mean by this? The person you responded to never used the words "should" or "should not", and then you basically repeated what they said using more neutral words... What is so controversial about saying that S

This whole article just boils down to the argument "If badly-behaved adults are allowed to have cameras, why shouldn't well-behaved children have access to for-profit social media platforms designed to addict them and feed them mi
