Most important part of the article, in my opinion: > It’s worth pointing out that the company that owns the foundation model used to make these headshots, Stable Diffusion, is being sued for stealing over 12 million copyrighted photos to

I'm not trying to move goalposts, I was simply looking for clarification. A couple points. First, wasn't there a huge issue where the data centers had money problems because the FBI (or some agency) was forcing them to retain all

Was he hosting illegal material, or simply creating a platform where such material could be held? If you post child porn on Facebook, I assume you would get sent to jail, not Mark Zuckerberg. It seems that Kim Dotcom is in a similar positio

I wonder if people have forgotten the legal grounds on which the US claimed jurisdiction. I may be misremembering, but I think it was because megaupload.com was registered as a .COM, and the .COM top level domain is owned by Verisign, an Am

I hope this gets resolved soon. Libgen has books you can't get anywhere else. I understand the desire to remove copyrighted works so people don't steal, but it also contains a lot of rare books, academic stuff, and so on.

I would be very interested to know what DefCon's budget for the badges is, and how much latitude was built in for things like chip shortages, rush shipping, etc. A big project like this, especially during major geopolitical strive, cou

Sounds like an American issue. In Germany (at least in Berlin), things still operate largely as they did 30 years ago. I wonder how much of this is the Bay Area automation cancer bleeding out into other areas in the US. I hope the market co

I can't wait for someone to find a problem with this new name, and throw the entire project into disarray for another few years.

So they are ending Chromecast, and also just launched the "Google TV Streamer" which seems to do the same thing, but "faster, more premium" whatever that means. Seems to be a reason to charge people more for the same thi

You left out the part about filing a lawsuit against them so their legal team would be forced to respond to you.

Is bribery a bad thing if there is no other recourse? That's the real issue here. If Big Tech companies cared, they would have some sort of customer support. They don't, and so the market is forming its own solution.

I badly need something like this because Big Tech sites are awful. I tried to submit a request, but it gave me an error about sendgrid credits. I guess the site is already a huge success.

Maybe the better way to say it, is that it's not a problem for them right now, and their shareholders do not care about what will happen in a few years. At least to me, it smells of very short term planning and thinking, which is ruini

If the solution is so obvious, why doesn't Google change their system and fix the problem?

Perhaps you could then ahem enlighten American lawmakers who passed FOSTA/SESTA in the US, which effectively criminalizes prostitution and has lead to many sex workers losing their livelihoods.

The messaging on this is not very well crafted. Google has fired people for protesting something called Project Nimbus. I read the tweet, the referenced tweet, and the Medium blog post that was supposed to give the information. I still do n

I watched the video. Maybe I am not understanding the visuals, but it looked like the narrator's conclusions do not actually match the data. He is trying to make an argument that poor kids need extra help or they will have a rough life

The reason we self hosted the videos is for fear of takedowns. Even though it was posted on April Fool's Day and they are obviously satire, some of the people targeted have very thin skin and are fond of lawsuits. Of course that was be
