> not featuring the images of any identifiable real world minors Right... but the material Grok was producing was featuring real world minors. Again, you're trying really really hard to expand the definition of what we're tal

That doesn't really make sense. Consoles have always occupied a different space to PCs, not least because they plug into living room TVs. Very few people are going to trade that for a (considerably more expensive) PC. Gaming PCs also r

Think a little deeper. It is already possible for women to record these encounters and many do. It is widely known the police do nothing about it and the videos make no difference.

I suspect the OP is being somewhat sarcastic because it is widely known that the police will do absolutely nothing about a report of catcalling, video or not.

Agreed... the commit log looks very much AI generated to me. And the project was started on May 22 so it's just under two months old. Not that either of these things is disqualifying but AI really has make it difficult to know how esta

Ok, then let’s just say CSAM by definition of US law. Twice now you’ve tried to expand the parameters of this so that it becomes something impossible to tackle. But there’s no actual reason to do that. Grok is able to tackle CSAM, as demons

I didn’t say block all illegitimate uses, though. We’re talking very specifically about disabling the production of CSAM. Which is something Grok seems to be able to do now! So I’m curious what legitimate uses had to be sacrificed in order

Just as well Grok isn’t a shovel then, hey? If a shovel manufacturer was notified numerous times that their shovel was being used for murder and they had the capability to disable using the shovel for murder while retaining all legitimate u

In 2025 Vancouver had the lowest violent crime rate in 23 years. Not that there’s no crime of course but I don’t see that it really constitutes Vancouver being “fucked”.

In this case the police are not watching. Apple does a cursory review during the approval process but they are not proactively firing up your app to see if anything changed post-review.

It’s a one year moratorium. I don’t see a problem with this. A lot of voters are concerned about the impacts data centers will have, those concerns are not entirely unwarranted. We don’t actually have to be moving at breakneck speeds, the

It’s still a problem we wouldn’t have without LLMs like Mythos existing. Yes, the solutions are different when you know the full context but “it’s just bad code” doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem.

Nah. When the App Store started getting truly popular you couldn't even run an ad blocker on mobile Safari. That came many years later. IMO the reason we got to this place is twofold: - apps give companies a spot on your Home Screen an

That statement leans very hard on the word “like”. Do addicts “like” their addictive behaviors? In a way it doesn’t matter, they’re going to keep doing it anyway.

I'm not convinced by that. If Maemo was a natural fit then Microsoft surely was equally so, given they already had Windows Mobile. They also had a large army of developers familiar with Microsoft APIs and the financial backing a large

by afavour 3mo ago
I think the reason was a lack of thriving app ecosystem. Microsoft seemed like a much better bet in that regard, they just messed it up in incredible ways.
