Yes, of course. I know some people want to build something and then hand it off, but personally I love to actually use and improve the tools I make. Even with my personal projects, I find myself going back to my old projects and adding stuf

Barring an apocalyptic scenario, Earth is never going to see populations dip back below 2 billion, and honestly probably never even below 5. It's not even declining now, it's just [growing YoY at 0.8% instead of 1.2%]( https:&#x2F

No, it's a well-known fact. Netanyahu has lobbied within Likud to support Hamas as a way to prevent the PA from making inroads in Gaza (which is seen by most in the West as the only way for a Palestinian state to occur, since Hamas is

That rhetoric about teacher (and medical worker) pay during the pandemic was, whether people realize it or not, nothing but a cynical attempt to encourage teachers not to quit, in order to save the parents' jobs. A lot of teachers (my

If you're assuming this is open-shut, you're wrong. I asked this specifically as someone who works in security. A court is going to have to decide where the line is between DRM and malware in adversarial-AI tools.

by ang_cire 3y ago
No, it's much closer to (in fact, it is simply) asking if adversarial AI tools count as DRM or as malware. And a court is going to have to decide whether the model and or its output counts as separate software, which it is illegal for
