If the other party has read access you can't prevent them from reproducing/sharing it. You can make it cumbersome, but not impossible.

I was thinking of using AI generated voice to play out some dialog, but adversarial audio could also be interesting - ie some in-audible sound for humans but that gets transcribed by the AI note taker

Each time I'm in a meeting with an AI note taker I am very tempted to prank the AI / person sending the AI. Maybe I should create a AI meeting mayhem bot that plays out some ridiculous scenario for the note taking AI to transcribe

I don't want to advocate for the Google Play store, but doesn't seem like legitimate technical / privacy reasons. I know it's possible to do push notifications without user accounts - I'm doing that in an app I main

I assume they will "protect original content online" by blocking LLM clients from ingesting data as context? I'm not optimistic that you can effectively block your original content from ending up in training sets by simply bl

I'd like a digital reset - like starting a new play-through in a game. I don't know how exactly? Buy a new PC, maybe I should jump platforms, a new email address, no past bookmarks, some deliberate avoidance of things I know by me

I have a friend that always says "innovation happens at the speed of trust". Ever since GPT3, that quote comes to mind over and over. Verification has a high cost and trust is the main way to lower that cost. I don't see how

I agree! For a bunch of services I manage I build the image locally, save it and then use ansible to upload the archive and restore the image. This usually takes a lot longer than I want it to!

It's fun to see how old that article is and that the ideas still apply! Power dynamics are not considered enough when people talk about education. My believe is that the more you balance the power dynamic, the more learning is prioriti

I'm 100% for writing a diary, journal, lab notes, personal knowledge base, etc without ever publishing it. I think it's a great thing to do. But I think publishing your writing requires you to consider an audience and be clear abo
