The most obvious answer: to stop CSAM being shared on large platforms. Cloudflare has a tool that does it for some of their services.

Why is it currently illegal? If I have a service that let's users communicate, why is it illegal to look through those communications? (especially after they've signed my 400 page EULA). It would make moderation impossible otherwi

Perhaps the article is biased. The simple fact is that a law that existed since 2011 and expired in April is now back in effect. So we are back where we were on February. I don't remember moving from an anti-democratic hell scape to se

Who is they? These pithy remarks don't really extend the debate or have any nuance - they just sound conspiratorial. There are plenty of reasons to "scan" communications. There are plenty of reasons to have limits on communic

Isn't this something they already do? I would be utterly shocked if facebook et al. were not scanning all of your messages (either in transit or at terminus to get around 'E2E' claims).

An author has lived experiences, including other books they have read, to draw upon to tell a narrative they want to tell (either purely for expression, purely for profit, or more often than not somewhere between). A machine that chews up t

I think it's worse than that - the AI slop low effort cash cow is using deception (as well as theft). For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUSY6mtqQDI

I think people are missing the point. The point is not that AI produces slop (it does). The point is that I don't want to consume "art" that has been generated out the distillation of stealing all of the world's current

I'm a bit older than you, I can remember the late 90s and the early 2000s as a child: the future was so exciting. I now feel the same as you (despite being a bit older), the future looks depressing as hell. It seems to me that things a

Is LuaJIT still based on Lua5.1? I wonder why they haven't followed the language spec up to Lua5.5.

I think the EU should do it regardless of Russia. The EU should invest in its own technology and not depend so much on an increasingly undependable ally.

iPhones have pretty good privacy controls. I don’t see how they can’t extend those to cover AI apps. I imagine the settings menu will get bonkers though. User education about apps slurping up all your data is needed regardless. People just

Don’t install the app then. Consumer protection at some level means the consumer needs to be informed. I’d rather have a choice than just chow down on whatever the gatekeepers call food.

EU has some of the best consumer protection and privacy laws on the planet.

I find that the first paragraph tells a better narrative. I prefer it muchly. The second paragraph doesn't make sense and is saying more than the first. It feels both dumbed down and more confusing.

WSL2 is honestly the only thing keeping me sane having to work with a Windows 11 desktop environment at work. The new container capability also looks magical, and being able to access that directly from windows apps seems pretty cool too. N

Context matters. Did the UK start a war with Iran? Or did the UK decide to hit surrounding countries (France, Norway, Netherlands, etc.) to destabilise the region and target an Iranian airbase in Spain? I would assume there's a bunch o
