Depends what you mean. If you mean something that calls a model that you yourself host, then it's just a matter of making the call to the model which can be done in a million different ways. If instead you mean running that model o

I'd assume they'd use something akin to a perceptual hash. Btw, hashes aren't unique. I really do mean that an input doesn't have a unique output. If f(x)=y then there is some z such that f(z)=y. Remember, a hash is a &q

Are all programmers called engineers in these countries? You've made such a wild assumption that I'm convinced you're more interested in fighting then discussing

You're the one that brought up politics. You're right that they're hard to decouple from ethics as that's essentially how the parties form. But where I disagree with you, and extremely, is that we should not have our own
