I'll be more specific about what I suspect the actual intentions are behind the online safety bill. A few months back the UK charged five retired police officers with hate crimes because they had a private WhatsApp group in which the p

If you're technical this stuff is super easy to get around if you care enough. Realistically this will only be enforceable if the application has enough users and there's a company that owns the application which can be sued. The

I saw this yesterday and was thinking a little about this last night. In traditional software you write explicit behavioural rules and then expect those rules to be followed exactly as intended. Where those rules are circumvented we call it

I worked at a place that used GitHub Actions quite recently. I thought it was quite neat and we never had a problem with it, although our CI was fairly simple. I always thought GitHub Actions was intended as simple CI solution for small Git

"Free speech absolutists" are always unpopular because they tend to be the only ones supporting the rights of detestable individuals. That's probably why you notice them and it's probably why you're seemingly critic

I'll add that a guy got sentenced to prison in Switzerland last week for calling someone a fat lesbian in a video that he posted two years ago. What is considered hate speech is very broad these days – Nazism would actually be on the m

A super intelligence wouldn't be resource constrained. The most unrealistic thing about "I have no mouth, and I must scream" is that a god-like AI which hated humanity wouldn't find a way to torture more humans. Plus, yo

Firstly, I want to say I agree with you. If what you're saying is correct, it seems insane to me they'd allow that given I don't believe nudity is even allowed on Facebook? However, I'm not sure this is actually what the

This is basically what I suggested we do a few years ago if Apple added client-side content scanners. Seems all need to here is obtain a finger print of a CSAM image then you can reverse engineer a non CSAM image to match that finger print.
