If the bulk of those 3 million pages are truly duplicates of existing pages or unrelated to Epstein, why not release them? Why not get that doubt out of the air?

Considering the fact that Trump's DOJ were practically forced by congress just to release the redacted mess that they did, I sincerely doubt that their refusal to release the remaining 3 million pages is in good faith.

There's almost certainly damning evidence in those remaining files, but the chances of us getting to see that are slim to none - as it'd all be redacted anyways.

It would've been easier for them to just spill ink all over the files and call it a day.

Such blazen plagiarism and profiteering from "fans" of John Koenig's work is abhorrent.

Of course this kind of thing existed before GenAI, but the problem is how easy its become to plaigiarise the work of actual creators by just prompting an AI to do it for you.

Exactly this. These folks can't see past their faces, so they never empathise with an issue until it knocks at their door.

Then suddenly they want an exemption because their issue is legitimate, unlike all the others before them who were so surely undeserving of help, unlike them

Its very rare to see any of these folks come out the other side realising that they weren't just an exception to the rule, and that those "undeserving" were treated unfairly just like them.

I'd argue trying to avoid yet another subscription by paying upfront was an honest and good faith strategy. The problem was assuming Microsoft also acts in good faith, and wouldn't just take the money and run like they have just 7 years in.

Honestly for things like this, I would struggle to be convinced that these folks aren't entirely within their right to take back what they already bought in good faith by pirating it.

After all, perpetual means you bought a license to use that program for life, regardless of whether Microsoft wants to uphold that or not.

Did you mean "we didn't"?

I'd say you got me on that one, but my hone's internet connection was so shite I basically didn't have it until the 2000s.

Besides you guys had ARPAnet, I'm sure you could make do with that haha

Of all the things to target, did they really have to go for the IA - the organisation that literally got into trouble with the man for helping children get access to books during the pandemic.

Does this hacker kick puppies and steal sweets from babies too?

Genuinely fuck Musk. Cries he's being called a Nazi while doing everything in his power to act like one.

Nobody does a Nazi salute by accident Elon... And especially not with a face looking like he just bust a nut while doing it.

So Funko issued a non-apology blaming Brandshield.

Brandshield issued a non-apology blaming the registrar (Iwantmyname), and saying their AI tool definitely had nothing to do with it

And Iwantmyname hasn't even put out a statement.

Fucked all around, yet it seems nobody will be facing consequence for this except Itch.io who got their website nuked out of nowhere.

Though if I were Itch, I'd get a new registrar ASAP.

It's funny watching basically every news outlet scrambling to try to and explain why Luigi has so much approval online, when the answer's rather simple:

US Health Insurers go out of their way to fuck over people in their time of need (the old Delay, Deny, Defend), and the executives get rich off of doing this - so the people hate them, and are more than willing to spit on their grave.

So HR left us with just two choices, assured us they were the best of the best, and of course it's two geriatrics.

... one of whom is a rehire that tried to lynch us when we laid him off the first time. Good job HR, you wonder why people hate you.

Who knew all you needed to make yourself above the law was appoint your own judges... The level of corruption going on in front of our eyes is astounding, they're barely even trying to hide it at this point.

A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate "independent, new, and substantive statements" by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites. And only Google can check those statements, the court said, "at least by comparing the underlying third-party websites with its own statements based on them."

Honestly this is all the reasoning you need to infer that Google should be liable. Google alone has editorial control over the summary their AI generates, not the outside sources used to generate these statements, ergo Google should be held liable for that.

At the hearing, Google argued that users could check the linked sources themselves to verify whether the AI summary was correct. Users generally knew "that information generated with AI should not be blindly trusted," the company claimed.

... And you know that's true when the best Google could muster as a defence is to say that people shouldn't be blindly trusting the AI, which ironically means even Google thinks their AI is full of shit.

But unfortunately for Google, not only does the court not buy that defence, but it would appear that's contrary to how most people use the feature.

The ruling may also have international reach, according to the court.

I seriously hope so. Its about time companies started taking proper liability for the actions of their LLMs.

Its forgivable that a 20 year old might accidentally end up in this situation, not having realised that she was only 14 until she said so...

But you know what a normal person does when they realise they just accidentally had sex with someone underage?

They take them back home to their family and apologise profusely. They don't have sex with them a second time round! That truly is some child predator behaviour right there.

For fuck's sake, it's not meant to make money, it's a public service - it's literally in the name!

I wish more countries governments would get their head out of their capitalistic arses and understand that the services they run aren't meant to be profitable - that's what taxes are meant to be for!

The idea of AI automated job interviews sickens me. How little of a fuck do you have to give about applicants that you can't even be bothered to have even a single person interview them??
