Human history is unfortunately littered with individuals literally and figuratively dying to do stupid shit for attention, and I doubt any amount of regulatory intervention will ever fix that. Hell, not even radical genome editing is likely to fix it - I suspect it’s an emergent property of sentience.
Since AMP, yes. It’s hardly a recent development.
Ooh, that’s though sweetheart. If the owners of those servers want you to visit, they’ll just choose another WAF than CF’s.
All zero of them.
So long as we stick to serious business like industrial process optimization and stay away from LLM chatbots and AI waifus, that’s fine.
Oh, and no: You don’t get to install attack-surface widening software on everybody’s machines that scan local files for CSAM (exactly what are you sickos going to train that model on and where did you get it?) in addition to wasting everyone’s system resources and electricity on declaring innocent people for pedo’s due to the inevitable false positives. By all means use AI to actually increase productivity and product quality. Hell, use machine learning to optimize logistics, save energy and minimize waste.
But don’t attempt to use it as a means of invasive control and surveillance.
Well, yeah. It’s sometimes referred to as ‘tact’.
No, that’s a good point. We all bloody well know there isn’t a single provider of LLM’s that aren’t sucking the entire Internet dry while gleefully ignoring robots.txt and expecting everybody else to pay the bill on their behalf, but the AI providers are getting really good at using other people IPs both to mask their identity and to evade blacklists, which is yet another abusive behavior.
But that’s beside your point. So forget the class-action lawsuit in favor of the relevant Ombudsman.
Either way, this cannot go on. Donation-driven open source projects are being driven into the ground by exploding bandwidth and hosting costs, people are being forced to deploy tools like Anubis that eats additional resources - including the resources of every legitimate user. The cumulative damage this is doing is no joke.
If this isn’t fertile grounds for a massive class-action lawsuit, I don’t know what would be.
“On no! The Big Bad is too powerful, none of our spells are strong enough to inflict damage!”
“…You have elemental transformation spells, right?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“Give me a mage and five minutes, and I’ll have the entire province sterilized. And glowing in the dark.”
The recent relentless AI-ification is another pain-point. People are getting sick of having to constantly fend off slob pull requests.
“Your love-button is the swollen red one, right?”
Here’s hoping it isn’t a windy day. Or raining.
I’ve seen some beautiful visual metaphors in my time (including the original), but this immediately made my personal top-ten. Well done.
I usually hit the bottle, but I’m not about to criticize whatever works for you. If rubber duck debugging has been scientifically proven to work, I don’t see any valid argument against coding socks or smooth legs. Besides, those two things go together like insurance companies and arson or AI server farms and power supply cable cutting.
A match made in heaven, in other words.
Nobody said they replicated by authoring the replica from scratch, which seems to be what you’re assuming. A generative AI is ultimately a lump of code and a statistical model. Surely you’re not saying that it cannot copy files given file system access.
Because copying some files and starting new processes is all it really has to do to ‘self replicate’.
What a legend. Kudos!
Yeah, that sounds exactly like what everybody were looking for in an OS. /s
I’ve been very happy to be using Linux for the past decade and a half, but never more so than now.
I’m no lawyer, let alone a US lawyer, but can somebody explain how this isn’t a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which makes it a federal offense to intentionally access a “protected computer” without authorization or by exceeding authorized access?
That’s very sensible of you.
Wow, framing the debate much?
Really? Because it sounds to me like somebody just became a kidnapper, torturer and murderer for attention. Different person admittedly, but same old story.
