I don't see the parallel between this offensive tool and DRM. I could, say buy a perpetual license to an image from the artist, so that I can print it and put it on my wall, while it can simultaneously be poisonous to an AI system. I can even steal it and print it, while it is still poisonous to an AI system.

The closest parallel I can think of is that humans can ingest chocolate but dogs should not.

What happens if I move to the EU and become a resident for a year, and move back? How do they know I am a resident versus tourist? Will they make me change my AppleID user and geo-lock it? Not a fan of these 'geo' based liberties and limitations

That sounds sort like an inefficient static site generator

I worry that archive.org or wayback will not have sufficient funding and will need to close, and the sheer impact of that is greater than most realize. I hope there is a decentralized archive project

Using generic text will end poorly. I predict a future where 99 of 100 requests result in Photoshop AI saying "I'm sorry, I can't do that". Google for silly trademarks. Facebook trademarked the word "Home". Star wars trademarked breathing under a mask.

> but the game ends when you try to use those images commercially.

Right now, it feels more like it's called "innovation" and "entrepreneurship" than the end-game, as long as you have billions invested. Waiting on the courts to decide this issue

If I were an embassy employee (covert or overt), I'd want zero iMessage features beyond ASCII and the thumbs-up/down reactions. No attachments, no GIFs, no games, no Apple Pay, no easter eggs, no rich text

Apple really needs a paranoid mode

Why would China not win this arms race?

> attacked by the far right

Can we stop labeling everyhing you disagree with or anyone who disagrees with your world view as "far right". By doing so, you are perpetuating a false dichotonmy when there is a diverse political spectrum. Also, leftists attack forums as well

Wasnt this suppose to end (the patents expire) in 2022/ 2023?

Worse than that, he left her for another woman over the situation (contrary to his progressive claims)

> but upon Dora becoming pregnant with another man’s child, the marriage seemed to fall prey to its own progressiveness.[10] The weir of liberal thinking gave way to intense jealousy and bitter resentment, resulting in Russell’s writing of boastful letters describing his youthful conquests across the Atlantic, and his eventual leaving of Dora for their children’s governess, Patricia.[11] He abandoned the campaigns he and Dora had together founded (including their beloved boarding school) and threw himself into the next chapter of his life with bags haphazardly packed.

You can, but you can't get environmental damages corrected, liabilities and damages covered (if say, they caused a fire or disaster in a community), or debts re-paid (if greater than the value of the property). Lots of issues with this. Chinese firms have bought a significant amount of US infrastructure, so it's also a national security issue.

>"Everywhere I read treats them as a security boundary"

The people writing those articles are wrong. Containers are insufficient for untrusted code. containers should not be treated as a security boundary. A virtual machine or something similar (Firecracker) can be treated as a security boundary, but not a container.

Never herd of a Potemkin village, had to look it up Thank you for the metaphor

Wasn't expecting to find something amazing from this blog post, but this project looks amazing! and has a few big partners behind it so I hope it does not vaporware https://onionshare.org/

That's great Looking forward to reading the blog. Do you plan to publish any open source libraries for it?

That's not science, that's making assertions and yelling 'fallacy!' at other people

Reminds me of macaroons. Has anyone done a comparison?

Ok, so some are empty? I'm not comparing the systems, Im saying building a perfect road-to-building ratio utopia isn't going to matter if people don't move there

China has tried building a dozen thoughtful cities from the ground up. They're empty ghost towns

And now a nation state hacker can use the same database to identify U.S. citizen descendants (to what generation?). Good luck with "illegals" style espionage

I stopped reading after this

> Roughly 68 percent of the universe is dark energy and 27 percent is dark matter.

Dark matter is hypothetical and dark energy is assumed but some studies purport it's standing as questionable. The more popsci I read the less I want to read

It's still a conflict of interest. One that they should avoid. Microsoft COULD appoint someone who they like and shares their values, that is not a MSFT employee. That would be a preferred approach but one that I doubt a megacorp would take

This is where OpenAI/MSFT loses. Chaos in OpenAI/MSFT will lead to Anthropic overtaking them. They've already been ahead in many areas, dead locked in others, but with OpenAI facing a crisis, they'll likely gain significant headway if they execute well .. at least for the risk-adverse enterprise use-cases. I still am not a fan of either due to restrictions and 'safety' training wheels that treat me like a child

Of course he does, that would benefit him and MSFT shareholders, not OpenAI's mission or charter

Do you know where that's documented? All reporting seems to indicate otherwise and all the digging i did confirmed he was CEO of the non-profit too. For example: https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/17/sam-altman-is-out-as-opena...

Leadership without talented employees can break a company. That's why they are paid so...

Using your celebrity status as CEO of a non-profit to raise money for multiple related for-profits does seem like you may be more dedicated to personal financial motivations than that of the non-profit's mission and charter.

No indication this was the trigger event, but reasonable that the board took notice of all these things. Even viewing this in the best possible, most innocent light, it still looks bad and Sam should have known better.

What adversity and setbacks did Sam personally overcome?
