Let’s say I believe you. If that’s the case, why are AI companies still scraping everything?

As someone who makes and uses software, I feel it is not okay to steal source code. I wouldn’t feel okay with myself getting something for free when it’s based on the stolen work of tens of thousands of people
AI companies aren’t respecting crawler blocking. They’re actively working to ensure their crawlers bypass any anti-crawler protections
As a side note, these efforts help AI in the long-term. If we can poison LLMs, then you can guarantee a state actor can as well. AI needs to be able to weather training data attacks, otherwise they become an easily manipulated propaganda tool

News@lemmy.world•Dilbert creator Scott Adams dies aged 68 after prostate cancer diagnosis
34·11 hours agoHow about the fact he used his status as a conservative voice to skip the line and get priority experimental cancer treatments? Not only did he die, but somewhere out there there is another person dead or dying because they got bumped from the treatment

7·5 days agoUS surveillance is far more effective than North Korea or Russia’s domestic surveillance
Only China is in the same realm in terms of ability to surveil citizens. They’re just more open about using it for low-level offenses

9·5 days agoThe choice does exist, but it gets harder and harder to go without a phone
Many jobs expect us to be available at all hours. Younger generations cannot navigate without maps. Phones are also the primary way we record/observe ICE. They’re also our calendar/organizer, notebook, and many other things
Sure, we can have an independent GPS, camera, calendar, and notepad, but the barrier keeps getting higher
We need to develop counter measures, and long-term pass strong laws banning this level of government surveillance
This is fascism.
People are dying. People will continue to die. I’m saddened and scared by what is happening
Anyone who agrees with this should not post that opinion online in a way that can be tied back to them. It can be used to remove you as a juror

Always funny to me with these guys that they try really hard to sound smart, calling themselves things like the"Monadic Plenum Research Collective", using as many obtuse and archaic words as they can, only for a core axiom to be “Reality’s Data Plan”

3·7 days agoAnother nutjob that thinks they’ve figured out the universe because AI told them they were so very smart. At least the TempleOS guy did his own work. You’re just a lazy sloperator thinking AI work is your magnum opus
If you live in the US Empire, you can be a part of the movement to end it
That’s objectively bad messaging. ‘End the US Empire’ is so trivial to paint as purely anti-American. Not only will fail to win over more than a tiny fraction of people, but anyone part of it will be easily discredited
How would ‘end the US Empire’ ever be a popular idea in America? Even assuming it is a moral platform, it can only ever be a fringe idea in America

News@lemmy.world•Boys at her school shared AI-generated, nude images of her. She was the one expelled
51·22 days agoBecause money is the only thing we, as a country, truly care about. We’re only against things like CP and pedos as long as it doesn’t get in the way of making money. Same reason Trump sharing Larry Nassar and Jeffrey Epstein’s love of “young and nubile” women, as Epstein put it, didn’t kill his political career – he’s the pro-business candidate who makes the wealthy even wealthier

To be fair, ICE apparently prefers ramming cars to pulling them over
