“Look, we’d like for you to come in for a private meeting alone in a room with a bunch of old white men in power. There’s no way you’d be averse to something like that, right?”

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.

Well, that settles it. I guess Intel really is doomed.

“Gasoline is special Russian blend, da? Should take road-trip. See all of Canada.”

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.

1. Make it the centerpiece of a new communal pissoir.
2. Charge for admittance.
3. Donate the money to Ukraine.

If this isn’t fertile grounds for a massive class-action lawsuit, I don’t know what would be.

Okay, it’s high time for some serious regulatory intervention.

A mid-size nuclear powerplant is required to drive the searchlight that’d enable this level of projection.

Here’s hoping it isn’t a windy day. Or raining.

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 know I’ve mentioned how I hate this timeline, but it bears repeating.

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 sounds painful.

I’m sure whatever the AF are intending to ‘test’ will work just fine on the few CTs that might still be operational six months hence, prior testing or not. We’re talking about a car that can be stopped in its tracks by light snowfall or being left outside in mild rain. I’m no expert, but somehow I don’t think a quick burst of 30 mm PGU-14/B armor-piercing incendiary rounds or a Hellfire missile will experience any issues.

‘it is likely the type of vehicles used by the enemy may transition to Tesla Cyber trucks’

Please explain your reasoning in great detail and at length. Go on. We’ll wait.

Haha, yeah. But seriously.
