Apple also said its anti-CSAM tool will not allow the company to see or scan a user’s photo album. It will only scan photos that are shared on iCloud.

The system will look for matches, securely on the device, based on a database of hashes of known CSAM images provided by child safety organisations.

Scanning yes, viewing no.

I remember hearing about that though. On first glance that shouldn’t be possible with what apple says they do. I feel like there was another detail I can’t recall that made more sense of it, but maybe not.

If you read the article, they don’t.

An ezpz 256 gigs without spending an extra $200 used to be orgasmic is all I can say

Need a face scan to use my fridge

I believe my line is “me three”?

Of course it’s not weird that “chat” is chat in French, but it’s also cat which is silly

I am utterly unsure whether my opinion is that this is a Stockholm/bootlick/appeasement type sentiment or not. Like not even trying to be oppositional because I actually sort of feel the same way.

… Why did I read it as panty (panni?) maker?

I blame panini for being an uncommon word

I didn’t realize internationals were involved in the flotillas and really thought the name drop made this the onion for sure

Yeah, I suppose the idea is that it’s always a test to see where the line is. And nobody wants it to go too far, so it ends up with everyone else letting things slide until they simply can’t anymore.

It just sucks that the bias seems to be toward letting things get worse, giving in and appeasing before change is truly made and ideals are actually enforced. It’s like it’s some natural, social song and dance that needs to play out first, and that’s just so much more messed up when it pertains to fascism and oppression.

It sure seems like Israel wants war with checks laundry list Everyone… I’m just confused how external pressures haven’t escalated the threat to full-blown WW3. Not that I want it to get there, but the only interpretation I can see is that Israel does.

Exactly. We’re already bootstrapping, re-tooling, and improving the entire process of development to the best of our collective ability. Constantly. All through good, old fashioned, classical system design.

Like you said, a lot of people don’t even put that to use, and they remain very effective. Yet a tiny speck of AI tech and its marketing is convincing people we’re about to either become gods or be usurped.

It’s like we took decades of technical knowledge and abstraction from our Computing Canon and said “What if we didn’t use that anymore?”

I’m honestly doubting it will get there someday, at least with the current use of LLMs. There just isn’t true comprehension in them, no space for consideration in any novel dimension. If it takes incredible resources for companies to achieve sometimes-kinda-not-dogshit, I think we might need a new paradigm.

Idk about the laws in Europe, but an accidental trust violation with that bullshit is actually hilarious. Big tech stepping on their own toes.

It’s the car culture I tell ya

I’d guess it’s to point out the fact that it’s developed under the guise of social liberty, but it isn’t a well defined term. Conservatives and neoliberals alike regard the views as liberal in America for some reason. In my mind the word helps distinguish it from liberal ideology by tacking on a modifier that can’t be equated to liberalism per se.

Neoliberalism fights for a semblance of democracy that favors economic, corporate freedom over personal liberties and the inherent human value we both care about.

You’re misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn’t call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

Do you think neoliberals would do that?

I’m actually sad that the state of AI deserves the hate it gets. Neural networks are so sick, just going through the example of detecting a diagonal on a 2x2 grid was like magic to me. And they made me second guess simulation theory for quite a while lmao

Tangentially, blockchain was a similar phenomenon for me. Or at least trust networks. One idea was to just throw away Certificate Authorities. Basically federate all the things, and this was before we knew about the fediverse. It gets all the hate because of crypto, but it’s cool tech. The CA thing would probably lead to a bad place too, though.
