So you are disavowing the concept of intellectual property?

You make a great argument for expanding the definition of copyright to include protection from use in AI training.

Moving the goalposts already, eh? We were discussing the hypocrisy of big tech cannibalizing copyrighted works for their AI products, and then getting mad that people are using the tools to do the same to their IP. Let’s not try to shift the argument to the general morality of AI use.

As long as people keep electing fascist billionaires to loot the country, the fight continues

Well unfortunately your steak dinner in this analogy is a human steak. That someone else was stabbed for to be served up to you. You don’t have a problem eating it, but you don't think you should be on the menu.

I'm also sure 47 would be unhappy that they are using AI at the top of the page, going against his latest royal decrees.

Three black people in a year across the literal entire planet’s population and you are convinced it’s a racist conspiracy?

Automated scripts that target everything they can. Isn’t that one of the core lessons to take away from the last year? As hacking becomes commoditized and the cost per attack shrinks, it becomes more profitable to cast a wide net, and everyone will become a target.

Accidentally indeed. Im sure it’s tough to do anything intentionally when you are sieving through the slop heaps.

Indeed. This mass surveillance should have been stopped long ago.

The extreme discomfort of eye tracking based interactions for power users is what kept it off of my head. You have to maintain eye contact with the ui element you want to touch throughout the entire gesture. It’s kind of miserable for someone who is fluent with computers.

Republicans don't even try to put on an appearance of lawfulness anymore. Their supporters revel in the criminality. They worship it.

I feel like the level of discourse on HN has fallen to that of reddit recently. I used to expect more of people on this website. When the rebuttal to home nuclear energy generation being an obviously horribly bad idea is “oh well we have cars too and those are dangerous. Guess we just live in baby world. Little baby world where little baby’s aren’t allowed to own their own nuclear reactors”, it’s just like man. What are you even doing here haha.

Except most people don’t have industrial levels of arsenic, LSD, or other highly toxic substances stockpiled in their homes. Nor do they have a way to obtain it without triggering a visit from a swat team. Which is exactly what this comment chain is discussing. The potential for harm when you don’t have to go anywhere but your own basement/a few neighbors to obtain enough enriched uranium to create a superfund site.
