Personally I give the benefit of the doubt to a post I suspect of being LLM if there isn’t an obvious harm (for example, the user shilling a product in the comments). There are still some benign reasons to use LLMs for posts like these.

I'm trying to understand how a judge would say that the only practical use of backups were copyright infringement, since that is completely contrary to both my experiences and what I believe to be common sense. If the answer to my confusion is that this actually was the major use case and my experiences were rare, then that's fine. Otherwise, I can't help believe this is yet another case in recent history where judges are completely backwards on technological understanding, or maybe even under influence from copyright holders.

I don't know anyone who sold television recordings, it was always for personal use. How could the lower court get this so wrong? Was this just one uninformed judge? Or was this actually less certain at the time?

This is an archive of an Archive.is archive of a blog post. The first sentence of the post says “ Jani Patokallio was a woman of exceptional intellect…” This was changed, it originally had someone else’s name (see second paragraph). So, who knows what other archived pages were changed?

Bloomberg's tech coverage is not great from what I've seen. Last year they published a video which was intended to investigate GPUs being smuggled into China, but they couldn't get access to a data center so they basically said we don't know if it's true or not. Meanwhile an independent Youtuber with a fraction of the resources actually met and filmed the smugglers and the middlemen brokering the sales between them and the data centers. Bloomberg responded by filing a DMCA takedown of that video.

I think ArchiveBox[1] is the most popular. I will give it a shot, but it's a shame they don't support URL rewriting[2], which would be annoying for me. I read a lot of blog and news articles that are split across multiple pages, and it would be nice if that article's "next page" link was a link to the next archived page instead of the original URL.

To assist with this, I have been reassigned to work on security related tasks. Things like tightening up our firewalls and drafting up security related company policies which up to this point we have never had.

In the last 3 months there has been a noticeable increase in demands for these restrictions to be lifted for AI purposes. I don't know why it's so sudden. Maybe because of OpenClaw and similar projects getting steam lately, or maybe because directors feel compelled to spend some of the AI budget they've gotten this year. All I know is, I am now getting requests every week about things like adding exceptions to our production database firewall so AI companies can query it. Things we have never done in the 5+ years I've worked here.

I'm starting to feel overwhelmed, like one person trying to stop a train. The entire C suite talks about AI almost every day, and I feel no one shares the same security concerns as me. As the person who is increasingly responsible for security, I feel I have suddenly been put in a difficult spot. I wish I didn't have to worry about this, so I could focus on other security issues I feel are more important. For instance, by default almost everyone is admin to everything, which I feel is important to address. But I don't feel I can fight all these battles at the same time.

I'm wondering if anyone else has run into something similar and what the ultimate decision was. Did you start opening up access, or did you keep it locked down?

Expert difficulty is also recognizing that articles from "serious" publications like The New York Times can also be misleading or outright incorrect, sometimes obviously so like with some Bloomberg content the last few years.

Are there specific parts of the article which are inaccurate or misleading? If so please say, it would be very interesting and add to the discussion.
