Note that the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, no longer uses proof-of-work to validate its chain. So any regulations or data on electricity usage will be basically irrelevant to it.

It sounds scary, and that’s all that’s needed to get clicks.

Most cultures don’t immediately leap to “better kill everyone else in the train so I can take their stuff.”

We should split up to explore more efficiently!

Ohh, this small creature in the underbrush looks adorable! I’m going to pick it up.

Isekai harems are “all of the above.”

Probably quite quickly, if the train was traveling at any significant speed when all of a sudden it had no tracks under it.

Just in case people think this is a literal excerpt from the article (that was my first impression) the actual survey results were:

33% are very likely to trust 32% are somewhat likely to trust 21% are neutral 14% express some level of distrust

Or, you’re in a bubble and are surprised to discover that most people aren’t in it with you.

Do you really leave Windows with default-everything whenever you deploy a Windows machine?

Which has waaaaaay more features than Notepad does.

If only you were allowed to install your own text editor.

So turn those features off. I just checked, there’s a setting for both spellcheck and autocorrect.

If California passes major restrictions on AI training then I think AI guys would very much want to be anywhere else.

There are already plenty of places to go. Major centers of AI activity include the UK, France, Israel, China and Canada. Many of the top AI companies aren’t headquartered in California even if they’re US-based.

AI’s future in California hangs in the balance.

Again, it’s fundamentally the same thing. You’re just using different tools to perform the same action.

I remember back in the day when software patents were the big boogeyman of the Internet that everyone hated, and the phrase “…with a computer” was treated with great derision. People were taking out huge numbers of patents that were basically the same as things people had been doing since time immemorial but by adding the magical “…with a computer” suffix on it they were treating it like some completely new innovation.

Suddenly we’re on the other side of that?

Anyway, even if you do throw that distinction in you still end up outlawing huge swathes of things that we’ve depended on for years. Search engines as the most obvious example.

That’s the same thing. Whatever you want to call it, “copyright” or some other word, the end result is that you’re wanting to give people the right to control other people’s ability to analyze the things that they see on public display. And control what general concepts other people put into future works.

I really don’t see how going in that direction is going to lead to a better situation than we have now. Frankly it looks more like a path to a nightmarish corporate-controlled dystopia to me.

The breach happened a year ago, Claude 3.5 Sonnet wasn’t available then.

Setting aside the hypocrisy, there’s simply no “service” to DDoS here. There’s hardly even a tool. According to the article:

Hönig told Ars that breaking Glaze was “simple.” His team found that “low-effort and ‘off-the-shelf’ techniques”—such as image upscaling, “using a different finetuning script” when training AI on new data, or “adding Gaussian noise to the images before training”—“are sufficient to create robust mimicry methods that significantly degrade existing protections.”

So automatically running a couple of basic Photoshop tools on the image will do it.

I had to check the date on this article because I’m not sure why it’s suddenly news, these techniques for neutralizing Glaze have been mentioned since Glaze itself was first introduced. Maybe Hönig just formalized it?

That would “help” by basically introducing the concept of copyright to styles and ideas, which I think would likely have more devastating consequences to art than any AI could possibly inflict.

I’d say that Lemmy’s tankies are doing what they can to get Trump elected, regardless of where on the “spectrum” you might place them. Politics isn’t really a simple binary state.

What percentage of “Lemmy” that represents is anybody’s guess.
