I remember the early 90’s when fiber connection was being developed in research centers.

Researchers had found a way to transmit all of a country’s phone calls’ bandwidth through a simple fiber cable. Then, they wondered: what could we use this for?

This was a few years before the explosion of the internet…

What prevents you from revoking your payment mandate at your bank?

In Europe at least, your bank must honor this request and there’s nothing your debtor can do about except spending 1000’s to recover at most 3 months of payments with the current legal apparatus in Europe.

The product advertises its AI, the person who implemented the feature was hired as a data scientist, and the technical solution is called logistic regression.

I’m afraid forcing watermarking generated content is doomed to fail, for 2 reasons: first it has to be voluntary, second, watermarking can always be removed if one does not care about preserving the exact content.

Rather, I believe systematically signing original content may alleviate some of the issues created by algorithmic content generation.

Does this means we can invade truth social or reddit/conservative and they won’t be allowed to ban their contradictory?

As commonly said: the product advertises its new AI feature. The job posting of the person who implemented it was ‘data scientist’, and the technique used is called logistic regression.

Well, in this context, it’s more image comparison or some other simple technique not even relying on a training dataset.

At one of my clients, a large institution, they go further: you’re not allowed to use the local browser’s password manager. And still have to abide by the usual password rules: rotate every 3 months, complex passwords, etc.

As a result, users store a plain text file on their desktop (some go as far as printing it), that conveniently allows them to retrieve their passwords.

Too much security kills security.

Now the Satanists have to declare the Kama sutra and other erotica as sacred books to circumvent this ban.

Crypto is very useful in defective economies such as South America to compensate the flaws of a crumbling financial system. It’s also, sadly, useful for money laundering.

Fir these 2 uses, it should stay functional.

Indeed, we’ve had autonomous trains for 3 decades now, and without ‘AI’ to make things murky. Automation in airplanes and industry is also very advanced. The key to success is not in the software, but rather in overall system design.

I have been running my own mail server with similar requirements for 20 years now.

I empathize that getting flagged by major providers is the most worrisome part.

Yet, it’s not as bad as it was in the years 2012-2015 when SPF, dkim and dmarc strated becoming mandatory.

I maintain my outbound server against all odds, mostly because I think it’s very important that independent providers can still exist.

When the fine for littering and the cost of repair or recycling is higher than what you can recoup from this sort of lost property, it’s a win win for the police.
