So the profit cap has been removed and the non-profit has been kicked out of the control seat. Sounds like they're taking off all the safeties in the name of money.
Goes to show the money always wins, and if AGI comes true, humanity will pay forfeit.
From a pro-privacy standpoint changing your passwords to something you can't remember is absolutely the right thing to do to prevent yourself from being compelled to give up any passwords...
But in light of him being a government official tampering with his government issued phone to "accidentally" prevent it being used to investigate official wrongdoing, that act becomes highly suspicious, and (in the FBI's shoes) would only give more incentive to hack into his phone.
My first instinct is to say "No shit Sherlock", of course people who get paid more for their projects can afford to contribute more time to them...
but I do understand that having empirical documented evidence of something, even of it should be common sense, is really important, cause common sense isn't as common as people think it is (especially when a lot of people in power seem to quite intentionally lack it)
Man that bird was living a straight up nightmare.
And from the comments I saw it gets worse for this bird - apparently after the bird flew off, the scientist who captured this call played it back to check they had recorded it properly, only for the bird to come back and start calling again.
These scientists accidentally played the cruelest prank imaginable on this poor bird, and it was likely not smart enough to ever realise it.
Like imagine living years of your life desperately calling out to someone, anyone, and you finally hear someone - you desperately rush over, but there's there's nobody there. You're sure you heard someone, but there's nothing, except you.
Aw, they look so cute together, like a cat looking after its kitten
Fox was not a name I expected to see on there given all they've done to supercharge the right-wing, but I suppose even Murdoch isn't crazy enough to actually think that it is a good idea to put Trump back in office
Image manipulation has always been a thing, and there are ways to counter it...
But we already know that a shocking amount of people will simply take what they see at face value, even if it does look suspicious. The volume of AI generated misinformation online is already too damn high, without it getting more new strings in it's bow.
Governments don't seem to be anywhere near on top of keeping up with these AI developments either, so by the time the law starts accounting for all of this, the damage will be long done already.
So the idea behind the ruling is that a lack of non-competes would cause irreparable harm to the companies themselves...
As opposed to the current system that causes harm to the workers, causing them to be unable work in their field of expertise for an arbitrary amount of time, in which they're expected to just find work in a different industry they're not trained in to feed their families.
If these monoliths work as well practically as they do here in a small-scale test, then we might actually have a chance at minimising the damage done by unregulated release of PFAS, which would be good for all of us.
Having said that, I do fear that the rise of these "fix it in post" environmental solutions will be used by big bads to justify the continuation of bad environmental practices because "ThE sCiEnTiStS wIlL jUsT cLeAn It Up AfTeR"
Yeah. If you're on a public forum accessible to anyone, which the whole fediverse is, then you should never assume privacy.
Honestly transparency in this regard would be better - they're already visible to much of the community, so they might as well be visible to everyone.
As someone who has worked with academics, the more specialised the person, the less common sense they seem to hold onto.
As such, if this was outside their PhD specialisation, then it'd absolutely make sense that this wouldn't occur to them.
