They say they the images are merely matched to pre-determined images found on the web. You're talking about a different scenario where AI detects inappropriate contents in an image.

Yes, I agree it is dangerous. I just wanted to assess the actual threat (current and future) before jumping onto the wagon.

Most clients don't understand art or graphics to begin with, I guess. They just wanted someone good at Illustrator.

Article 10a, which contains the upload moderation plan, states that these technologies would be expected “to detect, prior to transmission, the dissemination of known child sexual abuse material or of new child sexual abuse material.”

This is what I guessed the other day when a post here didn't clarify what the censorship meant.

While I'm not a fan of this stupid regulation, it doesn't sound like being the armageddon that turns e2ee into ashes.

(Given that Signal doesn't like it, I might be wrong though.)

As long as we trust, say, Signal, it will possibly be able to do the scan without sending a good chunk of the image data that the user is sending. URLs can be hashed before sending it to the scanner.

The remaining piece for privacy is to use open source and to guarantee that the binaries are free of modification from the original. This problem always existed on the Apple ecosystem btw.

I think proton was never going to function as a profit-first business. Too many enshittified rival businesses. Kinda the natural outcome.

I think the quality definitely degraded, but that's exactly what capitalism wanted. It's going to darwin a big chunk of us through climate change that's accelerated by the electricity needs.

This is starting to resemble Putin's rhetoric against NATO since he invaded Ukraine

My point is, sacrifices can be made. Even professionals can do it.

You mean like, they risk losing their job, reducing their profits significantly during the training period, and then likely there are a few algorithms that don't exist in Krita, and most are slower with less optimization. If Adobe releases a new killer feature those professionals who transitioned to OSS are fucked, and also they sacrifice a significant of time on additional training for using Linux, replacing their professional NVIDIA GPUs, tweaks wayland, then they spend time on fixing boot problems, their printers don't work anymore, they have compatibility issues with everything Adobe and MS Office, lose business competitions just because their files can't be opened by Windows, etc. etc. I'll trust you Linux-is-easy people after you converted a few Windows / Apple / Adobe-dependent enterprise businesses.

Means nothing to Recall.

His testimony comes after Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the "security nightmare." Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security, ProPublica reported.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is now personally responsible for security flaws.

I say BS.

Maybe we'll all become AI training data and receive universal basic income.

Nah, if 2 are really working, just buy 998 and he'd have at least stuck to the number. Whether that improves something is the actual question.

I'd just drag the time seeker though...

Not precise. They can dynamically generate the video stream from the ad-free original.

I just hope they'll let non-profit app stores join. I just want an open source package manager tbh.

No, Japan just listened to the previous app market monopoly that was NTT Docomo and other providers who wanted their money pot back.

The funny thing is that this is probably lobbying from NTT Docomo, who lost their own app store monopoly for feature phones the moment smartphones arrived.

I don't think Apple is planning that. For now they're trying the approach to expose metadata like email headers to their AI, but that such data has been already accessible to the search functionality anyway.

It's very different from Recall, which dumps screen capture of webpages and passwords into a database file that's only protected by access rights.

Gone are my student days where I downloaded whichever cool vim plugins

I'm okay IF the ads were only from novels of my liking. Never gonna happen though...
