If artists get a break from competing against plagiarized AI slop, that’s not petty vengeance.

- Comment on Australia Completely Loses The Plot, Plans To Ban Kids From Watching YouTube 1 week ago:
But unlike media literacy, bans give the government a pretext to demand ID from everyone using the internet, and thereby increase surveillance of the population.
- Comment on One Third of the Web Will Stop Working in 4 Days: Massive-Scale CDN Compromise Starts Wednesday 2 weeks ago:
If we know about these attacks, then the bad guys know too. Even if they weren’t given the details they’d be able to figure them out. Why then would they wait until Wednesday to start attacking?
Besides, the author of the research says that the vulnerabilities have been disclosed to the CDN providers and patched already. So the headline is doubly silly.

- Comment on Users claim Discord's age verification test can be tricked with game characters 3 weeks ago:
The 2019 video game also comes with a picture mode, which allows the player to change Sam’s facial expression, allowing the user to bypass a secondary check which requires a person to open and close their mouth to make sure they are a “real person.”
Surely someone will develop an app to create a face and animate it in just the ways these checks require. And then we’ll be into another arms race, but the kids will still have access to adult websites. This will just enable surveillance of anyone hapless enough to upload their actual ID.

Now I’m the first person to agree that X is a Nazi site run by a Nazi, but it’s conspicuous how the prompts have been removed here. Without the prompts this doesn’t prove much.

- Comment on Microsoft CEO Admits That AI Is Generating Basically No Value 1 month ago:
I don’t see where in the article he “admits” what the headline claims. Let me know when Satya Nadella stops talking 100% bullshit, because that will be real news.
