Hey I’m just checking in with your account status. Definitely just that, not hoping you’ll but anything…
All emails companies send you are designed to get you to spend money.
It’s an ad.
Of course if that ad comes with a discount I might not be unhappy to get it. But if a(n) status message ad comes in reminding me of pizza and it’s on a day they want me to pay full price for dominos. Then I don’t want that message.
Either I’ll feel hungrier or poorer.
Do you genuinely believe that?
Hamas certainly deserves condemnation and are terrorists.
But IDF members are posting drone executions of unarmed children on social media themselves.
The IDF are just as complicit as Hamas in harm to civilians. The evidence is irrefutable.
Terrorist like Hamas attack and capture civilians, claim credit and post to social media. The IDF are doing the same thing.
If Hamas surrendered today I have no belief that the IDF will stop.
We’ve seen frequently that over decades the IDF have killed Palestinians protesting peacefully, killed press present at protests, killing medics.
Now they’re taking the opportunity to attack civilians in hospital, civilians queuing for aid, killing civilians with drones. Displacing and starving a whole population.
These are war crimes.
The individual soldiers are now criminals it doesn’t matter whether they follow orders or not. That precedent is already set at the Hague.
The question is, if they’ve been following orders, how far up the ranks in the IDF are the war criminals?
Assuming orders are being given and followed, what is the motivation for the orders?
It looks like the definition for genocide is being met. An organised force, starving a population and culture, displacing a population and culture, removing and displacing orphaned children from that country.
If you think Hamas are the cause of all of this I’ve got bad news for you. They’re only an excuse, the IDF has been waiting to do these things for a long time.
The only question is how high the intent to do this has actually come from.
iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.
And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.
MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.
I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.
It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.
It does matter. If for example it’s like the Americans transporting prisoners to be tortured landing here again it makes us complicit.
It means we have even more reason to hold our government to account any way we can.
So you’re saying if it’s easy to accidentally get copyright images out of this AI by prompting ordinary worlds. Then the AI designers have some questions to answer.
If your country is a signatory to the international copyright treaties with most of the Anglosphere (Like the EU, US, AUS, NZ). Then that is not correct.
You cannot draw anything.
It’s just never worth suing you over.
A crime so small it’s irrelevant is almost a legal act. But it’s not actually a legal act.
If you try to bread with an autonomous knife and the knife kills you by stabbing you in the head. Is it solely your fault?
I never said they were good. Just that products are filling that gap in the market.
AI owners would love to do that.
Copyright owners would not.
Hence the legal battles.
That’s why it’s a massive legal fight.
They’ll delay a ruling as long as possible.
They’re definitely developing a new model on vetted public domain data as we speak. They just need to delay legal action long enough to get that new model to launch.
This is the same thing YouTube did. Delay all copyright claims in court, blaming users, then put their copyright claim system in place that massively advantages IP owners.
It’s actually more difficult. Previously those wheels had no drive and no issues being fully independent.
Adding a motor to the wheel makes this more complicated than in the 20s but much more advantageous.
Who knows how the laws will change because of AI. But as the law currently stands it’s just a matter of proving it to a court. That’s the main barrier.
This is strong evidence an AI is breaking the law.
The liability of industrial machines is actually quite apt.
If you design a machine that kills someone during reasonable use. You are liable.
Aircraft engineers have a 25 year liability on their work. A mistake they might make could kill hundreds.
There is always a human responsible for the actions of a machine. Even unintended results have liability.
If you upload a program to a machine and someone dies as a result you’re in hot water.
Moving away from life and death, unintended copyright infringement by a machine hasn’t been tested. But it’s likely it will be ruled that at least some of the builders of that machine are responsible.
AI “self-driving” cars are getting away with it by only offering an assist to driving. Keeping the driver responsible. But that’s possible because you need a license to drive a car in the first place.
AI images like this are the equivalent of a fully self driving car. You set the destination, it drives you there. The liability falls on the process of driving, or the process of creating. The machine doing that means designers are then liable.
Soon. Oura rings exist so they could be an alternative.
Invis make straps without sensors but with NFC payments.
There’s clearly a market for rings as fitness trackers so people can avoid a watch altogether
Wanting a watch strap is a bit more niche but it’ll come around as a product I’m sure.
That was not my example. The murder machine was someone else.
It doesn’t matter whether AI is sentient or not. It has a designer, trainer, and owner.
Once you prove the actions taken by the AI, even as just a machine, breach copyright liability is easily assigned.
They absolutely do exist. I’d just have to install them.
Almost…
Is the internet scarier?
Or is it just millennials and “internet natives” having kids and more of them knowing better what the internet actually is.
I tell people to imagine a public place with everyone in it, the majority wearing masks or costumes. With constantly recording surveillance. Do you take off your mask.
Sure the mask is not perfect protection, and there are areas off to the side where people seem to not be wearing masks. But go ahead and choose a way to keep your kids safe.
