Is he banning them for disagreeing, or for people calling him a pedo over an autistic semantics discussion?
Mind you, I agree that when you hold controversial opinions about certain topics people are likely to discuss, you shouldn't be a mod. Then again, if you value your sanity and blood pressure, you shouldn't want to be a mod anyway - it's a thankless job.
Huh? The screenshot says they think generated pictures are not abusive. Not the it's not csam.
That's a very dangerous way of twisting someone's words, especially on a subject this emotionally charged.
Edit: ~~adding to add that contrary to the title here, they are not talking about Editing pictures to be nudes, but generating them. Don't get me wrong, I have no interest in seeing either, and the day they're paying themselves is not doing them any favours. But someone is clearly out for character assassination here.~~
Nevermind, it was about altering the photos of a 15 year old girl into nudes. And while it technically/physically may not be child abuse, for the victim it might as well be. That's indefensible - I'm out.
As someone who worked on a couple of video encoding / streaming services, this was an amazingly interesting read. Some personal highlights:
Because obviously when you train an LLM you include a large dataset of api keys for your new private service or the settings to generate them.
At the risk of committing whataboutism - the same can be said about Facebook, Google, etc. And I don't say that to marginalise the problem. Quite the contrary - I honestly feel it should be illegal to gather this level of personal detail about people.
That the focus right now is on tiktok is suspect, to say the least, but I guess the upside is that the problem is getting attention now.
"But I use Jetbrains..." :(
I liked it best when it told me I had a very creative proposed solution for a specific issue.
It was very creative because it turned out to be impossible.
Your goldfish lived for 20 years?!
Yeah, because that worked so well with tracking popups.
As The Times told BleepingComputer last week, the attackers used exposed credentials to hack into the newspaper's GitHub repos.
It explicitly says the credentials were leaked. If you're really going to insist the word "hack" implies something else, I'm afraid you're too far on the spectrum for me to continue this conversation. Cya!
For me it just gives an error post0 failed to load.
Edit: that's probably my lemmy client trying to approach this blog as though it were a lemmy instance 🤦♂️
At least this is opt-in, and Firefox still allows for manifest v3 extensions, and, on the whole, isn't using a engine funded by a billion dollar company that's doing everything in it's power to spy on you.
