Okay now let’s ask it to write anti ransomware. My guess is it will help with that too. And then the balance is struck and the obvious becomes obvious: AI is a tool to enhance all aspects of our lives. But instead we seem to only hear about the ways we should be fearful and worried about it.

Pretty sure those Edge numbers are from using it under duress…
Do you think the number of people spoofing user agents are going to even dent those numbers?
Dude, I clicked on the link pretty excited to volunteer. I have a professional mic, a little time, and a decent voice. The first thing that greets me is “Voice datasets also underrepresent: non-English speakers, people of colour, disabled people, women and LGBTQIA+ people.”
Well, I’m none of those. So maybe they don’t want my donation, or I’d spend time and they wouldn’t use my recordings... Sort of a letdown.
Philosophical mustings?
Exactly. Some of the replies in this thread are so disingenuous.
Agreed. Physical ownership is the shelf of old DVD and CDROM PC and XBOX classic game boxes in my basement that take up space, collect dust, will never work again, and will only be a remembrance of nostalgia for a bygone day. Plus I’ll probably never seriously want to play them again… let’s be honest. I can watch a video of someone else playing, it scratches the same itch, and saves me the trouble.
I like digital ownership, but there needs to be protections so we can’t be screwed.
At least once a day I’m behind a human driver that does the phantom brake thing.
I used to accidentally find nudie mags in the woods with my friends. Why didn’t these guys do anything for me and my forest safety?
Sounds like lying humans that I know.
An artificial tree offers superior value, particularly from an economic perspective. Consider my experience: I've been using the same tree for about eight years, which I purchased at about $100 during an after-Christmas sale. In contrast, a real tree might cost around $30 to $40 and is only usable for a single season before disposal.
The pressure to choose a real tree seems to advocate for a less capitalistic approach, effectively encouraging higher expenditure for a product with significantly less utility. Another guilt trip asking for me to change my “evil” ways, rather than for the system to change. Instead, we should be promoting incentives for utilizing efficient manufacturing processes, such as those found in Chinese production, which align with both economic sensibility and sustainable usage.
What about the questions of reliability when it comes to evidence after so long? Most abuse evidence comes from testimony (memories worsen with time), physical (requiring near immediate collection), or forensic (degraded or contaminated over time). If there is digital evidence that stands the test of time it can be very good. But even it can be degraded or partly lost or incomplete.
Cases from a long time ago typically stand on testimony and expert witnesses interpreting behaviors and interviews. It is almost always colored by victim empowerment and the desire for justice and making an example of someone. You might think it makes a good deterrent to prevent abuse. But there is a high risk of false accusations, which even when wrong and proven wrong, completely destroy lives.
We need to concentrate on empowering people to come out immediately. That it is not “okay” for abuse to occur at any age.
