When a company ends support for the last version of a given #software product compatible with any subset of the supported #hardware, or ends support for a given software product altogether, or ends support for a software-controlled hardware product, the warranty #disclaimer, limitation of #liability, indemnity, and related #EULA terms should be deemed without force or effect regarding any future harms resulting from software defects unless the company releases all information and legal permissions necessary for arbitrary independent parties to patch those defects and distribute and install those patches.

Either release the complete and corresponding source code (including any keys necessary to install or run a compiled version) with a license to make and distribute fixes, or fix your up stuff forever, or face unlimited liability for the consequences of your refusal to fix or allow fixing.

@chatkipete merci Francis, mais arrête de me vouvoyer, je vais finir par croire que je suis plusieurs et déjà qu'il manque de la place là-haut 😉 et puis à 7 voix contre 5 nous avons déterminé que je ne suis pas schizophrène (sans parler des abstentions et des votes blancs 😂 ) #disclaimer : C'EST DE L'HUMOUR je ne dénigre pas du tout les personnes atteintes de ce mal qu'est la fissure de l'esprit, et je compatis sincèrement, merci 🤗

You stated: <<What it actually says is "AI is _permitted_ to make mistakes; _you are liable_ for the results, whether you check them or not". Except "you" is generally not even the person building, installing, or even using the AI. It's the person the AI is used on.>>

Way back in the early 2000s, there was a system called "Dragon Dictate". The goal was to eliminate #human #transcriptionists with automated speech-to-text (sound familiar?) The system had to be trained on your voice and vocabulary. Once properly trained it could do a pretty good job, I'll guess 95-98%. It was better suited to output that was stereotyped (mostly the same), and structured (such as radiology reports and operative notes).

Regardless of how the note/report was generated, the professional who spoke the words had a obligation to at least scan the output and sign it (yes, with an ink pen!). Once signed it became part of the "legal medical record" open to misinterpretation, copying, lawsuits, etc. etc.

Once Dragon Dictate became routine (and they fired all the transcriptionists) I started to notice this little #disclaimer at the bottom:

"If portions of this note are confusing or indecipherable please feel free to call me with questions or concerns." Sounds a lot like #AI to me! I polite way to summarize this is:

👉 They were trying to force me to be their copy-editor. 👈

It cast the entire content in doubt.

Consider for a moment the difference between saying "The scan does not show cancer." and "The scan does show cancer." That "not" is doing a lot of work, and is very easy to miss when you're talking fast and never intend to read your own note ever again.

More subtle is the grammatical error in the first sentence. "This note was #dictated using Dragon text to speech recognition software." Either they changed their product name to "Dragon Text", in which case the capitalization is off. Or they transposed words and it should read "speech to text" or "speech recognition" with no text.

👉 In other words, they didn't even proof-read their own disclaimer! 😱

If you're in need of a thread-safe, native #C++, implementation of #DBus I recommend DBus-ASIO. (As seen at #FOSDEM!)

Es ist wieder Mal Zeit #werbung für eine Broschüre aus dem Echter Verlag zu machen, ISBN 978-3-429-04483-1.
Ich bin selbst Besitzer einer Erstauflage #disclaimer , aber von der geradlinigen Kante der Aussage, der lupenreinen Dokumentation und den zeitlosen, präzisen Schlussfolgerungen des Werkes immer noch überzeugt.

I said #REAL #midterms. When I drop the report I ran, I'll do the audio first, anybody that still needs convincing should be convinced by this report and by #Google's almost 30 second #disclaimer near the beginning to wash their hands. Fucking chickens. At least I can get a report. Change OTW.

#Disclaimer: Trump is an idiot with dementia and this war is stupid, but too many of my fellow Americans were stupid enough to vote for him in 2024.

MY THOUGHTS:

Can't help but wonder what the Middle East would be like if Iran hadn't spent the last 45 years setting up its "final war with Israel" through proxies like #Hamas, #Hezbollah, and the #Houthis

People have all but forgotten that Iran poured millions of dollars every year into an anti-Semitic propaganda campaign that painted Israel and Jews as the bad guys while they pursued their own villainous agenda for reshaping the Middle East in their own image (they've partially succeeded in Iraq, which under Saddam was their No. 1 enemy).

And, yes, Netanyahu and some of his successors have done all they could to earn the Bad Guy label Iran painted them with.

In the 1960s and 1970s Israel was clearly the victim of vicious racial warfare by its neighbors. But one by one they made peace with Israel and acknowledged its right to exist.

The Islamic Revolution of 1979 changed the course of that progress.

Nonetheless, at the end of the day, the people of Israel didn't ask for this situation. SOME of them did, but most only want to live in peace with their neighbors.

I know I'm a voice in the wilderness, but I hope all the people directing all their hate at Israel eventually learn the truth and accept they've been played by a massive propaganda machine.

Yes - under Netanyahu (and other leaders) Israel has done bad things. But where would the Middle East be today if Iran hadn't been playing this long manipulative game for longer than many of Israel's haters have been alive?
