Corporations that don’t care about copyright law also don’t care about privacy or child safety, news at 11.

@deinol @arstechnica Copyright is for corporations, not people. Duh. Always has been.
@deinol @arstechnica wow who'd have thought that! Idk if I can even recover from the suprise
@arstechnica Silicon Valley is a nonce factory
@Lazarou @arstechnica Ahem: Bear in mind that "nonce" means something different—and innocent—to Americans?
@cstross @Lazarou @arstechnica both meanings would be true however 😝
@cstross @arstechnica oh they've learned it now, it's one of the up and coming swears on the American scene along with 'Wanker'
At least this island is capable of some exports still!
@cstross @Lazarou @arstechnica I know that it means pedophile in British English, but I still can't help but associate it with words like Dumb or Idiot
@Lazarou @arstechnica Silicon Valley = a sociopath, tech bros factory. There ARE exceptions. Where there are execs who are thoughtful and have a conscience. But it's rare.

@KellicTiger @arstechnica now is the time for that Bond villain to drop silicon valley into the sea.

@arstechnica If you aren't paying for the service YOU are the product. Simple as that. If doesn't matter if its Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Its all the same. Saving your stuff somewhere else.

@arstechnica ”Current AI models cannot forget data they were trained on, even if the data was later removed from the training data set," Han's report said.”

That is the dumbest and most misleading answer I’ve heard yet.

Yes. The old ones will still refer to them. But a new model trained without them in the training data won’t.

SO DONT TRAIN ANY NEW ONES ON UNSOLICITED KID’S PHOTOS YOU FREAKS
