Louvre Thieves Given Immunity After Confirming Jewels Stolen For Purpose Of Training AI Software 🇬🇧

"When we realised these jewels were only stolen to inflate the share price of a company whose entire value relies on the wholesale theft of other people’s art, we had no choice but grant these scamps immunity,” confirmed French prosecutor Alain Barbier."

Pour les non anglophones 🇫🇷:

Les voleurs du Louvre bénéficient de l'immunité après avoir confirmé que les bijoux avaient été volés dans le but d'entraîner un logiciel d'intelligence artificielle

"Lorsque nous avons réalisé que ces bijoux n'avaient été volés que pour gonfler le cours de l'action d'une société dont toute la valeur repose sur le vol en gros des œuvres d'art d'autrui, nous n'avons eu d'autre choix que d'accorder l'immunité à ces escrocs", a confirmé le procureur français Alain Barbier.

@Natasha_Jay this is fair. I mean forcing AI companies to actually own the jewellery they use to train AI would, as Nick Clegg said, destroy the AI industry overnight.

@RobinFriend @Natasha_Jay The whole site is satire, like the onion. I do wish that was more clear in the top-level post or the article, but if you check the "disclaimer" page for that website, it makes it clear it is satire.

@BoydStephenSmithJr @RobinFriend @Natasha_Jay Usually legit reporters don't say they're going to use the money to piss people off in their blurbs asking for subscriptions and whatnot. That's about the only clue you get on the article page.

That and...it's not just dripping, that's a torrent.

1. Poe's Law
b. None of that is in the top-level post; (EDITED) even tho it does have an excerpt.

I didn't actually read most of the article since on my phone it was covered up with 2+ modern pop-ups, and I was really just looking to confirm it was satire. (Which, at least on my phone, wasn't explicitly disclosed on the page I was presented when following the link.)

There's a thin line between satire and reality these days, and sometimes I have no idea where it is.

@Natasha_Jay This satire reminds me, how many AI bros draw the line of real™️ theft at physical items. Their enlightened futurist brains can't grasp the concept of abuse enacted from the digital realm. Digital theft is just too abstract and sci-fi for them. They don't get it until a real item is stolen. :>
