The UK government has backtracked on its position on copyright and AI, stating it must take time to "get this right".

Its original position - allowing AI companies to use copyrighted works to train their models with an opt-out option - received major backlash.

"We have listened," Technology Secretary Liz Kendall said on Wednesday, saying the government no longer favours that approach.

A few years ago I designed a way to detect bit-flips in Firefox crash reports and last year we deployed an actual memory tester that runs on user machines after the browser crashes. Today I was looking at the data that comes out of these tests and now I'm 100% positive that the heuristic is sound and a lot of the crashes we see are from users with bad memory or similarly flaky hardware.
