@elliotjaystocks Cry about it. Then burn.
@GossiTheDog What is this? Other than gorgeous?
@schmutzie Yeah, although curious; didn't realize Canada had slightly-better privacy protections than the U.S., figured it was either all on-par with the EU or nothing like down here.
@schmutzie They've also got one under "Personalized Shopping", starting next year -

@hacks4pancakes didn't...wasn't it the NBA all-star game that abandoned Georgia over their Don't Say Gay Bill? If the NBA can move an entire three-day basketball tournament (iirc, at the last minute), all these other firms can get a different hotel.
Ah, THAT'S why the #NYMTA hosted a cybersecurity conference

A few days early maybe but it's time for the October Surprise! No it's not a candidate's secret love child or yet another attempt at subverting democracy, IT'S:

FYSA - Critical RCE Flaw in GNU-Linux Systems - Security Intelligence
A severe, unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) flaw has been discovered in GNU Linux systems. The vulnerability, rated CVSS 9.9, affects multiple Linux distributions and has the potential to be exploited by threat actors to gain unauthorized access to sensitive systems.
Also, while I was unfortunately unable to attend, I'm very disappointed #PennState has chosen "AI for Good" (and reportedly throwing it's weight behind 'creative' #AI alongside more acceptable analytical AI) as the inaugural subject of its first Global Impact Forum (#TGIF) Seems to be a bit contemptuous of the work the students in PS Law and the Stuckeman School are achieving.
Inaugural GSV x Penn State AI conference to be held Sept. 22-25 in Philadelphia | Penn State University
Education professionals, entrepreneurs and AI-industry experts are invited to attend the inaugural East Coast Global Silicon Valley (GSV) x Penn State event. The Global Impact Forum will be held Sept. 22-25 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.
I had an opportunity to chat with #AI proponents recently. The recurring theme from them every time it was brought up how generative AI is in flagrant violation of #copyright laws, is that technology has advanced beyond law, and 'that horse has left the barn'. That particular phrase was oft repeated, which, pardon my curtness, is abject bull.
OpenAI ADMITTED it must use copyrighted work to function, and does not obtain proper permission. Therefore, it confessed to being violation of copyright law.
A court order directing them to purge their improperly obtained items would be a VERY FAST way to put that horse 'back in the barn', so to speak...or more appropriately, the glue factory.
