My opinions are my own
@grammasaurus @ErikvanStraten @SteveRudolfi sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Damage to a company's reputation, and revenue, via misrepresentation and interference.
@whitequark so "f+" is "I'm preparing", "f-" is I'm not preparing"... Where're the options for "prepare a serving for me" and "do not prepare a serving for me", and even "prepare a double serving for me"?
@algernon
To hate on AI because of LLMs, is like hating on computers because of Macbooks.

@algernon Sorry, I'm going to point out a small flaw in your comparison.

If you're second sentence started "I hate fascism and *politics* in general.."; Then sure, much closer to being "the same".

AI can encompass any system which makes a decision. A decision tree, a type of "Expert System", is a form of AI; but these are usually constructed by hand (not massive amounts of training data).

See, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10557956

artificial intelligence and expert systems

I started building my expert system from generating decision tree like this: decision tree: http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/6125718100_1336340563.png I used PC-Shell to build expert system, main code

@whitequark Sounds like an updated alternative to the Nandland Go board (https://nandland.com/the-go-board/)

@lina what's the date on that message?

Because the latest lore.kernel.org messages (2nd December) where you are CC'd have a "signed-off-by" line against your name. And it looks like the content was originally written by you in October?

@eff is it possible for digital ID of any kind to still respect privacy?

By that I mean, the current version is "virtual". Could it be done as a physical card; like a cross between a UK driver's license card, and a chip-and-pin bank card?

In particular using, for example, public key cryptography to sign details on the card.
This has a few benefits, including trust that the ID is genuine, and being able to exclude the government from auth checks (because sig validity can be done locally).

@revk this reminds me of a story I heard regarding early(?) GeoIp stuff in America.
Turns out if only the country could be identified, it put the location in the middle of the country. Which unfortunately coincided with an actual property.
Cue numerous raids on an unsuspecting individual.
@EndlessMason @david_chisnall is this one good enough?

@jim the language used is not as all powerful ("just hand over your device") as you've made it out to be.

It requires:
1) the device to have been lawfully seized
2) the extracted information needs to be relevant to the line of enquiry
3) the information could not reasonably be obtained by other means

There's clearly some protection there, whether it's enough, I couldn't say. Should we still be concerned? Probably.
