That's OPs summary, but thumbing through the speakers it looks like it has more of an ethical AI angle if anything
I assume that's counted under usage?
Is this actually a widespread thing? I'd never heard of it (sorry if this doesn'tfit the sub)
"Why dont yiu talk me through what you've done so far'
@mods I went with "spam or abuse", is that the appropriate label?
What are you searching for? I can't remember the last time I googled something and most the results were malicious.
Also, I don't think it'll be easier to spot bullshit coming from an LLM then a website.
Not necessarily a bad idea, but most the spam I've seen is from new accounts on larger instances, so I'm not sure it'll help with this.
But that really says more about the user then the tech. This issue here isn't that the tech has too many errors, it's that stores use it and it alone to ban people despite it having a low but well known error rate.
Haha same. I didn't believe it and found the article

What is it? Just signal's webapge? I'm a coward.
Do we have a rule against just straight-up ads? If not, should we make one maybe?
To be social, 3 people, maybe 5 is all you'd need
That's called a group chat
Any community recommendations?
I'm doing vegetarian week (and could definitely use recipes if anyone can help!)
If you like scifi, you might like Ursula K LeGuin, or the Robot and Monk books.
I mean if you're trying to learn to be a competent handyman or build a bookcase maybe yeah, but I just need a screwdriver set for like 30 minutes to put something together.
He'll be clocking a lot of overtime this month.
No, Gen z covers people as young as 11 or 12, which is a good guess for "kids on Instagram"
Phone-unlocking case law is "total mess," may be ripe for Supreme Court review.

Phone-unlocking case law is "total mess," may be ripe for Supreme Court review.

> Criminal suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police under the US Constitution's Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, according to a unanimous ruling issued today by Utah's state Supreme Court. The questions addressed in the ruling could eventually be taken up by the US Supreme Court, whether through review of this case or a similar one.
> The state argued "that, even if providing a passcode could be considered testimonial, the only meaningful information it would have conveyed here was that Valdez knew the passcode to the phone," the court said. Because police already knew the phone belonged to Valdez and that he would know his own passcode, the state contended that "this information would not convey anything new to law enforcement" and that it thus "triggers the foregone conclusion exception."
> There is a difference between communicating a passcode to police and physically providing an unlocked phone to police, the court said. Though these two acts "may be functionally equivalent in many respects, this functional equivalency is not dispositive under current Fifth Amendment jurisprudence," the court said. "We conclude that the act-of-production analytical framework makes sense only where law enforcement compels someone to perform an act to unlock an electronic device."
The data transfer is a massive failure by Verizon, which fell for a low quality scam that may have put someone’s physical safety in danger.

>The FBI investigated a man who allegedly posed as a police officer in emails and phone calls to trick Verizon to hand over phone data belonging to a specific person
>Despite the relatively unconvincing cover story concocted by the suspect ... Verizon handed over the victim’s data to the alleged stalker, including their address and phone logs. The stalker then went on to threaten the victim and ended up driving to where he believed the victim lived while armed with a knife
>Version Security Assistance Team–Court Order Compliance Team (or VSAT CCT) received an email from steven1966c@proton.me.“Here is the pdf file for search warrant,” Glauner, allegedly pretending to be a police detective, wrote in the email. “We are in need if the this [sic] cell phone data as soon as possible to locate and apprehend this suspect. We also need the full name of this Verizon subscriber and the new phone number that has been assigned to her. Thank you.”
>Verizon is not the only telecom that has failed to properly verify requests like this. In a somewhat similar case, I spoke to a victim who was stalked after someone posing as a U.S. Marshal tricked T-Mobile into handing over her phone’s location data.
The class-action antitrust suit is one of the biggest challenges to Deere's tractor repair monopoly.

>A judge rejected John Deere’s motion to dismiss a landmark class action lawsuit over the agricultural giant’s repair monopolies, paving the way for a trial that will determine whether the company’s repair practices are illegal >At issue are the many tactics Deere has used to make it more difficult and often impossible for farmers to repair their own tractors, from software locks and “parts pairing” that prevent farmers from replacing parts without the authorization of a Deere dealership >"Deere—by itself or through its agents—repeatedly made public statements that purchasers could make repairs to their own Tractors but the reality was that they couldn’t,” Johnson wrote.
A federal court on Thursday blocked Montana’s effort to ban TikTok from the state, ruling that the law violated users’ First Amendment rights to speak and to access information online, and the company’s First Amendment rights to select and curate users’ content. Montana passed a law in May that...

>A federal court on Thursday blocked Montana’s effort to ban TikTok from the state, ruling that the law violated users’ First Amendment rights to speak and to access information online, and the company’s First Amendment rights to select and curate users’ content.
>“Ultimately, if Montana’s interest in consumer protection and protecting minors is to be carried out through legislation, the method sought to achieve those ends here was not narrowly tailored,” the court wrote.
> The court’s decision this week joins a growing list of cases in which judges have halted state laws that unconstitutionally burden internet users’ First Amendment rights in the name of consumer privacy or child protection.
In the absence of comprehensive federal privacy legislation in the United States, the targeted advertising industry, fueled by personal information harvested from our cell phone applications, has run roughshod over our privacy. Worse, the boundaries between corporate surveillance and government...
"Unless your data is fully encrypted or stored locally by you, the government often can get it from a communications or computing company.
Traditionally, that required a court order. But increasingly, the government just buys it from data brokers who bought it from the adtech industry."
"this corporate-government surveillance partnership has mostly evaded judicial review."
"Police can also track people whose devices have been inside an immigration attorney’s office, a reproductive health clinic, or a mental health facility"
"The Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act is bipartisan, commonsense law that would ban the U.S. government from purchasing data it would otherwise need a warrant to acquire. Moreover, with the invasive surveillance law Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act set to expire in December 2023, Congress has a chance to include a databroker limits in any bill that seeks to renew it."

Basically what it say on the tin. I just finished Parable of the Sower (Octavia Butler) and I loved it. Any suggestions on what else I might like? It's been a while since I got into a scifi novel.
Edit: It's come to my attention that there's a sequel. I'll start there then. Thank you everyone!
