It’s hard to argue that a datacenter has more environmental impact than a chemical plant, but I look forward to reading the comments that try.
This looks like this is part of the UK’s Digital Sovereignty plans, so they have their companies data on their land and legal jurisdiction
On one hand you can use an OS that respects your privacy, doesn’t have telemetry, doesn’t push advertisements as system messages and doesn’t default your storage to the cloud and then charge you a subscription to access your files… on the other hand you can’t make your mouse blue.
It’s a tough decision, but everyone has to make that one on their own.
MAGA is an expert of artificial intelligence, lacking any real intelligence

I was trained on Stack Overflow, OBVIOUSLY
You can make it effectively invisible if you print the noise in ink only visible to UV cameras and even if you use black, the individual features are smaller than a fingernail so it would be hard to see.
The law makes it illegal to put anything on the plate at all, here’s an example from FL:
A person may not alter the original appearance of a vehicle registration certificate, license plate, temporary license plate, mobile home sticker, or validation sticker issued for and assigned to a motor vehicle or mobile home, whether by mutilation, alteration, defacement, or change of color or in any other manner. A person may not apply or attach a substance, reflective matter, illuminated device, spray, coating, covering, or other material onto or around any license plate which interferes with the legibility, angular visibility, or detectability of any feature or detail on the license plate or interferes with the ability to record any feature or detail on the license plate. A person who knowingly violates this section commits a misdemeanor of the second degree,
It would be hard to disrupt the OCR from outside of the plate area.
You could break the segmentation, the process where it draws a box around your plate and sends the image inside of the box to be OCRd by making every other surface of your vehicle detect as a license plate using the same invisible marks. I imagine you could also print a bumper sticker with noise to look maximally like a license plate and put it near your real plate to achieve the same outcome.
If you wanted more active measures you could use high lumen UV floodlights next to your plate, it would overload the sensors so they couldn’t get an image at all. The light would be invisible to human eyes but blinding to anyone using a UV sensitive device. I believe this is fine in any state as most states only restrict your ability to install blue lights to avoid confusion with emergency services.
Yes capitalism’s end state is a monopoly on power, aka a fascist dictatorship. I never made an argument stating otherwise.
Ending Anti-Circumvention is taking power away from capitalists. They can no longer send the law to lock you in jail because you edited the firmware of a device that you own. That’s a move in the opposite direction of capitalism.
It looks like you’re blaming the technology and not the corporations.
OpenAI didn’t invent machine learning, nor did they invent the Transformer model.
AI is not more responsible for OpenAI’s poor decisions than the electricity or the IP protocol, despite their also being key technologies required for the growth of OpenAI and all of the other AI companies.
If a person is driving a car wrecklessly, you go after that person… you don’t outlaw automobiles.
Ya, that seems reasonable.
I think it’s a pretty core democratic value that no person is worth more than another. A compromise of 1 million times should satisfy individuals with even the most acute case of wealth hoarding.
Adversarial noise a fun topic and a DIY AI thing you can do to familiarize yourself with the local-hosting side of things. Image generating networks are lightweight compared to LLMs and are able to be run on a moderately powerful, NVIDIA, gaming PC (most of my work is done on a 3080).
LLM poisoning can also be done if you can insert poisoned text into their training set. An example method would be detecting AI scrapers on your server and sending them poisoned instead of automatically blocking them. Poison Fountain makes this very easy by supplying pre-poisoned data.
Here is the same kind of training data poisoning attack, but for images that was made by the researchers of University of Chicago into a simple windows application: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html
Thanks to you comment I realized that my clipboard didn’t have the right link selected so I edited in the link to his github. ( https://github.com/bennjordan )
Not only is it panic, but by the time you’re looped in it’s already half way up the management chain and you can’t see the end of the cc list.
Valve made a big move when they started their Proton project. That was a key compatibility layer for a more wide-spread adoption.
It was shocking at how fast it went from ‘you can tweak it to run most things’ to ‘I don’t even check to see if the game works anymore before I buy it’.
Someone hacked the government
So I keep a windows partition just so I can manage a 16 year old mp3 player and radio. That has to be the worst reason to keep a Windows partition, right?
Yeah, and you can often assume that someone else has had that problem and was also enough of a nerd to fix it for us all.
This is absolutely massive for the FOSS community. A sovereign nation has resources that dwarf anything that the FOSS community has ever had access to.
Now, they just need to repeal the anti-circumvention laws. That’ll cut the US tech sector deeply by allowing us to use the products that we pay for in the ways that we want.
No, a flat amount will never work. Make it a multiple of some figure, like average wage. That way it actually changes with inflation and we don’t have a situation where the the inflation adjusted minimum wage is 6 times the actual federal minimum wage.
She’s a great author and person.
There is no topic more botted than the AI discussion and I see Lemmy isn’t immune.
