You can't sell yourself into slavery and this should be illegal as well

The technology has been creative to be as addicting, intrusive and abusive as possible. The affects are turning up in our medical journals, politicals and the destruction of our social fabric. they should had been recognized as a public safety threat a long time ago and regulated.

At least they know their gender... or not

Bacteria don't kill us by eating us... usually.

It would help if digital over the air TV could pick up reception. In NYC the turn over from Analog signal to digital destroyed rabbit ears...

It is hard to get SO many things wrong in one post but the fake insight on Israel is the worst.
Israel is not committing genocide. It is preventing it. Specifically it is prevent the Genocide of Jews which has been repeatedly the case since Mohamed first killed all the Jews in Medina.

It is about Jews. Do you know the difference between Zionist and Jews? NOTHING. They are ALL Jews and our right to our homeland, and daily prayer to return to our home transcends every Jew in every culture. You mistake Jewish democracy and tolerance of dissent for national identity. We are united, if for no other reason than because of Fascists like you who want to kill us.

Right now, depending on how you count Jews, there is about 15.2 million of us in the world and HALF are living in Israel. So you fascists just want to kill half of us or enslave us. F' OFF. That is what the German Fascists did. Fascists are Fascists. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON. And no about of misinformation is going to change that. Only you can change that, but Nazi's like you never change.

These Islamofascist who wants to kill all the Jews and destroy their nation. They supports the rape and enslavement of Women. In fact Mosab Hassan Yousef mother was raped and enslaved by Jihadists and he was raised in a Muslim Brotherhood fascist school. You should actually pay attention some day of what he says. He is talking about 1500+ year old theology of genocide and hatred. We are not just talking about the crazy people like Hassan Ahmed Abd al-Rahman Muhammed al-Banna, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, Abu Hurairah, Haji Shariatullah, all the way back to Mohammed. Islamofascists looking to kill in the name of theological purity... one and all.

That would be an astonishing little amount of money and show the mockery of the law, and embarrass the plaintiffs... so don't bet on that happening.
top posting is fun...

seems obvious the Judge is getting paid off. He probably gets 10% of the bounty.

>>One of these included a medium-severity flaw in an Android app with over 10 million installs.

You are kidding me. Just one?

Bad news for Termites, but great news for the Chinese Maoist Communist Party in Australia.

Since nearly nobody can understand this article, I am sure it will have profound affect to suppress dissidents across the Pacific.

That is a pathetic lie. It is not Big oil but left wing communists and socialists that corrupt out public institutions and society itself. Look at the mental health institutions. The left wing nutcases have let people like you out of institutional care and now you post every day to slashdot the Daily Caller.

Sometimes it does and I find it deceitful and cruel to propose otherwise.

You always have to tread lightly when you see headlines like this because of the improper use of adjectives to make what is supposedly scientific discovery.

I can't think, at the moment, of any form of dementia that is not "devastating". It reminds me of Faucci's excuse to shutdown all of society for almost 3 years because 2 million deaths are "atrocious". Phooey. Stick to the facts and let the reader make their own judgments.

This also reminds me of 1800 century London which by all our accounts must have been a hell by modern standards. And yet millions of people were being economically driven into industrial cities rather than the clean living and healthy fresh air of starving on the open countryside...

Welcome to this Issue
By Pamela Mulloy

In the midst of copy editing the material for this issue I read “These 183,000 Books are Fueling the Biggest Fight in Publishing and Tech” by Alex Reisner in The Atlantic. The article outlines how big tech companies are using the published work of writers to train generative AI systems, and the fact that this work is being scooped up without permission has the writing community up in arms. The list of writers whose work has been pirated is impressive—thirty-three books by Margaret Atwood, for example, along with Rebecca Solnit, Stephen King, George Saunders and on it goes. Others may not be so well known, or so well remunerated but the common denominator is that they were the creators of the work being “harvested”—the thinking, the researching, the writing, the rewriting that goes into a novel, essay, or poem, was all by their hand. They were the generators. Reisner is thorough in his investigation—even providing an online portal for writers to check if their work is being pirated—and stern in his reporting: “The future promised by AI is written with stolen words.”

I don’t have the technical prowess or vision to see how this is going to play out— lawsuits have already been initiated—but this development has spurred me to think about creativity, its value, and how it trickles or blooms in the mind of the creator. It can be said that artists are all magpies, collecting and storing imagery or phrases, or even ideas from others. This is not stealing, however, this is everyday inspiration. We are all influenced by the books we read, the movies we watch, and the paintings we observe. We are also influenced by that walk in a birch grove, the conversation with that stranger on the bus, the sight of striated sun rays through the clouds. We are influenced by mood, by our state of health, by the support of friends, by the balm of solitude. That is how creativity works. It’s complicated, and magical, and the outcome can be life-changing. But there is also the hard graft of creativity. The hours no one wants to think about that go into actually producing something. The hourly wage, if calculated, would in most cases be so low as to be shocking to those who hesitate when buying a book. The question of what these tech businesses will produce with this material is a curious one, as is the question of how we will respond to it. How will the philosophical, psychological or contemplative imprint behind so much creative work stand up against the algorithms?

Who will want to continue to write only to fill the limitless digital cauldron of words that the tech companies are amassing?

And if writers stop writing, who will be left to create the beautiful sentences?
