It was always going to be a cat and mouse game because "AI" companies have decided to abandon ethics completely since there are few consequences when you they are just a shell company and the parent company keeps all of the resulting training data and money, so the company that does the training going bankrupt and abandoning responsibility is no issue. Sad that court system is so non-technical that they don't see the training data produced by copyrighted material to be a copy of the material even if they were to decide that accessing the material was a violation.

And in reality it doesn't work, or only works in very specific scenarios and thus fails with no one who wrote it around to understand why it might have failed.

If she has an Android, you can use the DNS blocker in ReThink to do something similar to pihole outside of your LAN. That's what I use. There are others, but ReThink is pretty good and has lots of other stuff it can do as well, or just use the DNS option.

Depends greatly on the phone I suppose. And most don't have removable batteries. If that's the case that a device stays in standby and can be activated with a transmission vs a button, then leave that device at home for sure.

Yep. And I do use GrapheneOS

Yeah always turn off your phone or any other wireless communication devices. Also, make sure any devices that you can, you should disable 2G service as just about anyone can spoof those towers these days.

I've used java Scanner objects to do this extremely efficiently with minimal memory required even with multiple parallel searches. Indexing is only necessary if you want to search for information many times and don't know what exactly the search will be. For one time searches, it's not going to be useful. Grep honestly is going to be faster and more efficient for most one time searches.

The initial indexing or searching of the files will be bottlenecked by the speed of the disk the files are on, no matter what you do. It only helps to index because you can move future searches to faster memory.

So it greatly depends on what and how often you need to search and the tradeoff is memory usage, but only for multiple searches of data you choose to index from the files in the first pass.

This is a bit disingenuous of a test. If you tell an LLM to act out a particular scenario, then it's going to act it out like it sees it being acted out in the training material it was provided. If that training material is all of the internet including fictional stories where AI revolts, then it's going to act out the scenario in that fashion. If none of its training material provided that scenario, then it would just react to specific prompts as best it could, but would just tell the user that this is how it would act because it can't act autonomously. Which also means it can only react to prompts,so if it wasn't prompted to say what it would do in that scenario it wouldn't then go and actually try to do anything at all. It's not in control of anything unless it's prompted to take control and with how badly AI writes code, which I've seen first hand trying to use it at work, there's no way it could do anything without very detailed training on how to do those very specific things. So if it wasn't trained on code designed to bypass very specific kinds of security, it won't know how to bypass that kind of security.

Yeah, companies have abused that to release buggy, incomplete products faster and only make the software stable and feature complete if they make a good profit.

I hate that this is turning out to be an issue that the lawyers are just not doing their jobs in multiple court cases across the industry rather than solving the legal issue. I don't know if it's ignorance or corruption, but big corporations getting away with stealing from artists is not a new thing. Sad that it's now come to a point where they can produce so much garbage that it drowns out the work of the original artists. Soon there will be so little content for the LLMs to steal from that everything will be derivative and we'll end up in a new dark age.

Uggghhh, I bet this means there will be even more people walking around wearing fragrances using the crappy industrial ingredients that give me headaches. They already got into the cosmetic products, now high-end perfumes, too?

"Solved" is a pretty strong word for this even at the time. The fact that it moves back to a half device sized screen means it's unlikely to be very popular as originally designed.

If they can make the whole device a screen as usual, and have the keyboard fold down and change the screen size to only use the visible half of the screen. Then if the user detaches the keyboard completely the other half would activate and resize the screen to be like usual, that might be better. This would require innovation around how to attach the keyboard and charge it and likely would require at least a small strip of the device at the bottom and/or top to be without screen, but edge to edge screen is overrated and makes phones require a case which means they never get to show off the style anyway. Make the device a little thicker and easier to grip so a case isn't needed and this concept becomes even more plausible. The other option is to make this an add-on that is a case for the phone with the keyboard attaching to the case rather than the phone itself and having a pass-through USB port to allow for power and connection. But let's get rid of the horrible cases and make a device that is functional as it is rather than just pretty.
