Die Presse nennt man nicht umsonst die vierte Gewalt. Gegen Rupert Murdoch sind die Techkonzerne zahnlose Tiger.

Diese Selbstbedienung ist ziemlich bedenklich.

There’s a huge difference, an absolute chasm, between non-destructive scanning, which was always an option by the way, for the purposes of putting it in a public archive

Like Anna's Archive, or Sci-Hub. Famously legal.

If only they uploaded everything to those archives, the scanning would be perfectly fiiiiine.

You could take those downvotes as an invitation to check if those other stories (environmental, economical, societal) hold up any better.

You know how these AIs output tokens? I'm going to explain the concept with words, because that makes it easier to understand. But it means that the explanation is [ETA:]NOT quite right.

An AI has a vocabulary. The words in that vocabulary are assigned to 2 groups.

Sometimes when the AI is outputting something, it could use different words equally well. It's not quite the same as having synonyms, cause this isn't really about words. But let's say you have synonyms in those different groups. At those points in the text, you can pick from one group or the other to embed a hidden pattern in the text.

Limitations are obvious. To embed the watermark, you need enough opportunities to pick "synonyms". It won't work for very short texts, or if the word choices are very constrained.

I'm curious if the negative effects are really as minor as they say.

Natural gas. In the EU that is classified as sustainable, green energy. Or maybe that's only if it's sourced from Russia. Common regulatory W.

I'm glad that you're not distressed. You clearly feel strongly about the issue, though, and I don't really understand why or how.

Some people will prefer the original sources when they come out. But I understand why you would want to wait for someone to put the pieces from the different parties together. I do the same on most issues.

It's more background on how the HuggingFace hack came to happen.

You should listen if you are concerned with cybersecurity. Otherwise, it's just interesting if you're curious.

I posted this in an AI community. If you find AI distressing, that's not on me.

May I ask what the use case was?

Deswegen muss der Staat eine Regulierungsbehörde haben um...

Ach. Das waren die Aufseher vom Staat.

Poes Gesetz.

Looks like we need to regulate the regulators.

Ragebait? Verspäteter Aprilscherz?
