A.I. is B.S.

Maybe it's because text in Notepad is the most likely to be pure text, with no extraneous stuff like formatting that may trip up the AI.

Here's a Bluesky thread on how easy it is get Midjourney 3 to spit out clearly plagiarized work.

Reid Southen (@rahll.bsky.social)

If you didn't know, I was banned by Midjourney 3 times for exposing their infringement and plagiarism. Their AI can very easily recreate stolen training data (even without naming it), so here's a thread of images you can use to shut AI proponents down...

Microsoft Office Tools Reportedly Collect Data for AI Training, Requiring Manual Opt-Out

Microsoft's Office suite is the staple in productivity tools, with millions of users entering sensitive personal and company data into Excel and Word. According to @nixCraft, an author from Cyberciti.biz, Microsoft left its "Connected Experiences" feature enabled by default, reportedly using...

www.techpowerup.com

Disabling the feature requires going to: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences, and unchecking the box. Even with an unnecessary long opt-out steps, the European Union's GPDR agreement, which Microsoft complies with, requires all settings to be opt-in rather than opt-out by default. This directly contradicts EU GDPR laws, which could prompt an investigation from the EU.

Dear Europe: I love you.

Well, specifically, I love GDPR.

But Europe as a whole is good too.

Sure, sure. You're welcome to come over whenever you want. Feel free to bring coworkers.

One of the few (arguably the only) smart things Britain did during Brexit was decide we were going to have our own version of GDPR only with hookers & blowjobs which is just the EU version copied wholesale & renamed UK GDPR.

I just came across a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien:

"Evil is not able to create anything new, it can only distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of good.”

Man, that sums up machine learning A.I. rather well, doesn't it?

 

[PatrThom]

Machine learning A.I. doesn't discriminate. It will ingest and distort and destroy what has been invented or made by the forces of Evil just as readily.
