   My understanding is that in the vast majority of investigations law enforcement will be satisfied in learning only who you're talking to, i.e. "just metadata" is fine, and dangerous.

   >I wonder why there has been such silence on this

   Some combination of cowardice, conflict of interest, and fear of ICE.

   "The map is not the territory" ensures that bias and mistakes are inextricable from the entire AI project. I don't want to get all Jaron Lanier about it, but they're fundamental terms in the vocabulary of simulated intelligence.

   All three of those should be followed by "...and I checked it to see if it was a sufficient solution to X..." or words to that effect.

    Congress makes laws, not government agencies like the FDA, EPA, USDA, etc.

    What are some examples of laws created by unelected people?

    Jamie Dimon should be in prison right now, for one.

    That equals permission, at least (I'm sure) to them.

    Not only is Thiel a dyed in the wool libertarian, but he also owns the dye factory and patents.

    I think it's probably just his version of yanking the chain, but if anybody wants to submit to the experiment I'm sure he'll be happy to sit back and watch.

    You don't have to pay someone $50/wk. You allow users to have friends, and then you recommend based on what they've been listening to.

    Dummynet and the rest of this functionality comes from FreeBSD, where it has existed for a long time. I was doing packet loss testing with it 15+ years ago. Works great!

    The first-sale doctrine says the ticket industry could not, in fact, stop reselling.

    That said, your plan is one ticket per identified person, that you can't buy 4 tickets at a time for you and your friends? Not sure that'll fly, even with people who hate Ticketmaster.

    Doesn't matter. POSIX is "write once, compile everywhere," while this is "compile once, run everywhere." It could be that POSIX is easier to write than for Cosmo bins, shifting the balance between them! I see them as just different endpoints of development.

    >Leaving AI to a handful of companies is in my opinion the fastest route for inequality and power concentration/centralisation

    It's a homesteading land grab, plain, simple and pure.

    There is a competitive landscape, first-mover advantages, incumbent effects, et al that are being anchored in e.g. Sam Altman's interests and desires at this very moment. If you want a vision of the future of garage AI, imagine a boot stomping on Preston Tucker's face over and over. The current AI industry's goal is to preserve an image of openness and benefit while getting ready to pull the ladder up when the time is right.

    I think the extremely most important aspect of AI security is for there to be a right to deinfluence.

    There has to be way to rescind my contributions, whether they're voluntary or not (I still think these companies are dancing with copyright violations), as well as ALL DERIVATIVES of the contributions being removed that have been created via the processing of the creations in question, regardless of form or generation (derivatives of derivatives, etc.).

    The fish rots from the head, blame MBAs and Stanford GSB in particular. Google e.g. "Peter Thiel laughing" and click on Images to view a panoply of boundaries in executive humanity.

    IANAL, but from my understanding of the points at issue, I think a court might be likely to find that a) sucking the image into RAM is a copy in the first place; b) the FFT/etc. would be a (first) derivative work; c) using a form of the original image sufficient to communicate to the alteration processes what it should be altering would constitute a copy; and/or d) identifying something as a de-copyrighted work will undercut any defenses.
