What, you don’t let your infants play near downed power lines? Kids these days are so sheltered.

I’m not worried about CCTV footage in the US, at least as far as government surveillance is concerned. The main reason is the difficulty in wiretapping, compared to the payoff. For the government to get access to CCTV cameras owned by private citizens, they’d have to backdoor every single manufacturer, then figure out how to stream footage without being detected. This is definitely possible, but it’s considerably more difficult than wiretapping phone conversations. I’m sure the NSA/CIA/etc has done this before on a targeted basis, but doing it in general is very risky and a ton of work(if they want to keep it a secret), and what do they get in return? The NSA has a lot of resources, but it’s still limited.

You’re on thin ice, buddy

Fun fact: back in the 90s, some motherboards would start playing “Fur Elise” or “It’s a Small, Small World” through the internal speaker if the CPU fan was failing. So if you started hearing that, that meant your computer was about to fry itself.

Also, all employees are required to say “POWER UP THE BASS CANON” while filling the drink

I know aleph-null guys. All in the same family. Parents were lazy and named all their kids after the positive integers. 42 is my best friend.

I love you, random internet person

Xenogears is still the GOAT for me

For extra fun, you can name your variables using solely Unicode invisible characters (e.g. non-breaking space) so they’re impossible to visually distinguish

The monoliths in the US fucking suck, but the ones in Canada are much nicer. I passed one near Toronto and it gave an ominous hum and slowed down so I could pass. Some guy tried tailgating it and got banished, but as long as you aren’t a dick, they’ll leave you alone.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying the rich and powerful have a vested interest in not taking risks that jeopardize their power and wealth, because they have more to lose.

The reason these models are being heavily censored is because big companies are hyper-sensitive to the reputational harm that comes from uncensored (or less-censored) models. This isn’t unique to AI; this same dynamic has played out countless times before. One example is content moderation on social media sites: big players like Facebook tend to be more heavy-handed about moderating than small players like Lemmy. The fact small players don’t need to worry so much about reputational harm is a significant competitive advantage, since it means they have more freedom to take risks, so this situation is probably temporary.

Unfortunately, retrofitting CSP on an existing site can be nightmare, especially if you have external dependencies. At my job, we spent months trying to enable CSP on one our oldest sites, but ultimately gave up because one of our dependencies won’t work unless we added “unsafe-inline” everywhere, which kinda defeats the whole point of CSP.
