GitHub Copilot litigation.

This suit started in 2022 but seems to still be slogging along: By training their AI systems on public GitHub repositories (though based on their public statements, possibly much more) we contend that the defendants have...

In case anyone is unclear, since I hear he's also campaigning on this Linux age-gating trash:

Bryan Lunduke is a fascist hatemonger. He represents the absolute worst in free software and I believe he should be ostracized from any and all parts of our community. He wants software freedom for himself and in the abstract but despises individuals expressing their freedom. He believes in a software freedom that is hollowed out and missing love.

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."

You can build anything with Rust! 🦀

Here is a flight controller running in the browser.

It's a demo for copper-rs (a framework for robotics)

TL;DR: The FBI claims it can conduct mass surveillance without AI, amid tensions with Anthropic over the use of technology for domestic surveillance.

“Denmark Was Ready to Blow Up Airfields to Stop a U.S. Invasion of Greenland

The Danes brought blood supplies, explosives and live ammunition to Greenland as part of contingency plans in case President Trump acted on his threats to seize the island.”

LOL, just heard about a WW2 female spy who got caught by a german soldier stringing up an antenna. he asked if she needed a hand. she didn't know what to say so said yes and he helped her string up an antenna, assuming she just wanted to listen to radio stations.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

Sorry y'all. I am fully down this rabbit hole. I love a dark horse. Even if it's for a technology I'm not invested in.

And I love when capitalism sort of does its job, which seems rare. We have most of Silicon Valley trying to centralize compute with just one hold out—Apple.

Big tech's only hope is to codify a monopoly by outlawing local AI models. And boy, are they trying. But if Apple officially steps into the local AI market, that legislation seems harder to pass.
