>> We want to crush any chance of CP. If folks use it for that entire generative AI space will go radioactive and yes there are some things that can be done to make it much much harder for folks to abuse and we are working with THORN and others right now to make it a reality.

I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!

Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP, every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.

The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.

The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.

This is what happens when people/legislators choose to not see further than their own noses.

Many products benefit pedophiles in one way or another. Mobile phones, computers, video editing software, cars (vans?).

"But that's ridiculous, of course we can't prohibit cars just because they can be used by criminals."

Exactly.

> criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws

More specifically, researchers and hobbyists would be made criminals in this hypothetical. Why would I stop playing with ML just because someone passed a useless and poorly thought out law?

I chose to use Firefox because I wanted to regain control over my browsing experience. I did not choose it because I wanted this crap.

- Arbitrary Add-ons on Firefox for Android when?

- Dev tools on Android when?

Note that I switched to using a Chromium-based browser on Android because it actually cared enough to supports both these things.

Mozilla, listen to your existing users (what few remain of them). You will never get the userbase you're gunning for by mimicking your competitors.

Is her salary still inversely correlated with Firefox's userbase?

> the backup camera doesn't work due to a frayed cable and the cable has been back ordered for 11 months now.

I would have assumed that this issue would be quickly addressed by aftermarket suppliers just like it would with any other car manufacturer. Are Tesla like Apple? (i.e abuse laws and technology to lock customers in)

Do they go after third party suppliers/parts?

I haven't tried. It's a recall and don't really want to pay for their defect. It will be interesting to see if I can get my tabs next year because california requires recalls to be fixed in a certain amount of time.

What about safety filters? All the safety filters in the SD interfaces/services I used so far are too false-positive happy. Can these filters be disabled or at least toned down in InvokeAI? If so, how easily?

It ships without any filters.

And people will get accustomed to (i.e. not take seriously) these new AI-generated images like they have with photoshopped images.

"Ethicists" act like society will somehow not adapt to this tech like they have with all the tech that came before it. I put ethicists in quotes because the arguments they use don't hold up to scrutiny and don't seem to be motivated by real ethical concerns. At least not to me.

I think your are right about society adapting to this tech, and I don't think these AI technologies can or should be contained.

But. The Photoshop argument is a bit tiresome. AI will bring about a fundamental shift in content creation and it will disrupt how we treat media as a whole.

Photoshop and other manual technologies are naturally gatekept by the required skill, effort and source images. Once AI media generation matures, all that goes out the window. Anyone will be able to convincingly fake anything with almost no effort and zero traceability.

That shouldn't be downplayed. The concerns are real.

What are the implications of Matter on the privacy of my household? Will implementations require me to connect to the "cloud" or send "telemetry" to it, or will I be allowed to run this system completely isolated from the internet?

No, Blooomberg. The "hacker" never "stole" the money back. The feds never seized it in the first place. All they seized was an encrypted wallet.

Putting it in terms you might better understand: What the feds seized is equivalent to a foreign, chip-only banking card. They never seized the money behind it or the pin required to move that money.

Perhaps his first sentence lacks depth, but his second one certainly doesn't.

This has been Mozilla's MO for a while now. They even did it with add-ons on Firefox for Android. First they allowed add-ons. Then they took them away but promised that they will open up soon. Then the locked them down some more.

These days I don't use Firefox because I want to, but because it's the least worse choice.

I'm confident their hostile behavior towards user control is one of the reasons why they're hemorrhaging users. And no, giving users way to change UI colors not control. It's a fucking pacifier and an insult.
