I don't get it. Is there some legal requirement that instant messages be retained for some amount of time?

I mean I get it If chat messages that were under discovery got deleted, but I don't think that's the case. It's just that at some point in time new chat conversations were set to be deleted in 24 hours. A new chat conversation can't possibly be relevant to a previous order of discovery.

"uhhh nothing I can tell you about"

First impressions are important.

The canadian journalists? ALL of them, or just the ones the Canadian government approves of? Besides, why does he care... CBC isn't going anywhere with how much money his government has funneled into it...

why does this actually make me laugh lol like we’re all really just living the same lives..

UBI when? if you think the homeless crisis is bad now, boy.. just you wait!

In the future, there will be AI communicating with other AI to research and teach us to build everything that it discovers.

Google's corporate motto: "Do evil"

Are those really the people you want to anger by firing them?

What a great Kickstarter idea

>“It really surprises me that Google has decided that they’d rather prevent Canadians from accessing news than actually paying journalists for the work they do,”

No, I don't think that surprised anyone.

Facebook research just open sources their LLMs this week.

There are two possibilities for this:

One, hook up to a module or service that will inject the malware for you (these absolutely exist).

Two, there are lots of well-known vulnerabilities out there that a lot of people haven’t patched…and ChatGPT may know what they are!

You could prompt it with “write malware like this with a delivery mechanism that uses the top five known exploitable vulnerabilities” (yes there is a list).

Ahh, I see. We’re at that “bleed talent from the company for short term stock gain and bail from this hot potato before it’s obvious we’re tanking” step.

There was a point in history where what was good for a company’s stock was good for the company in general. But now successful companies are shooting themselves in the foot with alarming frequency. If the stock isn’t going up, then the shareholders get angry. Doesn’t matter that the market is saturated and there is nowhere “up” left to go. The company won’t be complacent with steady massive profits and instead commit suicide just to get that last stock bump.

Okay. People on forums frequented by script kiddie types have been saying they can get good stuff out of ChatGPT, but of course script kiddies would not know the difference.

The people who write the tools used by script kiddies or those “ransomware as a service” type kits are a different story…

Really? Ive never worked on malware but doesn't it typically need some pretty slick ways to inject code?

I like how people from other countries will default to saying, “in my country” or “in ______.” But Americans are in THE country.

I am a malware developer, this is not true as a general rule, malware code outputted by these language models have been subpar even for script kiddies standards (most code doesn't even work or don't do what it needs to do). Demonstration:

I can do most domestic tasks in just a few minutes!

I'm so glad the cut off is 20 years :)

Thing the bill is a unworkable mess that it is likely to collapse under its own weight just look at the last UK age verification law that was delayed over and over again until it was quietly scraped.

And what is "US" planning to do about it that stands any meaningful chance of changing Google's behavior?

So uncivilized
