This is the same system that’s used to detect and take down Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). It’s been around for years. Meta is just expanding the criteria for what images (or hashes of images) they will use it on.

The CSAM system was not previously used to detect and take down nude photos that teens shared consensually: now, it is, even if the subject of the photo has since become a legal adult.

Not that simple. If one's phone is stolen or hacked, photos/videos that weren't on the internet suddenly find themselves on the internet. Without knowledge or consent.

Is this Zuckerberg's way of skirting huge SEC fines? Isn't this the same Instagram that peddles videos of animal cruelty, sexual assault, torture and killing?

This is supposed to be an art project. The guy seems to be getting a lot of press for it right now. But it's a really old idea. I remember seeing another artist/hacker do the same thing many years ago, can't remember the name. It goes back at least 15 years. There are lots of other versions of it around too, youtube diy videos, even companies selling baseball hats with LEDs for the purpose.

That's good to know. I'm still fairly skeptical. This seems like the literal least effort approach one could take and still claim they are doing something--to the point where I think they will have spent more money advertising their effort than they spent on developing the system itself.

Every professional photograph has been photoshopped to some extent

We have or will have N types of renewable generation (hydro, solar PV, solar-thermal, solar-hydrogen, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, maybe biomass, maybe some kind of engineered plant things generating electricity, who knows) and M types of storage (pumped-hydro, thermal, P forms of chemical battery, hydrogen, gravity, flywheel, bio-fuel, compressed-air, who knows). Fairly soon they will give us costs lower than nuclear, and far less climate damage than fossil. We won't be "constraining" ourselves much by using a mix of the best choices, instead of trying to keep an also-ran tech such as nuclear on life-support.

if it go on the internet it stay in the internet

“Microsoft said that Bing data is protected by stripping personal information from it and that only certain employees could access the chats.”

If they’re trying to understand how interactions influence the output, it makes sense that they would study the interactions. I don’t think most people would object to this if they believe all identity and personal information have been removed. Of course they should also be more transparent about what they ARE keeping related to identity and whether someone identity could be constructed from the data they’ve retained.

This is just early adopter problems, prices will come down as SMRs become mass produced. The high cost reflects the actual cost of decarbonizing, which is much higher than most people give credit. You can't just buy your way to success with climate change, and all the cost overruns are what it actually takes to manufacture something new. The same goes for any other important capital project, like a railroad or a canal. These things aren't cheap, and people shouldn't pretend like the price they are offered is the actual price they'll pay. In return, this avoids all of the problems inherent with large PV and battery farms when they reach their end-of-life, a problem all nuclear reactors are uniquely required to account for that other power modes don't.

This also happens in the same state that used to house America's largest coal power plant, and is adjacent America's largest oil producing state. These people aren't hippies in the first place, and they aren't fiscal conservatives either.

Distributed, cheap, steadily-getting-cheaper renewables and storage are even better ways to get "known quantities" that Russia can't affect.

I suspected that this would basically work like the tools used to recognize and spike Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) images and it actually is - it’s the same tools and the same database! This is basically expanding the eligibility criteria for what can go into the database.

Previously if you sent your high school sweetheart a nude selfie and that person did whatever with it, you didn’t have a lot of options, but now you can upload a hash of the picture (not the actual picture) to the database and it will get taken down.

Also if you are a legal adult now but have nude photos of yourself from when you were a minor floating around, you can upload hashes fo the database and have them taken down.

Is this going to be like the poor people who comb the internet for child porn to remove and commit suduko at a high rate compared to other moderators from large companies.

Yes because "energy" in this context means "supply chain from Saudi Arabia and Russia, as controlled by 3 companies". It only takes one major war to wipe our global oil supply and Russia is doing that. Or Covid. Nuclear is resistant to these markets, especially now that Biden is having us refine our own Uranium instead of importing it from Russia. A high-cost, capital-intensive object is at least a known quantity versus Iran bombing Saudi oil terminals again, Russia opening a second front in Finland, or Venezuela invading Colombia. The international supply chain that delivers oil into our gas tanks is extremely fragile versus in-house nuclear development.

That is actually a problem 12 hours a day, when there isn't sun and wind farms tend to harm birds which is why they are banned in areas with strict enviomental laws, such as California. Altamont Pass still gets lawsuits despite being one of the US's most pioneering wind projects, and it has noticably hurt the bird population. Granted birds aren't people but they might as well be in the context of enviomental litigation.

We can't have diversity with just renewables and storage, because the large reservoirs and battery vats required for it won't be built or require so much material it invalidates whatever emissions savings went into it. Wind and solar are nice to have, but all of them exist with gas as baseload power and gas can only be replaced by nuclear or coal. Since we're theoretically banning coal, this leaves nuclear as a required element.

China has already discovered this with their new next-gen coal plant construction program. PV-onlyism won't work. And really, why should we constrain ourselves that way anyway?

Very few people would be dumb enough to use chunks of random code that they don't know the copyright state of. If they did and the company they work for found out that they did it intentionally they would probably be fired.

The first 2 women have the exact same eyes and the old lady looks like a cartoon.

Nice! This has been needed for a while now.
