  The charges were very much because they were looking for any possible reason to put him behind bars for the act of buying that house.

  It’s not worthless anymore even if no human reads it. Other bots pick it up and regurgitate it, as proved by Ars Technica’s article that was itself AI generated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s terrifying.

  Who produces the chips that make AMD products? They are the bottleneck. If those fabs are already overloaded, a new product won’t help in any way.

  I can’t imagine that they could be worst than the existing VISA and MasterCard duopoly.

  You’re right. I meant more by “non-destructive” that it is, depending on factors like intensity and known algorithm, reversible.

  A swirl is a distortion that is non-destructive. Am anonymity blur averages out pixels over a wide area in a repetitive manner, which destroys information. Would it be possible to reverse? Maybe a little bit. Maybe one pixel out of every %, but there wouldn’t be any way to prove the accuracy of that pixel and there would be massive gaps in information.

  You mean: have it’s neck broken by the falling mass of a shit-mountain of LLM-slop?

  Or just the ages old solution of leaving a spare to a trusted neighbor.

  So all those “red room” legends were true. It’s just that instead of being in the dark web, it was broadcast in public for the world to see. How dystopian.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The short is that the acquiring bank of PayPal has banned transactions to Steam in all non-Western currencies (exception being Japanese Yen).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  À ce rythme là, ce serait préférable que le cirque nucléaire au sud.

  At this rate, it would be preferable to the nuclear circus South of the border. Where can I read more?

  Of course the bank of a notably religious country would be happy to have an excuse to attach licentious stuff.
