Excel is not a data modelling tool. Excel is a single user application with many, many flaws. Extremely useful tool by itself, anything shared or team based is an abomination. I build data models to serve excel users…as soon as Excel IS the model, you’re screwed.
The users are now shifting to using Power BI for their point data modelling… work to unwind and structure that should keep me busy until I die.
User tools != corporate data models. If they do, you’re doing systems and data wrong.
“Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Martijn Dekker justified the attack by saying datacenters and the AI they power are exacerbating the climate crisis, as well as playing a role in the killing of Palestinians by Israel. “
What the actual fuck? What in lord Jesus H Christ in heaven has Israel/palestine got to do with it? Absolute nut jobs.
I don’t think it’s Orwellian, it’s about giving a bit of independence without allowing the sewer of the internet on a device accessible to a child. Options.
Example: my child needs to use TimesTable rockstars or wants to create something on Scratch. If I know when I provide my device (loaded gun) I can ensure it always has the safety on, it gives peace of mind while I cook and clean…or continue working.
It’s only Orwellian if Apple stops adults sending and receiving dick picks. The horror…whatever will people do of an evening?
Given that governments are promoting jobs like plumber and electrician you can guess which bits AI will pretend to replace…they’ll always be a job for the kid who runs to the shop to buy a latte…or any job that needs physical impact on the planet…hoisting a light…lugging something from A to B…brave new world!
I’m confused. If you’re a dual national (oz/brit) you have every right to work don’t you? You’re a British citizen ?
I guess this £500 piece of paper is to prove that inside your Oz passport: this passport belongs to a person who is a dual citizen. I dont understand why it is so bloody expensive though.
Presumably you have to buy a new one if you change passports too. Seems like you’d want to get a British passport for 75 quid instead.
Punishing people who actually decided to go for citizenship after BREXIT. I guess they juiced them for their bullshit tea drinking exam so the poor saps are being juiced again.
Papers please.
Meanwhile my non dual national permanent right to remain partner gets to travel without paying half a grand to the state for…er…nothing?
Until Farage gets in and deports my wife I guess.
Just as we can’t trust politicians with the NHS and Bank of England, we definitely can’t trust them with the BBC. We are not a Nordic country and it’s all very well until they start electing nutters from both ends of the spectrum (Girt Wilders was only next door!)
To be fair I have both a TV license and a Netflix subscription. I never watch anything on Netflix and constantly consume BBC radio, web and TV content.
As soon as you introduce market forces into the BBC it will turn into the same dog shit as everything else.
Can we just have this one nice thing? A broadcaster owned by us for us. Not by some white supremacist cum rag or some shrivelled billionaire and his odious family…us…British people.
Think you've missed the point AC. Read the article.
This isn't about what happens in people imaginations or inside peoples heads...that's their business.
This is about actual harm caused by actual images that have been generated and disseminated on a platform and tool designed for this purpose.
Lets take a simple scenario:
I have a classroom of 14 years olds (mixed boys/girls)
One of the class takes a class mate he fancies picture and feeds it into his CSAM generator (Grok).
The picture is sent round to the others in the class.
...?...
...profit (for Elon Musk).
How do you think the class mate who has been violated feels? Did she consent to this? How do you think a class of 14 year olds will react to this picture? What if the picture comes with a story about how the classmate was a slut who he banged last night and took this photo? Is this still harmless fantasising?
Do you think?
The CSAM generator doesn't need to be a CSAM generator...that's by design isn't it...we know this because Musk has had it turned off (but not in all countries because CSAM is apparently fine unless it's legally not).
If the man who owns the CSAM generator makes it so it isn't a CSAM generator anymore (because there is still no valid usecase for this other than for paedophiles to generate CSAM), should he not be compelled to do so?
It's literally only to do with NCII and CSAM. You don't like Musk being caught out and adopt his affluenza influenced child like view of "freedom".
It's easy:
1) this functionality has been built specifically to do what it does and has been called out for it.
2) It has no legitimate use (tell me the legitimate use please if I am wrong).
3) It needs to be un-built.
Nobody gives a toss if millions of people want to be talked dirty to by a chatbot trained on pornography...that's their choice and what they do with a gym sock in the privacy of their own cum soaked bedsit is their business.
Nearly everybody gives a shit that their children and relatives can be abused online by a tool that has no genuine other purpose than to specifically do this.
"That's it"
I would go a step further and say this is Musk releasing more rage bait to up his pathetic little profile. Maybe he needs more state subsidies for his "private" enterprises. Go on, the US tax payer loves a good Musk subsidy!
My downvote was for this:
"and doesn't want England to drag the US into another world war because of what that Hun Fritz said about Our Charlie."
England did not drag the US into any war...the US made a decision based on its own interests and imperialist goals. Sure they lost a few good men...but some people got rich too, no?
Check the history...England lost any say over what the United States of America does or doesn't do in 1783.
Indeed. Which shows Musk has full control over what his tools can and cannot do...he has decided to continue to allow people to abuse women and children in this way. I'm pleased that's crystal clear even if it doesn't stop the abuse: it's his choice and therefore his responsibility. Lets see what happens in time.
To all the ACs who said this was "Technically very difficult because of how complex LLMs are".
Turns out it was a switch...turns out your dogshit LLM is just an old wizard pulling some rusty chains to make child porn come flying out.
Turns out you didn't know as much as you thought you did about how "difficult" it was to switch off Grok's child pornography generator.
Turns out Musk's dogshit chatbot Grok can be told not to do something...if the correct US court threat is issued.
Makes our premier look a bit limp dicked...his chance to actually take action (shut down X until Grok was either disabled or made so it wasn't a child pornography generator) was missed. Sad times. Thank you California!
Bit sad that child pornography mode...sorry...spicy mode will still be available to all good VPNs since Musk couldn't bring himself to actually disable the functionality where there is high demand for it and therefore money to be made from it. Great guy. Great company.
People with mobile phones? Cameras?
Like I said…Twitter is a tool, not “the truth”.
You said “leftist agenda” so you’re clearly quite slow. Do you mean the panorama edits that the people involved have been fired for? Held to account?
Also let’s not forget Trump DID incite the riots…listen to the demented fool’s speech and come to your own conclusion…but you probably know this…you were probably there.
