If blatant uplifting of material is OK...
then I'm sure the like of MS, Google and Nvidia have absolutely no issue with running it against all their internal emails and code, after all it's only "learning" from it.

Don't give money charities you cry...
...well I was a trustee of a small local internet cafe by day and drop in youth club at night.
The only people paid were the full day staff and part time youth workers.
Local anti social behaviour dropped 95% in the first year.
We helped get dozens of people get back into work.
We helped teach many elderly use computers.
We turned a known trouble makers life around so much, he became a professional photographer and a qualified youth worker.
Helped lonely people join social groups.
The list goes on.
Where was this, some inner city shit hole?
No, in an affluent, middle class conservative village.
And before you say "Government should do this", just look at all the services Birmingham are now cutting, the very same things charities support.
You want better services? Then pay for them, but people would rather have a £2 a week tax break.
Microsoft: Copyright law didn't stop the VCR and shouldn't stop the LLM

Would anyone like to point out ..
...the other issue with VCRs (and audio cassettes for that matter).
When you bought blank media, there was a levy to help (in theory) go to a fund to compensate for piracy.
So how about MS etc, pay into a fund every time a query is run that uses stolen material?
Yeah thought not

Stupid advice from an "expert."
"Martin argues that a ban will only work if governments collaborate on establishing a framework of support for organizations that are attacked and don't have the resources available to recover."
Absolutely no fucking way.
Do you think
A) They will make 100% sure that they are protected as much as possible, with good strong security teams, and a good solid plan for recovery ir
B) they will go "Who cares, the tax payer will bail us out. Investing in all that IT stuff cuts into my stock holding payouts"
As for using the troubles in Northern Island as an example, thats just a piss poor example.

You can do what an ex of mine did...

Apparently sales and marketing bods can't cope with a loved up woman dancing half naked on a table at the coffee stand in the middle of a large convention centre.
Yes she got fired, but she didn't care, she landed a dream job a few months later.

Re: More BS from Vermin
"More BS from Vermin
around here, the Vermin network is still using the original cable that was laid in the 1980's by NTL."
My parents were on the old Telewest cabling, yet their entire support team were utterly moronic.
They kept getting drops EXACTLY every 5 minutes. From the get go I said it was a synch issue (could see it in the logs) and it was an upstream fault. I worked in telecom and network for 20 years and had seen this issue plenty of times.
4 engineers to the house, 2 teams in the street, 20 "support" calls, and always it was the same...reboot ..must be a router issue.
Here is the kicker. EVERY SINGLE PERSON we dealt with was too stupid, or badly informed to spot that there were (that I became aware of) about 6 other house with IDENTICAL issues. Guess what, every single one were old Telewest customers.
No idea if they ever fixed it, as all of the affected people left after being with them for 20+ years.

Air Canada must pay damages after chatbot lies to grieving passenger about discount
Friday 16th February 2024 03:34 GMT
Totally agree.
Had a dispute with Orange broadband (pre EE).
Part of the package should of included free international calls to Orange customers in Europe, however after multiple attempts to get it working by them (typical brain dead support) I got an arrogant rep telling me basically tough
So I cancelled the contract in. They promptly tried to claim the remainder of the contract. I told them nope.
Got a threatening letter from legal team, so counter claimed in small claims for breach of contract
As soon as that hit the legal team, 100% refund,plus costs plus £200 "goodwill".
I guess having to send a very expensive rep from London to the midlands for a case they had no chance of winning wasn't worth their time.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!
"Some level of disruption was expected throughout such a fundamental transition to a new system,
No.
If you have done your fucking job correctly, their should be no noticeable disruption.
If we can transfer a contact centre, over a year with all it's add ons, handling a 1.5 MILLION calls a month, running 24/7/365 and not drop a single fucking call, then you have no excuse.
What it takes, is a huge amount of prep work, a mountain of installation planning set up and this is the hard bit, testing, testing and more testing. And after testing, checking, checking and even more checking.
These days it seems to be...looks ok. Lets go live and any issues we can sort them as and when we can be bothered.
Ukraine claims Russian military is using Starlink
Tuesday 13th February 2024 14:07 GMT
@AC.
If they have extensive weapons and this fantastic military. Answer this simple question?
Why are they not fielding their best aircraft with it's amazing stealth and incredible firepower? Is it because they are not actually stealthy at all?
Why are they not using their best tanks that apparently can deter any attack towards it? Is it because the odd one they did deploy were crippled, and subsequently taken apart and found to be little more than ancient hardware with lipstick?
Why are they not deploying the much vaunted "Terminator" platform in the numbers they claim to have? Is it because they have been taken out by little more than a repurposed mine attached to a drone and they don't actually have many at all?
If it's all going to plan, why has this two week invasion pt2, gone on for so long?
Cloudflare defeats another patent troll with crowd-sourced prior-art army

Re: More companies should do this
@claimed.
The issue have with your idea is it favours the wealthy even more than it does now.
If I come up with a detailed method of creating nuclear fusion with a detailed explanation, but it cost £10,000 to file, it's unlikely to get filed unless I somehow convince someone to fund me. Chances are they may want a cut.
If mega corp files a crap patent for atoms hitting each other in a tube for £10,000 it just the money they made from that days vending machines.
Now take it to court. Like I could ever afford to do that. So mega court wins by default.
That's the real problem with the very broken patent system.

...Uni courses give the the structure and "best practices", but in the real real world you have to deal with the mess that is real life; ancient and obsolete kit mixing with cutting edge kit slung together with some random bits noone is exactly sure how it works, it just does. Throw in a healthy dose of super excited new change the world people pissing the old time been-there-wrote-the-book folks. Now add in restricted budgets, untrained end users and a promotion structure that encourages the best to jobs they are completely unsuited to, and bingo!
