If that’s the case we should also fix copyright law, trademark law, etc. Because when you get right down to it, the reason things are as bad as they are is because we have let those laws (initially meant to protect against corporate/capitalism over reach like this) be turned against us and mangled by corps.

I might have agreed with this before 9/11. But given how unlikely it is to get the court system to enforce privancy rights and laws we do have and how much our privacy rights have been hollowed out since then I can’t really say that I see that being successful. especially not with the current administration.
This may work in other parts of the world, but in the US I don’t see it.
Out of curiosity, what else has worked (in the court system) to even remotely challenge AI companies?

Technology@beehaw.org•ICE shared Medicaid data it wasn't supposed to have with Palantir
2·2 months agoYeah. No. There’s still the requirement to provide a SSN and other identifying information in order to get Medicaid. Specifically documents that confirm residency and citizenship
But even if what you say is true (and that still doesn’t mean they are legally eligible for Medicaid), that still doesn’t explain why ICE would need that information. Because specifically, because there’s a whole apparatus (used to be before toddler in chief got reelected) who’s whole purpose was to audit this system. This is why Medicaid can come after your assets if you use it when you have other means.
So why is ICE, an agency who’s purpose is not to investigate citizens, gaining any access to a database of people who are citizens. This is as much a “Need to Know” thing as it is a “make it make sense” thing.
It’s like gaining access to the fingerprints of service members for the purposes of making sure they’re citizens. The federal government already investigated and continues to investigate their status as legally residing in the country and that data base is for identifying service members who have died so their remains can be returned.

Technology@beehaw.org•Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent — That Privacy Guy!
9·4 months agoPer Passerby6497’s comment above:
The AI Mode pill in the Chrome 147 omnibox is a cloud-backed Search Generative Experience surface - every query the user types into it is sent over the network to Google’s servers for processing by Google’s hosted models. The on-device Nano model is not invoked by the AI Mode UI flow at all. They are entirely separate code paths - the most visible AI affordance in the browser does not use the local model the user has been silently given, and the features that do use the local model (Help-Me-Write in <textarea>, tab-group AI suggestions, smart paste, page summary) are buried in textarea-context menus and tab-group right-click menus that the average user will discover, on average, never.
What a double kick to the dick. First, they silently download 4gb to your disk, and they still fucking send your shit to their cloud AI.

6·6 months agoYou know, even if there’s backlash, all that will happen is they’ll backtrack temporarily until the heat dies down. Then they’ll go ahead and implement this anyway.
Because it’s renting. From every company that can get exclusivity to something you want to rent.
I’ll have a look.
