That’s interesting. I’d be a little concerned that widespread use of that might create more legal issues for Archive.org that wouldn’t be problems if it never caught on much. On that basis, I’d probably not use it.
But I’d imagine ideological opposition to such a thing wouldn’t be enough to keep it from catching on either.
Trusted computing is back in a new form. :\
I’ve got a smart TV on which the Wifi broke very shortly after I got it. I just use a Chromecast and it works nicely.
Did someone say pirate music sharing thread?
I Am A Pirate - Whitey Cracker
And everyone knows this one, right?
Tears of the Kingdom as I have been every day since it came out and as I likely will every day until I’ve one hundred percented it.
There ar enough legal gray areas still that it would take a lot of work to even figure out what “all digital piracy” even means. For instance, I don’t think it’s been tested in court yet whether the copying into RAM that your OS does when you run a program runs afoul of copyright.
Though, corporations routinely violate the terms of the GPL by distributing binaries without providing any way to get the source code. I’d say that qualifies as “digital piracy.” So I suppose if the government did try to stop all digital piracy, it wouldn’t be all bad.
I wonder if some companies making this move (“replacing workers with AI”) aren’t just laying people off and then publicly talking about AI for publicity without any real intention to use AI.
That seems particularly likely with regard to IBM’s similar move not long ago. For them, saying “we’re replacing staff with AI” instead of “we’re laying people off” is basically marketing Watson.
