The point is that any unsigned image is assumed to be AI generated. You can absolutely strip the metadata or convert it to some other format (there’s always the analog hole and it has to become a bitmap to be displayed) but then you’ve lost the proof you took it.
You’d still need secure key storage hardware and trust roots in the camera like TPMs but every phone has that already…
(This is referring to the ‘signed in camera’ model)
Theoretically you could include the original signed unprocessed image (or make it available NFT-style) and let the viewer decide whether the difference to post-processed image is reasonable or unreasonable.
It would however make it impossible to partially censor images without giving away the non-AI proof, unless you had a trusted third party ™ verify the original and re-sign the censored version.
A ‘view cryptographically signed original’ button next to every instagram post would be complete LOL, though.
Are you talking about the AI generator registering on the blockchain? Because there is essentially no incentive for them to do so and every incentive for them not to.
If you mean genuine camera images being registered on the blockchain, that would give away at minimum the time the image was taken, and probably what kind of device it was taken with and all other images taken by the same user. That’s a lot of data.
Images, text etc can be generated entirely offline and independently. There is nothing to force the image to be attached to the block chain either directly or as a fingerprint.
You would have to do the opposite: when you take a picture or video (or write some text?), as it is recorded, the camera chipset signs the image/video using TPM-esque hardware, proving (ish) that it was captured by a real camera sensor.
The issue is that it’s pretty close to mandatory doxxing.
ToS is effectively a contract.
This interpretation of the ToS could be deemed unconscionable, but that seems like the kind of argument that takes a judge and 5-6 figures in legal fees to settle.
An arbitrator is just going to read it, say ‘yup, you broke the rule’, and side with the company.
I would hope so. CFRA seems to be the only explicit protection.
If it was just plain old trademark/copyright law, you’d be right.
It sounds like Tesla are basically saying that you signed an NDA/non-disparagement clause when you bought the vehicle, and therefore it’s a contract dispute.
Doh.
I found opensuse’s default firewall rules were very restrictive and you needed to open a port.
I expect so.
KDE Connect also works great as a remote control for many things, presumably including this.
I promise it will barely be harder than turning Copilot off…

Obviously not everyone reaches that. Even if you set the retirement age at 50, some people would die first.
Yes,
But also, perhaps superannuation being (at least here in NZ) not means tested and larger than all other welfare combined implies there is a problem.
It means more tax take and less superannuation spending. Depends on the country’s superannuation system, of course.
That means more money available for all the things taxes are used for, many of which are very very necessary.
How can you justify cuts to the healthcare system because you claim to not have enough money, but then pay pensioners some thousand dollars a fortnight, regardless of what assets or other income they have?

What I mean is that the bulk of current copper wiring goes towards distribution and consumption, not generation.
Yes, but big batteries everywhere is going to effect that if there’s copper in lithium batteries, and apparently there is.
This isn’t a big thing. This is a constant thing in every system. It’s the push and pull between efficiency and resiliency. More storage capacity is less efficient when things are going well, but is more resilient and adaptable when they’re not.
Excess storage capacity, sure.
But inflating the base battery capacity to cover people having showers at 5pm because it’s easier than storage water heaters and time/remote controls is stupid. You can reduce the base need for batteries by reducing the need for electricity in the first place and reducing the use of vehicles that need to carry batteries in place of e.g. overhead catenary.
You’re wrong in terms of long distance power lines being mostly copper, but this does seem a lot like fossil fuel propaganda.
Motors, generators, and transformers can be built using aluminium; they’re just a bit bulkier and less efficient. Very common practice.
It looks like CCA might be making its way back into house wiring in the near future, with much lower risks than the 70s aluminium scare.
The big thing is that batteries really should be a last resort, behind demand response (using power when it is available, rather than storing it for later), long distance transmission, and public transport instead of private vehicles.
That’s incorrect. Aluminium is about 30% worse by volume than copper, meaning you need to go up a size. What stopped it being used for houses was that the terminations weren’t good enough, because aluminium has different thermal expansion and corrosion properties, plus they were using much worse alloys. That’s now mostly fixed and if you’re in the US, there’s a very good chance that your service main is aluminium, and there’s talk of allowing copper-clad aluminium (CCA) for subcircuit wiring.
Per mass, aluminium is a better conductor, which is why it’s almost exclusively used overhead and in pretty significant volumes underground. The power grids were built on ACSR.
Even “App App” would be better.
Google has removed the video through an automated process without talking to the owner of the channel or verifying who owns the video in the first place.
Honestly sounds like Hanlon’s Razor on Google’s part. No collusion necessary, just can’t be bothered to maintain/staff an actual effective system.
Road design is part of it but improving road design only improves ‘reasonable’ drivers, and things like chicanes, lane narrowing, and speed bumps cause issues for larger commercial vehicles like buses.
Persistent asshole drivers will still drive drunk or drive dementia, run red lights, or go three times the speed a road is built for.
“the systems and environments we place people in” is not just the road. It’s the licensing regime, the society that makes having a car necessary even if you can’t drive safely or afford to maintain it, and that doesn’t mandate effective ongoing training.
