    Hot take : almost no one actually needs security cameras in their home.

    For the very few who do, visible fake cameras do 95% of the job of real cameras with none of the drawbacks.

    EDIT : I’ll go even further and say an official looking sticker / plaque that says something like “this house has cameras” does at least 50% of the work already.






  • I have been thinking of adding a license clause to everything I make (code especially) that makes any AI trained on it my sole exclusive property, but I don’t know how defensible that would be in court ?

    Or any other sort of trap clause. But again, I don’t know how to word it. Like “this makes your model public domain” or “you grant a free worldwide unlimited license to every human on earth”.

    Something that makes the mere inclusion of the code in a training data set into absolute legal poison to the would-be owners.

    I am not a lawyer, not even slightly…



  • Besides the privacy implications : trying to protect children from grooming by forbidding specific apps, is like trying to treat chickenpox with concealer.

    The real problem is that our society is even producing people who would groom a child.

    But as always, politicians will try to “prevent” crime at the latest possible point in the action chain, instead of going back to the source.

    I dont want to understate the fact that going to the source is extremely hard to do in many cases ; but maybe people would be less disinterested in politics, if we were actually choosing between different treatments - instead of different brands of concealer - to treat our various collective cases of chicken pox.
