I did not say a thing about attribution. This specific case might be a slam-dunk. The takeaway I got however was that the methods mathematicians use - they wanted some sort of rights to it. I no longer can access the article to quote promp

I can't agree more strongly with this statement. It is mind-blowing how can it be socially acceptable to treat other people's confidential data so mindlessly We should have a law which penalizes businesses for leaking other people

Chinese companies will train their models on all the data they can get their hands on. We can make USA companies act ethically, but then they would become irrelevant. The "safeguards" they were made to implement already makes them

At this point, the word "racism" was misused so much, that its meaning is completely lost. People use it to throw dirt at the ones they don't like, like monkeys throwing feces at each other.

One day someone would reverse engineer the data TV feeds back to mother ship, and makes a fake driver to feed it garbage. Or not garbage. I could see some fun and profit a crowdfunded poison data could generate

I'm the one on receiving end of this game, and I'm sick and tired of playing it. I would so much rather pay full price and stop wasting my time looking what credit card to use for what purchase. This game benefits nobody but banks

It is censored. They just don't tell you what they censor you for. You need to post, and then your account gets locked for bogus reason, and that's how you know what not no say. Like in Carlin's joke about words you are not s

Nearly all UK drivers = "total of 1,850 drivers". Also mind you, in UK you can go to jail for disagreeing with narrative. I hold this article somewhat sus. With that said, yeah, headlights are kinda bright these days

I'm considering a new heat pump (ducted) and daikin seems to require One+ Smart Thermostat to run it in most efficient way, so - cloud. I don't think this project supports plugging into it, but perhaps it's possible?
