AI Music Generator Suno Admits It Was Trained on ‘Essentially All Music Files on the Internet’
  • Taking other people's creative works to create your own for-profit product is illegal in every way except when AI does it.

    No, actually its completely legal to consume content that was uploaded to the internet and then use it as inspiration to create your own works.

  • Mozilla adds stupid AI stuff with horrible T&C
  • Because Mozilla takes a metric shitload of your data via fakespot such as (but not limited to)

    Internet or other electronic network activity (e.g., browsing history, search history, information regarding an individual's interaction with an internet website, application, or advertisement, and online viewing activities)

    And then sells it to advertisers

    Category of Third Parties to Whom Personal Information is Sold and/or Shared: Advertising partners, Service providers

    Just a snippet of the privacy policy. There's other bad stuff too like location tracking. It's also all ran through Google analytics.

    So much for a privacy respecting Mozilla

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Anything on the signal protocol could have an infected cilent be delivered, or backdoor server side by providing the wrong keys.

    Facebook might comply. Would guess that Signal would refuse and would be hit by some absurd fee like 100mil a day for not complying and be forced to pull their services out of the UK.

  • Google Chrome is no longer 'deprecating third-party cookies'
  • We also share aggregated, non-personal data and related usage information, which does not contain any personal information which can identify you or any other individual user, with third parties, including content providers, website operators, advertisers and publishers.

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • Totally agree, unfortunately it's a question of whether Chromium forks can't keep up with cutting out Google stuff comes before or after Mozilla and/or their rendering engine falls apart.

    Fingers crossed for Ladybird + Servo

  • Amazon says it now runs on 100% clean power. Employees say it’s more like 22%
  • First off there's no such thing as 100% clean or renewable power. Solar panels are metals (mined with petroleum powered equipment and probably refined in China using coal) plus petroleum products (plastics etc). They're shipped around on trucks and boats, and if they're burnt to remove the petrolium products before extracting the metals when they're 'recyced' then it's literally burning fossil fuels.

    Not only that but they're buying RECs. The power they're consuming could very well be 100% generated by coal, but they gave a few bucks to somebody who had solar or wind.
