  I feel like anyone advanced enough to have use for ancient human DNA data will also be advanced enough to decode unfamiliar storage formats

  Seems like an ongoing trend with these sorts of bills getting struck down, 1st Amendment doing good work as usual

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pornhub to block two more states over age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The laws generally require adults to upload some form of government ID

  Absolutely insane

  Crypto is meant for self custody anyway, not great if everyone is relying on a bank to do it for them.

  I don’t honestly mind the idea of AI powered OS features and would use them, the problem with this is it uses Copilot and Microsoft isn’t at all trustworthy to not be collecting and misusing user data in general. This would be cool with totally open source software and AI that runs entirely on your own gpu.

  Every surveillance state has the problem of being a surveillance state

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨House votes to reauthorize FISA, without the warrant requirement amendment⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone is actually a fent dealer I expect they would be able to easily get a warrant. The only reason they need this is so they can spy on the rest of us with no record of it.

  I don’t buy it. If you have examples of someone successfully suing to be unbanned because the ban was beyond the terms of service I’ll be convinced but I don’t think that’s ever happened or would ever happen because I don’t think terms of service waive any rights to deny access to servers the company owns, especially when it’s free to begin with.

  From the article:

  At the end of the day, platforms like Discord have no obligation to host anything they don’t want to host, as we discussed back when GitLab did something similar by deplatforming Suyu’s code.

  “Their first email was that my account has broken the TOS, with no additional information.” He claims Sudachi wasn’t doing anything infringing. Later, he was told it vaguely had something to do with intellectual property but says Discord still hasn’t given him any details.

  The bans I’ve gotten myself are always like this when it’s a big company. No real explanation given, no recourse possible, I don’t expect a lawyer would tell me differently. IMO the only solution is to stop focusing on the “rules” they have written entirely for their own benefit and start using systems that are more decentralized in terms of who is actually in control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yeah. Terms of service don’t exist for the benefit of the users. If the company doesn’t like what you are doing, nothing stops them from banning you, there’s no reason to expect them to try to be fair about it. This is why these sites/apps having a dominant position is such a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers create AI worms that can spread from one system to another⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this really a worm if all it’s doing is sending a prompt to persuade an AI agent with authority to send emails to send emails to other AI agents? Like this guy’s saying in the article, just assume that AI output produced as a result of user prompts is the same as unfiltered user input and should be treated that way:

  “With a lot of these issues, this is something that proper secure application design and monitoring could address parts of,” says Adam Swanda, a threat researcher at AI enterprise security firm Robust Intelligence. “You typically don’t want to be trusting LLM output anywhere in your application.”
