Remember that CDs, CDRs, and so on we’re originally pitched as surviving 100 years. Turns out they last a highly variable amount of time but potentially as little as 2-3 years before they degrade, depending on the construction.
So I’ll just say, this is clearly a theoretical value.
Edit: Words.
The first week after Sora was released, characters were shown doing all sorts of brand-unsafe things. OpenAI spoke with companies after that and created blocked term lists to prevent characters and certain interactions with them.
That is fairly coarse “limiting.” However, user red-teaming still makes it possible to show copyrighted characters doing objectionable things. That will likely continue once this is released, unless they are doing something different (like having output be re-reviewed by a secondary AI system and actively exclude the output’s description of negative portrayals rather than just user prompt terms).
JD: Why won’t they stop doing it? I specifically demanded it.
Very interesting. I followed BD circumvention on the doom9 forums from that link decades ago, but it looks like the VUK database method is more reliable now.
Is there some version of Handbrake or workaround for BD copy protection? This is the excerpt from the site, and matches my understanding that it isn’t a circumvention tool:
Supported Input Sources:
Handbrake can process most common multimedia files and any DVD or BluRay sources that do not contain any kind of copy protection.
Yeah, but did you hear? Spez is a billionaire now! The last step of the business model! Great job everyone!
Yeah, this 100% only works (but I think does work) with a reliable physical chain of trust, since we’re not yet in an age where you can Mission Impossible mask social engineer trust face-to-face. Not a great plan if this isn’t a USB drive handed directly to them, though.
You could always package them with everything they need to watch, like VLC (which should be able to read most formats anyway). Not clear if they are all on Windows, but perhaps you could include the portable VLC version that doesn’t require an install and make an obvious-named VLC playlist file for them to open.
Ah, the Centurion package.
Since we’ve all enjoyed SaaS allowing us to pay monthly fees until death for everything from our word processor to our sleep tracker, get ready for Compute as a Service to take over everything else once none of us can afford home computing.
This is the internet, you can’t swear here.
Ok, that is much closer to half (or, let’s just say effectively half) than I thought. I’ll go eat some crow.
That is so technically accurate, I love it.
Not downplaying that this is real dumb, but “half the US” is meant to be misleadingly attention-grabbing. The states that are doing this are not the most populous states. No law like this exists in NY or CA, for example.
I don’t know the amount of the population living under these laws, but it is not nearly half, even if half the states have passed such laws.
Did Larry Ellison get controlling stake in US Tiktok? I thought he was trying, but did I miss that happening?
SWF vector animations are incredibly resilient, actually. I can still pull my saved SWF memes, and run them through Ruffle at modern resolution, or Swivel to get 60 fps 4K lossless MP4 versions, or bigger. Kind of cool.
Do you reverse proxy, Tailscale, etc to authenticate or circumvent the need for a secure connection? Every time I come close to planning a switch, that part paralyzes me, it feels so unintuitive.
Do you remote stream (off your server network)? If so, how’s the experience?
I’m not on a downvote-enable instance, but I think from the other times this user has shown up, they’ve said that the thorn symbol is meant to disrupt AI.
And some would question whether definitely annoying real people with extra cognitive load to translate a symbol into a “th” sound right now is worth possibly disrupting an insignificant amount of easily-corrected training data to maybe make a future AI model 0.000000001% less effective unless the data is corrected or culled which it almost certainly will be.
I mean…sorry, but this is wrong. Mitsui CDRs for example are still being sold on retail sites advertising 100+ (and sometimes 300+) year longevity. Similar to bitrot, internet rot makes it hard to find advertisements from the 90s, but I am comfortable that was true then too and not limited to “gold” high quality discs like Mitsui.
