Ultimate Online is where I have my fondest memories. On private servers, not on the origins one. Loved the people and the skill system where you could be anything. Also getting wrecked by a dragon 3 mins in game was nice. Also pack llama bombing the britania’s bank. Fun times.

I quitted few years ago already. I bought a pack of those peppermint like pills that contain nicotine to help stopping. They tasted so horribly bad I just had like 2 of them and quit smoking cold. So maybe go get some of those disgusting pills.

This smells of Pratchett :)

We tend to forget that all of that is to support people. Tech shouldn’t be an end goal, merely one of the ways to achieve it. And not always the best one at that.

Truely a nice one. The community around it is quite cool as well.

And forget the clamp in the process ?

Your examples are clear indication that you know jack shit about actual police work. Admittedly in civilised countries where there are checks and due process. Cops aren’t getting access freely to comms. A magistrate can depending on circumstances. And there’s plenty of red tape everywhere. Even telco operators will refuse to respond to a request if not absolutely justified. And typically that’s not when timmy sold some shit to his neighbour. Organised crime, murders, rapts… instances of those with actual victims are not threats, they are shits that happen and needs to be sorted.

Lemme be the judge of that… grow a bit and put your argument on the table.

Don’t hesitate to develop…

Call interception, retro and all methods of investigation relying on télécommunications are, and need to remain, a tool available for police forces when the crimes they are investigating are greatly impacting society. Having a prosecutor request those within acceptable limits is a net positive. Not the same as having dragnets spying on everyone in the hope of hitting keywords mind.

But criminality is using more and more complex tools at their disposition and there’s just no way of policing like in medieval times anymore.

Working server side much? Pretty sure a lot of us spend a lotta time on fixing shit unrelated to either of those 3… Not that it diminishes the merit of our IT support dude that endure due to those 3 indeed.

Dark if true…

They are active in whistleblowing, not privacy leak management…

Nha they publish metadata describing the leaked data. If you’re a data subject concerned by the incident you then request a copy of yr information which requires proper identification.

Why would they share the data itself….

Would you happen to have one to recommend to switch from Spotify to apple music? I’m thinking about moving but my playlists are keeping me from leaving.

At this point they are somewhat catching up on what traditional banks are doing it seems…

Typically llm are rather ressource intensive - you need beefy hardware to run those at speed. Especially if you intend to train them with your data to improve their relevance. I don’t think mobile phones or run to the mill laptops are going to be enough for any non-trivial implementations. I might be skewed by experiences on non-personal projects though.

How do you anonymise without supervision ? And obfuscation isn’t anonymisation…

They could try to pass it as a legitimate interest but likely it would be struck as being ultimately disfavouring the individual and favouring the business. Probably.

Well then explain me how you propose to apply data subject rights to a llm… you can’t currently un-train those as far as I know. And that’s not touching IP which isn’t exactly the same here and there.

I’m professionally watching what’s happening with this very topic and the current state of the law and related decisions makes everyone in the business cautious at the very least. Doesn’t prevent business to take risks but it’s risk taking indeed.
