The liberal media is repeating the same TIRED talking points about me downloading copyrighted yuri! COMPLETELY FALSE rumors Made up by Spectrum and other failed ISPs! Lucky Star is NOT YURI! Many people are also saying that Sakura Trick is not Yuri either because of its strong Anti Woke message of HARD WORK. Our people as always were VERY successful making New York Times cry over our strength at downloading the LEGAL linux ISOs that we SEED TO 2 ALWAYS from our beautiful RAID enclosure! Everybody in the Know has Already been talking about this.. We will also be investigating for Haruka Derangement Syndrome in all federal Employees going forward - very, very sick people who have NO IDEA who the absolute best girl is do not belong in goverment! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

AI companies are jiggling keys at the current government

Meanwhile I'm keying the AI companies' cars.

No worries, the AI companies will polish out those scratches using dead ducks and the blood of baby foxes

The senile presidents, ministers, MPs and other officials are salivating so hard right now.

Don't forget to feed that media dataset to your local AI to help develop it. You can download all you want for that purpose btw.

I have exactly the same issue! I'm still investigating the root cause. In mean while I'm deeply sorry for inconvenience.

I've already told them a few hundred million dollars of government assistance would expedite the investigation significantly but unfortunately it does not seem to be a priority of the current administration. It is a very complex and unprecedented situation, after all. At this rate it may take decades, possibly centuries before it concludes.

The current level of funding is insufficient to adequately support the research and investigative activities required to complete the study within a reasonable timeframe. Without substantial additional financial resources, the investigation may be significantly prolonged, potentially extending over several decades before sufficient evidence and findings can be obtained.

Because you know they'll always work. Linking directly to posts on various pages comes with the risk of directing people to dead or altered content.

A third party I contract with is consuming large quantities of copyrighted material to provide training material for my personal Ain't-artificial Intelligence Model. There's just no way to build it otherwise, and we can't possible afford for the Chinese to beat us to this goal. No rare books have been harmed in this effort.

I'm training the AI in the bottom of my amygdala on episodes of Slow Horses. I've heard copyright doesn't apply, that's fair use.

[–] mohab@piefed.social 10 points 3 days ago

Damn, I thought this is only happening to me. We should probably put our heads together and figure this out before it gets out of hand. Before we know it, we may have to build thousands of data centers to deal with this.

This does not seem to be an isolated event. I have had something similar happen several times. It seems the more I talk about it the more attention I get and the attention feels good so I just keep talking about it.

[–] Toneswirly@beehaw.org 12 points 3 days ago

We're all just trying to find the guy who did this, ok?

[–] Gork@sopuli.xyz 12 points 3 days ago

It's a shame nothing can be done about these security breaches. Absolutely nothing at all.
