Florida Statute 836.10 makes it a second-degree felony to send, post, or transmit a written or electronic record threatening to kill or injure someone, carry out a mass shooting, or commit an act of terrorism.

She wrote out in a means she thought was private. If using a paperback diary, no one would be the wiser and her not acting on it would never be noticed.

Anyway, if she gets a good lawyer, show me where she "sent, posted or transmitted" said electronic record! It's really no different than emailing that to yourself because you think you'll be the only person to see it. (Never mind companies scan your email and cloud too)

Telling the wire tap all your secrets, and expecting it to honor them?! is fucking next level delusional.

Kinda unrelated. But what happens when OpenAI or Anthropic's loans come due and they have no legal way to turn a profit, but are sitting on a treasure trove of corporate secrets?

Don't use "AI" for anything you wouldn't mind seeing plastered all over the Internet. You wouldn't tell a human being that you were planning to "shoot up a sheriff's office" would you? Why would an AI keep that a secret?

I find it interesting that, if their AI gets out of control, there's nothing they can do about it, but if a USER of that AI gets out of control, there is something they can do about it..

Why would you even use Claude as a fuckin diary?

AI and idiots go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Americans doing anything but proper gun control

Self host if you're gonna use AI, in fact, self host whenever possible. There are numerous examples of companies using centralized data to sell, report to police, or even having it fall into the hands of hackers.

I really think people think that all data input to a website is actually stored locally, nope, don't be dumb.

And people were not-so-long-ago concerned that phones are spying after them. Now they just send all the info themselves.

Who would use AI to write down dairy entries? Was she looking for feedback?

In my school district, kids kept getting called to the office because of what they wrote in Google Docs and their search queries. Sexual reproductive scientific research was also impossible to do

It's always interesting to see how much people trust sending such personal information to some service on the Internet, expecting privacy.

I'm not sure I'd even want my own self-hosted LLMs to have something like a personal diary. Sending all that to an AI company would never even cross my mind.

I understand that most people aren't the tech-oriented types who get into self-hosting and running their own LLMs, but people have had diaries for centuries before LLMs existed.

"The company says it may share user information in limited emergencies if it believes disclosure is necessary to prevent death or serious physical injury."

Also keep in mind: Your chat logs are company assets. Even if today's decision makers believe maintaining user trust is net profitable, that will not always be true. Some day, maybe when the pullback comes and the wolves are at the gates, or when they sell the company, or when a shareholder action asserts fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, your chat logs will be sold and mined in the most lucrative way possible. The way that extracts the most value from you, the product.

The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

So she shouldn't even get charged.

This means a significant portion of Lemmy (and the rest of the internet) are criminals evading justice

great law top shelf

The communication must be made in a manner in which another person may view it.

So, their entire argument hinges on someone from Anthropic manually reviewing EVERY ""private"" message someone sends to Claude? Them false charges.

After a human reviewer examined the statements, they were reported to police.

The guardrails are working as intended. ONLY persecute the public with them. Government skynet, and bond villains will have access to non guardrailed models, or any "flagged for review" markers will be ignored to bomb more elementary schools. A sheriff's office is government power related. School shootings is just a thoughts and prayers issue, if you're confused about the line between this and other incidents/attitudes we are being spied on for.

Hell yeah. Thought crime. Time to get Tom Cruise in here to Minority Report all of us.

While a chatbot has been demonstrated not to be a private diary, it will be interesting to see if the courts agree that she intentionally use her diary to communicate or thought that someone else would read it. Like most users of dear diary she probably thought her secrets were safe and her diary would never tell.
