In fact it is true.

I know your cowardly asses modded me down. You can't fight anyone who can fight back, only children who can't stop you from raping them.
"You are a rather solipsistic fellow aren't you? You never got on or off a bus in the dark so no one does."
Literally the opposite of what I said. Are you having Gemini write your comments?
I live in B.C. and applaud losing the time change, but think the choice of time zones going forward wasn't the best.
I'm expecting major buyer's remorse this winter when people realize that the sun sets at 5 in December and January, and doesn't rise until 9.

It's no surprise that most Slashdotters have lost their sense of wonder, as they've forgotten what it was like to be children.
Despite DST existing, I clearly remember waiting for the bus in the dark for part of the year.
DST doesn't do what it's supposed to do, and it kills people. It's weird to celebrate that.
It's a regulation forced on them by the EU's AI Act, which neither companies nor users want.
The target audience for this particular rule of the AI Act isn't the producers or users of AI. It is the consumers of content that might be AI generated.
And frankly, letting people know if they see AI content or not is a fair thing to ask.
And honestly, "not measuring how much a human contributed" is IMHO a massive flaw in general
Fun fact: The EU AI Act considers this. It makes a difference between "AI generated" and "AI modified".
But it's hard to put this into the type of watermarking they are using. Because if you generate a text and then change a few things here and there what you are doing is degrading the watermark. But since the watermark is probabilistic, it's hard to tell if it was a weak watermark from the start or if it was degraded.
Is there any language in the Terms of Service / Terms of Use that declare that their service is a mandatory reporter?
I guarantee you that they gave themselves the right to review your input for any purpose and inform law enforcement if they feel the need. I haven't read the agreement, but I'd still bet money.
Nobody, I repeat, nobody who uses AI is going to see "OpenAI adding watermarks" and think, "Oh, I better use AI more, especially OpenAI".
You're very good at ignoring things, like the rest of the story.
Initiative, Clearinghouse... What? Most of us don't even want to know whether those are programs or products, and certainly don't know now.
IBM is pretty bad at naming in general, their names really tell weird stories. And I say that as someone who used to work for them doing support for TME10, another beautifully named product.
On VMware fusion? So on top of an inferior OS and also inside of virtualization?
Your answer to Apple using twelve or more gigabytes of users' disk space is they should print and delete some documents? Do you work for Adobe, or HP?
This is only true when the data is insufficiently characterized to begin with. It should be obvious which parts are confidential. You flag records as such ahead of time specifically for purposes like this.
We do get a lot of weird cross signaling about the future, don't we? They cry about falling birth rates while making it less attractive than ever to try to raise children, complain that no one wants to join the military while making it a worse place to be -and what else are those unwanted children for? Certainly not for the jobs they're obsoleting with AI, but if you don't have a job you can't have health care or food aid. Unless you can find volunteer hours that is, so you can have health care but only if you work for nothing, welcome to our latest form of mass slavery.
Razor wire is easy enough to cut with the same tools you'd use for catalytic converters. Those DCs can get it, too.
Old programmers never die, they just become managers.
