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.

You're very good at ignoring things, like the rest of the story.

Not by asking Alexa to do it anymore, that's for sure.

You aren't paying for seniors. You are partying the government to replace the money the government stole from seniors.

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.

Well, initial stupidity can come at a very high price.

Yes. Funny thing: There is a regulatory requirement here for any financial service provider here to have a cloud replacement strategy. That includes cloud providers. Would be a good thing for everybody to have that, but people are stupid, full of themselves and greedy.

I would have though that by now they are all gone. Probably those left are the ones that stupidly painted themselves into a corner and never thought about exist strategies.

Razor wire is easy enough to cut with the same tools you'd use for catalytic converters. Those DCs can get it, too.

Probably not yet, but I wouldn't assume they aren't or won't be, and they certainly are being scanned for CP.

Yeah, that's the question, but since they're already scanning for CSAM (which I'm not against, BTW) there's ample precedent for scanning your data for unlawful content.

You should never, ever trust any data storage provider to keep your data secret, or to not snoop through it. That's not a thing. They are snooping through data all the time, if yours doesn't get looked at, it's only by luck.

Every chance to get another story about how AI is so powerful it must be regulated serves at least two purposes. First, it is an advertisement for the power of the technology. Second, it is a plea to allow the entrenched AI companies to write regulation to permit them to control the industry. These are not extremely complicated ideas, though they do require that you not cede responsibility for thinking to software which is incapable of doing it because the tokens don't mean anything to it. It has the same ability to comprehend the ramifications of killing a process and killing a person, none. It can produce you a report about the difference and still not have anything like understanding. And the less you use yours, the more unable you're going to become to do so.
