So every international traveler could be searched to see if their meds contain any patent violations and seized at the border?
This is entirely unworkable.
Didn't they say some rogue VP set up his laptop to torrent all 72TB of Z-Library to feel o-llama?
I wish my laptop had that many drive bays!
Some people so want to believe that a useful information retrieval system is a superintelligence.
The rest of us aren't surprised that an interesting search engine isn't good at chess.
I'm familiar with some organizations that have been feeding their Slack data into a RAG for employee queries.
They're going to be quite pissed if this has been shut down by Slack.
You forgot Joan Rivers.
I implemented portsentry feeding fail2ban on edge servers to deal with the unrelenting scans.
It helps, somewhat.

Yup, but now the AI lobby is stronger than the oil lobby.
I guess whichever the military needs more.
There are some videos online with sound.
Do we hear the engines?
Hopefully an airplane enthusiast who is familiar with the expected sound profile can comment.

Here, I'll spoon feed you the relevant part of the linked story:
ARC is apparently selling data to Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is a part of the Department of Homeland Security. ARC entered into a contract to provide data beginning in June of 2024, and the contract remains in effect until 2029.
I don't like Darth Cheeto. I don't like that he ignores the law and the constitution when it suits him. But you cannot blame him for something done by the Biden administration.
Well,
I googled for it yesterday and got a few dozen factories as hits
Great. Post some of those links. Hell, post one of them.
Yes, and each floppy disk usually had hundreds of floppies. [then some spiel about legacy users]
I'm going to assume that the above is just a typo, and you meant "each floppy disk drive." Even still, it makes no sense. Are you seriously suggesting that legacy users are consuming three times the annual production of the entire market at its peak? Do you not know what the word "peak" means?
Right, so you pay $10M in programmer salaries, make $5M in revenue, and have to pay tax on your $3M in profit. Kinda puts a wet blanket on things. And every time you grow you go through the same thing -- expenses now, taxes now, deductions later.
Sure. But that's a one time issue, and after five years your carried forward deductions add back up to 100%. The change was just a short term revenue boost for the government, not anything that affected anyone long term.
That is the question.
I can see if they outsourced something and delegated a subdomain and the contract expired and then somehow the spammers got the IP's (hosting farm?) which had been abandoned and set up DNS.
But I've never been able to request a specific IP when setting up a VPS or colo, so it's kinda a mystery to me.
404 should have included the most basic of details.
Our social structures prey on the human animal instinct for convenience and instant gratification.
Higher-level humans are trained to resist these urges by traditional social structures.
The "cultural Marxists" encourage each of the "seven deadly sins" to disarm the people who are being trained in the more frontal-lobe strategies. That makes them much easier to control.
Big Tech is an instrument of this structure. Corporate law makes it trivial to exploit them, and that's the ones not founded by Int-Q-Tel.
Yeah, there's even been an aggregator website for a decade:
It's often broken, but "security researchers"? Come on, now.
Economists state their GNP growth projections to the nearest tenth of a percentage point to prove they have a sense of humor. -- Edgar R. Fiedler
