"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

this needs to stop man
Not that it changes anything, but why nobody is saying, or asking, what was it flagged for? I find it suspicious the reason for the ban was not given in the story.
the artist does draw nasty shit and chances are he uploaded that to his drive, but does that really matter? the issue is still there even with this context, google scans your private files you upload to gdrive and the ai without any human input can just destroy your (or if not your, an average person's) whole life by permanently banning your google account along with all linked services like gmail or sign in with google stuff
Sucks big time for the user, but why are we still using Google, Microsoft etc when other solutions exist? Always back-up to a different service and encrypt first. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, ever.
Guys please backup your shit on blurays
BR disc sizes are:
25GB
50GB
100GB
Create an open session backup disc and add incremental backups monthly, mid year and end of year or yearly, etc...
it stops when you stop using it
i don't care anymore
Meanwhile the only thing I've ever used Google's online services for is piracy. I've got, like, three drives with ttrpg pdfs on them to share with friends (sorry Tom Bloom, but i did buy the originals)
-Create new RAR file
-Encrypt
-Password: #fuck$google69
-Copy paste dirty chinese cartoons
-Upload
-Sleep well
~~Also I'm pretty sure deleting/changing the file extension on your files will work too.~~
Just don't use Google for fucks sake!!
this needs to stop man
Seems like it is
Stopping man that is
I mean, Google hasn't offered support with real humans for over 8 years. Facebook has been on that even longer
Did Google ever have a support department?
Also, one of many reasons i keep my backups in my own four walls. Granted, if everything burns down, it's gone. But in that case i'm going to have bigger problems than losing my data. Another alternative would be a portable disk locked away at the bank.
Let's say I was trying to use this to make my relatives degoogle and added even an url showing Google's data hoarding and a degoogle alternatives list.
The only thing I got was... "Dad Gave Your Status a ❤️".
