I don't want a cloud login telemetry of when I am using my computer, an account that can be disabled by a provider, and constant ads to backup to onedrive. I also moved to linux because of this. (was already a linux guy, but Windows is completely in my rear-view now.)

"NO LLMs for finding bugs" is easier written as "Don't use the tools your adversaries will"

I've written code a long time and that's probably the dumbest rule I've seen.

This sounds like a very much wanted release of mental stress to me.

Nice to see one that isn't trying to grow into an agent business or cloud service.

It seems with AI models this space is ripe for on-domain ad sales as a SaaS. Just pay an invoice to "advertise here" Have an AI make sure the links adhere to content policies. Don't track visitors or charge per click. Just pay a fee and get the banner.

I feel the exact same way about Amazon lists and that's what I use them for. I wonder if that's why the "Add to List" button is somewhat hard to find, and if they regret the feature.

This. And to make it even better: every law should only be about one thing, just the thing it's meant to deal with, and nothing else.

Slope's Game Room is a popular Youtube channel and he makes video game history documentaries and other content.

It appears he ran afoul of Google and is danger of losing his account because of content he is not responsible for.

He copied the chat logs of a scammer who had doxxed him. They are written in a language he does not speak or read. He intended to share them with a Spanish-speaking friend who can translate them properly for him. These were uploaded to his google drive account.

That text, which he did not write and cannot read, contained what Google considers against their content policy as hate speech, and has flagged DJ Slope for deletion and cut him off.

He is pleading for help from anyone who can get in contact with Google to help him in this matter.

Since this is not commercial, how does it interact with California AB 2602?

If anyone from there reads the parent, they should know they have created an atmosphere where the worry of possible prosecution over responsible disclosure has the potential to scare away the best minds in our country from picking at these systems.

That just means the best minds from other, potentially less friendly countries, will do the picking. I doubt they will responsibly disclose.

I also have experienced various delays related to my cpap machine. I wonder how much of this debacle is because people in the know knew that this was coming, and therefore intentionally delayed anything to do with cpaps.

I guess I date myself, but cell phones were banned in my high school because of a strong association at the time with drug dealers. A teacher seeing one was equivalent to seeing contraband.

Wow. When someone is so well versed in a topic that everyone else has to use the world's most popular and advanced artificial intelligence to understand what they have just said. Bravo.

I think one should be careful using the term "click fraud" in this context. Someone who installs this extension doesn't in my mind qualify to be defrauding anyone. There is no contract in place, it isn't against the law to express interest in a product, and there's no technical controls being breached illegally as the browser is just sending a request to a server.
