  • As EFF’s guide points out, states must implement clear and precise legal frameworks that:

    • define surveillance powers and limitations;
    • ensure all surveillance measures pursue legitimate aims without discriminatory ends;
    • subject interference with privacy to rigorous necessity and proportionality analysis;
    • require prior judicial authorization for digital surveillance measures;
    • maintain detailed records of surveillance operations;
    • establish independent civilian oversight institutions with technical expertise and enforcement powers;
    • guarantee individuals’ right to informational self-determination and proper notification; and
    • provide effective remedies and reparation for victims of surveillance abuses.



  • Streisand the shit out of his IRS payments. I pay more taxes than the billionaire trump.

    In 2019, The New York Times obtained partial information from transcripts of Trump’s IRS Form 1040s (the main personal federal tax form) from 1985 to 1994,[51] revealing that during that time Trump lost $1.17 billion—the most of almost any individual U.S. taxpayer[51][110]—evidently to avoid tax liability in eight of those years.[168][169] Trump has acknowledged tax advantages inherent to the real-estate business, such as large write-offs from using depreciation of property to generate losses and reduce tax liabilities, which according to the Times “cannot account for the hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.”[110][169][170]

    In the 18 years examined by the Times, Trump engaged in tax avoidance to a far greater extent than most affluent Americans (the top 0.001% of tax filers). Due to this avoidance, Trump paid “about $400 million less in combined federal income taxes than a very wealthy person who paid the average for that group each year.”[171] While in many years Trump ended with little or no tax liability, there is no evidence he ever failed to file a return or pay his expected tax burden by the annual filing deadline (including extensions), even if such payments were later refunded when the returns were completed.[51] Over two decades, Trump’s golf courses and other businesses regularly lost significant amounts of money, which is one way Trump was able to reduce his tax liability.[171] For example, in 2018 Trump reported $47.4 million in losses,[51] and since 2000, Trump reported total losses of $315.6 million from his golf courses alone.[51] While Trump had significant income in many years, including from The Apprentice, he placed millions of dollars into his businesses which recorded losses for the year.[51][173] Many of these businesses also claimed significant non-cash losses for depreciation of owned properties, but this cannot account for the entirety of the losses Trump claimed on his returns.[171] Trump Tower in New York is one of the few businesses Trump owns that turns an annual profit, but as of 2020 he still appeared to owe the $100 million mortgage which was set to come due in 2022.[171]

    Beginning in 2011, the IRS was auditing Trump’s $72.9 million tax refund covering multiple years of paid taxes; the audit was not resolved as of 2020.[51][171] If the IRS determines that the refund was improper, Trump would be required to repay more than $100 million,[51][171] which includes interest on the amount. Trump has also personally guaranteed $421 million in debt, most of which is due within four years. Trump previously expressed regret that he had personally guaranteed debt during the 1980s which brought him close to personal bankruptcy when his businesses faltered in the early 1990s.[51] The bulk of the debt came from Trump’s struggling Doral golf resort ($125 million) and the Washington, D.C., Trump International Hotel ($160 million).[51] Trump also had failed to pay back $287 million in debt since 2010, according to the Times “far more money than previously known”. Forgiven debt is supposed to be treated as income, but Trump used tax provisions to avoid or defer reporting it as such.[51]

  • You want ai to do something it’s not able to do. Hallucinations are the foundation of how it generates text. Everything out generates is a hallucination, just some are more accurate than others.

    I agree with you, but that can be a useful tool in certain situations. They completely lied about its capabilities. A super intelligence will hopefully have a human and robot survival mode built in.


  • This is totally on point. I told gemini explicit instructions not to make shit up, things it told me to say, and it totally hallucinated over and over. I asked if paid versions are better. Then it gave sources that yes, paid is better, but not foolproof. Basically, the paid versions sandbox the shit out of the answer and then have it verified by other “agents.” The problem with this is, once it has access to the internet, it’s fucked. Reddit has poisoned most of the internet. There is no way for it to consistently get the right answer. It saying it’s completely correct is wrong. The only good thing it’s for is a search engine to get random, cool sources. I’m sure they’re ruining that as we speak. Why can’t these greedy mother fuckers do what’s right for the world.






  • I guess I don’t understand why we are talking about a chat with an LLM. What value does it have?

    Because I thought it had some great ideas to put some guardrails up after trump leaves office. We should be working towards these things in the meantime as well. The sources the llm attached had court cases that are currently working towards these things. It conglomerated all of the AI resistance.

    I know AI can be shit, but it seemed to verify its sources and was spot on in this one. I was just asking how much it cost google to run AI and then we went down this thread. I find it interesting, but feel free to downvote if you don’t.


  • I didn’t include the entire conversation, but the AI was convinced (not saying it’s true) that the money is going to be made in the business to business arena. That they will sell the transcribing and other redundant things to them. It will be in all of the low risk areas.

    That might be what they’re telling the people who are asking, but I bet they’re selling it as for all areas, and to get your data this way and sell it to other companies. There’s money to be had. Is it enough? Probably not. It will definitely screw us over in the meantime.

    Dotcom burst 2.0 already under way.
