Creepy as F.

I hate that the headline is putting it as a foregone conclusion.

Instead of something along the lines of:
Will the government allow this massive theft of intellectual property of average Australians?

"Feels a bit like an invasion of privacy" as opposed to what that you already do on these platforms???

To be honest I expected that was the case since the beginning.

That surely won't result in an alarming use rate of words like n****r and f****t. Hell, that's the window of the hit YouTube video entitled "N****rF****t" starring... A member of the defuct comedy group (Derrick Comedy) that made the film, Donald Glover.

Bizarre how fast the changes we've seen have happened. The video was purposefully 'edgy,' but still.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


If you're among the majority of Australians with Facebook or Instagram accounts, your social activity on those platforms is about to start training Meta's artificial intelligence (AI) tools – and if you live in Australia, you can't say no.

When that policy comes into effect, Meta will start taking user data from as far back as 2007 and use it to train and improve their AI tools.

Dr Joanne Gray, a lecturer in digital cultures at the University of Sydney, explains: "The precedent in the US suggests that these companies are doing it under fair use, a US exemption that allows you to do some copying and create something new.

Speaking of legal cases, advocacy group NOYB (none of your business) has launched 11 complaints against Meta in the EU in relation to this new policy.

They've now added a "Made by AI" label, requiring users to have all realistic appearing AI-generated content carry it.

Cara incorporates a project called Glaze, "a system designed to protect human artists by disrupting style mimicry in the training of generative AI models".

ForgottenFlux OP , to Technology in Meta to use Instagram and Facebook posts from as far back as 2007 to train artificial intelligence tools

Summary:

  • Meta (Facebook and Instagram's parent company) will start using Australians' social media posts and activity dating back to 2007 to train their artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
  • This policy update will take effect on June 26, 2024.
  • Only users in the European Union and the U.S. state of Illinois can currently opt out, due to AI protection laws like the GDPR.
  • Many Australians were unaware of this policy change and expressed concerns about privacy and the impact on artists' livelihoods.
  • Artists like Sara Fandrey and Thomas Fitzpatrick are worried this will negatively impact their work and the creative industry.
  • Experts explain that while this may not be copyright infringement, it poses a threat to artists' economic assets and business models.
  • Advocacy groups have launched complaints against Meta in the EU, and some users are migrating to alternative, artist-run social platforms like Cara to avoid AI-powered content generation.

Honest question: do these animal flu/fever survive cooking?

scoobford ,

Not proper cooking to a well temp, but you never really know if proper food safety practices were observed or not.

I read, "fuck you Britain and fuck your opium cartel past." Seems understandable on that specific front.

A better headline, not written by an asshole:

"Tourist brings wrong lunch, fined $9,000 for pork combo"

Kekzkrieger ,

Better Headline yet: Reckless visitor tries to sneak in forbidden food and gets a fine.

There is a reason for this ban, its announced everywhere, and you even have a chance to give it up before going through the checks.
Its your responsibility to obey local laws, whether you like them or not.

I accidentally brought pork empanadas into the US on my carry on. I didnt want to keep them, they were kinda gross and was looking to toss them, they still made me wait in line somewhere and I missed my flight.
