Can’t argue that, but hopefully it’d be motivation for them to look at what they’re opening.

I absolutely have, and if they infected themselves with The.Odyssey.2026.1080p.AMZN.WEBDL.H265.exe I would absolutely make fun of them.

Sure, but this isn’t geochemistry it’s the most popular desktop OS in the world that the person in this scenario ostensibly owns and uses. In addition, they’re using it for the famously risky practice of piracy so you’d expect a modicum of caution.

So unhide them? It will still say Application under type. I’m not going to defend Microsoft doing that but it’s not like it’s a new thing or it’s hard to fix.

Sure except they did use a .exe. The article states the expected .torrent was being replaced with a .torrent that downloads an 865 MB .exe file.

If you run an exe expecting it to be a movie you kind of deserve it.

Every illness is a mental illness if you’re sufficiently mentally ill

Yes that’s basically what I said

I’d err on the side of it being illegal in two consent states as well but I agree that hasn’t been litigated yet and there’s lots of bought and paid for judges.

It doesn’t actually send the audio to apple though, according to them it’s sent to the phone, transcribed and “condensed” there with that condensed transcription and some context being what is sent to their servers for summarizing.

You’ve been able to just record audio with a watch forever now I don’t see how this is significantly worse than that.

Probably because you can see cat fur stuck to the feet already haha

That’s Lunar right

First time I’ve even heard of it

We already don’t have the right to do whatever we want with a copyrighted work without the publishers permission.

Because there’s more money to be made in keeping it than walking it back. I could see them making some kind of shitty carve out for the AI companies that they have to pay into I guess but nothing that would benefit the average person.

If I could get rid of both of them I would but I can’t so I don’t think it’s unreasonable have them go after the companies burning the planet to make the worst slop imaginable instead of people writing switch emulators or whatever. “Violating those sacred EULAs” causes the very site I’m posting this from to fight a constant game of cat and mouse with the bots trying to scrape it.

Meta literally torrented 82TB of pirated material off anna’s archive and similar sources they’re not just “analyzing” things they paid for. Not to mention the various terms of use stating that content can’t be used to train off of that they violate as they scrape the whole web.

They’re not going to walk back copyright law so I’ll take these rapacious AI companies being held a little closer to the same standard that we are.

It’s a misdirect, the caption is lying so that it’s funny when it is revealed that it’s not actually his dog the dog is just approaching him because he’s covered in peanut butter

It’s not actually their dog they’re just naked and covered in peanut butter
