That $10k was probably the limit for their work, not someone else’s stolen time.

Script kiddies bust their butts phishing and installing black market ransomware. This Whitney fellow is probably sitting in his office somewhere expecting people to just throw $100k (per month!) at him. ;-)

No one has pointed out that the AI companies are being sued for 'stealing' vast troves of copyrighted data, and the case is still in progress.

If the police departments are complicit, then does copyright stand to lose de facto as AI will only be increasingly implemented while the case slogs through the courts?

One bare minimum way to not get your data "stolen" is to not personally make it freely available on the internet.

My favorite part is when you search for a local file, but it fails because it can't connect to the internet.

With AI we can expect full disinformation posts with supporting conversations.

This would be good opportunity to test out BSDs or Illumos variants, as well.

At the Toys-R-Us in Antarctica, kids really don't grow up!
