He associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest, which due to being against Cop City, has been flagged as a terrorist organization by the fascists in charge.

There is literally no other reason to be found.

His lawyers have already found (through internal CBP emails) that they flagged him for suspected terrorism because he was associated with Defend the Atlanta Forest.

They internally categorized the group as anti-government, anti-authority, and a violent extremist group.

He protested against Cop City and associated with a non-violent, peaceful org that also protested against Cop City. Thats it.

I don't know what the fuck he did to get on the FBI radar

....

Dude is just protesting the construction of a large cop training facility near him.

That is what did it.

Ugh just think if you had a screen reader how that would come out (even though its more full words that read entirely different).

Meanwhile the font will just be checked for and an immediate discard for training. So no poisoning, and for such a small portion that it wouldn't impact ingest in the slightest.

Meanwhile they ignore the actual damn problem.

I'm just applying the same logic you did.

How much impact do these fonts have for LLMs scraping data?

Do you think the poisoning percentage will have any actual impact? Or do you think it would have an outsized effect on individuals?

Thats the point the very first comment makes - this method sucks. It impacts real people with a real need, and the impact on llms is nothing. Discard data in training.

Its meaningless, and the only real impact is people.

You are the one reading that as "dont do anything!", which is the same energy as me replying to you with "why do you hate people with disabilities???".

This is an AI LLM issue.

How?

Using disabled people as an excuse to discourage people from fighting isn't right, especially when no solutions are presented.

So you dont care if disabled people are able to use screen readers? Clearly this is your message, right? Not just a bad interpretation of a simple sentence?

The underlying message is, quite plainly, disabled people with screen readers don't matter. The potential to poison the tiniest sliver of a fraction of scrapes content is more important.

I don't like where this is going and I've seen disabled people used in arguments by people who know nothing of their struggles my entire life.

As someone with family members who used screen readers (among others), your dismissal of this very important use case tells me you know absolutely nothing of their struggles either, and that you are using the possible ignorance of someone else as a dismissal of an actual issue.

Please explain how "this isn't effective, but does negatively impact regular people" is the same as "don't fight back".

I'd love to hear this explanation. Please. Enlighten me.

Edit: I will take your downvote as your response then.

Personally I find it weird that you're simultaneously mad that people are saying "Don't fuck over regular people" while simultaneously seeming to argue against fighting capitalism itself by trying to repeatedly reframe this as an AI/LLM issue.

The cause of the problem is ~~being bolstered by~~ the companies ~~that make gen AI~~

Whether its gen ai or something else, the root cause is the same.

You are suggesting something that breaks things for a good number of people and has little to no impact on a specific subset of a specific type of company is the only way to fight back.

That is nonsense.

There is no value in telling people to stop fighting.

Let's see what was written.

TLDR; It fucks up accessibility for blind people (amongst others).

Its also pretty futile imo. AI is reading billions of words from books and posts. A handful of users obfuscating their posts is not going to do anything.

I don't believe I saw "stop fighting" in those sentences.

I did see "this fucks things up for many people, and this has little to no impact on ai scraping."

You have a very different interpretation of those sentences from me. I'd also point out the root of the issue has nothing to do with llm's, and everything to do with capitalism.

Maybe try fighting the cause of the problem rather than the most recent means of exploitation?

The problem in there is corporations. AI is just the means of the dickery, not the cause.

I would also go further and say the root cause is capitalism, and that someone being able to eat or be housed should not be based on whether or not their art has met the criteria for corporate purchase. But I digress.

Its not really accurate.

There are 3 sites, the primary r&d all happens in Cupertino, but the second largest r&d is out of Herzliya, Israel, and the third largest is back in California at San Diego.

The architecture is licensed from ARM, so UK there, and production is by TSMC, mostly Taiwain and expanding into Arizona.

As I understand it, the facility in Israel is responsible for architecture design related to components like camera sensor architecture, WiFi, etc. Apple bought Israeli companies to do this.

I think you're confused about the AI involvement here.

AI was used to check for cheating in a remote exam. The percentages that passed were several times more than in previous years, while 2% got tossed for "unspecified conduct issues".

Assuming those 2% were actually cheating and not the AI making a mistake is the issue.

These were multiple choice exams. There was no ability to copy/paste from an LLM. Could they have used another computer/monitor to look things up? Absolutely, but hardly relevant to the issue.

Let's not forget some parks either!
