I don't want them to be required to tell me why they're overcharging! I want them to be required to not overcharge!

Yes, and that paragraph completely contradicts an earlier one.

It might not look like it, but the person on the other side has the same tools you do. If they wanted the generic answer, they'd have it in a couple of seconds.

They're not asking you because they want you to "polish the text" from AI. They could also do that themselves.

Using AI to automate tasks that could be automated with a script is awful. And if the endpoints are there for AI to trigger actions, then a simple script could use those same endpoints to do the same thing.

Using AI to help write the script? (Strong emphasis on "help") Ok, maybe in some scenarios.

But just constantly running AI to do shit is like firing up your big diesel pickup to go down the block to visit your neighbors, except in this case the diesel truck can't even be trusted to reliably take you to your neighbors every time you want to go there. There's always the chance it's going to decide to go somewhere else.

Yep. That's not just a stupid headline. It's flat out wrong.

My guess is that this law will not pass.

Reread the first 5 words of the headline.

Resproxies are not inherently illegal. Some are used for evading censorship by routing internet traffic through ordinary looking residential homes. AI companies, for example, increasingly rely on resproxies to scrape data from multiple places on the internet in one go to train their AI models.

I "love" how that paragraph tries to paint AI companies use of hijacked residential TV's to avoid being detected as they scrape the web for training data to steal as some kind of legitimate use of hijacked TV's.

Pro tip to Zack Whittaker, the Techcrucnh author: There is NO legitimate use of someone else's Internet connection without their knowledge and approval. Full stop.

I'm not sure, but I think you might be confusing the FCC with the FAA.

conference organizers said they have imposed a ban on “Meta-style glasses with recording capabilities.”

Dammit. I was hoping they explicitly called them "pervert glasses" like the headline suggested.

malicious mp3 files on a USB

LOL, this is hilarious, while simultaneously infuriating that the owners of hardware are required to install a Trojan Horse to uninstall the malicious software installed by the manufacturer.

I'm so used to these penalties never being enough to change behavior that I just assumed that was going to be the case here again. Buuuut, METAs market cap is apparently $1.562T, soooo for once I'm thinking... "Yah, that's about right."

It will always make one up. Sometimes it may get lucky and the made up one exists and is relevant, but it still just made it up.
