> I did see one picture of Kamala making the same gesture as Elon though.

A picture lacks context. And if that is the one which I think it is, it is clearly an utterly different gesture due to the context. Misrepresenting that is not acting in good faith.

He often does not look normal.

He gave a nazi salute to the USA flag. He saluted once to the crowd, then turned around and saluted to the flag. Sadly many people have not seen the full video.

> He often does not look normal.

Nor does he talk "normally", so that's why I don't put much faith in the assumption that he was thinking that he was doing a Nazi salute.

Have you seen what he posts on his social media accounts? It is full of fascist, racist, conspiracy content. It is almost certain that he knows how a Nazi salute looks like and that it was two of them.

You would definitely need to convert to static HTML or the forum software would be exploited at some point in the future. Doing that while keeping URLs intact is not trivial.

I totally get your point and am pro non-deletion, but it really is way less work to just delete it all.

> Buying millions of ebooks online would take a lot of effort

Let me put that into perspective:

- Googling "how many books exist" gives me ~150 million, no idea how accurate but let's use that. - Meta had a net profit of ~40 billion USD in 2023. - That could be an potential investment of ~250 USD per book acquisition.

That sounds like a ludicrously high budget to me. So yeah, Meta could very well pay. It would still not be ethical to slurp up all that content into their slop machine but there is zero justification to pirate it all, with these kinds of money involved.

The number 150,000,000 is laughably small.

Anyway the problem is not money it's technical feasibility and timelines.

You clearly don't think LLMs have any value though, so W/E

No limitations on this kind of thing if you are in private use.

Forgive me for not knowing it was for personal use.

Indeed I was thinking about private use only.

What is the source for that claim?

That's different text.

Another FYI: Requesting one's archive seems to go nowhere nowadays.

I'm sure that was more convenient, but did it provide anything that the API doesn't? Asking because I'm planning to use the API to get a dump of all my bookmarks soon—I've always had a very pleasant experience using the Pinboard API, compared to many others.

Edit: I just checked and it's a single http call to get all bookmarks, very simple. Granted I 'only' have ~800 bookmarks, so it may get tricker with larger archives.

Hmm. I still use pinboard pretty actively although I don't usually link post any longer. I'll have to take a look.

Language is not thought or consciousness. Language is our means of consciously formulate things we want to communicate in a structured way.

If you can change the behaviour of the machine that easily, why are you convinced that its outputs are worth considering?

Because it objectively is. Do you use AI tools? The output is clearly and immediately useful in a variety of ways. I almost don't even know how to respond to this comment. It's like saying “computers can be wrong. why would you ever trust the output of a computer?”

But you needed to tell it that it was wrong 3-4 times. Why do you trust it to be "correct" now? Should it need more flogging? Or was it you who were wrong in the first place?

It's a different thing though. In your case they used a timestamp to manually look at footage and confirm an identity. In OP's case, automated recognition is used to identify and track people, in aggregation mass.
